first, best, biggest!

.. couldn't get any more disgusting.

"I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon,”

Yeah... cadet bonespurs thinks he would have run anywhere to help someone who isn't him or his children.

If you believe for a second this person who has shown zero interest helping people, has shown zero interest in ever doing anything requiring physical danger, would suddenly decide it's time to start... you're deluding yourself.

It's like this orange moron can't help but make things about himself.

pretty sure he'd insist on a huuuuge symbol

I heard his wig is made out of Kevlar and the terminator was loosely based on his life.

yep...the Broward County Sheriff is coming under intense fire because four of their deputies on scene near the start of the incident, when shots were fired and students were being killed, did not enter...

local city PD officers saw them sitting back and called them out...


since Columbine, all PD's have changed their tactics in response to active shooters...PD no longer takes cover and wait for SWAT...

the new SOP is to enter, ideally in a team of three officers (this aspect of the training allows the single resource deputy an out, until two other deputies/other PD arrived on scene), rapidly locate and stop the shooter...training requires a single-minded approach, ignore casualties or other needs...just engage and stop the shooter...hard to imagine that the Broward County Sheriff didn't do that training and adopt that policy/SOP...if so, they are in a heap of trouble and exposed to a big liability loss...

There's also questions about a possible 'Stand Down order...

Odd folks are using the armed folks doing nothing as proof we need more armed folks.

At least we know Vic would have been cowering behind a wall with the other armed officers, doing nothing.

I'm not egotistical enough to think I know what I would have done in that situation. I leave the empty bravado of idiots with no experience in a situation to people like the president.

Funny, that someone with no knowledge of me would think they know what I would have done in a situation I've never been in. That's like empty bravado squared....

BTW, while we're talking about how the president has acted in other situations where there was an issue....

The title is overly dramatic, I don't think there was ever any evidence the person died... but our heroic president, who would have heroically charged into a hail of bullets to save children, heroically walked away from a bleeding guy as fast as his bone spurs and poor cardio health could let him.

Towards the subject at hand:

File this one away with Marky Mark's claim that he'd have bested the terrorists on 9/11 if he was a passenger.

It's ridiculous at best.

It's an embarrassing thing for the POTUS to claim.

Not to mention, I don't believe it for a minute. He'd be hiding behind the cop who was hiding behind the car.

Which is fine. Until you claim otherwise.

You've stated quite clearly a number of times who you would attack and why. Guess it's easier for you to say when you know they are unarmed.

LMAO!

Guess everyone would "feel better" is the Prez had said he would hide behind a wall like the armed officer did, and do nothing?
Love the double-standard!

No. We would "feel better" if the president acted like an adult.

there was zero reason for him to say what he "believed" he would have done. It was a prepared speech.

He could have said anything.

He chose to say he would have charged in there unarmed to protect those children.
Dude can't even be bothered to go and help a bleeding guy who fell over because he can't stand the sight of blood (this from his own interviews)... and he wants us to believe he's going to be half the man the football coach was.

If you didn't want a president who would act like a ridiculous side-show in everything he did... maybe you shouldn't have elected someone who clearly exhibited those traits in the primaries.

This shouldn't be a surprise to you. And blaming people for talking about the stupid sh#t he does is ridiculous

Too bad for you.
Just don't pee your panties when people don't take you seriously.
Because this was a perfect opportunity to criticize Donald Trump and instead you come across as a drooling dolt.

Perfect opportunity because it's basically non-political. And it speaks to his character, or lack thereof.
It's not hearsay and his words aren't being twisted.
He didn't say "I'd like to think that I'd run in there". He said that he "really believes" he would.

And maybe that's true. (that he believes it)

But you're incapable of having that discussion.

Donald can run?

Never said HE didn't believe it.

Just don't think he can run is all.

He's ALMOST running here...more of a WOG.

Mattie B, here's the thing,
I understood the sentiment when he said that. I personally, based on what I believe his character to be, think it's only wishful thinking on his part but, who knows...?

I wouldn't have given that comment a second thought until he added how disgusting the deputy's nonreponse was. That's where he lost me.
The deputy imo doesn't need to be scapegoated and publically shamed.
There are many reasons the event happened. Why slam this one man.
It's always going to haunt and follow the guy around his entire life either way.
Do we need him to kill himself?

It's the Trumpian-type outburst that bugged me.
Let him without sin.....

... And God knows that ain't Trump

Mattie... it was a situation where he could have kept his pursed little mouth shut.

As I said earlier, I think anyone who makes a claim about how they would have done better in a situation like that, is a blowhard. Unless they have been in that sort of situation, I doubt anyone knows. I bet that same cop he's criticizing would have said the same thing he said.

I don't believe anyone's claim they would be the hero in that sort of situation, unless they've been in something similar. Hell, I'd go one further... I have less faith in the sort of person who would make that sort of ridiculous braggartly claim.

It's just one more time the president has shown us that he's not a 10th the man he thinks he is, and isn't half the man your average person is.

Mattie... I don't think you're stupid enough to run toward an active shooter unarmed. It isn't brave, it's suicidal.

I think Trump's bravado is ill-timed, and childish. Not surprised by it, though.

how many more times before "not surprised" changes from shrug to enough already?

getting used to it should not be an option.

Be President, you have 3 more years, stop this daily embarrassing crap.

MACS
Even though we have never met, I have a ton of respect for you. With your service background and being buddies with 8track, I can’t be wrong in my opinion.

I don’t see it as suicidal. I see it as maybe causing enough pause to allow others to escape. Yeah, I may catch a round....but could I stop a few rounds from flying.....I don’t know.

I can’t say what I’d do and hope to never learn. But I’d like to believe I’d do my best to stop it.

The worst thing is Trump making it about Trump.

...a president should govern OUR country.

Then let him.
Stop with the unworthy crap.

" and one witness disputed Trump’s account. “A lot of people were surprised that he got out to see what was happening,” Kathleen Romeo, a student at the time, told The Daily News. She claims the man with the bat ran away just before Trump got there. Trump then “just looked around and went back into his limo,” Romeo said."


"Another witness, however, supported Trump’s version. “All of a sudden, a big long limousine pulls up on an angle, and Donald Trump pops out with the blond, too,” an unnamed witness told The Daily News. “There was a guy with a bat, hitting a guy over the head, and Trump yelled, ‘Put that bat down. What are you doing?’ The guy dropped the bat, came over and started talking to him.”"

One named witness who disputes it, another "unnamed witness" who supports it. And you're calling that evidence. No police report, despite a guy getting hit over the head multiple times with a baseball bat. ... I would expect at least a coroners report... you know... multiple hits to the head with a baseball bat (wooden, given the year)...

Gotta agree. I can't stand the man. But until he does something that Congress would impeach him for, I cringe and root for him to be 'successful'...however that may get measured
