Totally agree:
During an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Demings told moderator Margaret Brennan that since the Columbine massacre in Littleton, Colo., in 1999, law enforcement officers have been trained to respond to and defuse an active shooter situation.
The Florida Democrat called for a investigation into the response by Texas law enforcement, the details of which changed dramatically over the course of last week, with officials acknowledging police did not confront the shooter until more than an hour after the rampage began.
“Well, what we must demand is a thorough and complete investigation,” Demings told Brennan.
“We all know post-Columbine, there is no time to waste, that the officers on that scene are expected to go into those active shooter situations. We trained on it at the Orlando Police Department, and every sworn member, including the chief of police, went through the active shooter training,” Demings added. “So, obviously, that did not happen.”
Demings also said more questions than answers remain about the police response to the shooting.
“We have to make sure that it is as clear and as accurate as possible. So there’s a lot of work to do there,” Demings said. “We have certainly more questions than answers, and I know that we’re gonna get to the bottom of it.”
FYI, she is also calling for this as well:
Want to know what U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R. FL) has been up to?
A “Drag Queen Story Time” for young children of servicemembers was called off after a letter from Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) demanded the military branch cancel its “sexually charged” event.
The story time was scheduled to take place at an Air Force library at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany.
In a letter to U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, Rubio said, “the last thing parents serving their nation overseas should be worried about… is whether their children are being exposed to sexually charged content simply because they visited their local library.”
In the letter, Rubio expressed the importance of U.S. military installations such as commissaries, pharmacies, schools, and libraries — especially outside the continental United States — but criticized Ramstein AFB for holding rituals like “Drag Queen Story Time.”
“I urge you to immediately cancel this politically divisive event, and take appropriate disciplinary action against all involved in allowing this gross abuse of taxpayer funding to place children in a sexualized environment,” Rubio wrote.
The Senator also called for disciplinary actions to be taken against the staff responsible for planning the event and demanded the Air Force respond to questions about whether other installations, both at home and around the world, have done similar events.
