"To Protect and Serve".......
1500 EMT (Police and medical) personnel were on the scene at Columbine. To the best of my knowledge, none of those 1500 received a scratch!

Police tactics

One significant change to police tactics following Columbine is the introduction of the Immediate Action Rapid Deployment tactic, used in situations with an active shooter. Police followed the traditional tactic at Columbine: surround the building, set up a perimeter, contain the damage. That approach has been replaced by a tactic which takes into account the presence of an active shooter whose interest is to kill, not to take hostages. This tactic calls for a four-person team to advance into the site of any ongoing shooting, optimally a diamond-shaped wedge, but even with just a single officer if more are not available. Police officers in this tactic are trained to move toward the sound of gunfire and neutralize the shooter as quickly as possible.[49] Their goal is to stop the shooter at all costs, and they are to walk past wounded victims, as the aim is to prevent the shooter from killing or wounding more. The active protocol has proved successful at numerous shootings during the past decade. At the Virginia Tech massacre, it probably saved dozens of lives.[50]

A lot of us in Minnesota are soooooooooo relieved Candide. Really.

THat son of a bitch could have been another Harry Truman. He could have raised holy hell on that committee against Cheney's company and all the other graft going on in that war. I almost think he should be prosecuted for war crimes. How much did he make off of all this?

Oh, and not to get too personal. But your medical blog reminds me. Give us a heads up on your wife,will ya. I mean everything is ok and everything.

That 12000 dollars = 700 is hard to forget. hahahaha
