WTF! this is getting ridiculous.
the local LEO never pass up an opportunity to pull out the toys at tax payer expense.Is the tank really necessary?
Is the tank really necessary?
Was it a for real tank, or something like an APC? I didn't see it, so I am legitimately asking.
In fairness to the LE on the scene, if they get reports of an active shooting incident with 50 people shot/injured I imagine they will do their best to "prepare for the worst" to be on the safe side and, let's face it, a strong show of force to help relay the thought to people that they are taking control.
I'm not saying that was the right call, but I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.
In an active shooter situation there are a couple of great reasons to bring an armored vehicle if you've got access to one:
Can safely approach the school in order to make entry, bringing your own "cover" with you
Can use it to shield people running out of the building and use it to evac them, either in it or behind it
Can be used to shield EMS and provide CasEvac if necessary
Nothing short of an APC is going to do those jobs well, civilian vehicles don't do a good job of stopping bullets. It doesn't help anyone to have a bunch of responding officers and medics get killed by rifle fire because the use of an APC is seen as offensive.
The verbiage being used in available media is "tank", not APC, not armored personnel carrier, "tank".
Is the tank really necessary?
According to law enforcement sources, the shooter, former student Nicolas de Jesus Cruz, is in custody.

Damn I wish Shephard Smith would shut his cock-gobbling pie-hole...
He has made a career out of grand-standing during school shootings... all the while bemoaning school shootings. If Shephard Smith would stop turning these events into "look at me" moments... maybe a few of these retards wouldn't want to go out in a blaze of Shephard Smith commentary glory...
Tired of this sh**

If he’s a dreamer I’m gonna lose my shit.

I said this after Newtown:
Why don’t schools have hardened entry vestibules? One set of entry doors (to get late students or visitors out of the rain, etc.), a 10-15’ deep vestibule, and then a set of hardened entry doors that someone must be buzzed in by a faculty member or guard. The hardened doors are immediately locked from entry (not exit in case of a fire or other emergency) at the start of school. The person(s) in the vestibule can then be visibly inspected and spoken to (via a speaker) before allowed entry.
This would not be hard to accomplish to existing schools, nor would it be outrageously expensive. You can bet that wealthy people in the cities wouldn’t mind ponying up the cash, or at least a large portion of it, if it avoids situations like this.
Will such a measure solve all active shooter situations? Of course not, but it would surely make it more difficult for them to get inside the structure where they essentially have a shooting gallery.
because the reality is.......the Democrats dont actually want to stop school shootings.....because they get off on this shit.I said this after Newtown:
