Our President calls Parkland Deputy a coward

[Valerie]

maybe the person on the radio told him to stay at his position at the exit...........

 

[pismoe]

A trained officer armed with a sidearm decided it was not prudent to engage a shooter or shooters armed with assault rifles

Why would we expect a teacher to do it?

----------------------------------- wasn't the cops decision , he was trained on how to react RWinger .

 

[Tilly]

Trump is a coward as well.

Our President is an asshole for turning on an officer without knowing the facts

Why are you such a liar?

President Trump said Friday the Florida sheriff's deputy who failed to stop last week's mass shooting at a high school was a either a "coward" or froze under extreme pressure.

How does he know what the officer saw or heard?
President Bone Spurs was not there. Can he tell the single officer how many shooters were in there? What weapons they had? Was there someone guarding the door? There were 170 shots fired in 6 minutes. An awful lot for a single officer with six shots to engage single handedly

Is an officer waiting for additional support or information a coward?
In only 4 minutes?

The unarmed coaches didn’t have this info either, yet they had the courage to act. You have to accept the fact that the ARMED security guard who’s job is to PROTECT the kids and is ARMED in order to do that, was too cowardly to even try.

He had little choice

Police officers are trained to assess the situation before they blindly charge in. This situation was not warranted for a single officer to charge in without support

Four minutes waiting for support or instructions is not a long time

OK, well an extra reason to allow willing teachers to be armed and trained.

i'm sure the guy feels terrible and will feel terrible for the rest of his life, but does the man not deserve the benefit of the doubt?

what kind of leadership jumps to conclusions and disparages the judgement of honorable officers assigned to such a tough job?




"suspended without pay pending an investigation. "



When gunfire broke out, the guard was in a different building, helping resolve an unidentified issue with another student.
He rushed to Building 12, but did not go inside.

"I think he (Peterson) got on his radio at a point and time and he took up a position where it looked like he could see the western most entry into the building and never went in," Israel said.

"What I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of building 12, take up a position," Israel said of the video. "And he never went in."



Records show Peterson is a decorated officer who is respected by his peers. In 2014, he was awarded Parkland's school resource officer of the year while still stationed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

"During this time, deputy Peterson has proven to be reliable in handling issues with tact and judgment," the Broward Crime Commission said in the notation for the honor.

Before he was hired as a sheriff's deputy in 1985, he held several jobs, including working as a security guard, and also served in the military, according to his personnel records.

In 2015, Israel applauded Peterson's then-30-year tenure.

"Your dedication and allegiance are the best illustrations of the service [the sheriff's office] provides to the people of Broward County," Israel wrote, according to records.

Peterson also had two officer of the year recommendations.

Florida shooting: Bullets flew for 4 minutes as armed deputy waited outside - CNN

I find the rush to judgement despicable

Without knowing the details of what the officer saw and knew about the situation, it is difficult to pass judgement.
The man was under incredible stress and will live with it the rest of his life

Cut him some slack until the details are known

Maybe the guy had Heel Spurs

Trump calls deputy who failed to stop Parkland school shooting a 'coward'

You took the words right out of my mouth! It takes one to know one. Didn't Trump get out of serving in Vietnam because he supposedly had "Heel Spurs?" Look who's talking!

Of course he could of burned his Draft Card like Clinton did an you liberals would of love the Don then?

I'm a liberal on some issues and a conservative on others.

Guess we never know what we're made of till the real thing happens. And this guy was a cop. Imagine what a teacher who's now being asked to carry a gun and basically be an officer of the law would do during a shootout. Also makes me wonder if the cheapskate republicans plan on giving teachers extra pay for carrying weapons.

 

[pismoe]

some info , and according to the article , Since Columbine Police have been trained to enter and confront school massacres without waiting for backup or support . --- Parkland school cop ‘never went in’ during the shooting. There were other failures, too. --- you can see what i about tactics said and training at the lower end of the article that i post .

Why would we expect a teacher to do it?

Because the teacher is already in the line of fire.

Additionally, the teacher on average cares about their pupils.

Or we can continue to call police who come by 20 minutes later to do nothing.

In case you haven't figured this out yet... these people are insane. They blame everyone except the person who committed this atrocity and defend the guy who could have mitigated the damage yet abandoned his post.

 

[S.J.]

A coward knows he is a coward. Why would someone who knows he's a coward seek a job in which you're expected to put your life on the line to save others? I hope he doesn't get his pension because he sure as shit doesn't deserve one.

 

[pismoe]

well , quess that he resigned or retired whatever that means .

What was there to know about the situation?

There were students in there being shot. He is the armed Deputy.
It is his job to engage the shooter. He's called a First Responder
for a reason.

He kills the shooter or gets killed by the shooter. He's not expected
to identify himself. He's expected to protect those students. He didn't
do it. There are no other meaningful circumstances.

All the needed facts are known.

Well i guess it does take one to know one.

The irony of a guy who dodged the draft 5 times by claiming “bone spurs” calling someone else a coward makes me roll me eyes.

the spelling of my name is right there in the quote box you are replying to, trumptard.

the incident is pending investigation which would be the due process this man is due before being publicly flogged by the mob.

 

[jasonnfree]

Trump and others don't realize it but they are trashing their own brilliant idea that guards will solve the problem.

Guards will solve the problem, as long as they are not Beta Cuck Faggots who just stand there and crap themselves while a maniac kills peoples.

Well be prepared for the cost. I'm guessing, conservatively, that a full time well trained armed guard would cost a school district about 80,000 a year, in pay and benefits.
A good sized high school would need, I'm going to guess, at least 5 to make this effective.

Do the math.

I bet that Veterans of the Military and there are millions of them, I bet they would guard those schools for next to nothing and they are already fully trained and a lot of them are retired already.

probably, but we don't have militarized polices forces, so don't get too nostalgic for the gestapo

That has nothing to do with the situation that anyone is discussing and yes Veterans of the Military who are retired would guard those schools for next to nothing, it's okay people know that Leftists hate the Military and the Police, but you like Police who are cowards and stand there doing nothing while a maniac is shooting people.

John Kerry went in the navy and volunteered for gun boats while some republicans like bush, cheney, and of course trump weaseled out. Hey, even leftist, marxist, Oliver Stone went in the service during Vietnam war, served in combat. This left/right thing doesn't work when it comes to determine a person's ability, bravery, worth and all that.
