Blanchard Elementary Student gets ahold of (and fires) resource officers gun at school

[Rez Exelon]

I haven’t kept up with this thread, but from what I’m reading here, they’re blaming the gun and not the fact that Barney had his head up his @ss and let a kid raccoon finger his gun and pull the trigger. This sure seems like yet another case of cops covering for cops.

That sums it up quite nicely.

Raccoon finger his gun! I could see a raccoon doing that so, thanks for the laugh this morning.

This surely puts to bed the debate about arming teachers, right? I mean if this could happen to a HIGHLY trained professional officer, how could a teacher or administrator EVER hope to safely carry in a school?

There are a bunch of schools here in east TX that have armed teacher and administrators, and I’ve never heard of a single issue.
I have little use for school rent a cops. My wife’s school has 3 now, and she said they spend their day hanging out in the school office flirting with the secretaries.

Is their carry gun a light mounted Sig? Break room flirting may be how to protect the kids the best.

In our town the school resource guys are city cops. Not a guarantee or anything, but at least an actual LEO. The few I know have kids in the school system (not their school), which I think is good.

I have no idea what they carry, but they all wear the whole costume including the bullet proof vest every day. They even just added a drug dog to their “department”, but it’s a 10 week old Lab pup named Waylon.

Nice, I'd take Waylon.

Nice, I'd take Waylon.

My bet is the “chief” wanted a dog and figured out how to get the school district to pay for it.

Yeah, I chuckled at the thought of that too.

I call seconds! Damn those lab puppies are cute.
