发帖数: 1 | 1 This time, experts in the U.S. say police's decision to wait before
confronting the gunman at Rob Elementary School in Uwald was a failure and
had disastrous consequences. By the time it was all over, 19 students and 2
teachers had died.
When 18-year-old Salvador Ramos committed the attack while in the classroom,
19 law enforcement officers stood outside the school's classrooms for about
50 minutes, waiting to get the keys to the classroom. Meanwhile, children
in the classroom repeatedly called 911 and asked for help, Texas officials
said.
Sol Els, executive director of the Tactical Officers Association, said the
commander's resolve was "100 per cent flawed". He said the roadblocks
required police to slow down their response and analyse whether the
perpetrator was willing to negotiate. "If you're in a classroom with
innocent victims and I know someone has shot, I need to reach out to you.
Even if you stop shooting, I'll go into the room and provide assistance to
any potential victims," 鈥嬧Eh said. Les said. But the police's hesitant
response runs counter to the accepted and universally taught active shooter
protocol established after the 1999 Columbine school shooting.
How Columbine is changing the way police respond to mass shootings, said law
enforcement analyst Jonathan Vacrow: "Even under attack, police are trained
to deal with threats and should act decisively because every second counts.
Important." "But what we're seeing here is that delays cost kids their
lives."
As the Columbine shooting unfolded, Colorado police waited about an hour
after gunfire at the school, SWAT teams arrived, during which time two young
men killed 13 people. Before Columbine, law enforcement officers were
typically trained in tactical principles called ICE, which included
isolation (suspects), containment (suspects), and evacuation (on-the-scene).
After participating in the ICE protocol, police will ask a specialized unit
of the Tactical SWAT team to respond to and engage with a suspect or
suspect, according to Els. The Columbine shooting has forced law enforcement
to refocus on the shooter's situation.
The 2013 shooting at a Colorado high school showed how quick police
responses can make a huge difference. The shooting happened within two
minutes, during which a male high school student lit a Molotov cocktail and
opened fire with his pump-action shotgun at the school, killing a 17-year-
old girl. School shootings in Colorado - ended in 80 seconds but the attack
could have resulted in more casualties had it not been for a swift response
from a deputy sheriff who works as a school resource officer at the school,
CNN previously reported . Upon learning of the threat, the deputy ran to the
gunman, claiming to be the county deputy sheriff, and told people to get
out of the car. While he was in control of the scene, the gunman committed
suicide.
Texas officials said all law enforcement officers in Texas are trained to
deal with frequent shootings. But they have a training manual that states: "
The officer's first priority is to enter and engage the attacker head-on.
This may include bypassing the injured and not responding to children's
cries for help." The list of safety priorities will guide police at that
time. member's role. The decision to wait in the hallway instead of breaking
through classroom doors puts innocent civilians at risk while benefiting
shooters. But the police officers in this incident have been standing in the
corridor, even when they are evacuating children, they should take the
initiative to contact the suspect and try their best to save lives, not wait
. So it's not a matter of one or two police officers, but something wrong
with the American system. |
