Will do sir, myself and a group of guy that are regulars on here and a rod manufacturer gonna send him a little token of our appreciation

Hers some facts, the officer that took this clown out was a BP special agent, I know him but will not share his name on here. He was grazed in the head by a bullet shot through the wall and took one in the foot as well. He was off duty and showed up to assist and decided to go in and take the POS out. Had dinner with him a few weeks ago night before a tournament and he fishes bass champs south and is a hammer. He’s a class act man and is a true hero end of story.

As an LEO myself… I would be pissed if my child was in a school and LEO first on scene did not enter. If I was there and LEO was preventing me from entering, knowing rounds have been fired, then they would have had to shoot me in the back to stop me. We train to immediately take action and to neutralize the threat and stop the killing. I know my decision has already been made and going in alone is not an issue. The only gray area is an officer is not mandated to enter alone… can wait for back up. Majority of us now days carry a rifle and have rifle ballistic plates with us and helmets. Zero doubt what my personal actions would be, but not everyone becomes a cop for the right reasons. Some like the idea of it, some use it as a stepping stone, some just want a job, and others do it to protect one’s who can’t protect themselves. 19 innocent kids…. I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I didn’t do everything in my power to save as many as I possibly could. That day pure evil showed it’s face and we have to do better to protect our children. Nonsense about it cost too much to do this or that is complete [censored]. We send hundreds of billions of dollars to other countries yearly… when we need to be fixing this country first. When I think about the fear those kids and teachers had in that classroom… it highly pisses me off because we know history tells us this will happen again… we just don’t know where or when. I went to my sons school yesterday and walked in like I owned the place. Zero excuses for this. Technology and the ability to secure a school, the classrooms, and so on is there and needs to be used in order to prevent something like this from ever happening again. Money can’t be reason for failure.

Surely we can all agree on that.

I would bet a good number of people would pizz themselves if they got shot at.

this regardless of anything else you are armed and have a chance, those kids have no chance if you do nothing.

When I found out the parents were being held back by the LEO on scene who weren’t actively making entry to put this pos down it brought tears to my eyes it pissed me off so much. Many of us have kids and when these tragic and evil events are happening, there is no time to wait. Time equals more body bags. As first responders there is no time to wait for a SWAT Team to show up… you are the team or solo first responder tasked with saving as many innocent people as possible. The sound of gunfire from a gunman in a school means kids/adults are dying. You enter that school no matter what and by any means you have. It don’t matter if you have to drive your Tahoe through the damn doors… this is how we are trained and if you’re an officer and don’t have that mindset then maybe this isn’t the profession for you… it’s not a job, but a calling. Have to have a passion for servant leadership! Life experience both good and bad so you have the ability to make discretionary choices and most of all common sense.
