This isn’t a comment about them, one way or another, but about access to ARs.

Interested to learn what they were armed with.

4. Remember when the firemen charged up the tower stairs?

They didn't say "to much fire, let's wait."

If anything, this proves the point that a good guy with a gun can NOT save you from a bad guy with a gun.

I understand it is scary but isn't it there job. How did the unarmed coach run toward the building to save students and gave his life doing so? 5 trained men with hand guns and rifles cant?

Even shooting at his direction could have worked. It worked with the Columbine kids when the police started shooting at them through the window up in the library

I think there is a big difference between those dudes and a SWAT team.

I clicked on the link 2 minutes after you posted. It says they were uploaded 4 minutes ago. Why don't you link to where they originated?

More info though. Looks like Coral Springs PD were first to rush building while Broward County deputies remained outside. Was it fear? Were they give an order?

I understand the shooting went on for just 7 minutes. We don't know when the deputies actually became aware of the shooting, if they knew which building it was in, where was the deputy when the shooting started, how quickly was he made aware of the shooting, how long it would take for the deputy to reach the shooters building from where he was when he found out, kid were already running out of the building causing confusion. Not saying there was some lack of action, but just questioning given the short time period and chaos how much a deputy could have prevented.
