Florida School Shooting Thread

You need meat eaters not grazers as SRO's. JMHO. We trained with the locals on active shooters scenarios twice a month. There was was no plan A or B in these situations it was fuck it we'll do it live! Go to the where the gunfire is.

 

Yeah, I was really surprised to hear that they waited at Parkland. After the cops waited outside to stage and secure the perimeter and wait for swat while kids were getting killed in Columbine, it became SOP for everyone responding to get inside and get shit done immediately.

 

With or without back up, there's no way in hell I could stand outside while that shit was happening inside.

 

Those people probably should not be police officers responsible for the safety of children at a school.

 

I think that is true of 99% of cops, sadly that day had a 1%er arrive

 

The majority of the SRO's I have met have been marginal performers on the regular force.

They dont really hire Delta Force to watch your kids.

 

Let’s say you are in your childs’ classes, and you follow the law: you left your piece in your car... You are in a parent - teacher situation and BAM! the door crashes in and someome is shooting from somewhere.

What do you do?

 

I carry a fat sap when I am on school grounds. I asked local Leo’s and they’re ok with it. I carry for the same scenario you just described. It’s not much but better than nothing.

 

If I follow the law, I can have a firearm on me.

 

Advance. Armed or not, the answer is always advance. Shove the kids under their desks and run towards the shooter. Grab chairs, books, whatever along the way and hurl them towards him. The natural response when someone (even an armed someone) is being advanced upon is to retreat. You'll probably get shot/killed, but that was going to happen anyway. At least if you're attacking you might have a chance to take him out.

 

I know the initial reaction from many would be to retreat to your car to get your firearm then possibly go back inside to confront the shooter. Problem is, if police enter and see you armed that could lead to a friendly fire situation. As a parent i know it'd be almost impossible to keep me out from potentially going in to protect kids but I'd likely call 911 before entering to advise them what I'm wearing to HOPEFULLY cut down the odds of getting shot.
