“Why did he refuse to go inside if this is true?”
Because there was a nutcase inside with a rifle killing people.
Cop wanted to go home that night.
Hence the importance of arming _teachers_: give the people who will be targets the option to fight back. You can’t assume people, even armed, will rush into harm’s way - you have to arm those who will need to get _out_ of harm’s way.

I was talking with a couple of VA (Vet’s Admin) police about the VA’s complete ban on self-defense. Told them I was still waiting for an explanation of how disarming me makes *me* safer.
One of them was being obnoxious about it, so I asked him, “Are *you* going to take a bullet for *me*?” Can’t remember getting a look of such pure hatred.
I’m betting he’s not taking a bullet for anybody. Probably a Xlinton voter.
Good point .....
