      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.

          I was trained security for years in an unarmed capacity. You distract, lure and repeat. Lure the attacker away from soft targets. Every attempt you make is a CHANCE for someone to get away.

          We are trained to go in, period. Columbine changed everything, you no longer set up perimeter and wait for Swat, you go in..ideally you’d like more guys of course, but you have to go, you don’t, you’re in wrong line of work!

          Yet they dress in full military tactical gear with a warlike Humvee. They had me fool with all the optics. Not even the swat is trained but we will expect teachers to defend their students??!! #perplexed

          Thank you for sharing his insight. I have counseled SWAT guys all who also happened to be former marines. They also discussed how even though training exercises can mimic the fear response- they can never quite recreate it. So you never REALLY know until you are in it.

          At least the deputy didn't surrender.
