School Resource Officers - An End of a Career Job

B

Bourbon

In Yo Face!
The cop who stayed outside of the building was a School Resource Officer. He used to be a regular cop, I'm sure, but he was getting older and slower and not quite as sharp as the younger guys. He was getting close to his retirement date. So, he got himself transferred to become a School Resource Officer. It's a pretty common thing, really. SROs get to be Officer Friendly at a school and give talks and let kids take selfies with them. Yes, they're still cops, but they're not really doing police work so much any more, and that's just fine with them.

So, Officer Friendly was on duty when some weird kid brought his AR-15 to the school that expelled him for being a weird kid. He went in, shot up a few classrooms, then dropped his weapon and ran away with the other kids who were running away, leaving a trail of dead people behind him. Officer Friendly heard the gunshots and pretty much froze.

He was on short time. His retirement was almost there. Gunshots? No thanks! So, he stood outside and waited for backup. He wasn't going to die that day. Not a chance. A coward? Yeah, OK. Still alive? You bet he is. Now, he'll move somewhere else in Florida, move into a condo and live until that heart attack drops him in his tracks.

Could he have stopped what happened? Probably not. By the time he got to where the shooter was, the shooter would probably have already dropped his AR-15 and was making his escape. It's a sad deal for Officer Friendly. It's not the end of his time as a cop he anticipated. He's alive, though. Maybe that's enough for him to forget it happened. Maybe.

so you're saying that most of middle america was mindfucked in to thinking that school resource officers would keep our kids safe because they WERE cops?
 
there were 3 regular cops there who also did not go in the school.You don't know what you will do until you are in that position. Yeah, cops are paid to stop a shooter. But he had a semi auto and wanted to kill people. it is not so easy to kill someone. It is tough to run into a school to stop a killer with automatic weapons.

GOOD GUY WITH A GUN​
 
Not everyone can be a hero. I am not going to begrudge a rent-a-cop for not wanting to take on an AR-15 assault rifle, with a pistol. A lot of humans would realize they are out gunned and would hunker down.

“To harbor spiteful feelings against ordinary people for not being heroes is possible only for narrow-minded or embittered man.”

Trump is going to honor himself with a medal of honor, because he said he would have gone in unarmed and stopped the shooter. He is a hero.

Why are people downgrading the abilities of this cop ? He had a lifetime of experience and training. He had what is needed to do the job, except the nerve. Nobody ,except Trump, knows what they would do. Even a professional. It was not because he lost his abilities and training. he just did not have the guts. You never know. He surely had better training and experience that Cruz did.

Let's make sure we call The White House for backup next time ...
 
I looked it up and Resource officers make about 64K a year. Not exactly a rent a cop. it is an easy job since schools are relatively safe and shootings are pretty rare. They make almost double what teachers make.
 
"Good guys with guns" and kops don't hesitate to shoot an unarmed Black man or young boy.

They are cowards who pick on those who can't fight back.
