Me too. He should have been fired with no benefits and no retirement. If anything all of his benefits and retirement $$ should go the the families of the children who were killed.How the hell does one guy set up a perimeter of a large high school?
What chaps my ass is this coward was allowed to retire.
I wouldn't doubt that civil lawsuits may follow.Me too. He should have been fired with no benefits and no retirement. If anything all of his benefits and retirement $$ should go the the families of the children who were killed.
I've posted in one of the other threads that pre-Columbine, it was the thinking that the first arriving units would establish a perimeter and await SWAT. THAT THINKING AND TRAINING STOPPED POST-COLUMBINE. Since that time, the training is for an "Active Shooter" is for the first unit(s) that arrive (or are already on-scene--PETERSON) to establish a hasty team and move in to locate, approach, and engage the active shooter to STOP THE KILLING. It is now unacceptable to await on the perimeter when there is killing underway. If the situation changes such that it is a "Barricaded Subject"/"Hostage Taker" situation, then it is appropriate to establish the perimeter and await SWAT/Hostage Negotiator/other resources.Defin
Define "Old". My training was simple, Take charge of the situation, period. Handle it, it's a bad deal to have to call a supervisor. If a Lt has to be called it better be the end of the world. It was handle it at the lowest level possible, not kick it upstairs. Of course that was several decades ago. Now the training seems to be establish perimeter and await SWAT. I'm basing that on what I have seen in the news about how things are handled. I see a lot of 8+ hr standoffs where the house is empty, HUH. They may have different orders in an "active shooter" situation. Don't know but I would hope so.
What did The Broward School Districts decisionThis 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.

Potentially, it created an atmosphere and mindset of "You don't engage with students. You're just window dressing." Even if the conditioning was subtle, I believe it was likely that that mindset influenced his choices at that critical moment. He certainly acted like window dressing.What did Broward County School Districts decision about not arresting students, for Federal money, have to do with this incident response?

In that you are right......think with me on this one.............Those kids in that school were depending on him and the other 3 deputy's that would not go in and engage for any number of lame ass excuses. And they are now dead or seriously wounded. Their family's have lost so much as to lack description.While I agree what he allegedly did is cowardly, the news media has no right to bombard his residence. Remember a person in this country is "innocent until proven guilty"; or are we throwing away the Constitution and Bill of Rights like the opposition? His wife and kids did nothing to deserve this.

Sheriff Israel said that he instructed BSO deputies to issue juvenile civil citations, not arrests;
The BCSD’s own written policy encouraged handling even criminal activity ‘outside the criminal justice system’;

Seems that's how Peterson viewed it.So basically, if he's not supposed to engage criminal activity, then an armed cop at a school is nothing more than political window-dressing.

So to post false sign that reads "our teachers are armed, etc" would do just as good a job & wouldn't need a trailer house to live in.So basically, if he's not supposed to engage criminal activity, then an armed cop at a school is nothing more than political window-dressing.

Kind of like security decals on the home windows when they don't have a system...
Oh, I agree.Except those actually do some good.
Who said anything about false signs? If the teachers and staff are armed the sign means what it says.So to post false sign that reads "our teachers are armed, etc" would do just as good a job & wouldn't need a trailer house to live in.
