Except the cops didn’t “show up” in this case. They wilted like pansies until the shooting stopped, then, like a coward, a single cop cracked open a door and killed the good guy with a gun who had just saved numerous lives. Numerous COP lives. Brownlow and his brown stained shitpants never hesitated or assessed the situation. His life was not in danger, nor were any other lives. The thing about situational awareness is that if you don’t have it, you’ll never miss it.

Tragic story. I've often thought about that if I was ever in a defensive situation. When cops arrive they have NO idea who's who, or whats what. I wouldn't want to have to be in that spot, and make split second decisions with little to no info.

Oh, stop. It’s a description given by one side in a lawsuit . You should take it with an grain of salt Especially the part where it says no reasonable officer would see a man with a rifle in a school who appeared to be reloading it could believe that man to be a threat .Except the cops didn’t “show up” in this case.

Things happen in the “fog of war “ . Now add rifle vs handgun with the possibility of concealed body armor by the rifleman .
And before anyone jumps down my throat , friendly fire incidents happen among police and military. Especially police when one of the officers is in plainclothes. It can happen. Know the steps to lessen the possibility. Don’t have the gun in your hand if you don’t have to.

You’re so right. About everything. Ever. Except the “rifle in a school” part. WTF are you talking about? An SRO was shot, that doesn’t make it a school shooting. And shooting someone in the back is cowardly and poor policy, even for cops. Wink, wink!

If I got the facts in case wrong , sorry . Even so, man with rifle working the action with people shot , the confusion of the scene is easy. Now ask to engage with a handgun vs rifle with possible body armor , the hand gun guy needs every advantage he can take .

maybe cops should learn that not every man woman and child holding a gun is a threat
when they call 911 .. i shot a home invader or what ever the issue is ..
and they show up ... omg a fucking gun .. pew pew pew
and shoot the good guy with a gun ..

First I've heard about this tragic event. So why didn't the white folk march, loot, burn shit down, and go after the cops?
Yes.
I'm expected to know my target and whatever is beyond it.
I would expect the same level of competency from police. After all, they are the "chosen ones" who are allowed all sorts of special privileges we mere mortals are not. With great power comes great responsibility.
