So much for Foots' idea of having armed cops on campus.
The cop who was on duty at Douglas shit his pants and deserted the kids. .
When Nikolas Cruz started shooting last week at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, an armed deputy stationed at the Florida school rushed to the building.
But instead of entering, the officer waited outside for four minutes as the gunman killed students and faculty inside, authorities said.
I think we're going to see an increased discussion in this country regarding law enforcement and their role in mass shootings. Their apathy can be identified in just about every case. Whether it's repeated visits to the shooter's home resulting in no action taken, despite signs of erratic behavior, failure to investigate online activity, failure to enforce gun laws on the books, or, now, outright derelict of duty during incidents.
It's possible this officer could have saved most, if not ALL of the lives that were lost if he'd performed his duty. There is no end around at this point for police apologists. Law enforcement is as much to blame as anything.
