Quoted: I seen this post and it got me thinking....
Quoted: The officers were trying to get into the building. You can see them running in the cell phone video trying to find an open door. Once a door was found and/or the chains were cut entry was made, but it was too late. It is really hard to cut chains on the inside of a door.
We have fought one of the local highschool principals for years over chaining doors for this very reason. He refused to listen to reason. |
1. How would you as a responder get the doors opened in a hurry?
2. How many people /patrol officers carry bolt cutters in there car/truck?
ETA:
3. There are bars for security on the first floor windows ( as is the case in most schools) |
1: doesnt a truck and a chain or tow strap on the other end still work?
hell, i have 2 tow straps and a bungie strap in the Z to pull out other vehicals if its necessary...i'm sure it can take down a nice door also
2: beats me, but i dont
3: yea, a big enough truck still works--w/ or w/out a grill guard
hell, if they improvised, they could have easily ran a car right through the front door, which is worth the time imo to get in to help/save people
guess the bad guys tend to be a little more determined/creative though sometimes

anyone, determined enough can get to where they want to go...its just how messy or how much stuff can be messed up to consider
