+1 LEOs should be brave, but at the end of the day, going after that gunman would have been a suicidal mission.  If four men had rushed him, maybe 3 would have been shot dead.  Doesn’t mean that’s not their job, but we should have some empathy for the fact that these school officers are not Secret Service officers.  [b]Some may not have signed up with the idea that they need to throw their body in front of a crazed teen with 2 automatic weapons with 200 bullets.  That’s a big ask. [/b] [/quote]

It’s not what teachers signed up for either but here we are.

I agree.  But most teachers got to stay home during CoViD due to a known risk of a pandemic.  There have been many cases of educators dying shielding their students from bullets with their bodies.  But we’re asking LEOs to run towards gunfire.  And not all of them are trained and willing to do that.  I can’t imagine a school based cop is particularly well trained in these areas.  [/quote]
