Having said that, as a warrior, I think that the job of the SRO in the event of an active shooter is to call in the SITREP, defend the students to the last round and then go down swinging.
I do not want anyone who does not believe that to be securing the schools of my kids. In fact, that should be part of the requirements and inbrief for an SRO.
Firing a few rounds and abandoning your post (and kids) to run from a couple of untrained punks is cowardice.
There, I said it.

I agree with you 110%. No arguments whatsoever.
My only point was that we shouldn't all be judged by what a DARE cop does or doesn't do.... At my PD, we have full time traditional SWAT, a separate SWAT element that does nothing but high risk search warrants, Fugitive Apprehension Units, Gang, Undercovers, Proactive patrols, etc....... and then we have full time DARE, GREAT, PAL, blah, blah, blah....
Guess where the type "A" personalities end up? It isn't in DARE. LOL
As a matter of fact, if you look at a DARE roster, it is often a list of "never been anywhere, never done anything, laziest mf'ers" from the PD. It is pathetic that they still have a job.
I make no excuses for them, and agree with your points.... I only ask that all LE not be cast into their catogory.
