98Z5V Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 Saw that on the news this afternoon - GREAT news!
98Z5V Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 Fox news included information that the other places aren't reporting - I guess ABC doesn't want people to know that he's facing 100 years in prison... The charges carry a combined potential prison sentence of nearly 100 years for the officer blasted by many critics as the "Coward of Broward." https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-resource-officer-who-didnt-enter-school-during-shooting-massacre-is-arrested

Close enough I guess. Edited June 5, 2019 by Sisco

Belt Fed Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 I heard him telling someone on tv that was what they were trained to do. No police training tells you to go hide in a corner when needed.

I'm actually wondering if this isn't a ploy to go after his retirement? I think the man is a POS coward and deserves anything he gets but if he does get convicted it will be the start down a slippery slope for law enforcement in this country. The courts decided some time back that law enforcement had no obligation to protect any one individual unless they were in police custody. If Peterson is convicted of these charges and the convictions aren't overturned by a higher court (which I'm pretty sure they would be) then that would leave every LEO in this country open to criminal charges if inaction (for whatever reason) on their part resulted in the death of someone. I want to see Scot Peterson get his just deserts, but not at the expense of my brothers and sisters out on the streets!
Robocop1051 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Posted June 7, 2019 I had a talk with one our new rookies today. We were talking about having to make the hard decision to do the right thing, no matter what. I explained, “75 years ago, today, 150,000 18,19, 20, 21 year old boys were told they were going to jump from boats and planes, directly into enemy gunfire. They knew they were going to die, and 4,414 of them were right. Yet every one of them made the decision to do the right thing.”
RedRiverII Posted June 7, 2019 Report Posted June 7, 2019 Horrible. I never knew we had some armed protector already on scene.

98Z5V Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Right on the money, Rob. "Doing the Right Thing" doesn't mean that you do what's expected, when people are watching you. You do what's expected, and right - when nobody is watching you...
