Peterson was allowed to resign with full pension.

Charge him with being a chickenshit pussy?

They should have held off on letting him him quit and then figured out some way to fook him out of the pension.

Yet, like carrion feeders you gorge on the putrid decay of broken dreams and crushed lives. There is NOTHING to be gained by this subpoena except a chance to wrap yourselves in the cloak of righteous indignation and vilify the deputy in person. There is no insight he can offer to ameliorate the situation. Do you really think any body cares what he thought? They certainly didn't seven months ago. He was judged and banished without recourse. I'm not here to defend the deputy. He made his decisions and will have to live with them.

Many own guns; a few are trained in their care and use; fewer are trained in combat at perhaps ten paces or less. Even fewer will ever have to face the reality of personal, intimate life or death combat. Nonetheless, the world is full of self appointed critics and would be heroes who profess what he should have done or what they would have done. None of whom ever shit their pants and had to keep moving forward. I would like to think I know what I might have done, but I wasn't there. I will keep my own counsel.

There is one reality the Sun Sentinel did put forth. After reviewing visual and audio tapes,the paper concluded that there was approximately a thirty four second window during which IF the deputy entered the building, immediately and correctly determined the exact location of the unknown shooter, bounded up the stairs to the third floor and confronted the shooter, he MIGHT have made a difference. Of course they don't mention that nobody knew for sure how many shooters were active with what types of weapons and where the students might be in relation to the shooter. They don't consider that the deputy armed with a hand gun might engage the shooter in crowded hallways. They don't consider the very real prospect of collateral damage. Try this headline: deputy kills student but saves hundreds. How will that look in the community? The media creates the circus and defines the narrative. The actions of the police are simply soft metal to be hammered into the necessary narrative. If you doubt that consider the officer in Ferguson even after "hands up don't shoot" was proven a lie.

This is a tragedy. Lives have been lost; families have been torn apart; people's lives have been changed forever. Our hearts break for those involved. When does the healing begin? When do we forsake the chains of anger and vitriol? When do we stop rising to the bait of bitterness and politics?
