Columbine. But you knew that.

ETA:

School cop who 'never went in' after shooting has resigned

effing coward. He had a DUTY to go in. they need to take his badge and he can go find another line of work. He violated his oath.

LE has no duty to protect.

Been messaged, ruled, and demonstrated many times. I am not being critical of LE by pointing this out. There are thousands of LEOs who would have gone in and made the ultimate sacrifice to save lives, no doubt.

This is why we own guns and why the fallacy of disarmament = safety has to be confronted.

This will, unfortunately, poke a big hole in the "only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun." argument. Of course you can try to do damage control and argue that the deputy wasn't that good of a good guy, or that he was protecting those in his immediate area, but that won't fly and the damage has been done.

Well, the argument wasn't "only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun hiding in the parking lot".

We know that, but we also know that it won't matter. There is no way to know if him taking different actions could have saved lives or not, but I personally feel comfortable assuming that he missed an opportunity to do good. This could go down in history as a real life example of evil prevailing when good men take no action.

We keep hearing that teachers don't have the necessary training or skills to take on an active shooter, but police do. Maybe not *all* the police are suited for it either.

When seconds count, that cop 30 feet away ain't comin to help you.

He stood outside for 4 minutes while this was going on. He should be charged as an accessory.

I'm honestly astonished. I thought there was a police officers oath to "Serve and Protect", much like the oath in the military.

Glad to see he resigned. He isnt cut out for the job. What a disappointment. He could have saved so many lives.
