Parkland Officer Who Failed To Engage Mass Shooter Found Not Guilty
About this video
Colion discusses the not-guilty verdict of former Parkland school resource officer Scot Peterson, who did not confront the shooter during the 2018 massacre. He argues that Supreme Court precedent establishes the government has no legal duty to protect citizens, and uses this case to emphasize his position that individuals must take responsibility for their own personal safety rather than relying on police or government protection. Colion criticizes those who cite this incident to argue against armed security in schools while simultaneously advocating for gun restrictions.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that, according to his interpretation of Supreme Court rulings, law enforcement has no legal obligation to protect individuals, even in cases involving school security officers or restraining order violations
- Colion argues individuals cannot predict whether any given officer will act to protect them in a crisis, making it unwise in his view to rely solely on government for personal safety
- Colion contends that citizens should take primary responsibility for their own protection rather than depending on police response, which he frames as unreliable ‘added value’
