Before we succumb to the propaganda that good men with guns can stop bad men with guns, we have to get the good men to grow a pair.
When dozens of armed, sworn law enforcement agents stand around in the corridor while a gunman is shooting kids and the kids are lying just beyond the door, bleeding out ... I respectfully decline to categorize those law enforcement officers as "good men." As the late Ann Landers used to say in her advice column, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." Those officers -- every last one of them -- needs to turn in his badge and take a job flipping burgers somewhere.,
S.O.P. for active shooters has been for the first responding officer(s) to go in -- immediately -- ever since Columbine. A shooter attacked a kids' day camp in Dallas this morning -- cops arrived within two minutes and took him out before anyone was shot. That's how it's supposed to be done.
Supposedly there had been an active shooter training in Uvalde within two months prior to the event. Chief Arredondo posted about it -- proudly. So why didn't he and his officers (and the city's officers) follow the protocol? I'd like very much to know what they trained for in that drill.
