Lets also talk about the governments unwillingness/inability to enforce laws that are already on the books. We have many good laws on the books already that would prevent these types of tragedies. California especially is lax on enforcement.

Lets look at the city of San Francisco as shining example. They are staunch anti-gun and gun ban proponents. They are so proud of their position the city has passed several bans in the past (that have lost in court) and constantly lobby the state for more laws.

Well the city freely admits that it does not enforce certain gun laws. The sheriff has said they don't devote resources to enforcing gun laws. They announced recently they have not sought felons/parolees that might be in possession of a firearm.

They always cry poverty which is ironic since their property tax base is enormous but they spend freely on other left wing causes.

So we have to hear the left in one sentence telling us guns are bad but in another sentence how they are unwilling to enforce laws that would help reduce violent crime.

The result of hiring unqualified people that cannot deal with these life and death situations. Poor guy was likely scare shitless. Not his fault as there are only so many sheepdogs per capita. They have to try and hide them somewhere and school duty "was" considered that kind of assignment. From this point forward, we need "warriors" placed in charge of securing our youth.

now this? WTF

http://fox6now.com/2018/02/22/security-footage-from-school-massacre-scene-was-on-26-minute-delay/
Security footage from school massacre scene was on 26-minute delay
Surveillance footage from the Florida high school where 17 people were gunned down was not shown live, as responding officers initially thought.

It was on a 26-minute delay — leading police to brace for a shootout when the gunman was actually long gone, Coral Springs police Capt. Brad McKeone said.

“Nobody told us,” Coral Springs police Chief Tony Pustizzi told the Sun Sentinel, which first reported the tape delay.

But McKeone, one of the responding officers, said the delay did not hinder the police response to the victims.

 

[MSum661]

Why in the World would the school surveillance system be set on a 26 minute delay?
And who there would do that?

As a Cop, I am completely disgraced by this POS who put on a badge. Grab your M4, say a prayer, and bring the rain to the shooter.

So I guess having an armed deputy on the school grounds is not a solution either?

The armed Deputy/Cop can't be a coward. Hopefully all the schools across the nation are doing gut check with their school officers for that exact reason.

Sheepdog. Warrior. "Dalton".......Deputy is distinguished and position in LE, being capable of being any of the 3. Sadly and tragically the FL school fella, was none and worse.

Let's start the whole new plan with hiring capable people. US firms handle security all over the planet for all sorts of folks. Yet we allow local governments and up, to not by now afford that same security for our most precious beings in our lives........Fuck worrying about gun control and spotting psycho cowards, hire PROS who will do both and send the loons to rot in hell!!!!!

 

[HST4ME]

The Country just implemented a very large tax cut, and a change in the tax code that would force local municipalities to cut the amount of spending as those local taxes are no longer deductible.

To now call for an increase in law enforcement on campuses, seems economically inconsistent with the supported policy of cutting taxes and promoting large reductions in spending at the local level.

Really?

I'm not all that surprised that an SRO failed to react. My opinion is that he probably lost his "edge" by having such a cushy position as an SRO. Most of the "action" that he has had in the last few years has probably been dress code violations, a handful of fights, and a handful of joints.

Also, in my experience, SRO's have a glock 26 and maybe a spare mag. None of the SRO's in my school (this was 6 years ago) had rifles, even in their squad car.

 

[ArizonaKevin]

It also seems like this officer has been thrown under the bus, almost seems like the sheriff and the FBI are trying to deflect blame to this one guy rather than take responsibility for how badly they dropped the ball.

 

[TeamGreene]

We are 19yrs post Columbine! Think about that for a second. In 19yrs there hasn't been an effort to harden our schools to keep the lunatics out and our kids safe.
Entrances need to be locked and the open ones guarded. Nobody should be able to just walk in without contact.
The Dept. of Education should have had a plan/guidelines in summer of 09' for the states to implement.

Why isn't there a K9 officer or two at a school? I haven't heard anyone bring that up as a partial solution. I think a dog could neutralize an active shooter faster than just having security guards there. Maybe some of the LEO on here can chime in.

Funding. Every talking head is going to say well it's expensive. Well no shit it is but what are your kids lives worth? And the peace of mind that goes along with the fact that there is a well defined barrier between your most precious asset and the crazy assholes that wish to do them harm.

There's a lyric from a Zac Brown Band song Chicken Fried -
"It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most- Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes - There's no dollar sign on a peace of mind this I've come to know" Just my .02

I agree with you TG. Interesting, last night local news here in Sacramento, school officials talking about updating the locking devices to a (fob) type on all classroom doors. They threw out a # of $200,000 to update/convert the locks but....the funding could be an obstacle.

Here in wonderful Ca. we have the state lottery that was "orginally" set up to help fund schools. In addition, Ca. is funding a $64 billion bullett train, sanctuary state, etc.

Not trying to turn your post into a Ca. rant but how hard is it to protect our kids. The absolute stupidity of what is prioritized & where our tax payer $ is spent, mind numbing.

I agree completely that train funding is an absolute travesty. Protecting our kids/schools isn't a matter of can they, it's a matter of will they do the right thing.

 

[4Waters]

Why?

Fifty years ago when per capita gun ownership was higher and kids carried guns in their vehicles to school frequently we didn't have this problem.


What's changed? I know, but you'll never admit it.

What changed? Before I write my post I just want to say that this isn't right or the solution but is what it was 50+ years ago.
My dad said that when he was in school (He is 71yrs old) there was no kids that acted out of control on a daily bases, the few in the early years of elementary school disappeared never to be seen again. They were institutionalized as that is the only way they knew how to deal with them. Now seeing one of his grandkids with autism he knows that is what those (at least most) kids suffered from. The FL shooter is on the autism spectrum as well as the kid at Sandy Hook as well as a kid that shot up the movie theater in Colorado. Again I don't think we should lock them up but they need to be kept from guns, this is a mental health issue and the government is FAILING the VICTIMS and the SHOOTER.

Please don't attack me I'm just stating how autism was dealt with before they knew what it was.

 

[probablecause]

Why isn't there a K9 officer or two at a school?

$$$$$ For every K9 Officer, you are going to actually have to have 2 or 3. The main K9 won't always be available because of vacation, time off, court, sick, training etc. so you will have to have a backup. However, school is pretty much open from 7 AM to 5 PM (after school sports and stuff). Thus, you would have to have a k9 officer work a 12 hour day which would ultimately be a 3 day work week. That would necessitate the 3rd k9 Officer into the fiscal equation.

First, where the hell did you go to school? Ever since the North Hollywood B of A bank robery, every department i know of carries an AR and a 12 gauge in the car or on their bike. Also, doesnt matter gun the officer has, returning fire to an untrained shooter will COMPLETELY derail thier plans. I do not know youre story, but if you ask anybody that has ever been in a firefight, being shot at changes everything (thankfully i have never been in that situation but i have been told that by many others who have been).

Bombshell Report: Broward County Schools and Police Colluded to Shield Criminal Students


Clues about how Nikolas Cruz slipped through cracks are emerging


Dan Lyman | Infowars.com - February 23, 2018

Bombshell claims alleging collusion between Broward County law enforcement and the Broward school district to protect criminal students from arrests and disciplinary action have been leveled by a journalist familiar with the protocols in practice.

According to information currently available, Parkland mass shooter Nikolas Cruz was visited by local law enforcement 39 times over the course of seven years and was also reported to the FBI at least twice, leaving many to wonder how he slipped through the cracks, evaded arrest, continued attending school, and legally purchased firearms that he would later use to kill 17 of his former classmates and teachers.

Some clues may have emerged from a report chronicled by the editors of the Conservative Treehouse (CTH), an independent blog, who have provided corroborating documentation that paint a very convincing picture for the circumstances that may have enabled Cruz to slip through the cracks.

Broward County Sheriff’s Office Did Not “Miss Warning Signs” or Make “Mistakes”… https://t.co/MhOgW86TCe pic.twitter.com/L00J4f2Gxh

“I spent about 18 months in 2012, 2013 and 2014 investigating Broward and Miami-Dade school policies and how those policies transfer to law enforcement practices,” CTH explains. “What I stumbled upon was a Broward County law enforcement system in a state of conflict. The Broward County School Board and District Superintendent, entered into a political agreement with Broward County Law enforcement officials to stop arresting students for crimes.”

“The motive was simple. The school system administrators wanted to ‘improve their statistics’ and gain state and federal grant money for improvements therein.”

The 2013 “Collaborative Agreement On School Discipline” between the School Board of Broward County and the Sheriff of Broward Country, as well as the Fort Lauderdale Branch of the NAACP and a variety of other state and local legal bodies, can be found HERE.

In short, the agreement established new standards and practices by which law enforcement would seek alternatives to arresting students who had committed crimes or “minor disturbances,” with a specific focus on “students of color, students with disabilities and LGBTQ students,” who were “disproportionately impacted by school-based arrests for the same behavior as their peers.”

CTH asserts that the types of lawbreaking being swept under the rug quickly escalated from minor offenses to serious felonies.

“The need to continue lowering the arrests year-over-year meant that increasingly more severe unlawful behavior had to be ignored. Over time even the most severe of unlawful conduct was being filtered by responding police,” CTH writes. “We found out about it, when six cops blew the whistle on severe criminal conduct they were being instructed to hide.”

Media reports corroborate the external results of the new policies implemented in Broward, and school district superintendent Robert Runcie, who had been brought in from the Chicago public school system to mitigate the massive issues in Broward, was hailed as a hero as suspensions magically dropped by 40% percent and arrests by 66% in just two years.

WTF not only did the officer that was stationed at the school stay outside the next 3 Broward officers didn't enter the building they took up postions behind there cars. it wasn't until other officers from a different department showed up and they went into the school building

Ironically the officers name is Scott Peterson, does this name sound familiar? They must all be cowards...

 

[spectras only]

Colton Haab, the heroic ROTC student who shielded students during the shooting, appeared on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" with host Tucker Carlson where he alleged that CNN producer Carrie Stevenson, who is the executive producer for Jake Tapper's "State of the Union" television show, was the person who censored him.
Jake Tapper should apologize and Carrie Stevenson should resign, but we know that, it won't happen

This is some bullshit. 4 cops all sitting together having a tea party. How many lives could they have saved? There is a reason why first responders are often praised. Not in this case... Complete and utter incompetence from the chief down they all deserve to be fired.

I'm getting really tired of people saying that in our modern society we don't need guns for our own protection. We have the police for that. Bullshit. Lot of good it did the kids at this school. It took Vegas PD an hour to get to Paddock? Cruz kills 17 people and walks off the campus while the police figure out what to do? I need to apply for my damn CCW.

It’s sickening. The BSO swamp is slowly coming out, even though Scot Israel took credit for the whole response. I can’t fathom how you don’t go in...if I’m out in public and I hear that at a theater or mall, I’m going in with my concealed carry, that’s why I have it! Hell, if you go in and put up a fight and get shot, you’re an American hero. These guys were pussies.

They literally just shattered any reasonable gun control argument ever made.

The left wants us to call 911 and let the cops handle it.

Cops were there and waited for this guy to run out of bullets or kids to shoot before being led in by another department.

 

[Go-Fly]

My wife worked for the school districts in Oregon for 38 years, fixing problems from bad decisions. Most of it had to do with money being number one, with violations of laws (both Fed & State) being number two. Her take on the security guard was the results of what she calls "party training". If you could check, you would find that the board gave him service awards to hang on the wall of his office. They talked about the great care he took dealing with the kids and his fine work on advisory teams for policy. Hours were spent at seminars talking about what a great job they were doing. Followed by dinner parties, open bars, 5 star hotels and resorts. When the time comes to do something, they stand there with their thumb up their ass while admiring the problem. What is sad is why people think this school shooting would have any different outcome then any other. Some people were hero's and some gave there lives. The rest should be fired and never work in a school again.

Here’s the full transcript from the FBI tipster. Really couldn’t have been more clear that this kid was a problem...

Ummm NO. The Deputy did the right thing in resigning. Read yesterday that he had 30 years on and the last 8 at the school. I know many of the type, and I'd say the majority have no business being in the field. He FUCKED UP. Plain and simple. I heard he coordinated units as there were arriving. BIG FUCKING DEAL... I can do that sliding corners lights and sirens while working the car computer and yelling at my trainee to get ready. I also heard one of his reasons for not entering was he was outgunned. Again, BIG FUCKING DEAL. I'll roll with my 9 against a rifle in close quarters if I have to, that is the job. It's tragic that those kids died. For all we know that cop would have been taken out by the shooter had he gone in. But he didn't, and for that he is a failure. Sad deal all around.

Yes... That is the point. My guess is he was very personable, problaby got along great with the kids and was easy to talk to. Well guess what, sometimes you need the guys that don't give a shit about emotional connections to be on the front line. There is a reason why many aggressive cops aren't the life of the party all the time. Same could be said for front line military guys... and I don't mean a scale of how many beers you can drink. lol. I mean many of the cops I know tend to stay out of the crowd and observe. There is a reason. Unfortunately the rest of the cops still left out there now have to deal with the reprecussions of this guys failure. Part of the job, but just anther tack on the board against us.

 

[WhatExit?]

Coral Springs cops who responded to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School say several Broward sheriff’s deputies waited outside rather than rush in as the killer was gunning down students, according to reports. The allegations emerged a day after veteran Broward deputy Scot Peterson resigned under fire for failing to enter the school during the Valentine’s Day shooting. President Trump on Friday said Peterson, who was assigned to guard the school, “did a poor job.” The Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that according to police sources at least three Broward deputies, including Peterson, waited outside. The Broward Sheriff’s Office said Friday it is investigating the Coral Springs officer's claims.

and then there's this...

As more information comes out about the Parkland school shooting, it appears law enforcement had more than enough information to believe the eventual shooter was a real threat who needed to be stopped before he acted. Now, the warnings an anonymous tipster left the FBI last month have been released.

What do they show?
According to the New York Times, which obtained a transcript between the tipster and an FBI employee, the anonymous woman warned the eventual shooter was “going to explode.” The tip came in on Jan. 5. Less than six weeks later — just 40 days — the woman would be proved correct. From the Times:

Over the course of the January call, which lasted more than 13 minutes, the tipster warned the F.B.I. that Mr. Cruz had been adrift since his mother’s death in November. She said that Mr. Cruz had “the mental capacity of a 12 to a 14 year old.” The tipster provided four Instagram accounts for Mr. Cruz, which she said showed photos of sliced up animals and the firearms he had amassed. The caller, whose name was redacted on the transcript, said Mr. Cruz had used money from a life insurance policy after his mother’s death to purchase the weapons.

In addition to warning the FBI about multiple “flags,” the anonymous tipster said the shooter had a growing fascination with ISIS and Arabic words, and explained that he sometimes dressed in clothing similar to what ISIS militants or “ninjas” wear.

“It’s alarming to see these pictures and to know what he’s capable of doing and…and what could happen,” the tipster said.

“I just want to, you know, get it off my chest in case something does happen and I do believe something’s going to happen, but—” the tipster explained at the end of the call.

According to the Times, the tipster first called the Broward County Sheriff’s Office worried the shooter might kill himself. But the woman never heard back and “became increasingly alarmed” after the shooter posted online that he wanted to kill people.

Numerous other concerns friends, family members, internet users and acquaintances reported to law enforcement and school officials went ignored.

Read the FBI tipster’s transcript here.

 

[HighRoller]

Claiming between 20-50 kids shot inside a high school.

Will this ever stop?

Yes. When the penalty to the shooter becomes greater than they wish to bear. And these turds have all proven to be cowards. You don't even have to shoot them. If they see a gun or feel a bullet whiz by, they run away and eat the barrel of their own weapon.

You are likely never going to stop a motivated actor through the use of passive measures. (Laws or security devices)

Arming teachers is not necessarily the answer, unless said teacher is trained and experienced to the degree that they can be trusted under fire.

The bottom line, once you remove the emotion, is that an active shooter situation can be dealt with effectively through the use of basic tactics by 3-5 people working together. A single "resource officer" is not sufficient. Employ a Vet full time, give him some surveillance capabilities, silently hire a few other "gym teachers" who are also Veterans and pay to have them trained.

What we DON'T need to do is run to the politicians and ask them to "do something". Because a Politician is always willing to "do something"...but rarely gets anything done.

Some clues may have emerged from a report chronicled by the editors of the Conservative Treehouse (CTH), an independent blog, who have provided corroborating documentation that paint a very convincing picture for the circumstances that may have enabled Cruz to slip through the cracks.

Broward County Sheriff’s Office Did Not “Miss Warning Signs” or Make “Mistakes”… https://t.co/MhOgW86TCe pic.twitter.com/L00J4f2Gxh

“I spent about 18 months in 2012, 2013 and 2014 investigating Broward and Miami-Dade school policies and how those policies transfer to law enforcement practices,” CTH explains. “What I stumbled upon was a Broward County law enforcement system in a state of conflict. The Broward County School Board and District Superintendent, entered into a political agreement with Broward County Law enforcement officials to stop arresting students for crimes.”

“The motive was simple. The school system administrators wanted to ‘improve their statistics’ and gain state and federal grant money for improvements therein.”

The 2013 “Collaborative Agreement On School Discipline” between the School Board of Broward County and the Sheriff of Broward Country, as well as the Fort Lauderdale Branch of the NAACP and a variety of other state and local legal bodies, can be found HERE.

In short, the agreement established new standards and practices by which law enforcement would seek alternatives to arresting students who had committed crimes or “minor disturbances,” with a specific focus on “students of color, students with disabilities and LGBTQ students,” who were “disproportionately impacted by school-based arrests for the same behavior as their peers.”

CTH asserts that the types of lawbreaking being swept under the rug quickly escalated from minor offenses to serious felonies.

“The need to continue lowering the arrests year-over-year meant that increasingly more severe unlawful behavior had to be ignored. Over time even the most severe of unlawful conduct was being filtered by responding police,” CTH writes. “We found out about it, when six cops blew the whistle on severe criminal conduct they were being instructed to hide.”

Media reports corroborate the external results of the new policies implemented in Broward, and school district superintendent Robert Runcie, who had been brought in from the Chicago public school system to mitigate the massive issues in Broward, was hailed as a hero as suspensions magically dropped by 40% percent and arrests by 66% in just two years.
