Running away does not mitigate an armed threat, only that it may now be an ambush, hostage situation or anything worse then now.
Running away is the liberal BS of don't shoot unless "you have been shot first". It ranks right along side of MA's law that put a young mother in jail because she killed a home intruder without first trying to run away. Her out, a small basement window and her child was still upstairs unguarded. Mother still went to jail. They claimed she should have climbed through the window, with him in the room, and ran for help. "No life is worth property" according to the anointed, but tell that to a parent whose child is left behind. Oh yes, that law is still on the books in lovely Mass.
I will buy those guys a drink. They have caught enough hell from Monday morning quarterbacks.

The kid had a gun on school premises which pretty much answers the question for me. Based on the information available at present, I don't believe the cops had any other choice than the tough choice they made.
But most everyone is a bit puzzled by Buffalo Bobs response, and I am just saying, I can see where some would have an issue if the kid was shot in the back. We are already condemning the kid and patting the cops on the back for a job well done, and we don't even know the facts yet.......And there have been those rare instances where brotherhood and loyalty cover up the facts and someones ass.
Not that is what BB had in mind when he made his post, but it crossed my mind that some might view it in such light
