[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 403058"] Yep, he doesn't belong on the police force, so he's rightfully gone. We are all human though - I'm sure he has a family - would you want to walk into a war zone? I wouldn't. That was his job though, but its understandable. I bet in war soldiers freeze. Its gotta be human nature sometimes. NBC News interviewed a surviving student at the school who called the officer a coward. The guy quit, he knows what he did...what good does that do? If I were a parent, I might be upset that he gets a golden million dollar plus retirement parachute since they didn't fire him but let him retire. But there is literally nothing to be gained by pointing out to him what he no doubt already knows and has nightmares about. Our local high school has 5 armed officers for 4,000 students. Parkland had 1 officer for 3,000 students. If you had an appropriate amount of officers, who were actually at school, it would have made a difference. There is a chance they would have recognized him as the banned student when he first got there too. And of course disturbing schools, making threats against schools, making terroristic threats - the latter 2 are already felonies in Florida. He didn't use anonymous posts on the internet - he used his personal accounts by his name directly to other people. And, the voters had passed a bill to spend a bunch of money upgrading security at this school which would have helped...4 years ago, but the school district never did it. There is all kinds of bad in this story - multiple layers that if people had just done their job this never would have happened. [/QUOTE]
