#10  Nobody's fault but the shooter.

That said. That is what the training is for.

Maybe, there is some sort of podcast?

#9  Regarding after action plan, the officer on scene ordered them to not follow the standard plan. They were in place super-fast and then stood there. The door was unlocked, they had ballistic shields, they waited until it was over. Heads should roll.

#8  So. Who was chief in contact with this entire time?

Looks like every decision point was a critical failure.

#7  Accountability demands consequences when failure occurs. That does not happen in our gummint, constabulary or corporate worlds anymore. They make a show of still having it in the military, but it's not all on the up-and-up there.

#6  You know, the whole After Action/Lessons Learned thing.

Been there. However when dealing specifically with heath, safety, and life, there is no 'dealing' with those who f'up except by example.

#4  Maybe it is just me, but I'd less concerned with who f**ked up which part of this mess and more about what they could have done to get a better outcome and what they would do differently next time. You know, the whole After Action/Lessons Learned thing. At the end, you'd have a 3-ring binder with all those important little details like where to get master keys, who to call, and who is running the show - stuff you don't want to try and figure out on the fly.

Also, a bunch of people should be reconsidering their career choices and looking for something more suitable to their abilities and temperament.

#3  Funny how the rash of gun incidents has suddenly come to a halt.

Copy cats out there? Maybe. But I smell a rat...or a fish.
