A first responder to the Parkland school shooting claims he was told to stand down and not enter the building to recover victims, which he believes would have saved lives.

  • “Everything I was trained on mass casualty events says they did the wrong thing. You don’t wait for the scene to be cleared. You go in immediately armed. Retrieve the victims. You can’t leave the victims laying there.”
    .
    “We were asking to go in. Asking the scene commander to go in. Why are we all standing around? Why are we not having patients to treat? Why are we not going into the building and retrieving these kids? The response every time was law enforcement did not clear the scene and would not allow medical personnel in.”
    .
    “I would hypothesize

I could have saved lives

Very odd...it's almost as if...
...no..that's just crazy.

Sort:  

It's like they wanted to high fatality count to report in the news

that's kinda paranoid isn't it?
Is it paranoid ENOUGH?

So much lapses everywhere. What is happening to America? This is not what they show us in movies.

they movies lie..
they always have but it's gotten a LOT worse since the seventies.

I believe USA can live without a gun. It should've done. Why the people need these machine gun? It looks like a battle field. So sad.

what machine gun?

Please do not take it wrong. In my country, it's not allowed to possess a gun.
Whenever I heard this kind of tragic news from TV, the guns took many people's life. So, in my point of view, all guns looks like a machine gun. No target and just trigger to anybody. Basically, I agreed your point but my expression comes from my experience.
Please give your favorable understanding on it.

you're master's won't allow you to own a gun?

without the gun the USA would be called the UK.

well if they ran in there and stopped the shooter too quick or if the medics saved too many lives then we wouldn't have a tragic mass shooting to spur gun control legislation.

Have never heard of clearing scene first before retrieving victims..somthing fishy is going on somwhere..

After seeing everything behind this massacre, one wonders how many more cases there will be where all the security mechanisms failed? I do not think that this is a case in point, other cases must be happening in other places, but maybe they do not come to public light...
