The school shooting in Conn. could have been much worse. The guy could have walked into the school unarmed-set off the fire alarm. In about 5 minutes there would have been 500-700 students standing outside in groups with the teachers. Emergency training should now also include thar the people lay on the ground. People standing up with be too much of a target.

Is there a chance that this was an initial training, and the drills will escalate in degree of reality? Meaning at some point there will be actual students.

Wageslave,

I am not a bitter guy at all...I just call it like I See it. And I never said I am a police officer.

swedishchef2,

Must have missed the joke. I believe he is getting at the fact that terrorist situations involving guns cannot happen here legally because it is a gun free zone. However, we all know that this only enables the bad guy (hence the cue for eliminating gun free zones.

You sounds like you are a pretty bitter guy. If you don't like being a police officer then get a new job. I respect the police and everything they do. But at the end of the day they are a servant to the public, and we all know that is a difficult role.

But, I thought these were Gun Free Zones??

They were unloaded...as seen in the picture...

GravyPig,

Sure, I see what your saying. However, I think the mass hysteria is going to be elevated when police crews are darting in from all directions. I guess I am questioning how effective the drills are going to be without the student base present. Its like the schools doing tornado drills without the kids. You kind of need everyone to know procedure.

Also, my last comment was directed at lifting the "gun free" zone from campus. I think a good collaboration of well trained police and well trained, but armed citizens create the best case scenario. At least let the "victims" have a chance to protect themselves and friends.

So people on here are upset because the police are taking steps and training on how to protect your crying but when YOU NEED THE POLICE...and if the police did not train and something did happen, you all would be asking why were they not trained enough? Law Enforcement can never win. When your getting shot at by a gunman, call your local crack head. Better yet conduct some training of your own and then solve all your own problems and leave the police alone. I'm sure the police have better things to do other than dealing with your problems that YOU can't resolve...like using them as an intimidation tool because your kid won't wake up to go to school or church....or you and your spouse are having an argument and can't be mature enough to work it out yourselves. You people have no idea what "hats" officers HAVE to wear every day.

I didn't vote because the election was rigged for the globalists to win. This is big folks! They're coming for our personal rights! 1984!
