There's also something going on with two other SROs. Not certain what.

But the Peterson POS. How do you sleep at night after that? As President Trump said, most of the shooting is done with three minutes. (I think he said three minutes.) So this guy stays outside for four minutes!

And we expect teachers to go after kilers wth guns when this POS didn't?! He had one job! ONE JOB! Protect the kids and staff!

But teachers will have extensive training in firearms and active shooter situations unlike this law enforcement officer.

No, but they have more firearms and active shooter training than teachers do.

So you think the guy would have reacted different to a shotgun blast?

Heard it on ABC Radio and was tweeted out by a friend who works in TV down there. I'm looking for a link
here's the video of the Sheriff talking about it: https://twitter.com/browardsheriff/s...98213108953088

A sheriff was cowardly, therefore ban guns? I don't get it.

How do you know he had no training? The kids had trained. You telling me they train the kids for active shooter situation, but not the cops? I don't think so.

Arming teachers is a dumb idea, and good luck forcing teachers to be security guards. This idea is right up there with building a Trump casino in Atlantic City using junk bonds.
