New video shows school cop Scot Peterson hiding as gunman shoots Parkland students
David Fleshler and Megan O'Matz
South Florida Sun Sentinel

Vilified as a coward for failing to intervene in the Parkland school shooting, former deputy Scot Peterson was accused Wednesday of something equally fundamental: Bad police work.

A surveillance video of Peterson’s movements outside the school was shown Wednesday to the state commission investigating the massacre, with the video plotted against an animation showing the shooter’s actions and combined with recordings of police radio calls. Peterson, who has been subpoenaed to testify to the commission next month, resigned in disgrace after videos showed he took cover and did nothing to confront the gunman.

During the ordeal inside the freshman building, which left 17 dead, Peterson called over the radio for intersections to be blocked, which members of the commission said was precisely the wrong tactic when an active shooter is busy killing people. He failed to provide an initial radio report about the shootings to the Sheriff’s Office, letting minutes pass in silence. Peterson told officers to stay at least 500 feet from the building.

The correct call during an active shooter situation is for law enforcement officers to charge in after the shooter, said Zack Scott, the Sheriff’s Office detective who showed the video to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, meeting at the BB&T Center in Sunrise.  ...

During the shootings, gunman Nikolas Cruz reloaded five times, which commission members said meant there were opportunities to stop him if Peterson had done his job or others on campus had been armed.  ...

This clown still collects a pension of over $8K per month, according to the story. Broward County is now officially Bizarro World.

Maybe not a Constitutional one, but they sure have a moral one. and if they don't think that, maybe they should think about a different career.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.

The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Am I the only one thinking children named Scott/Scot Peterson/Petersen seem to have a lot of problems as an adult?

'Self-preservation' is the main priority for some cops.

Quote
It has always been a common statement within law enforcement hallways and lineups that our greatest priority and number one goal is that we "all get home safely to our families." At first glance that seems noble and sensible. No officer enters a shift wishing to never see their loved ones again. However, when faced with the darkness and evil of rampage-style killings, that mindset cannot exist within the modern law enforcement ethos.

That is the definition of a coward when one supposedly serves in a law enforcement capacity.

I’m convinced that the only thing on his mind in that moment was his retirement.  He’s collecting a six-figure income from it.

Constitutional duty?  No.  The Constitution does not compel us to do anything.  However, the police absolutely positive do have a duty to protect.  It is simply part of their job description.

Brave Sir Scot ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!")
Yes, brave Sir Scot turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!")
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Scot!
