'deputy Is A Coward'
To quote Trump the deputy that did not wade into the recent high school shoot 'is at the least a disgrace at the worst a coward'
Now I have recently been watching a series of programs investigating the mass shootings in America and all the trained professionals on there stat that you should not enter as an individual but wait until there are at least 3 armed trained professionals.
So is Trump right is the deputy a coward or a disgrace or did he do the right thing?
The man has now resigned and is being slated by the President - I cannot think what that poor man is going through at them moment.
What are your thoughts please?

I think Trump calling the deputy a coward makes the deputy a scapegoat and takes the heat off the rights and wrongs of too many guns in America, if he was waiting for back up as trained and in 90 seconds not knowing what exactly was going on, like one or more shooters, I don't think he was a coward no more than I think teachers being trained to shoot students wielding...

murray ....I agree.
However U.S does have a "gun culture" right or wrong, so get over it and on that basis, the deputy was employed to protect that particular community and almost by definition didn't do his job (allegedly).
A coward is someone who acts in a way to avoid danger to himself whilst employed in his duties and by that definition he is a coward.
What would I have done? No idea, probably run in the opposite direction BUT would have to accept the definition of cowardice.

Sorry, not read through all the previous posts.
1. The Guard did exactly as he was trained.
2. Three Police Deputies who first arrived did the same.
3. Trump claims he would have been an hero and definitely would have gone in alone.
4. Trump was a draft dodger who stayed at home while other American young men were fighting for their country in Vietnam.

He's hardly exhibited cowardice or a dereliction of duty by waiting for back up to arrive in the same way the Tunisian police did at the time of the 2015 beach massacre. Those pusillanimous weasels deliberately drove in the wrong direction to avoid the carnage that was unfolding.
This deputy simply acted in accordance with his training. It would have been pointless charging in as one man with one weapon, not knowing the scale of what you were up against. Some foolish acts of "heroism" can actually lead to more lives being lost in crossfire.

Yes......I agree that he was doing what he was trained to do...so his lawyer said. So whilst "backup " arrives....say 15mins.....how many more pupils would have been killed? I don't know.
Is the deputy a coward or was he doing what he was trained to do?
I suppose one could argue that he was a coward, doing what he was trained to do.
