Seems it has already started here on this thread.Over the next year, I'm sure there will be a lot of real and bogus experts looking over the tactical decisions that were made that day.....
It's always easy to sit back in the relative comfort of your won home and to play Monday morning quarterback for Sunday's game and criticize the actions of others.I don't agree at all. Grown men are expendable compared to children, especially when you sign up to be expendable. Blindly rushing in is exactly what should be done, when a group of childrens lives are in danger and there seems to be no other option when every second is a precious child.
Now I know I'm not in a position to say I woulda done this, cause I'm not in any line of law enforcement, but I can say, when children are being executed, one by one, and seemingly the only option is to rush in, then that's EXACTLY what any grown man/men should do.
No I don't have sources. Just my opinion.
Well, there was a bunch of stuff indicating the guy was messed up, but supposedly those things have been debunked and were all taken down from social media. Who knows if it was true or false at this point. The disinformation experts have made everything swampy.What was it?

Blindly rushing in, not knowing all the variables of the situation is just utterly stupid and dangerous. This wasn't a movie or video game. There were real lives at stake.
But please share with all of us how "YOU" would have rushed in and saved the day?

And had they done so, they would have been up on federal charges. Shooting that poor minority child in the back.There's an even chance the SRO wasn't armed.
I'm still of the opinion, though, that if the cops were that close they should've stopped and shot the bastard in the back as soon as he crossed onto school property while armed and fleeing a crime scene.
If assess means 10 seconds, sure. But since Columbine active school shooter means you go in immediately without backup, with whatever tools you have.I agree. They needed to assess the situation to know what the best course of action to take. Unfortunately that takes a little time. Blindly rushing in, could have meant many more lives would have been lost.

My point was, it's easy to criticize their actions after the fact, and none of us were there. They were.Apparently it's even easier to default to the typical online response about "monday morning quarter backing" when one is missing the principle, for the sake of wanting to simply be right.
I never said how they should do it, exactly what should have been done, or anything of the sort. I'm simply disagreeing with your principle that when kids are being popped off in a room, their would be heroes, the only ones in a position to save them by the way, should go form a plan first. You know, all while every second is another bullet in another kid.
If in that situation you'd have your own self preservation prioritized over a ten year old's salvation, all power to ya, big guy. You catch'n my hail marry?
Analyzing "variables" while kids are getting shot... Hahaha DAMN.
The steel barrier door prevented them from entering. They had to wait for the principal to bring a pass key.I can only imagine what it would be like trying to breach a door with the shooter killing people inside and also shooting at you. Pure speculation on my part but a lot of classroom doors are heavy and open outwards. You'll need a pry tool instead of a ram.

Blindly rushing in without any intel as to what the shooter has, or exactly where he's barricaded, whether he has a hostage, or hostages, or where the children are located in the room seems suicidal and stupid to me.
What if blindly rushing in to save the day, you end up shooting a child? What about what orders they were given by their superiors? What if you just ended up being one of the body count?
So social media is exploding right now with insanely false narratives about the shooting. It is insane. They all complain about misinformation and they are the ones delivering it
