Are you assuming an accredited police officer has not received active shooter training in the last 19 years?

I’m saying that I don’t know and nobody has shown either way.

Like I said, we weren’t there and don’t know to what extent he participated. I think it is probably fair to let the truth come out before condemning a man that has to be feeling about as awful as one can. I would extend the same courtesy to you.

You didn't confuse me my friend. I exposed the confusion in your statement.
We know enough about what he didn't do to form the opinion I formed.
He should feel awful. And he should be publicly condemned, as a warning to others who might find themselves in the same situation and might want to do what he did.
It wouldn't be so bad if we were not being told that we are not competent to bear arms but policemen are, and we don't need to anyway, because the government has hired people to protect us.
Mntnman:
Well I don’t think you know as much as you assume. His version of what happened differs from your assumptions and judgement in haste is reckless.
His version according to his lawyer:
DiRuzzo claims Sheriff Israel omitted facts.
He wrote:
Peterson initially “received a call of firecrackers — and not gunfire — in the area of the 1200 Building.”
In response to the firecracker call Mr. Peterson along “with Security Specialist Kelvin Greenleaf exited the 100 Building and ran north the couple of hundred yards to the 1200 Building.”
Upon arriving at 1200 Building Mr. Peterson “heard gunshots but believed that those gunshots were originating from outside of any of the buildings on the school campus.”
BSO trains its officers that in the event of outdoor gunfire one is to seek cover and assess the situation in order to communicate what one observes to other law enforcement.
Consistent with his training, Mr. Peterson “took up a tactical position between the 700-800 buildings corridor/corner.”
Peterson was the first BSO officer to advise BSO dispatch that he heard shots fired.
Peterson “initiated a ‘Code Red’ lockdown of the entire school campus.”
“The first police officer that arrived on-scene was from the Coral Springs Police Department.” Mr. Peterson informed this Coral Springs Police Officer that he “thought that the shots were coming from outside.” This Coral Springs Police Officer took up a tactical position (approximately twenty yards away from Mr. Peterson) behind a tree with his rifle.
“Radio transmissions indicated that there was a gunshot victim in the area of the football field,” which served to confirm Mr. Peterson’s belief “that the shooter, or shooters, were outside.”
Peterson had the presence of mind to have the school administrators go to the school’s video room to review the closed-circuit cameras to locate the shooter and obtain a description for law enforcement.
Peterson provided his keys to the Coral Springs SWAT team so that they could enter the 1200 Building.
Peterson “provided BSO SWAT Command with handwritten diagrams of the entire Stoneman Douglas campus for student evacuation.”
I would give you the same benefit of doubt that I am asking you to have. All Monday quarterbacks are all stars.
