So much for relying on the cops (between this and the lynch mob Commie News Net called a town hall, what was supposed to be a quick, easy brainwash is turning into a real downer) to stop something like this.
Now let's try arming selected teachers, huh?
Brave officer Scott bravely ran away. He should not be allowed to resign.
I never let the people under my protection die, and I still won't get a pension. Maybe we are rewarding the wrong things and the wrong people. Unions,Yea!
I clicked on the link and read that piece by sundance. That's a very, very serious accusation he, she or it is making.
Cops do not have a duty to protect citizens. Especially lazy police "resource" officers.
In cases such as DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989) and Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005), the Supreme Court has declined to put police and other public authorities under any general duty to protect individuals from crime. The decisions have been broadly unpopular, but Mike McDaniel at PJ Media takes the Court’s side on policy grounds: “This [lack of a particularized duty] might seem absolutely outrageous, but it is logical, rational, and unquestionably necessary.”

Yet the court would also say that we have a duty to pay for what we did not get , and pay, and pay. Yes, logical, rational, and highly unjust.
It's a tax not a penalty!
The "no duty to protect" doctrine is all the more reason to arm teachers. They can't hide in the bushes outside when a shooted comes calling.
Maybe. But I'm not buying the story of a cowardly policeman until I see more evidence than just the statement by Sheriff Israel. This guy has been pointing fingers at everyone except himself since the shooting and his hint that the video may never be released is a warning sign.
Show me the video, show me a timeline that will give some idea of how the Deputy's actions relate to the event, show me the communications between the Deputy and his superiors, show me the policy the Deputy was following, and show me something that will prove that Israel is not just fingering another scapegoat. If any or all of that backs up Israel's condemnation then I'll join in.
At this point I think that abject cowardice on the part of the Deputy is far down the list of possible reasons for his inaction. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to come up with others.
Good points, Rabel.
I don't know the extent of his culpability, but it's fair to say that he didn't have the best possible response. He may have acted in a weak or indecisive way. Mortal danger doesn't always bring out the best in people, or, as Rabel says, there might be some exculpatory explanation that we don't know. Either way, he's going to spend an eternity mulling over his response during those six minutes of murder. I have some sympathy for him, although, to be sure, his is not the saddest story of that day.
