[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 2539152, member: 27751"] I've got 19+ years of LE experience in Wyoming and I agree with what Cody Adams said. All over the country there is no accountability for violence. People committing felonies are released within hours now with little or no bond. Morals are eroding, the family unit is falling apart and God is being removed from society. I teach active shooter classes to officers, schools, churches, businesses and everyone that will take them. I'm not sure what the facts are yet but we teach all officers to go in alone; no waiting even two seconds for backup. We teach schools/citizens to fight back, barricade and or flee (run, hide, fight concepts). Many people (LE too) won't embrace the concepts because "it can't happen here" or they simply don't have the mindset to fight. Every LE officer knows of multiple people who have been a threat to the public, were detained on a mental hold or a serious crime but were let go with no treatment or no prosecution. Laws rarely get enforced any more. We had a guy steal guns at 3am, shoot rounds all over a residential area, we arrested him and he was let go with no charges. We had a kid bring two guns to school and again no charges. The public has no idea what really goes on (sometimes due to juvenile laws preventing disclosure if they are under 18) when someone is arrested but LE gets the black eye when things go wrong (although sometimes it is LE's fault and we own that). The amount of violent media in our society (see Dave Grossman's work at killology.org or his book "Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill" greatly contributes to these events. That along with instant stardom/fame in the media doesn't help. It is also hard to get many of our schools and teachers to embrace active shooter training. I ask all of our deputies/officers to visit each school at random times each day to have a presence; sometimes school staff calls in to complain about us being there. I could go on and on but there are many problems here. I am a fan of a cop in every school (a well trained cop). [/QUOTE]
