Interesting tidbits I learned from an active shooter training

 

Plus one thing at the bottom I forgot about Texas

1. Statistically speaking a shooter in a k through 12 setting will probably be white.

2. A shooter at a college or university will probably not be white and will be suicidal.

3. The days before Columbine The strategy was to set up a perimeter inside or outside the shooting site.

After Columbine the regular law enforcement routine was to suit up one police officer in double bulletproof vests and then wait for a second partner to arrive.

After Sandy Hook this stopped because now we know that a shooter has about 6 minutes before someone will stop him?

So now the routine is for the first person there to suit up and run in and find the shooter and kill him and do nothing about anybody who is hurt or bleeding or anything.

There was a shooting a few weeks ago at a shopping mall or something and this is what a police officer did... He was trained to run in with his pistol and just find the shooter. But he died.

4. When police officers stop you for a traffic violation they routinely touch your car and specific place just in case something goes down and their fingerprint will be on your car

5. The Houston Police department is the only police department in the US that has a separate mental health division for its officers.

6. If you are being attacked and have no weapon nearby. Try to find a fire extinguisher and shoot it into the assailants eyes and then hit them on the head with it. Or grab a pen and go right for the guy's eyes.

As for Texas, I forgot to say that Houston is the only city I know of where in the city itself they have a great camping site for kids... And they also have farms of cows. It's weird
 

The subtlety here is that you’re becoming a houstonian.?

"wait has Dan been living in Houston for a lot of years?"

the difficult policy calculus "damned if you do/damned if you don't" of the cop being killed who rushed in to find the active shooter - highlights how little value there is to the "well if many people are armed, we'll be safer" argument - when in a couple of minutes, before any response is usually possible, so many innocents are so easily slaughtered, with the ease of ownership of automatic/semi-automatic guns ....

not trying to be too much of a San Diego homer but it has a camping area in the middle of the city (next to Balboa Park), i don't know how good it is because off-limits unless authorized, with the Boy Scouts or something
