    As for the 4 sheriff’s deputies who waited outside? “Poor training and poor leadership,” says Jim. “Simple as that. Probably none of them were in a war or even the military… I used to take my SWAT team and put them in a field and have my sniper fire live rounds..

        over their heads so they knew what it sounded like. So they’d get used to it and not panic when they got shot at.” “What should that one deputy have done?” I asked Jim. “Aren’t you trained *not* to burst into an unknown situation? After all, how can you help if you get shot?”

        But if you hear shots being fired you in- part know some of the situation. And also know what the shooter is busy doing. He can’t be shooting ppl and, at the door at the same time.

        “That’s normally true,” said Jim. “But not in a school where there’s an active shooter. You have to assume that every time a shot’s fired, he’s killing someone. You just have to go. If I had driven up and seen my guys waiting outside, I woulda said, ‘What the f—- are you doing

        out here, he’s not outside is he? Did you look under the car, too? Come on let’s get in the building!” “So if the cop bursts in — what does he do?” “Well, if he’s trained he can tell where the shots are coming from. You don’t show yourself...

        you try to make your way to the shooter and shoot him in the back of the neck. But you just have to go try. Heck, you could have drive the sheriff’s car right up as close as you could get to the front and even thru the door.”

        I know this isn’t a popular sentiment, but I said to Jim, “I feel sorry for that deputy who they’re calling a coward. We don’t know the whole story, but nobody knows how they’ll really react until it happens to them. We’re programmed to preserve our own lives;

        some people run toward danger — but when the time comes, some can’t.” “That happened in the war, too. Some guys would get shot at or mortared and couldn’t move, they just froze,” says Jim. “It goes back to training and leadership.”

        “I feel sorry for him too,” Jim adds. “I’d rather be shot than live with what he has to live with the rest of his life. He’ll never be able to shake it.” That having been said, of course, the grief of the families is paramount.

        Didn't they have an active shooter training at that school? So training should have been up to date including Columbine recommendation of going in. Also doesn't account for fact that once CSPD showed up STILL didn't go in

        Sheriff Israel’s leadership is very questionable. His comments have proven he is political instead of a real leader.
