So you would have run into the building and allowed yourself to be sacrificed and killed when Cruz finally did what he had been threatening all along? What he shot something like 17 or 18 people with his AR-15 "semi-automatic" long gun (I previously misspoke)
The job of a protection officer is not just to get into a firefight when the shooting starts, but to detect threats before they become deadly.
I actually own a company that does protection work and there is certain work I just won't accept because the likelihood of an incident is too high and no job is worth losing your life over if the parties involved are not willing to take the minimal efforts to mitigate the risk. It's not worth it from a liability standpoint for my company, for myself nor for my officers.
HOWEVER, if I were doing that kind of work, and I raised a safety or security issue that no one wanted to do anything about, then that's on the powers that be. They want a scapegoat because they didn't do THEIR job. The only thing I could do is keep raising the issues and become a pain in the ass until either they do something about it or get rid of me for nagging them about their failure to act.
Getting rid of the messenger instead of fixing the problem and doing something about Cruz, whose alleged nickname was "school shooter" resulted in exactly the issue that Petersen apparently feared.
And I have no idea where you got the idea that anyone gets free housing. And yeah, being safe and staying safe are all conditions to which we all should aspire. But some people per usual want others to do the dirty work for them and then are outraged because they didn't understand or have the foresight to understand all the many ways in which things can go wrong.
You are unable to do the things I do, that much is evident but that is no reason to start with the fake stereotypes about Black people with the free housing, drawing a pay check and shirking your actual duties. That sounds more like something that the lower echelon folks of the alleged superior race are known for. Always with the excuses for why you aren't doing better than the Black folks.
Tsk, tsk.
