I just saw this on the news, and it is a huge pile of steaming WTF.
He's resigned.
The elected sheriff looked PISSED.
And I'm left shaking my head. It kinda guts any argument about armed volunteers. Or at least, opens up to the liberals the "If a police officer won't even intervene...."
ETA:
The NBC report was that he was outside the building where shooter was, went to one of the exits while the shooter was shooting, and then covered that exit. While shots were being fired inside.
To Jim Lucas's comments on FB. It proves you shouldn't rely on someone else to protect you. Multiple ways to 'spin' it. Sad that a officer didn't do his/her job if that is the case.
