If protesting a semi-auto ban means you care more about your guns than the children, what does it mean when an entire police precinct cares more about department policy than the lives of children?

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT IN BLACK AND WHITE (or chartreuse, mulberry and periwinkle for you liberals out there):

The answer they say is to give up your rights to self-defense, give up your guns, yet the police are 10-20 minutes away, not there to protect you, and in any extraordinary situation, stand by to call in the SWAT team, then when the SWAT team shows up, they aren't there to respond either, but to sit and wait for orders.

If you have to sit and wait for someone to decide to go in and help save little kids from being slaughtered, then you can KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE expecting police to help you with any other serious situation.

LESSON LEARNED: NEVER EVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS and tell all of the fools and buffoons from England, Australia and elsewhere citing crime rates and why they gave up theirs to be subjects of the government to go shove it, sit on it and TWIST DEEP.

Oh and, those two guys deserve a commendation, not censure.

Actually it was for leaving their nearby city of Miramar to go help without permission-

When a gunman started shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, two Miramar SWAT team members did what comes naturally: They went to help.

Now they’ve been suspended for it.

The officers did not have permission to respond to the shooting at Parkland on Feb. 14, when 17 people were killed.

And that created an officer safety issue and left them unaccountable for their actions, according to their police department.

But their union reacted differently.

“While it may have been a violation of policy to not notify their supervisors that they were going there, their intentions were brave and heroic, I think,” Broward County PBA President Jeff Marano said Wednesday

Two Miramar SWAT officers suspended for heading to Parkland massacre

...

The SWAT officers who responded were Detective Jeffrey Gilbert and Detective Carl Schlosser. One of them told supervisors he was in the Coral Springs area when the gunfire happened; it’s not known where the other drove from, police spokeswoman Tania Rues said.

“They were both close by [the high school],” Rues said.

A third SWAT member, Officer Kevin Gonzalez, was accused of being linked to several social media posts that put the city and police in a negative light, and was suspended for violating the department’s social media policy and the code of conduct, Rues said.

She said she “could not comment further on where he may have posted information about the mass shooting or what was written.”

All three were notified Fed. 22 of their indefinite removal from what their department called a “privileged program” and were ordered to surrender their SWAT-issued rifles, but they remain on active duty for their other assignments, Rues said.

The afternoon of the shooting, Miramar police placed the SWAT team on stand-by in case a request came from the Broward Sheriff’s Office to assist. That call for the team never came, Rues said.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday it could not confirm whether anyone spoke with Miramar that day, but said Miramar’s SWAT team was “not needed” during the incident.

Miramar Police sent a victim’s advocate to help console victims’ families and officers to help direct traffic, Rues said.

The instinct to run toward danger is a common one in police officers, seen often during terrorist attacks and mass shootings.

But during the Jan. 6, 2017, shootings at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, over 2,000 cops responded to the original report of gunfire and false reports of additional shots fired, according to a report by the Broward Sheriff’s Office. Five people where killed and six others wounded in the rampage.

“Police officers have an inherent bias for action, and the minute they hear there’s a violent incident underway their immediate inclination is to go to it and try to stop the violence that is occurring,” Jim Bueermann, president of the Police Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based police research organization, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel last June. “And we want that in police officers. The problem is being able to channel that.”

But police response plans around the country have been changed to avoid having cops swarm to scenes. A crowd of arriving law enforcement can jam roads that ambulances need to use, overwhelm radios and in general, add to the confusion of the police response.

Lessons learned from the Aurora, Colo. movie theater shooting and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport shooting “clearly demonstrate that a controlled, organized response is what is most effective,” Rues said.

I would suspect that, that policy may be looked at.

Sometimes there is just time to react. What would it have been ;like on 911 if all first responders looked around for someone to ask if the could go help lives.

Those in command nee to reevaluate their life threatening rules.

Just make Trump look even more stupid for criticizing people who did what they were told to do.

That sheriff office is basically gay jews who told their forces to stand down. Sounds like a familiar formula.

They have reevaluated, that is why the two officers are suspended.

The badge is still in their picture. In my opinion, that right there is what matters most. Then I saw this part of the write up:

Broward County Sheriff’s Captain Jan Jordan has been criticized for ordering officers to set up a perimeter rather than sending them in to stop the shooter, whose whereabouts were still unknown.

Several police officers and medics have reported that they believed more lives were lost because the incident commander wouldn’t let them respond earlier.

To me, it sounds like the wrong set of cops have been punished.

God bless you and them always!!!

What?

How does your reply have anything to do with what I said?

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

"Officer safety issue"? It is ridiculous that command believes the POLICE should always do their job in absolute safety whenever possible.

Using dead children to take away Constitutional rights is repugnant. Call for a Constitutional Convention to change the 2nd.
