With body armor, rifle, and ballistics shield, which LEOs had in the school hallway, and GUTS is all it would have taken to waltz into the classroom right onto the shooterā€™s face and take him DOWN.

Iā€™ve trained with Israeli troops, and more importantly been trained by Israeli troops. There is a reason that the Israeli airline El Hal has had 1, thatā€™s right 1, hijacking in itā€™s history (that was in 1968). Itā€™s not politically correct, but they discriminate. If you fit the profile, they WILL jack you the f*ck up. Period. Israel has a certain mindset that we should be willing to entertain.

In my military career, I had the honor to train with or be trained by several allied nations troops. Israel was by far the most hardcore. There are parts of the Israeli mindset that I believe we could/should emulate. If push came to shove and I couldnā€™t be an American citizen, the country that I would want to be a citizen of is Israel and Iā€™m not Jewish

There is a way to protect our children in schools but the problem is twofold. Until, the political will comes to bear this will remain a problem l.

We used to have that

Then in the 70ā€™s-80ā€™s things started to change, fast forward 40 years and weā€™ve come to a point where the safety of the saviors is more important than the safety of ducking 3rd graders.

I know a lot of LEOā€™s due to my K-9 donations and 2nd Amendment advocacy. Personally. None of those I know have had anything but disgust for the ā€œCoward in Browardā€ and the law enforcement response in Uvalde.

They share my thought that itā€™s their job to run toward the fire. Especially when there are children involved.

I know the sheer adrenaline soaked charge that comes from someone threatening my child, or someone elseā€™s children. Iā€™ve lived it. I know how I responded. I believe every LEO I know would respond exactly like me.

There are so many of you on this forum that I know would rise to the occasion if needed. Itā€™s why I donā€™t understand Uvalde. I will never understand it. I can wrap my head around one guy who is in charge being scared or whatever the f*ck he was, I canā€™t wrap my head around all of those who waited though. Or not allowing those who wanted to go in go.
