Lets hear it for homeschooling and private schools. The public school model has been demonstrated as being dangerous. It can't be relied on. No amount of police state can 100% guard your offspring. It's time to change direction.

I have. I've been assigned a personal protection detail (which consisted of one guy; we liked to joke about that "detail" bit) on more than one occasion. I was in a gun-free zone with a credible threat to my life. It was Inspector Brown's job to protect me. He would not have hesitated to put himself between me and a threat.
So, my experience leads me to a different perspective.
If someone takes on the job, officially, for pay, to protect innocent people who are disarmed and vulnerable, that persons role is to protect them "in the immediate sense," even at the risk of their own life. Even if the chances of success are poor. The effort must be made.
The failure of this officer to make that effort is something I cannot comprehend on any level.
Not discounting your experience at all Ben. Protection in that sense is a whole different game. I’ve worked side by side with USSS Special Operations protecting a principal and I’ve had PSDs in a combat zone.
My position is in the context of law enforcement in general; their mission isn’t personal/dignitary protection.
In that context, you are completely correct.
I'm just not yet convinced that this particular case should be considered "law enforcement in general."
If your job is protecting kids, I think you take on a somewhat more personal responsibility.

Yes, my kids’ “school” has armed students lol.
You know, two of my teens were home alone when we had an escaped prisoner in the area that had tried to kick in a door somewhere close in the neighborhood, according to social media. I alerted my eldest (who has had pistol competition training) and reminded him where the Glock 34 was and that there were already mags loaded. He matter of fact advised me that was all he needed to know, and that if any such POS tried to kick in our door that he was gonna have a real bad day.
I felt totally at ease and didn’t even hurry home. Those texts were enough. That’s weird, huh?

Food for thought. If you weren't required by the government with a penalty involving jail. School Tax as it's known. You could keep your money and buy private instead. Something that smells American. Free market.
Public schools and common core are a sick Soros joke. You know it is. The convenience of it all is getting kids killed and Uncle Sam wanting tools of protection.

If I could have cloned myself, homeschooling would have gone a lot better. As it was, it was sorely lacking; yet it was good enough for the eldest to walk into his first classroom at community college at 15 (dual credit) and make A’s with the attached writing tutoring center’s help (which I counted as “English class”).
He’s my smart one. Middle one has no interest in academics but is setting up for machinist certificate (which means math stuffs must happen).
Little one, well I dunno about that one. I’ll help him figure it out.
Never accessing any public school at all (K-12) won’t be a problem for my guys though. We got this on our own.
Community college, though, we needs.

As my oldest’s 21st birthday was approaching, he was really excited. Not because he could legally drink, like most college students, but because he was old enough to apply for his CHL. For his birthday, I paid for his course, and paid his application fees.

Oh yeah. Good deal!
We will be right there alongside ya with the same deal.
I want to get the eldest his own pistol, but he’s got an bit to go before LTC at 21... just now 18. (I know he can have one before then if I gift him one which I plan to.)
For now... think I’m going to ask him if he wants to take a CPR/FA course and I’ll pay for it.

I mentioned before, I have concerns about the Sheriff’s political motives. Last January, his deputies responded to the Ft Lauderdale Airport active shooter event and had some lessons to learn from that event.
“An internal draft review released Friday by the Sheriff’s office points to a series of failures ...found that BSO's failure to take immediate control of the situation led to a series of errors and that communications between law enforcement agencies were in some ways ineffective.”

Well of course he did....he is still breathing.
My head imploded when I heard this. Insanity. Complete and utter insanity.
Do either of you know what his training was regarding an active shooter? Most training today is scratch ass and wait for backup and then wait for swat. If that was his training and he had engaged the shooter he would have violated policy and been "thrown under the bus" just like he was for doing what he did.

Was lesson learned from Colombine, IIRC... there was an analysis report done and published.
That's what was taught as volunteer on church security team that was run by LEO's from several dept's in Colorado.

Sources: Coral Springs police upset at some Broward deputies for not entering school
"The resentment among Coral Springs officials toward Broward County officials about what they perceived to be a dereliction of duty may have reached a boiling point at a vigil the night of February 15, where, in front of dozens of others, Coral Springs City Manager Mike Goodrum confronted Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel. A source familiar with the conversation tells CNN that Goodrum was upset that the Broward deputies had remained outside the school while kids inside could have been bleeding out, among other reasons."
