From one of the comments:
This is correct. We long ago abandoned the tactical team work and stacking procedures when an active shooter is running around. This has been instituted on a national level. Its not a local thang..
1.) Find shooter, 2.)Stop shooter. 3.) Eat Donut.
That is the protocol. Much discussion has been vetted about the acceptable losses of officers lives, should the first or second officer go down, and, on a national level, especially when kids are involved. These are acceptable losses. The goal is to put pressure on and keep the shooters attention on us and not the kids. If the first wave should fail…the next ones gets as crack…etc. Either way, keep the shooters attention on us and never ending pressure, no more surround and negotiate.
OMG....FIRST RESPONDER?????? He was like an ONLOOKER. This is INSANE!!!
LEOtards......To protect (our pensions) and to serve (our unions).
PS - Cops have zero legal responsibility to protect or serve anybody except themselves.
That would require cops doing something that doesn’t raise revenue for the State.
Cops are good at writing reports and putting people in body bags. That’s about it.
That’s why everyone should be armed. Everybody wins that way and the cops just get to do what they are good at, writing reports and keeping tasers charged.
Hey, Hey, Hey!
He got to go home safe to his family.

I can still remember how disgusted I was over the Columbine shootings. I think the cops were cowards. They just stayed outside for a long time while kids were being killed.
Seems like a repeat.
Good thing we’re buying them all that fancy black nomex wannabe ninjya kook gear huh...?
“Whatever it takes for me to go home a safe coward at the end of my shift...”
DISGUSTED.
they did the same at Columbine.
Their job used to be to protect and serve and that was why LEOs were so respected; they would protect US first. But now it is just CYA...

Guess they were afraid of getting shot.
Well at least the hero went home safe. Right?
Have the come up with the final story of what really happened? Oh, there still writing the script
probably heard there where no unarmed dogs to shoot and someone might shoot back.
I am loosing respect for the police every day.
Good at robbing freepers but won’t take a chance for dying kids.
Thug = coward
Unarmed dogs and especially tied up. They’re easier to shoot that way.
Same as Columbine.
Beat me to it...
At least they apparently couldn't find a family's pet dog to shoot this time. Those Pekinese have some sharp teeth!
I felt exactly that way myself. The officers, when confronted about it, were angry and defensive, saying that they didn't know how many shooters there were, and where they were. One of the shooters was spotted outside the school only 60 yards from one of the officers. While that's a difficult shot for a handgun, it takes literally only seconds to close that distance and engage the shooter.
