She made the comment in response to the police's "perimeter and contain" strategy during the 1999 shooting, where officers waited outside for 47 minutes while the attack continued inside. Her full statement was: "If you're going to tell my child to stay put, that you're coming to get her, then either go in there and do something, or take off the uniform and find another job." Key Context The Failed Protocol: At the time, standard police procedure was to establish a perimeter and wait for SWAT teams before entering. This protocol resulted in a significant delay in reaching victims like Lauren Townsend and teacher Dave Sanders. The Columbine Effect: The public outcry following these delays led to a massive shift in law enforcement tactics nationwide. Today, "Immediate Action Rapid Deployment" is the standard, requiring the first arriving officers to immediately enter a building to neutralize an active shooter. Modern Comparisons: This specific quote is frequently resurfaced in discussions comparing the Columbine response to later tragedies, such as the 2022 Uvalde shooting, where police were again criticized for waiting outside while a shooter remained active. ====================== no one has stood up to lafd - except that shill maga lawyer who spouts nonsense to ensure that no guilty party is brought to justice if the damages are $100 billion - then no one in the world has enough money to cover that - except maybe elon musk - so maybe he should be held responsible - why not? - he is the only one that has that kind of money
