Parkland Rent a Cop Charged.

[Shell B]

It really shouldn't stand up. He has to live with the fact that he ran away. That's enough. He can hardly be held responsible for what a psychopath did.

I don’t think Scot Peterson should be facing any charges but that Supreme Court decision makes me feel icky. I don’t know. If there’s a court order mandating the arrest of someone who violates a protection order, the police should be required to make a reasonable attempt to arrest the person. Otherwise, wtf is the purpose of having court orders to begin with?

And, honestly, there's still a good chance that even if he did leap into action, by the time he got to the scene of the crime, it'd have all been over (the massacre lasted six minutes) and he would have blended into the crowd of students fleeing the scene (note: Cruz did this IRL).

Apparently, the fact that the Gonzales v. Town of Castle Rock decision was written by Scalia might explain some things.

Also, Scot Peterson? Isn't he already in San Quentin? How the fuck did he get to Florida without the California DoJ noticing?

I assume also that the rent-a-cop didn't like his chances in a handgun vs semi-auto AR-15 fire fight.

Apparently, being a cop doesn't make you a hero any more than being a soldier does.  Yet soldierly cowardice in the face of the enemy is almost always a punishable offense.

Any cop who is going to stand outside a school while gunfire is going on should be, at a minimum, struck off for life.

Hey, whoa now! The rent-a-cop was the "good guy with a gun", and probably acted like any other GGWAG would act.

So you peed your pants in combat, eh?


Oh right - you went into combat armed with a fingernail file.....

Another proof that we have no rules here.

We have rules. Not being an asshole isn't one of them or all three of us would be gone.

Where did you see action? What branch were you in? How many push ups can you do?

Dick-measuring contests are for pussies.
