If the man that you hired to protect you runs away when needed in a life or death situation, would you be upset?

  In the Stoneman Douglas school shooting the on-campus deputy, Scott Peterson ran away when needed the most.  

  On February 14, 2018, the most deadliest shooting took place at Stoneman Douglas High School, the shooting that took away 17 lives, was one of the worst shootings in the U.S.

Peterson, 54, started working for Broward County Sheriff’s office in 1985 and since 2009 he has been a school resource officer which is to keep the school and students safe.

   In active shooter procedure, law enforcement officers are trained to go towards the active shooter. Peterson was on school ground that day in the office handling school matters. When the shooting started he arrived at the building, took a position and never went inside the school.

  “He never went in,” Sheriff Israel said he also said the video of the deputy Peterson showed him doing “nothing.”

   As humans, it’s normal to be afraid but as a deputy trained to protect the school and the student’s in it, you should have took charge and did something, maybe a little more lives would have been saved if deputy Peterson went in the school during the shooting.
