I'm guessing the policy was "when faced with risking your life to protect the lives of innocent children, cower".
Broward's Cowards live to cower another day.

I just read through the first incident timeline and us and corrected.
The resource officer did not t say anything public ally but did pretty much own up to his inaction by quitting.

Policy is probably set up a perimeter and wait for back up or whatever. Not right, but it happens.

No department policy is to set up a perimeter while you listen to active gunfire inside a school building... I can promise you that is not taught. If it is, whoever is responsible needs to be held accountable.

An officer, male or female, has already asked themselves and played the what if game in their head if they would enter into an active shooter situation and save lives or if they would stand on the side lines. Officers know their personal answer, and in my opinion any officer who knows they wouldnt enter the building to stop the killing needs to go find another career, because this one isnt for them. Thats the true reality!

I would have to agree with this statement.

They may well be chicken hearted cowards and deserve all hatred that can be heaped upon them.
Has any of the stand-around-with-their-guns-drawn-and-thumbs-up-their-butts said anything about their actions?
To me their story wouldnt matter worth a chit. They are cops, they have guns, theyre suppose to enforce the law, they heard shots, get your azz in there and kill the punk azz thats doing the shooting, end of story.

Apparently not, because the sheriff said very clearly why he was suspended and still under investigation for not going in, even though he resigned.

I dont know about that and I hate that we even have to consider that. However, Sheriff Israel, who I dont trust at all based on what he has said since the townhall on CNN, did say this back in October:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/27524/she...n-ryan-saavedra

In October 2017, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said in response to the Las Vegas shooting that there is nothing that can be done to stop gunman who are "killing people" and committing "great carnage."



So maybe this was some kind of department policy or at least since the Sheriff had spoken of it publicly the deputies thought they would follow their leader's suggestion.

Still morally unconscionable that anyone would be so timid or cowardly.


Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

I'll tell you guys my Coral Springs cop story. Lived about 2 miles from the school, late 80's, worked in Ft. Lauderdale. Was at a club called Christopher's in Ft.Lauderdale one night, I'm sitting at the bar, only know the beautiful bar tender. Drunk comes up and orders a drink standing next to me. I leave my smokes and a lighter on top of it, on the bar, as I go to the men's room. Come back, lighter is gone. I knew he took it but I asked around the bar and sure enough a lady tells me the guy picked it up as soon as I'd left. I walked out on the dance floor where he was dancing with his date and told him I wanted my lighter back. He screams, " I could drop you right now!" Bartender had bouncers there quick, escorted him out of club, found out he was a Coral Springs cop. I didn't get my lighter back. I did report him the next day. Nothing came of it.

Broward county has always had a reputation of having cops with the worst attitude. Miami/Dade cops have a reputation of being nice but more on the take. roflmao

I'll wait to hear more of the story before judging anyone's actions or lack of.
