Parkland, Florida - "Police Presence?"

[Perd Hapley]

Obviously, CNN's quite capable of faking the news, and then lying about it. Still, that email could be from Bored Housewives Demand Action, or Organizing For America, or whatever Russian bots were actually scripting that event. Of course, that doesn't mean CNN was unaware of it, either. But that's not really a mark against CNN. You'd expect the people asking questions to have suggested questions in hand, from whatever groups they're aligned with. That wouldn't be unethical.

Setting up a perimeter stopped being the protocol right after Columbine. That may have been Deputy Peterson's protocol but it wasn't his department's protocol. That's why he was suspended.

I've heard that a hundred times, but is that really true of every police department in the country? Also, I just heard a Michael Graham in the Morning podcast, and he said that cops waited outside during the Pulse shooting, and another recent shooting. I'm not sure what's correct.

We are supposed to forget that Donna Brazile while working for cnn provided scripted questions to Hillary Clinton before a primary debate.

Sean Spicier just said on Twitter (of course, because he only exists in the Twitterverse), "Wonder what department of the NRA kept the resource officer from entering the school."

(Posting that before Ben does.   )



Also, it didn't matter what the cop did. His handgun would have been useless against an AR.

This does not surprise me one bit

The saddest part is that even if every last word of that is gospel truth not a damn thing will come of it.

That pic is over a year old http://www.theamericanmirror.com/mystery-cnn-plant-question-obamacare-debate/  But it shows that they've used shills before and denied it.

Ah, so that's why Liberators didn't catch on; the .45ACP bullets were so slow the German could just move his head out of the way and shoot the Frenchman with his 9mm.

From that link:

To those of you who find yourself in the first group [SROs who would be "active responders"], let this incident be a solemn reminder that bad *expletive deleted*it can and does happen, and we never know when or where it might strike.  Be prepared, always.  Train, train often and train hard.  Take all the active shooter training you can get.  Take your firearm training seriously, and take a lot of it.  Don’t just be proficient with your handgun and your rifle, master the *expletive deleted*it out of them!  Take combat first aid classes.  There are lots of places that put it on, and some even supply you with a high quality military spec medic bag when you take them.

Ayup.
