Terrible idea or not, it's utterly unnatural for parents not to react violently in that situation. And they were very close to reacting with violence.
If that can be verified by reporting then that is standard procedure with something like this. The officers on video probably were assigned to perimeter duty and crowd control.I'm trying to verify this:
According to a couple of people I've spoken to, the police were holding people back b/c they had a team of officers already in the building, and they didn't want any civilians to get mistaken for the shooter.
Take that with a grain of salt b/c I haven't gotten a true 1st source for this.

I'm always dubious of Carlson on a variety of things, as IMO he's a closet commie, but this isn't the type of thing I'd be suspicious of.Carlson covered it tonight and laid out a pretty compelling case that it was just pure cowardice for what it's worth and the police chief straight up lied at the press conference.
And apparently Federal Marshall's were suspiciously on the scene and detained one of the mothers.
I'll wait and see. I think in the meantime, I'll tentatively and temporarily retract my statements about those cops being evil cowards, and I may have been too quick to rush to judgement. But honestly, I doubt it.I'm trying to verify this:

There's a decent chance that the cops are coming up with a CYA story as well, which is a tried and true tactic. If they are, I'll be doubly angry.
To be clear, I don't give a shit if it is standard procedure. If the parents want to storm the building, they have the right too.
Wrong! In truth, if you compressed the entire populations of Nicaragua, Guatemala and Peru into a single abomination, Beta O'Rourke would be more Hispanic than that entity by a factor of 4.3. You can't argue with that!Lol, only he's white!
You're thinking "Assault Rifle" which is capable of automatic fire. "Assault Weapon" vaguely means "Gun that looks scary."
I assume you mean parkland?Why is this sounding more and more like Portland? Didn't they also have warning signs that were ignored.

They knew and did nothing
It's because people are conditioned (wrongly IMO) to believe cops are the good guys. Each one of those cops was the enemy at that point though. Imagine if they didn't have badges and they were civilians. We'd probably call them evil.
Those badges don't make them not evil. Stopping someone from trying to save the day is wrong. It's their body, their choice. The parents really couldn't have made it worse for anyone but themselves, and that's a risk they chose.
Let's me say this.I'm always dubious of Carlson on a variety of things, as IMO he's a closet commie, but this isn't the type of thing I'd be suspicious of.

No, they don't. There's nothing holy or sacred about training. If the training was wrong, it was up to them as adults to realize that and not do it. It's just dodging responsibility.Let's me say this.
One needs to read the state, county or City training for the cops in these situations before going off on them.
Yes, it would be worth it. The parents dying would have been the parents' choices. Putting yourself at risk to save your kid is your absolute right as a parent, and how fucking dare these cops deny them of that right?If the parents stormed and causes the shooter to kill more or kill the parent would ir be worth it?
If the parents were armed though.
I realize this is autocorrupt at work but also think punishing police for ignoring these warnings could be a good idea, albeit gassing them might be a bridge too far.Portland also gas police that ignore signs... But yeah I think he means Parkland.
