1. Oh our good guys with guns

Broward or Coward Sheriffs

[Sneederbunk]

2. But what about the FBI? Should Sheriff resign?

[Sunsky]

24. No

Israel is going nowhere. He's staying with us.

[ok_cpu]

3. Seems like a good indication

That these guns do not belong on the streets. The professionals know they are overmatched.

[johnpowdy]

6. Then why did the Coral Springs PD enter?

[ok_cpu]

9. I don't think that's the question.

Why didn't the others go in? And I think the answer lies in a well-trained police force vs military grade weapons.

[johnpowdy]

12. Doesn't sound like they were very well trained to me. Multiple cops sat there while kids got killed

I'm against assault weapons but come on.....4 or 5 of them waiting around while kids getting slaughtered? And a football coach ran toward the gun fire to save the kids and died?? Sounds like the football coach had more training and was less cowardly. Sad

[OhNo-Really]

10. because Broward cops were scared shitless

meanwhile kids were bleeding out

see link above and read the article

THIS is why semi-automatic weapons do not belong in the hands of every tom, dic, and harry.

The police know they will die if they get i. shooters way.

[johnpowdy]

4. Yet the UNARMED football coach ran toward the gun fire and died to save kids

But armed deputies could not?

[johnpowdy]

7. I could understand a single deputy not entering but 4 of them were too scared?

Meanwhile the teachers died saving their kids, unarmed. Sickening.

[OhNo-Really]

11. a couple of kids died saving others.

[Squinch]

5. But the school librarian needs to hike up her cardigan, tighten up that bifocals chain, and

wade on in there, guns blazing.

[TheOther95Percent]

20. Shhhhh on the Librarian Stereotypes

Don't make me put my hair back in the bun and tie up my sensible shoes to give you a good talking to.

[Squinch]

21. I actually work in schools and wear my glasses on a chain at work, so it's more projection

than anything else! And sensible shoes? You don't know the half of it!

[MaryMagdaline]

13. They are trained to shoot unarmed black men.

[brush]

18. Yep, they're very eager then to engage and start shooting...no hesitation at all.

14. Seems like the Broward SO has some serious training problems

One failing is a failure of the individual. Four? That’s a huge systemic issue.

Who was the senior officer there? I hope not the SRO.

[Mosby]

16. it's not just them

Police are trained to protect themselves first, that's why they shoot so many unarmed people.

If we are going to allow people to have military type weapons then the police need to act like soldiers and put the mission (safety of the people) first. That's not what's happening right now, virtually everywhere. If I was a city council person or mayor, I would sit down with the police commanders to make sure they know their jobs. And if they don't get it, fire them.

[MaryMagdaline]

19. This issue came up after the Las Vegas shooting

Ptotect yourself first.

[njhoneybadger]

15. If four Deputies were afraid those weapons should be banned!!!!!!!

That is are talking Point.
We are allowing weapons that overpower our police forces

[Lee-Lee]

17. Umm, they had no idea what weapons were there since they didnt go in

You can’t tell a handgun from a rifle or what type when it’s fired inside a building and you are outside.

[brush]

22. You can tell automatic fire though. Nonetheless, those 4 cops should've done something...

maybe all enter thru different entrances while staying in contact with each other, take cover and wait to engage the shooter as he moved through the building.

I mean being a cop requires some degree of courage, right?

You know, the whole "protect and serve" thing.

[Lee-Lee]

23. The gun was semi-auto it would sound just like any other

And yes, they totally failed in not engaging immediately.
