So the school had 2 security guards. One armed and one unarmed. The armed guard stood outside listening to the kids he was supposed to be protecting getting shot down. The unarmed guard was shot and killed while using his body to shield other kids. The armed guard is a disgrace.

Somalis in Minnesota----Somali councilman at podium----unite to defend Somali policeman who
killed girl. "He was an American"......but when the African joined the police dept--he was hailed as a
Somali. They cant have it both ways.

Nice how they assimilate, isnt it?

Somali Police Association in Minnesota---getting dental work, I hope.
One of their Somalis colleagues killed a girl without provocation.

They come to the great melting pot of America then proceed to set themselves apart.

Somalis are first on Obama's list to make America "less white."
He allowed these Sub-Saharan Africans to pour into our country.

REFERENCE----Illegal Aliens Quietly Being Relocated Throughout U.S. on Commercial Flights
Judicial Watch ^ | JANUARY 19, 2018
FR Posted on 1/20/2018, 9:50:01 AM by UMCRevMom@aol.com

Immigrants entering the United States illegally through the southern border are quietly being relocated to different parts of the country on commercial flights, high-ranking Homeland Security officials told Judicial Watch this week.

In the last few days alone, groups of illegal aliens boarded planes at airports in Texas and Arizona accompanied by a taxpayer-funded government escort in civilian clothes to avoid drawing attention.

The first flight originated at Valley International Airport in Harlingen, Texas and was bound for Minneapolis. The second left from Tucson International Airport and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, federal sources said. In both locations the illegal aliens appeared to be in their late teens and were escorted by a Health and Human Services (HHS) chaperone. Judicial Watch reached out to HHS for comment but did not hear back from the agency.--SNIP---more at FR web site

Cops are very adept at shooting unarmed people, maybe that waas the issue here.

Armed, combat-proven veterans should be used as security officers.

I was thinking that same thing. I guess he’ll have a lot of time to figure that out, regardless, his name will forever be linked to cowardice, not institutionalized dysfunction.

His name is 'The Coward Scott Peterson *spit*'.

Look how long it took the entire police for to finally go into Columbine. He was alone without back up. Did he call it in and was told to wait for back up? If he had drawn his gun parents would have sued for scaring their kids. Perhaps he is a coward. I’d like to hear his story. Could be this is the Sheriff covering his own backside for not doing anything about Cruz years ago.

The sheriff is to blame on many many fronts.

Or afraid of lawsuits?

As a sworn officer, isn't he shielded from lawsuits for what he does under color of authority?

If not, every surviving family member should individually sue him.

The courts may, or may not, say that this "man" who was hired explicitly to protect had no "duty to protect".

In which case, one could argue that every penny he took from Broward county was fraudulently obtained...

Meanwhile, ironically he has police protection guarding him and his family. Will THEY take a bullet for him?

Hard to say, he was theoretically one of Them.

Most of them would lie under oath, or misplace evidence to protect a brother cop, no matter how dirty.

It's time that changed, doncha think?

They need to add another diamond at the end; engage and kill perpetrator during rampage.

I’m probably going to get flamed for this, but making a frontal assault, alone, against an unknown shooter or shooters, with no backup sounds like a good way to get deaded. I don’t know that I’d have done it either.

IIRC isn’t there a Supreme Court case that says the police have no duty to protect?

See Warren v. DC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia

The trial judges held that the police were under no specific legal duty to provide protection to the individual plaintiffs and dismissed the complaints. In a 2-1 decision, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals determined that Warren, Taliaferro, and Nichol were owed a special duty of care by the police department and reversed the trial court rulings. In a unanimous decision, the court also held that Douglas failed to fit within the class of persons to whom a special duty was owed and affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of her complaint. The case was reheard by an en banc panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, and the defendant (District of Columbia) prevailed.
