The best way for the police to avoid having to engage in a shootout inside the school is to stop the shooter from getting inside the school. There was only one assigned school police/security officer and he was not there until too late. They lied at first that there was a confrontation and shootout outside the school but the truth is there was no resistance. |
He was probably busy checking the other doors.

All of which is utterly pointless if they are afraid to act. Why would a single school resource officer do more than 19 police? The police aremuch better conpensated, trained and equipped. They did nothing. They had body armor, 19 people, hours of training, ballistic shields and their own AR15s. They did nothing. But somehow a lone low wage school resource officer or teacher without protection, without extensive training, and with less firepower is the magic solution? |
The bestest way to stop a shooter is to make sure he doesn’t get guns and ammo in the first place. |
This. The parents were outside the school and had weapons. That didn't stop their children from getting massacred. Why would you expect the police or the security guard to go in? The point of police forces and security in civilized countries is that they're supposed to have a monopoly on the use of force for the purpose of protecting the public. If you break that part of the compact by letting everybody have access to weapons of war, expect nothing. Or maybe that they'll give you a ticket without shooting you if you make no sudden gestures, and that's about it. Take your AR-15 and stand guard outside your kid's school and see how you do. And you can start ranting about protecting yourself from the gubmint but the reality is that every time the gubmint has come after the likes of you in the last three centuries, all you've done is peed your pants and begged for mercy, the last instance being January 6th. |
| I find it really hard to accept that neither principal nor police chief had master keys. I think they're just saying that for damage control. |
That did not work at the battle of Berlin. |
This. |
I completely agree but it still is stupid to have no ability to lock down the school. The shooter was outside for 12 minutes before he entered. The school security failed before, during, and after. |
Changing directions when appropriate is a good thing. If you cannot change directions when things change, you are a problem. |
use your brain. If the door was shot, he would have shot it open. If one single guard was there, he would use a long-range rifle to kill him. There is no way to secure a school that wouldn't look like a maximum security prision. You want to live in a world like that? |
I don't know why the police didn't just shoot the door open |
The school doesn’t control that. It can have security who at least try to stop a shooter from getting inside the school. |
No. The school doesn't control that. The government does. But it is too cowardly to stand up to the NRA and do so. |
