| Abstract: | This article from the Atlantic Monthly examines the actions of Scot Peterson, a sheriff's deputy who was present during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. Peterson, who did not enter the building where the shooting occurred, has faced criticism and legal charges. The article raises questions about the training of law enforcement officers in active-shooter situations and the broader issue of police accountability. It also discusses the challenges and complexities of responding to mass shootings and emphasizes the need for effective training and leadership. The article concludes by calling for action and accountability in addressing the issue of active shooters. [Extracted from the article] |
