The armed officer on duty...The school resource officer at the high school took up a position viewing the western entrance of the building that was under attack for more than 4 minutes, but "he never went in," Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a news conference...Israel said the deputy should have "went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer."

I want to know what the guy was doing on his computer or phone when the shooting started.
We can blame gunshots for this coward not to go to their sound.
Guard had no emotional connection with the students:
That would probably be untrue, had it instead have been the kids’ own TEACHER.
Trump, as usual, is CORRECT.
Watching the entrance that was under attack, according to the article.
Tits on a bull.
5.56mm
So much for having armed guards. A few teachers with a gun would have solved the problem quickly.
So is this an attempt to downplay the “good guy with a gun will take down the bad guy with a gun” argument that is going towards arming teachers and school staff that wish to be armed? Seems oddly timed for this to come out after the President’s support for arming them. Dem Sheriff with other political aspirations in a liberal enclave only releases this information now? Smells to me.
No security guard should be allowed to carry a smart phone while working. I see that all of the time. Guards are watching TV and screwing around on Facebook.
Who here thinks we’ll ever get to see as much as ONE SECOND of the campus video, huh...?
Didn’t get any fo Oklahoma City OKBomb.
Didn’t get any for Mandalay Massacre.
We’re going to learn a lot before this is over. Unbelievable, the number of gaps this killer was able to skate through, years of them, one after another.
He was in trouble in Middle School and the causation had to be effected even before that.
Word of the day: LAWSUITS
“Guard had no emotional connection with the students:”
After the CNN spectacle last night I can understand why.
Only the old fart guards are on Facebook. The younger crew is on Instagram, of course.
I heard a reference made by one of the parents of the dead that there was a video of the hallway, as he told of his daughter fleeing, being shot nine time in the back during which her spine was severed. I haven’t seen any on-scene video like that, either.
The left has said:
“Teachers have ENOUGH on their busy plates without having to take long, exotic classes on arms tactics..!”
Fair enough, but this most recent news shows that high command of weapons use played ZERO role in this high-school massacre:
Even a teacher with command of the VERY BASICS but a Will To Intervene would have been FAR better than a Sergeant Rock who for some reason shivered in the corner, doing nothing.
The answer is clear:
ARM THE TEACHERS.
At least one of the students would have inevitably told the public about the deputy’s refusal to try to stop Cruz, and there’s probably no other way the Sheriff would have (finally) released this statement.
According to a report, he was with a female student. Doing just what, was not explained.
