I didn’t say anything about how they were dressed so you’re not arguing in good faith, and I also never said they should use military tactics (and instead leave that up to special units like swat), so you’re just lashing out.

I said if they can’t do it right they shouldn’t do it.

You then asked why I didn’t want them to respond.

So you tell me what they did wrong, since “if they can’t do it right they shouldn’t respond” means “they shouldn’t respond” to you.

Cole, do you think swat is perpetually on standby and close enough to respond to an active shooter call in a reasonable amount of time? It can take hours to get swat to respond to something depending on the location or if they are previously engaged.

Why did you immediately ask me why I didn’t want them to respond if I said they shouldn’t respond if they can’t do it right? Do you not think they can do it right?

Planned uses of force that have a high potential to be deadly that can be reduced by having officers with specialized training there. Think hostage situations, standoffs, etc.

my problem is that these dudes have the forethought to stage gear to respond, but the gear that they chose to stage is entirely civilian looking. Don't bother staging a plate carrier that says you're law enforcement and a simple wind breaker to throw on that again labels you as a cop. gotta wear the tactical poo poo and nothing else

Sorry "planned use of force" is some bullshit from my own use of force policy that gets stuck in my head sometimes. Basically it is something where you have time to plan and make a decision without the situation getting too much worse. Like, say a bank robbery goes wrong and the robber takes hostages. The uniform officer outside can safely stay outside without making the situation worse while he waits for supervisors, negotiators, and SWAT to respond. Obviously if he hears the hostage taker shoot then poo poo is out the window and he will probably have to run in. But otherwise, poo poo probably wont go off the rails if you wait a few minutes to get an idea of what is going on.

An active shooter situation is already hosed and doesn't give you the time to wait for the big boys with special training to show up. If you do, you become that piece of poo poo deputy from the Stoneman Douglas school shooting who "secured the scene" instead of trying to stop someone from murdering kids. That's the dilemma. Not every cop is- or should be- a bad rear end gunfighter capable of handling the things a swat team should. The downside to that is when the all too frequent mass shootings America is plagued with happen, the closest cop is probably going to be your average report writer.

So when someone says "if you cant do it right dont do it", well, the deputy who stood outside and listened to 17 children die at Stoneman Douglas made the decision not to do anything, and I think that was the wrong one.

Feels like most cops I know think they're John McLane in that situation, until they end up being Sgt Powell and shooting a kid.

I obviously don't think the cops should have shaved and went out and got proper gear during the shooting, my problem is with the actions that were taken BEFORE the shooting. They deliberately prepared gear to respond to an emergency and had the forethought to prepare boots, tactical hat, gun etc but they didn't think to include anything that visibly identifies them as a cop. The dude specifically chose a plate carrier that does the opposite of that.

No actually my post that said the only thing about the picture that bothers me is how so many people are stacked on a wall is what kicked it off. That really upset some people and then the last 3 pages of stupid happened.

I still don’t know if the people arguing with me agree or not because it got defended by citing a lack of funding and training. Nobody actually said they should be doing exactly that.

E: I’m looking and nobody actually disagrees with me about them all being stacked on the wall but we argued for three pages anyway

Then maybe I miss your point when you say it’s not a huge deal, or you miss mine when I say that I think eliminating unnecessary danger when lives are on the line is, indeed, a huge deal.

This is the last I’ll say about it because if we can’t agree on my fundamental point about eliminating unnecessary danger then we just can’t agree.

You can't eliminate all risk and the supervisors on the scene probably had other priorities than reorganizing a bunch of guys behind hard cover. Optimal deployment when you are way, way behind in the ooda loop or whatever is very hard. Preservation of life by establishing containment or active intervention, along with establishing control and gathering information are priorities.

Also for all we know five seconds after this picture was taken someone broke them up into four man teams.in case the perps got into the two adjacent schools, which is when poo poo goes right out the window and you charge in with the blue horde.

Edit: "step over the dead patrol cops and your dead partner and bury them (the perps) in bodies" was a technique discussed in active shooter at schools. Pity the Parkland morons didn't have the same training.
