40. Huh? LEOs carry guns. Check. LOEs don't leave them loaded and unattended with the

safety off at an elementary school. Not likely going to be a school shooting during their presence there. It was terrible judgment on the cops part.

I've been a teacher when the Police came (for sharing time) or we would go to the Police station. It's a big thrill for all involved. Letting little kids get in the Fire Engine, they loved to get in the cab and control the flashers, but the truck wouldn't be running where an accidental shift of the gears or something could propel it out into the street.

Same inside a patrol car, getting "in touch" is part of the whole idea. Never would they allow a child to even touch a hand weapon. Here, it was that drugs are bad and here's what can happen, etc. Cops are your friends when you behave and can protect you when in trouble...that is the message. I'm sure he was proudly showing off their new technology and unlike a hand weapon, it couldn't be holstered.

When someone is robbing my house or my bank or my convenience store, I expect those officers to come fast and packing heat. Again, it was clearly a mistake and great that no one was seriously injured.

We know plenty of good cop/bad cop stories which is not under discussion. These were good guys this day, but one made an error...they are also human. Don't know why that's so hard to grasp.
