    How many cops are protecting your kid at school today?

    Reporters who attempted to approach the West Palm Beach home of ex-Broward County Sheriff's Office Deputy Scot Peterson were reportedly met with resistance from at least six police officers who were standing guard outside. “They prevented us from approaching the house,” WSVN’s Frank Guzman tweeted Thursday.

    The face of the coward:

    As if this is not bad enough, this coward think he did a good job:

    Still, Peterson said he thought he acted in the right way but calling the shooting in.
    'He believed he did a good job calling in the location, setting up the perimeter and calling in the description (of Cruz),' Bell said.

    While none of us know how we would respond to such a situation, he was being paid to do so.

    He didn't.

    This may not be popular, but until we learn what the department policy (if it even exists) is, all I see is a politician (Sheriff) making a political statement on the actions of the deputy.

    If the Department policy for active shooter response is identify and report location then wait for a response team, it’s a different equation.

    Most LEO will spend their careers without every having to deal with a violent crime in progress. Too much of the time their arrival is after the crime has been committed and it is only rarely that you catch a perp in the action of committing violence; for those serving in high crime areas this may be more common but for the majority of officers this is a rarity.

    With that said, every armed citizen, LEO or not, knows that when you are in the presence of someone who is killing innocent civilians, especially children, you have only two choices....duck and cover or wade in and do your best to stop it and save lives. Could he have saved at least one child? Would he have been gunned down within steps of the front door? No one knows and no one ever will.

    What we do know is this inaction enabled this demented punk to wreak havoc on innocent kids. I believe that the majority of these school shooters have no concept of what it is to be confronted with a trained shooting opponent. There have been enough incidents where a shooter was surprised by an off duty LEO or LTC citizen and he was gunned down immediately because he froze up, pissed his pants or otherwise was unable to deal with armed opposition.

    In my opinion, the law enforcement departments do not do a good enough job to prepare officers for individual action when protocol and orders are insufficient to save lives. Police officers, like many other public employees, are made up of great, good, mediocre and poor examples in terms of their commitment to duty. Protecting and shielding one who falls into the last category will the department and law enforcement in general no good.

    Would any of us have done what he did? I believe so....but I believe that the other 95% would have gone in and died trying if necessary. Anyone who is in the other 5% should not be wearing a badge.

    Sheriff stated policy was to immediately engage.

    That’s exactly what we’re examining,” Sheriff Israel said, noting that active shooter protocols require confronting suspects as quickly as possible. “You don’t wait for SWAT, you get in, and you push toward the shooter.”

    ...law enforcement departments do not do a good enough job to prepare officers for individual action when protocol and orders are insufficient...
    That statement is applicable to an infinite number of different situations and organizations. "We default to our training" is an excuse for not having a brain. We see evidence of that in all sorts of situations, from the most mundane to the most dramatic.

    The liberals see this as a Good Guy with a gun couldn't stop the killings. Then it's expressed how many concealed carry would have shown the cowardice. Therefore all guns are bad.

    They don't see it as the pOlice can't protect you. It's a job you have to do it yourself. Lots of reality is getting shattered with this. The pOlice ain't the end all to the safety of one's life. They're the same amount of human as the rest of us. They feel fear.

    It's been said already.... What a time to be alive.

    He wasn't the only cop that refused to engaged the shooter. There was two more deputies that didn't enter either. The other two are getting an administrative review. The main cop everybody is talking about got to retire because he had the points. The other two didn't. No names, rank, or seniority have been reported on the other two.

    Who exactly is suppose to eat a bullet?

    I’d like to see the actual policy. The sheriff, like all sheriffs, is a politician first.

    I’ve never felt it’s anyone’s role to protect me in the immediate sense. God expects me to protect myself and I hold myself responsible for protecting my family in the immediate sense.

    That can range from making decisions on where we go, what we do, and how we do it.

    Man, you're going to a reeducation camp too.

    In my view, there is a HUGE supply of ex-GIs from Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. who have proven track records for running towards the sound of gunfire. It should not be a problem to find someone capable of doing so to protect a school full of American children. FAILURE of the system, FAILURE of the administration, and FAILURE of the individual.

    As one of those people who’s done multiple combat tours in a combat arms specialty, I’ll be the first to say that most veterans probably wouldn’t be interested in doing that job unless it pays better than contractor pay, which starts at $250/day.

    Tactically, preventing the threat from entering the school is easier than successfully engaging the threat inside the school, especially if you introduce bunch of non-combatants into the engagement area.

    Peterson was THE School Resource Officer. It was HIS JOB to protect the students and staff. I hope the people guarding him do as good of a job as he did.
