re: Not a single one of you toe spreaders would have run into that school

How could anyone even think twice about going in with children at risk???

Lord….

Cop runs in, on edge because there’s a shooter involved. Sees movement and fires, killing a 9 year old.

Would that have been ok for you?

Take about 5 seconds and put yourself in their shoes. You’re going into a building you may not be that familiar with, where a stray shot from you is liable to kill some kid because you don’t have any idea what’s really going on. It’s a situation you’ve never trained for, and frankly you don’t know WTF to do.

If a cop fires at the first thing he sees moving then he shouldn't be a cop.

You’re the one saying they should run in headlong with nothing resembling a plan in the hopes they won’t screw up.

Pretty easy to say, but unless you’ve trained extensively in combat environment situations you couldn’t do it. And I sincerely doubt officers do a lot of that kind of ongoing training.

There’s a reason they bring in tactical units for things.

not a reply to anyone. But, LOL, a lot of folks got trolled by a scrawny little frick that couldn't beat up a fat 4 foot 10 year old at the Sonic. What are we doing here?

F%cking liar!

We pay them, we give them unlimited training, especially w guns/weapons. We out them in $80k vehicles and clothe them with technology like body armor, shields, etc.
For a majority of their career, like 98%, they are danger free.
And yes, when a school full of small.kids is ambushed. I gdamn demand that they get in there and take the attention off of the children and take that risk!.
But to NOT go in, and on top of that, stop real men who want to go in, AND arrest them...is about as fricking cowardly of an act a human being can do.

Can upu imagine waking up today and putting on a cop uniform and acting like your going "protect and serve", if you are one of the fricking cowards who stood there while the kids were slaughtered?

You are the devil himself...please cease to live.

Of course it is. You're a toe spreader.

There were loads of unarmed parents willing to run into that school. The AR-armed, kevlar-protected cops prevented it. Running to the children's aid is the natural instinct for most adults, men or women.

The fact that you imagine otherwise does make this thread about you, and does in fact establish you as likely the only "toe-spreader" in the thread.

Most officers fire their weapon 1 or 2 times a year to “qualify” in a sterile range with ear protection and safety glasses. Pretty shitty training for a police officer. The better ones at least go to the range and use their 100 rounds a month allotment. The serious ones enter competitions to train and build the skillset.

I can't speak for this community, but my wife's school (the whole school district to be clear) hosts the police department and SWAT team annually for an active shooter drill. They use dummy rounds, have actors, and it is incredible intense. They know the schools like the back of their hand.
