> [@UCBearcats](#): > > He is a weak coward who is a disgrace not only to the badge he just resigned, but to humanity. He walks away after not doing his job while 17 families bury loved ones and dozens more face numerous injuries and healing time . The way you’re talking it’s as though he shot those kids himself. He’s not responsible for the fact that people can so ridiculously easily get hold of the weapons to do this. That’s the only “disgrace to humanity” here. And it will be the next time. And the time after that. And the next fifty times. If he’d gone in alone, armed with a pistol and no body armor, perhaps he’d be a hero, probably a dead one. I don’t think _not_ acting heroically makes you a disgrace or a coward. It just makes you a normal human being. Nobody should be required or expected to undertake a suicide mission as part of their job. “Our cops aren’t brave enough” is not the problem. But I suppose it’s yet another way to distract from the real issue. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sheriff-officer-resigns-after-florida-shooting/809373)._
