he waited and he didn t want to go into the school. i just heard this and it s a terrible situation. but we need people that can take care of our children. we re this the going to let this happen again. see, a i m scott peterson. i ve been a police officer for 30 years. i ve been a school resource officer for 25 years. go eagles, anyway. i ve also been an officer at technical center. i m almost on my way out. i m 30 years. there are police officers that have made homes there. you know, they re part of that community. we re all here for the same goal, to protect our kids, protect our property. there he was. that s scott peterson, the deputy who didn t go in. i wanted you to comment on the president s xhens about how these you know, these school deputies don t know, don t love the kids. how do we know that? is that a fair comment? i sure hope we get to hear
law enforcement. yes, we re all talking guns. everybody s talking guns, but the fbi missed the warning, which now now seems minor compared to everything else that has happened where you have local law enforcement officers missing 35, 39 warnings about this this shooter, and then of course the horrifying information that came out last night, there actually was a good guy with a gun at as the president and every nra person will say. there was a law enforcement officer at the school and he didn t go in. in part, i am sure because he was overmatched. now, that s no justification. at 9/11, you were working 9/11, you saw the firemen going in, they knew that they probably wouldn t be coming down that tower.
gun free is an invitation for these crazy people to just come in and shoot. if they re not gun free, if there are guns inside held by the right people, by highly trained professionals, you re going to see this end. it won t be happening anymore. our schools are essentially gun free zones. and that makes them very dangerous places. the parkland sheriff was armed and he didn t go in. does that give you any pause say it, what? the parkland sheriff was armed and he didn t go in, does that give you any pause? deputy sheriff peterson i guess his name is, i mean, they brought it out, i was surprised, but it deserves to be brought out, what he did, he s trained his whole life. there s an example. but when it came time to get in there and do something, he didn t have the courage or something happened. but he certainly did a poor job. there s no question about that. he was there for five minutes,
it s imperative congress take action. talk about insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. we allow 18-year-olds to buy assault rifle weapons. are you kidding me? that we allow anybody to own these weapons in the united states. for what purpose? what s an age limit going to do? i m not giving excuses to the cop that didn t go in and we don t know the rest of the story but what s a pistol going to do when you re up against an ar-15? in the first 40 days of this year we had three deputy sheriffs in three different parts of the state, three separate incidents killed in the line of duty. and that s when you have one of your first responders die it s a tragedy for your state. three in 40 days. and at least in one case, maybe in two cases, their body armor was penetrated because these assault weapons are military grade hardware. it s military grade weapons.
the school is armed with. no excuse. no excuse at all. and i m not making one. i m just saying the whole concept of having teachers armed. it s kind of flies in the face of insanity given what we re about to report. and we re talking about the officer that didn t go in when he had a gun loaded. he had no excuse, just like the fireman went up the stairs at 9/11 but that said this is why law enforcement officers across america say they don t want military-style weapons out there on the street with civilians because they go to a gun fight and it m people with those weapons who have the firepower. during a news conference yesterday the broward county revealed that school resource deputy scot peterson had resigned. peterson was under investigation for failing to enter the school when the gunman opened fire.
