    The article says:

    “RUN-HIDE-FIGHT.”

    Are they seriously saying that to students?? What does that mean, when faced with an armed gunman?

        While the Ulvade police are obviously dogshit, better police didn’t mean a better outcome for Sandy Hook, because better police isn’t the answer.

        You’re functionally suggesting there is an acceptable amount of time for a gunman to be shooting at children that’s greater than 9 minutes but less than an hour and a half.

      I got that training when I was a university student a while back. Officer Friendly came and showed us a video about it in the seminar room.

      When you hear gunshots, you’re supposed to run away (if it seems safe), or hide somewhere and barricade yourself in (if you can’t run), or try to surprise and fight off the gunman (if you think your hiding spot is about to be discovered).

      I asked if I should run in a straight line or in a zigzag pattern or something. The officer said it’s best to run for cover. I asked what to do if there was no cover. I forget what the advice for that situation was. I think the officer said people’s aim sometimes isn’t that great.

      I guess it’s better than freezing and waiting to die.
