I suspect a good lawyer will be able to get him off most if not all of those charges,
Probably, but this isn't about punishing him, it's about distracting from the fact that a Nikolas Cruz can buy an assault rifle to start with.
The NRA paid Scott and DeSantis good money to do their bidding.
He was a total coward and his actions/inaction led to the deaths of many students.
Again, one guy covering a multi-building campus wasn't going to stop a rampage that was over in six minutes.
I tend to agree.
I don't know what the guy was thinking I can only guess what many cops would be thinking in a situation like this
Cops are held accountable when they take proper action such as Ferguson. Darren Wilson lost his job and was charged when he used appropriate force to stop micheal brown.
Brown was unarmed, with his hands up and 149 feet away from Wilson. His use of force wasn't appropriate..
On the other hand now cops are being held accountable for not taking action
Still I think this guy is responsible for not taking action and yes he could have and should have taken action.
In the end though I have a hard time thinking he is criminally responsible
It seems like a failure he should be fired for but not necessarily convicted in criminal court.
A few points here.
First, no one gets assigned as a school resource officer because he's a super-cop. He gets sent there because breaking up a school-yard fight is about the level of his proficiency.
The problem we have is that School yard fights involve guns these days because the NRA makes it so easy to get them.
This rampage was over in six minutes, where he had to call for backup, direct an evacuation of hundreds of kids, and then try to figure out where the shooter was. By that time, Cruz had already walked out with the rest of the kids, and was sitting across the street admiring his handiwork.
