In Parkland, the school resource officer ran the other way and did literally nothing to help the situation.
In Columbine, same story as Parkland.
In Orlando, in contrast, officers immediately pursued the shooter into the club but he retreated into a bathroom and held hostages.  

How can we make sure more cops act valiantly like the Orlando cops?

If cops want us to treat them like heroes, shouldn't they act like heroes?

I think this "get home alive" training needs to stop.  Roofing is a more dangerous line of work than policing.
