Yes I agree. His sworn duty was to protect those kids even if it meant his own life.

But also I imagine this guy was the cop at a school because he was a nice guy, who the kids respected and not because he was they type of cop who was quick on the draw. Cops are people too... and in this case I kinda get it. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

"They"?
Who are you referring to, you lazy ass?
"Everyone"?
Not everyone with a a gun is Rambo, point proven by the coward that was being paid to protect those kids in Florida.

At least try to educate yourself before you make sweeping proclamations, perhaps then you won't appear so lame.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — After meeting with Florida school shooting survivors this week, President Trump said he wants "highly trained" teachers to carry guns in an effort to deter the next mass casualty event.

When Aaron Sydow heard about the president's position, he was encouraged.

After all, Sydow's school district has been doing it for years.

Sydow is the superintendent of the Fairview R-XI School District in West Plains, Mo. Shortly after 20 first-graders were killed in 2012 at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, Fairview schools partnered with a local security company to start arming some teachers.

More than a dozen other Missouri schools have followed Fairview's lead.

The American Federation of Teachers this week came out against arming teachers. And the three biggest school districts in the Springfield area told the News-Leader they have no plans to adopt the president's suggestion.

The debate about whether teachers should be armed was thrust back into the national discussion after a gunman killed 17 people last week at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Sydow said when he started in education 20 years ago, he could not have imagined teachers walking the hallways with concealed handguns, but this is a different day and age.

"It's sad that it's come to this," Sydow said.

The way the process works in Fairview, Sydow said, is that faculty members interested in carrying concealed handguns go through an initial 40-hour training session with Shield Solutions security company that includes a psychiatric evaluation.


Teachers who pass the initial training must also complete 24 hours of additional training every year to maintain their ability to carry guns at school, Sydow said.

For security purposes, Sydow declined to say how many teachers at his one-building K-8 school are armed, but he acknowledged there are "several."

Sydow said one reason why the district felt it would be a good idea to arm teachers is because of the rural location of the school in Howell County.

"If there was an event out here at this particular school and if a sheriff's deputy was sitting in his car at the sheriff's office waiting for us to call, it would be a minimum of 8 minutes before arrival," Sydow said.

In most school shootings, the event is over in a few minutes, Sydow said.

Greg Martin is the CEO of Shield Solutions, the company that trains Fairview's teachers. Martin said his company also provides the same services to more than 20 other schools in Missouri.

Martin said teachers in his program receive extensive handgun training, and they are also trained on how to provide tactical medical care.

"This stuff is not going away," Martin said. "It's getting worse. Every day it's something new."

After the recent school shooting in Florida, assistant football coach Aaron Feis was called a hero for using his body to shield students from gunfire.

Martin said Thursday the situation might have been different if Feis had been armed.

"Why not give them the tools they need to stop something like this?" Martin asked.

Martin declined to say how much his training costs school districts.

The nice man was a Broward County Sheriff.
Had this man done his sworn duty perhaps the football coach wouldn't of had to use his body as a shield?
Had that hero football coach had a gun his chances when confronting the armed assailant at least even out.

Once again you reply to your self-dictated narrative and not what I posted, in fact the exact opposite.
 
Nikolas Cruz Is the Result of 'It Takes a Village'
RICH LOGIS
No, it doesn't "take a village." Where was the "village" for Nikolas Cruz?
https://www.americanthinker.com/art...cruz_is_the_result_of_it_takes_a_village.html

February 19, 2018 was the day the Democratic Party publicly declared its War on Youth. Yes, we know that the Democrats and DMIC (the Democrat Media Industrial Complex) have always preyed upon our children, and yes, we know that the Democrats have infested and infiltrated virtually every industry in America – especially where the youth spend much of their time.

But it was early last week when the Democrats fired their modern-day Fort Sumter shot.

Does everyone see what the Democrats have done? They've pitted children against us, thereby mainstreaming and normalizing child exploitation. What the Democrats did to Parkland student Emma Gonzalez was as sickening a display as any I've ever witnessed. They coaxed an understandably distraught child to spew one debunked Democrat lie after another – and, of course, plenty of invective toward President Trump.

The reality is terrifying

David Hogg, a 17-year-old Parkland student, asked on CNN: "If you can't get elected without taking money from child murderers, why are you running?" Normal question from a 17-year-old, right? Wondering aloud if he came up with that question all on his own, with such emotionally vivid lingual sophistication and political acumen, must make me a grumpy old gun nut who thinks our youth are stupid.
