They have their OWN SWAT TEAM and this still happened?

Looks like 40% of their police budget needs to go towards firing these guys and training what is left.

Wouldn't shock me if their SWAT team wasn't even called! The 40-minute gap is still a huge question - the cops very well might've noticed he was in the now-locked classroom, posted themselves outside, then absolutely everyone developed a severe case of the chickenshits. Then cloaked it like a hostage situation with the cops keeping parents away in the parking lot!

Eighty years ago today, a B-17F nicknamed Cherry was shot down over Belgium near Tournai. The kill claim was split between three Luftwaffe pilots: Gerhard Shöpfel of JG26, Hans Ehlers and Eugen Wloschinski of JG1. Eight of Cherry's crew perished, including my uncle Staff Sergeant Edward Blount, manning the starboard waist gun.

The only thing that I'll say in the cops favor in this case (because they absolutely hosed up in the worst possible way in everything else) is them keeping the parents away. That's scene security. If there's that many cops at the location, they have more than enough engaged already or staging for an assault. Letting anyone get onto a still very active scene with a gunman still alive is bonkers. Adding armed and unarmed parents to the mix letting them run into the scene, and poo poo goes sideways really quick. We also don't even know if this video was recorded after the gunman was down and they needed to keep people away so they wouldn't mess up all of the evidence in what turned from an active scene into a crime scene.

That said, the parent's reactions are 100% justified. The cops would have to physically hold me back, too, cuz I'd want to rush in to save my kid, too.

Everything else in the police response is, IMO, a complete failure and indefensible. So please don't dogpile on me or tell me to kill myself for saying what I said in the above paragraph. I can assure you my brain tells me that more in a day than you ever could so leave that poo poo out.


This is gonna be a lengthy investigation. Due to the horrific nature of the crime and the well deserved public outrage against the police, I think that we'll get all of the minute details and exact sequence of events as investigators gather evidence and pinpoint what exactly happened. As we can already see, there's like 5 versions of events that happened according to initial reports. Unfortunately we have to wait a while for the facts.

Nah, you are absolutely correct in that the cops need to keep random civilians away from an active shooter.

You are also correct in that if they had enough people for crowd control, they had enough to breach and end that poo poo.

CommieGIR posted:

Yes, most SROs are just used as a way to punish kids rather than helping anyone.

Or in the case of the one at my high school, more interested in weirding out girls than his job.

The closest thing we had to a school shooting was that one day (I was a Junior at this point), a former student who'd pissed off some Asian gang got spotted at a nearby 7-Eleven. They were obviously looking for someplace safe so they raced over to our school (good headwork there :rolleyes:) because it was common knowledge that one door in the back was kept open for late arrivals. They never made it inside, though. In some :allears: nostalgia, the only weapon the Asian gang members were armed with was a 22LR *rifle*, but at close range it was good enough to kill the driver.

The point in my recounting this? In the confusion following the incident, they put *teachers* in the stairwells. No one knew if it was over at that point, all someone knew was there was gunfire in the rear parking lot and someone was hit. People wondered where our SRO was. He was "coordinating" and "waiting for backup." Nothing happened to him, because nothing ever happened inside the school, even though it was clearly the plan of the people in the car to run into the school, hoping the gang members wouldn't follow them in.

No, I don't buy this. They tell mass shooting victims to fight back with anything, but these guys held parents back while they spent 40 minutes twiddling their thumbs.

Scene security is a poor excuse. Scene security was just an excuse to not get into the firing line.

I'd be willing to give them a pass if they weren't slamming the parents to the concrete.
I'd be willing to give them a pass if they had made an attempt at the job.
I'd give them a pass if there were dead cops scattered across the playground.

I will not give them a pass for applying selective aggression to civilians when their grief and anger is the direct result of police inaction.
I will not give them a pass when they failed in the basics of doing the job.
I will not give them a loving pass for failing to be human loving beings.

They made a loving choice, and it was the wrong one. They don't deserve credit not doing the single job they are expected to. The ONE part of the social contract we all agreed on. We look the other way as they as an organization rob us, beat us, and murder us, with the expectation that when it's loving babies, they take the risk.
In a just world, the entire loving department would hang

SROs are an absolute waste of money and time. There's no evidence adding SROs makes anyone secure and they are directly involved in criminalizing and penalizing at risk students and getting the School to Prison pipeline going faster, including hitting kids with fines that they have to go to court for.

Worth noting this VERY SCHOOL just dumped a bunch of money into hardening the school's security. And it did nothing to stop this.
