Yes I did, and you still dont get it. You still think getting the police more involved is the way to go. This is but a temporary messure, and does not need to involve the public to train for it.

Why do so many people think its ok for our rights to slip because there are other countries with less rights?
If you dont like freedom why dont you go move to China, and leave the home of the free, to the BRAVE.

I serve my country everyday when I light up the red lights my friend. I didnt do it as an air traffic controller if you want to get snotty. I do it by putting MY ass on the line, every day!

The Sheriff was quoted in the paper saying this was supposed to be a drill on how a school is evacuated during certain situations and was not solely training for the police but also so the students and staff had an opportunity to see what exactly would be expected of them in certain situations.

incidently, every sailor is a fireman first and foremost, just as every marine is a rifleman first and foremost, and i've fought one. even controllers end up TAD to crash/fire/rescue when theyre shorthanded. seems like a real fireman would have known that.

When the adreniline is pumping you and I both know its pure training that gets us through. The other portion that makes the scene not fall apart are the Capt., chiefs, and leit. that are detached from the assault (whether structure fire my side of the fence, or a hostage situation the police side) and doesnt have the mind killing adreneline pumping.
Those citizens will panic no matter what. I dont think it is the police itself that is the problem, it is what is being handed down to them in a steaming pile of you no what, that they have to respond too. The special assault cop didnt decide to raid that school. The ones that did make that desicion though, I think have an agenda.

I just dont see what some others are saying is a conspiracy to strip away peoples rights and to create a military state. We all (me, you, the police, the government, etc) want our kids to be safe ... unfortunately dangerous events at schools is part of a real threat ... each school and parent needs to decide what is the correct for their local community.
