Everything else being beside the point, what kind of a moron blames the NRA for a crime they had nothing to do with? It's like blaming Boeing for 9/11.

What do you expect from a county that lets teen/young adult crime slide to make the numbers look better?

Ive been throwing those officers who stayed outside under the bus, but I'm starting to suspect they were ordered by this sheriff to stand down.
Then you are the guy I want to throw this out too. I actually disagree with you alot but believe you are sincere.

Absolutely no!
If they were ordered to stand-down which is against every law enforcement protocol since Columbine, and additionally added rules of engagement for school shooters, then the CO that gave the stand-down order needs to be charged with 1st degree murder. But first responders know the protocol, and must engage, not stand-down.
The reason I know this is because I was former law enforcement, trained officers for first responder/s engagement tactics, both single officer, and in pairs. Inside engagement tactics and outside tactics.
X and I sometimes don't agree on all law enforcement issues, but I'm with him 100% on this situation, and there needs to be heads rolling and examples made here, so it never ever happens again.

Why the late admission? And I read somewhere that Petersen was questioning alot about what he was seeing and reporting it upline to his superiors.
If that is true.
Was Petersen being "Serpico'd?
Why were the 3 cops not coordinating with Petersen? I want to see video and where the cops were in relation to each other and the activity in the school

I'm not following you. How exactly does a "for profit" prison system benefit from not arresting people?
The for profit system stretches far further than just government and police, the for profit system has infested education, medical everything, people being arrested only covers the police side of the system.
yes, but a critical mass of mainstream people don't understand how bad it is. It won't change until they do. This is why I try to wake up such folks gradually in my personal and professional life, when possible. I've had a few successes. Right now half my office is ripe for waking up because we are seeing cronyism and political patronage first hand in our work. I think that because most education courses are whitewashed, and so is the media, most people won't get it until they see it first hand.
