Could you please share your training and background to give us a perspective on your statement?

I apologize if I have offended you.

I didn't want to draw a giant flow chart of when to charge, retreat, shoot, reload. You don't need an MG-42 or that volume of fire to force your target to take cover. Obviously tactics change based on the immediate circumstances, and as the 4 rules of gun safety dictate. Pinning and flanking are basic squad tactics, that really don't take much skill.

Otherwise, I fully agree with you.

Absent a Squad/Team, it would indeed take some serious skills to win the fight.

You are completely correct to think that charging in alone with a pistol against a rifle is extraordinarily dangerous. Perhaps fatal. A person would need serious skills to win that fight.

You really do not need skills in that situation, and you, singular, do not need to win that fight. You need training like what society pays professionals for. In that position your job is to get in the fight, and pin your target down. That is, force him to stop shooting at children and take cover. Hopefully the rest of your team is maneuvering for the kill. Even if 'you' get pinned instead, that is still time that you have robbed from the shooter and delivered to your team --and others like children who need to run away.

Please forgive my use of the second person. Just used for emphasis!

Mr Peterson will have the rest of his life to convince himself he actually did a good job.

Seems like he will have plenty of free time and plenty of beer money too, courtesy of Jon and Jane Q Taxpayer.

It's fairly obvious that the dude was only there to collect a paycheck. The first change the new Sheriff should make is to rotate people in the SRO position. No more cush jobs for the worn down or "old."
