Two SWAT Officers Suspended for Rushing to Help at Florida School Shooting

"When word that a gunman had opened fire inside of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School spread, two SWAT officers were compelled to help. They, separately, were already near the vicinity of the mass shooting but did not obtain permission before heading to the school to offer assistance, leading them to be suspended for their actions. Gilbert and Schlosser were subsequently suspended and indefinitely removed from a “privileged program,” requiring them to surrender their SWAT-issued rifles, though leaving them on active duty."

Punish the brave, shield the cowardly and reward the corrupt. That is the system they are running down there.

Good job keep those brave away. And punish all who are not criminals. As for you to have all control.

You can't make this shit up.... unreal.

Aren't LEO's required to intervene when a felony is in progress? I bet their union beats this.

Since when does LE need permission to react to a crime being committed? The Sheriff's Department needs a thorough investigation.

To me, makes it sound like they almost hampered some "plans" or dare I say "operation". Can't let that go unpunished. This shooting was allowed to happen.

"Police response plans have largely been updated in recent years to avoid having officers swarm scenes simply because they are in the vicinity..."
"When law enforcement arrives en masse, roads can become jammed, preventing ambulances from easily entering or exiting the area, and radio communications systems can become overwhelmed, amplifying the sense of confusion."

So, instead of training to eliminate this problem, they just tell honest and brave police officers NOT to show up to an event. Brilliant!

Now we know why Broward County didn't enter the school. They didn't want to jam up the place or 'amplify the sense of confusion', right?

Absolutely reprehensible!

Imagine how much trouble I would have gotten in if I went in there with my M4 and put 6 slugs into the bad guy!
