2.) Post columbine that's not the protocol for an active school shooter.  They developed tactics that ideally a team of 4 but even a LONE OFFICER should enter the facility and address the perp.  

Establishing a perimeter is for hostage situations.

Well I'll be glad to demonize him.

You have a guy who's sole job is to protect the students. The one time he needed to perform his taxpayer-subsidized job he cowered outside. Contrast that with the heroic football coach, Aaron Feis, who confronted the killer (who henceforth should be called [BLEEP] #14) unarmed. Had Mr. Feis had a gun he would have saved a lot of lives.

There were three other BSO deputies who arrived while the gunfire was still going on and also cowered outside. Does the Broward County Sheriff actively train his deputies to be cowards, or did all four decide that individually? And after a total failure by BSO the sheriff is asking for more power. Pure Chutzpah.

I'd guess that the reason the Broward Coward was assigned to the school was that he was too incompetent to perform normal police duties. Government employees can never be fired for mere mundane incompetence, so, stuck with him, they found a job where they thought he'd be out of the way. Perhaps the FBI person who ignored the warning was also unfireable.
