The Broward Sheriff’s Office captain who initially took charge of the chaotic scene at a Parkland high school where 17 people were killed, told deputies to form a perimeter around the deadly scene — which they did, instead of going in to confront the shooter, according to a partial BSO dispatch log obtained by the Miami Herald.
Capt. Jan Jordan, commander of BSO’s Parkland district, gave the order, the log shows, identifying her by her police call sign.
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel has said BSO training and nationwide active-shooter procedure call for armed law enforcement officers to confront shooters immediately rather than secure a scene.

Why would anyone think that was a good idea?
Kids were dying inside.

Regardless of any order given, the cop onsite was chicken shlt and unwilling to do his job.
He can retire with full benefits, but he'll live the rest of his life knowing he could have made a difference that day, but sat outside scared.
Before being appointed to command Parkland, Jordan was assigned to BSO’s civil division, which serves subpoenas and injunctions, according to her online biography. She was previously with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, where Israel also worked.

I think the person giving those orders should be fired, I do believe precautions should be taken, but they should have gone inside once a couple of them were on the scene, it was kids getting shot in there, it was not a gang war.

I thought there was more than one officer waiting for the shooting to end. You can't form a perimeter with just one guy/gal.

This whole shooting is bs.
The narrative was spot on to the gun control talking points.
