Peterson; “These colleagues work hard. We are crime prevention, an audit report will never show how much we prevent,” he said in response to a county official who cited an audit that discredited the program’s value, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Btw, there might be video of Peterson saying this.
I would imagine, working as cop at the local high school as a SRO was seen as a "Cush" position.
I agree 100% there.
If he had a weapon on him, I think he should have been using it. Even if the policy he worked under said that he could “only use the weapon if he himself was being directly threatened” I believe he should have used it, and was wrong in not doing so.
FWIW, I do think the guy was a coward for not going in, but I also think it is not my place to say so, since I have never been in that situation and was not there.
As I said in other posts, I hope I could not have “set a perimeter” while listening to screams and gunshots and refused to go in. But that is me. If others call him a coward, that is, in the face of existing evidence,their right to do so.
