On the news tonight they were talking about the NEW training concept of first responder LEOs to an active shooter being told NOW to go right in and engage the shooter, for the express purpose of stopping the carnage, rather then the SOP of waiting for backup.
Columbine was used as an example of the cops watching and listening to the active shooters execute student after student while they waited for SWAT to arrive.
Big news? Latest tactics?
Ponder for 20 years talking to my LEO friends, asking them how the could sit back and watch prison hostages get killed, bank robberies go down, people getting executed because Officer Safety was paramount.
So they interviewed police officers doing this new non-pussy do the right thing training and it was funny...'Yeah, uh, wow, you know it's natural to run from gunfire, but now we have to move toward it, scary'.
Seriously, it makes you ponder who they hire to be cops and worse, who they hire to make the big boy decisions.
