Absolutely despicable. You had one real job to do and you failed miserably. Ever since Columbine LE has been trained to enter the building immediately upon arrival. No staging, no waiting for back up. Just make entry immediately, locate the offender and neutralize with extreme prejudice. And this guy was the school resource officer. He had to have known that! Now he gets to live with the blood of all those victims on his hands because he failed to do his duty when it counted the most. I would spit in his face if I ever saw him. And I say that as someone who was on the front lines in Corrections. I ran to many man down calls and officer needs help calls. I never shirked my duty and I never had to answer to my fellow officers or higher ups about not doing my duty. And when the call went out in my Air National Guard unit for volunteers for Afghanistan, I raised my hand and I did my time there. And unlike most people who were there, my time included going outside the wire. So I know what it’s like to be on the front lines, knowing there are people counting on me, just as I’m counting on them. And so reading this story just sickens me. Absolutely sickens me.
The cop who came to my employer for active shooter "training" said the same thing. We are defenseless of course (I stay for the money). The cop said when he and the partner get there, they go in and find the bad guy. His traning for us was basically to not be mistaken for the bad guy.
