Former Parkland School Resource Officer Goes on Trial 

well this is is several years older than Uvalde. Perhaps in the future their will be charges. But in the meantime I think this sends a good message to cops to do their frickin job.

This case will help to set a legal precedent for other cases where officers failed to engage an active shooter resulting in loss of life. If this guy is found guilty of negligence then so may the officers in Uvalde.

both should have punishment, despite the fact that they set themselves up as police officers they have become negligent in their duties and people died because of it.

​@@spraydolls222 so a person unarmored and alone is being punished?

@@everythingpony why even be unarmed

YES 👏👏👏

Yes. All of them should be in trial.

Arredondo

​@@Njbear7453You can't lock up a whole police battalion. Can you?

Agreed

That's exactly what happened.

I blame the shooter.

everyone has some responsibility for what happened, but Peterson cowardice and incompetence makes him the second most responsible person behind only the shooter

Don’t do a big boy job if you aren’t a big boy. He knew kids depended on him when he took this job, he should’ve considered the risks when he took it.

@@rttnmlk9013 this cop was just there for a easy, cozy, do nothing six figure salary.

I blame the lax regulation of the 2nd Amendment.

Per supreme court, police have no obligation to protect

@@matthewm9261 irrelevant, but true.

​@Simon Gonzales Tell that to the Uvalde Officers.

Nah he need to go to jail

@@mcdragon0123 they cowards and should go to jail too😂😂

then don't be a cop

​@@lordhumongous4272most cops aren't by themselves. They have backup

@@Pagemaster22193 AGAIN!!!! KIDS WERE BEING KILLED. What is wrong with your brain?

​@@lordhumongous4272I know very well kids were being killed, so did he. You can tell it's still killing him inside. That doesn't take away the truth of what I said. He was one man against an unknown threat. In all likelihood he would have died as well and nothing would have changed.

​@@Pagemaster22193 They're more he could've done rather than try to avoid the shooter like he currently was.

right

Didn’t the US Supreme Court rule Cops aren’t obligated to risk their lives to save the public ?

He's a school cop big difference. He was expecting fights and tagging and drugs not getting into a gun fight with some kid with a death wish

He's a school officer, not a real officer. There's a difference in what he is trained to do, and he has every right to be afraid when the incident happened.

​@gabrielgalaxygh if he's not meant to be in possible gun fights, why does he have a gun? Stop trying to defend a COP who doesn't fulfill the duties of a cop.

Well said. Don't care how long he's in jail for as long as he gets a felony. That felony will prevent him from handling a gun since he's clearly not up to using it anyway.

I stand by what I say, yes I’m in no doubt how sorry I am for the ones who lost their lives. He must have felt threatened and there is nothing to say if he went in he may have been killed too as well as all of the other victims leaving another victim and family distraught.

Being a cowards isn't a crime

@@idkanymore1298 Exactly,. not sure what legal charges he's on trial for. There's no crime in that, the only action would be from the department he works for.

Job description doesn’t include “sacrificing your life”.

Ur weird

Being a coward.

​@@Krypton853 So the Uvalde Department of Texas also committed a crime?

Not doing his job

I think criminal negligence.

Guess what don't be a police officer if you old

@Tony Montana that too but still blame the fbi for letting this happen

@@sethisevilone02 blame everyone not just fbi

Some want to blame everything except for the guns, relaxed laws to own a firearm, etc!

They want to find people to blame

Easy doesn't become a police officer

If you're a school cop, yes.

His job is to PROTECT and serve. He failed to do that. He deserves all the blame he gets.

Alright let's see you do that then. Here's a good way to prove it, go enlist as a volunteer for Ukraine and go fight there Mr. Armchair Officer

@troyforce2 LIKE YOU WOULD KNOW. 🤔

That doesn't mean he should face charges

tell that to the supreme court according to them this is an innocent man 🤷🏻

Brian, you don’t know wtf you’re talking about. The supreme court ruled that they can’t be sued for failing to intervene….it never said anything about preventing criminal charges

Cops don't get hazardous pay

yeah ... thats why he was there

Ya we as taxpayers expect that or don't be a cop its real simple

He's a cop tasked with protecting those kids. Protect them, or die trying.

@@user-dw1ls3rp1l THANK YOU!

@@spencerathearn3586 THANK YOU!

Civilians: "protect and serve!" Cops: "maybe"

Yup, they just want the badge to get away with their own fuckery

Shocker you can't force someone to sacrifice themselves for you!

@@idkanymore1298 Then they shouldn't take the job. Nobody is forcing them to be a cop.

​@@idkanymore1298 we that with our military what u talking about

True

​@@lesliewheeler7071 Was he by himself? They should be talking to the Uvalde Department instead of this guy.

Then he shouldn't be a cop. His job is protect those kids. He failed to do that and now has to face consequences.

He's a coward, but last I heard, that's not a crime.

What did the shooter have for defense and what did he have I mean really?

And also not more details if hes dead. Having a pistol agains somone wit a ar (idk wich Guns were used but kinda wich type) is like bringing a knife to a sword fight. And also you cant help others if you die..this aint a videogame were you even with a pistol can taken out many enemies with a ar. Or Just one.

He didn't go in when the other officer arrived. He still stayed outside.

Then don’t be a officer

@@sakeerahmenelas5678 Fire the entire police department.

Right. He maybe armed but those guns can be faulty. If he went in they would have said he died a hero and moved on. They would not have cared in the end.

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT! YES! HE INSTRUCTED OTHER OFFICERS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE BUILDING! WTF! 😠😡🤬

He was an officer who failed to protect students

If you have kids that died In a horrific way, I'm sure you wouldn't think the way you're thinking. You would be feeling angry looking for answers and looking for someone to blame.

Dont become a cop if youre scared

@@zombieoverlord65 YES

@@Krypton853 THANK YOU

Agreed it's sad all around honestly.

When you think about it....yeah we kind of do lol.

Yeah. He probably did not even know where the shooter was. Even if he did go in and died because of the crappy gun they give him. Would they have actually cared. Or he becomes another unfortunate victim.

Amen. This trial is an injustice and a waste of tax payer money.

​@@Shastasnow agreed

Lol excuses excuses.

Cluelessness that results in loss of life is pretty much the definition of criminal negligence. If he can prove that he wasn't properly trained, then he doesn't bear sole responsibility.

Not a criminal, but surely a coward.

But he took the job to protect those kids. He's just like those Uvalde Police officers.

​@@Krypton853 I guess he never know what you'll do in that situation. You think you'll do one thing and then you do another. The police should have went in address the killer killed the killer

@Lincoln Lloyd Redley more like a coward with a gun

@@Krypton853 Difference is that he is a school officer with a very different amount of training compared to police officers. You realize that there's a difference between officers, right?

@@cobbletarts stop doing drugs. You sound crazy and very much misinformed. He is a police officer. Stay in school. You need it

HOW ABOUT DO BOTH? YES, THERE NEEDS TO BE GUN LEGISLATION. THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY NOT JUST OF THIS DUDE, BUT THE ENTIRE COWARD COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING!

I agree. Why can't we ban assault style weapons from public use. Oh wait they don't because of the 2nd amendment

Shoulda retired then

First of all, even the bravest of our armed forces have froze in the middle of battle while pinned down. You can't just speak for someone else's frame of mind when faced with fear of death. We all have a flight or fight mechanism in our brains and this guy had no back up, no idea of what or how many shooters there were..and don't try to tell me I'm wrong or what you think you would do because you don't. My husband joined the army 3 months before 9/11 and deployed several times. We lost countless friends, brave men and women in combat. Some who survived including my children's father came back with horrible stories, trauma you know nothing about. Some froze out of complete terror and had to be rescued because of it and they have never been the same. They were not cowards and to say otherwise is despicable

He should retire. I am sure he has worked all his life.

@@Shastasnow and I see you like making excuses for a coward.

No way his pension is that massive lol.

@@micchaelsanders6286 I know. That's almost 100k a year.

Look up criminal negligence and culpability.

@@user-cn4nt4vh6k This is neither of those things..

So if a doctor is bAd aT h1s j0b and kills someone, he should not face any consequences? 😂

If your child was one of the dead ones that day you wouldn´t say things like this. I know you answer "yes I would" but think twice, it´s alright.

@@TheJimbo1791 No. It's beyond ignorant and delusional. You're blaming the wrong person lmao

You need to prove he caused any deaths, in which you can't.

He hid instead of saving students, which was literally his job

​@@CNYTE that's not illegal? It's not illegal to be bad at your job

@@FutureConsiderations he didn't cause their death. The deranged gunman did lmao

When was it illegal to do your job badly? If he went in I will bet my house that we would be saying,”what a brave man, but he could have waited for help to arrive.”

​@@peps1943 exactly

He participated in active shooter training for years, though.

Go to prison for what not putting his life at risk that's not right

He shouldn't get arrested for being a coward if you got arrested for being a coward Donald Trump would be doing a life sentence
