Meet the Washington school district that arms administrators in case of active shooters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- As tragic as the recent mass shootings are, history suggests they will happen again. A school district in Eastern Washington says if the unthinkable happens there, it’s ready to meet force with force.
The Spotlight finds out what school is like when the staff is strapped. Plus, David gets shot with sim rounds by real cops during an active shooter drill. And we meet a hardworking man who was trying to enjoy a burger after working a double, when carjackers opened fire costing him an eye.
Glad to see he takes the security of his kids serious enough to take actions instead of pay lip service.
The people who would "Use them incorrectly" dont give a DAMN about laws!
Exactly!! That is what none of these smooth brained people understand !! They can ban guns completely and the criminals will be the only ones with guns running everything, robbing law abiding citizens because they will know they aren't armed.
Criminals do not follow laws, I wish people would understand this but they are so programed by the MSM.
The Uvalde shooter respected the law to wait until he was 18 to buy an AR-15. He gave a damn about the laws. What do you say to that?
Exactly!!!!
@@erockromulan9329 oh yeah. He cared about the laws. Guess he missed it where murder and shooting people/kids is illegal dong dong.
Exactly
WOW! Look, a school that is actually takes student safety seriously, is prepared and knows their safety plan! I fully support this, schools nationwide could adopt this and save children or prevent school shootings all together but NOPE they rather scream about gun laws/gun control.... as if the criminals follow laws....
This is child safety done right.... this could be done TOMORROW in school everywhere but politicians don't really care or they would.
I like the school baseball bats too
Yes. It brings the locus of control back into the hands of school admin.
I would be supportive of this program. It's a faster response to keeping children and staff members alive. I love the partnership with the police department. All solutions should be considered. Anything to save children and staff. Prayers for everyone! 💜💚✝️🙏🌍
Anything but...
@@nombreapellido2092 Unfortunately there is no perfect solution. But through learning about varies solutions and respectively having disagreements, we will all work together to find the safest solution to keeping children and staff members safe from mass shootings. Prayers for everyone. ✝️🙏🌍💚💜
I would absolutely send my kids to your school and probably feel safer than I've ever felt sending my kids to School!!!
What about all those predator teachers..... you feel safe giving them a gun now?
I saw in the Yakima herald newsletter that the super intendants teacher and vice principal were pedophiles and groomers. They also happen to be his son and daughter and law. I wouldn’t want any children in that school.
I feel that, as far as an active shooter situation, it may be safer, but the student test scores district wide are well below the state average. It would be better to home school.
I'm not in your school district but I support this 100%
This is exactly how to stop a school shooting!!! ARM THE TEACHER!!!!
until you piss off the teacher enough LMAO
I don't want to be armed. If I wanted that I would have gone into law enforcement.
@@hamfistsman6267- That's certainly your right. I prefer to be armed, especially going anywhere near Seattle or Tacoma.
Teachers would have to undergo periodic background checks
@Sam Ramirez they should be already.
Somebody needs to tell this guy about hollow points, but at least he is taking the kids safety seriously. I'm all for arming staff or at least having an armed guard
Liberal democrat prosecutors like to point out that by using hollow points as ammo, the shooter proved "intent".
But you and I both know how common hollow point ammo can be.
If I have to use a weapon on somebody, hollow points are the best option but I do beg people to keep a single magazine of Full metal jacket just in case they are wearing any protective gear. Plus if you want to take the hollow point to the next level look at the Hydro Shock ammo
Lots of lies here,45 rounds a minute?And Spitzer bullets are not designed to tumble although it can occur,they will often fragment or can plow straight for great lengths in tissue,more bs and lies from ignorant media ,and that teacher needs a good instructor as his entire form is horrible on so many levels,I do support him and his choice to do something.
@@thestonedone9237
I alternate in the mags that I carry, 2 hydros-1 fmj. 🤷♂️
They have baseball bats for teachers that don't like the guns but I think training with them is good too
Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
AMEN TO THAT!
This staff is awesome... Walk softly and carry a big stick!! Thank you for having courage to stand up for these beautiful children..
Awesome. Good for Toppenish!! 👏
Crazy in a good way, to think that the administration that carries firearms in this district train more often than some law enforcement agencies. I support his approach, well done!
He needs an award 🥇 this should be brought to every school district in the US
Yea, instead of trying to stop psychos getting guns in the first place let’s give everyone a gun so we have full blown firefights in schools. You people are such nutcases.
I back this fully!
Way2go I wish all the school districts in Washington State we're doing this great job way to protect our kids
All schools need to do this
I hope every school can have a couple armed personnel at all times
19 heavily armed police officers, with body armor and assault rifles did not stop that one 18 year shooter. What makes you think a school admin with a small handgun could?!
@@weisserth Asinine fool.
@@weisserth They weren't heavily armed, didnt have body armor and didnt have assault rifles so you might want to get your info from a more reliable source.
@@weisserth I guess it’s…..
“officer safety” …..
@@rogersmith7808 And neither will these administrators.
Wow this principle definitely need to make a trip to Seattle and talk to all the other school districts and all the other principles everyone needs to be on the same page this is awesome
Melissa Bash - Communist-controlled Seattle, Tacoma, and Edmonds school districts all got rid of the armed uniformed Resource Officers in 2020, "to make students feel safe." Complete morons.
Toppenish is on the Yakama Nation, & is majority Native American. When one considers the recent racist teacher rants recorded in Rochester, at Zoom meetings, etc., is having these armed racists on a reservation, in Seattle, or anywhere in Washington a good idea? And White America has used its educational system as a tool of genocide against Native children; their death camps were called "boarding SCHOOLS," remember?
I agree
I’m willing to bet this school will never be a soft target
Guaranteed, the schools the children of political "elite" attend have robust physical security layers. Keeping children safe at school will happen when we force our "elected leaders" to do it. Arm and train as many teachers as possible in the defensive use of weapons.
And get rid of teachers with anger issues, they already cause more problems than they're worth.
@@b_uppy teachers wouldn’t be so angry if they got paid what they deserve
@@anthonyn1157
US teachers are the highest paid in the world but do a cut rate job compared to other countries.
Your argument falls flat.
@@anthonyn1157
The angry ones should go. They likely contribute to the school shooting problem.
@@b_uppy no they aren’t! Where is the statics to support that? The world is more than the USA 😁😁😁😆
Awesome, I see someone who has a plan with training in place and all on board 👍🏽
Should be done in every school or maybe children shouldn’t go to school. Best news I’ve heard in years.
Homeschooling can be a good option for concerned parents.
Wow I totally agree with you
@@b_uppy not when they have to work to pay bills and live. Not to mention most kids don't do well being taught from home.
@@sweetcheeks89
Then press Congress to support school vouchers for all private schools.
In the u.s.a not in the civilised world..😢😢😢
Kids are our greatest assets. Must protect at all cost!
AWESOME!!
The superintendent has the right idea being armed, he does need more training, as his grip, and form, aren't great. He also has a misguided view of universal background checks, that lead to gun registry, and ultimately confiscation. We've got great NICS checks already, but if nobody reports to them, they can't flag someone. Training is also a good idea, but when you make it mandated, it's just asking for gov. Abuse.
Horrible,his arms are not extended and his grip although high enough on the back is not good,nobody trained him in proper Isocelese or grip,people shoot that way when they have a hard time seeing the sights and try to compensate by bringing the gun closer.I support and applaud him and hope he gets a better instructor.
You can’t see through this? They’re just hitting you with a different angle that you can “relate to” it’s the same gun control anti 2A agenda. This clown clearly doesn’t train, his firearm is a mess, he’s just another clown show news puppet.
WOW, So MANY lies and falsehoods to start this story. An AR-15 will fire 1 round with EACH trigger pull, so, NO the AR15 DOES NOT only shoot 45 rounds a minute. Thats lie number 1.
That would have to be one heck of a twitch to do 45 a minute...
I absolutely agree with what you're doing but I've got to say you need to get rid of the FMJ you could over penetrate and hit a child, load your defensive weapon with hollow point I am a PSS, a "private security specialist so I know what I'm talking about". I would also recommend you get bullet resistant counters as well they are expensive but it will provide you cover so that you can stay alive while you're covering an evacuation of the unarmed
Get wedges for under the doors, too.
Salute you sir for protecting your kids
To keep the sheep safe, you need sheepdogs that have the same sharp teeth and claws that the wolves will bring to take the lives of your lambs. The wolves will always have the benefit of shock and surprise, there's nothing we can do about that, evil always has that advantage. What we have over the wolves is the ability to prepare, to foresee and make ready for the potential day when they will bring chaos to our lives, and we must stand ready to restore order as quickly and definitively as possible. Bravo Toppenish! Not only did you provide your flock with sheepdogs who understand the threat, but you even trained your sheep to not just be helpless victims, and to fight back within their means. Outstanding!
Wow somebody in Washington is actually doing something that makes sense
200% agreed 👍
The early piece of this video is coverage of a school district in Washington state who has been preparing/training for school shooters, for YEARS, since Columbine. It can happen anywhere…their example is exemplary…
Yes, let's give pedophile teachers guns!
I had two armed Sheriffs in my HS everyday, never felt scared it actually pushed me to get my act together later in life going into LE myself. This is a man with a plan, our president lol he has no plan.
Every school in the country should have this.
Wow I agree with you
Bad idea. Tactically inept. Good political move, but otherwise worthless.
This is why all teachers must pass a physical fitness test, drug test and advanced first aid. This is a requirement, not something to get overtime union pay. She says she would do anything to keep "her" The children safe, summer school for teachers means physical fitness, first aid and fire arms training. As police have body cameras, cameras on our streets "that we the tax payers pay for " they should have them in the classrooms.
*¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿""HOWDUMB IS THIS-JOURNALIST/REPORTER""??????????????????????????*
Wow every school in the country should have this I would definitely feel more safe as a single mom when I drop my son off at school and I should also have metal detectors in school as well that’s something my son told me
As a single mom it is important your child feels safe and well cared for. Most shooters come from 'broken homes.' Best wishes and keep an eye out for your kids as they are likely to endure more stresses.
No blame but instead a heads up.
I agree every school needs a metal detector we have billions to send overseas! Protect our kids! Money should not be an object.
I love my glock 19. I own 3 glocks. The 19, is great for concealed carry.
Weird this shit is finally being shown. Now, PROMOTE it.
Assault rifles are automatic and already illegal. It would help if the people who were trying to make laws understood guns at all.
All schools need this and every citizen should have the right to bare arms with non insane gun restrictions, also what's crazy is that my mother works for Toppenish school district and I hope she obtains her CPL soon and let me buy her this 9mm I've been begging her to let me get her
Man I'm about to move there! Thank God somebody's doing something
I hate the idea of having guns everywhere like this but if this what it takes, sure. Physical and mental training is key. I can't and don't want to imagine what parents go though the day that their kids don't come home anymore.
Give the pedo teacher a gun, that can't possibly go wrong.
Sad fact is we provide better security for politicians and banks than we do children
How about we do something to limit access to 18 year old to high powered weapons?
Smart man. Smart move.
Good to see some common sense being used finally. This guy is ready to save those kids if need be. Good for you, sir.
i too salute you . gun safety courses , raise the age, love the school improvements.
Right on!
I would trust him with my child if I lived there.
Finally an actual solution
Thats great! Every public school should have a response team that can act immediately. Ofcourse some teachers are better suited herding kids. This is a proactive plan of defense to protect staff and students! This is how a school restores the publics faith in keeping our people safe! Bravo!
Florida calls them gaurdains I do agree training course
In the u.s.a not in the civilised world 😢😢😢
In the u.s.a not in the civilised world 😢😢
YES!
As they should, I feel like only certain teachers should get it tho like teachers who don’t have anger issues
Maybe they should do background checks ☠️
i'm 14 and i knw a lot about life my math teacher from california universe one of the best schools in the world telled us that guns are bad and i agree we need to make guns unlegel no one need a gun smh 🤦♂️
@@swallowedinthesea11 you have been brain washed kid, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. i carry a gun every day, i will not be a victim because you have a irrational fear of firearms.
@@swallowedinthesea11 The school system has failed you
@@swallowedinthesea11 you need to go study the Constitution and what communism because without the second amendment we would be communist stay in school you don't know nothing
FUCK YEAH!!!!!! As long as they're fully training them, absofuckinglutely!! This school is doing it all correctly!!!! This is what I want to see more of in my evergreen state.
Montell Jordan voice 🗣This is how we do it
Lol 😂
All school's should do the same
In the u.s.a not in the civilised world 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Then we need to raise draft age to 21.. bc it's not fair to expect kids to train with firearms and not be able to own one for three years.
I’m surprised a school in WA is doing this….
Lol 😂 me to but it’s good.
That's so wonderful !
I wonder why he didn't mention a staff member had a weapon on campus and a member of their Critical Incident Response Team didn't report it to him nor the authorities. Putting his own students in danger... And another member of the Team came to the training intoxicated...They don't have teachers on the team because then god forbid they'll have to actually pay them for training? Oh but you had enough money to pay your son and daughter in law for their sex crime.
And your point is? Safety issue because he's armed? I think your issue is with armed teachers. At least they're not growing the kids with sexualisation and gender. Teaching them to be vigilant and aware of their situations. Maybe they can live in your downtown Seattle
@@fomocore I don't believe you understood my comment. I am from Toppenish, this is the superintendent of Toppenish School District. HIs son, who was a High school Vice Principal and his daughter in law who was a High school Teacher were both eventually (it took too long time) terminated for a sex crime with a minor. They would offer drugs, alcohol and sex to minors. John Cerna, the superintendent , had members of his critical initial response team ( the team able to carry guns) show up intoxicated to the training and they continued to be on the team. Another member caught his daughter in law, Bertha Cerna, carrying a gun onto school grounds and she wasn't part of the Critical Response Team. Putting all of the students at the high school in danger because they had just put her husband John Cerna, the superintendents son, on administrative leave. If you would like to read more into it and see evidence facebook.com/tsdsecrets has sheriff's reports, evidence, etc.
Why isn't NBC or CNN reporting on this 🤔
They're too busy opining about gun (people) control...
Proud of this man!
I have been saying it for years, most schools have some WILLING AND ABLE staff that can train to respond to a shooter.
Exactly
Also plenty of evidence that most schools have some willing and able predators that sexually abuse children. The ONLY way to prevent that is, you guessed it, GUN CONTROL. People shouldn't even be in charge of children if they can't pass an electronics audit, let alone in charge with a gun they can use to threaten them with.
In the u.s.a not in the civilised world 😢😢😢😢
I like that.....
The first responders of any school shooting will always be the teachers and staff. Arm and train them please because mass shootings are never going away in America, they are here to stay.
Notice these evil acts are done in gun free zones. Notice home invasions happen less frequently in areas where normal people are armed. Criminals choose defenseless targets. If criminals notice a trend in criminals being shot during their criminal acts murder, rape, armed robberies, etc. would go down drastically.
@@vmac8972 Though that’s a factor that makes these places vulnerable, the root cause has more to do with monkey see monkey do. The first school shooting was a fluke, an unprecedented outlier then the extensive media coverage is what resulted in more.
This principle is right
😒I support Good police officers’s, BUT! The ones that need TRAINING WITH RIFLES IS TEACHERS AND STAFF SECURITY, they keep showing POLICE TACTICS, BUT THERE ALWAYS LATE FOR ACTIVE SHOOTING SO… WTF IS THE POINT!!!! Honestly This PISSES ME OFF!!😒
This should be happening at every school in the US🤷♂️.....State Funding and Federal.....were is the California Lottery going, and Federal money overseas.
The only thing I disagree with 18 comment. Ok if 18 year old is to young to purchase a firearm, then their to young for military service🤔. Weird how schools used to have gun clubs
Bricks in kids desk. Flashbacks,wasp bear spray,bleach, less windows,Bats . Outside playgrounds.Military draft 12 to 65
one question.. Would I have my kid going to a school where a potential shooting might occur, yes(cause what school is certified safe) would I wasn't a preventive measure yes(just not by teachers) listen to this guy he claims it's about safety, these are guns had to remain in a lock box his carrying around, there was suppose to be very strict rules as to who might carry these weapons and this guy is not one of them.. he can handle the gun when shooting just look at the thumbnail
Schools will soon have a show and tell......Bring your daddy's gun to school and show to everyone what model it is....lol.....then confiscate it.....hahaha.
"Those rounds are designed to cartwheel inside peoples bodies"
Pretty sure thats 5.45x39 a Russian round from the 70's
The standard round of AR platform rifles is usually 5.56x45
Remember Saturday Night Live skit of "Show Us Your Guns," back in the '70s and teachers were pulling their guns out and waving them proudly and mothers with baby strollers pulling out their rifles, that's how it should be, all the law-abiding people have the guns, not the criminals.
Good now put signs out front that say
THESE PREMISES ARE PROTECTED BY ARMED STAFF..so it won't be a soft target..
Good...
Kudos to the Spotlight for paying the tow fees there. Screwy that our county / state authorities can't sort that out
AR rounds for in fact, are not meant to tumble. Specially when you differentiate the fact of different calibers. To take AR style rifles and call them all the same is like calling a Prius a Ford F350 Because they are both in fact vehicles. Get your facts right fox. 5.56 is a high velocity cal meant to do exactly the opposite of what you said. It doesnt tumble, it penetrates and flys true. 300 blackout there wont be much left, 7.62x39 sure. You might get a tumble.... If there is again much left.
With that being said. I support everything this school is doing, Just dont let people spread false information. It can be highly dangerous.
He got the wrong Ammo in his carry gun. Those are Full metal Jackets. Made for target shooting. They go thru and thru... He should carry Hollow points, which expand on contact, keeping the round from exiting the target, and hitting the person behind.
Unbelievable. Rampant self deception.If you have to resort to this you have already lost.
911 is not faster than my 9.. especially if your in a big city or rural area.. our officers are about 25 minutes away but only have a handful of officers. God bless y'all.. Being armed is the best way to protect yourself & others!!
Exactly!!! The politicians have their own agendas. What parent would not want the same for their child. God bless this guy for taking action.
This is what we saddly need right now, I love are rights and respect are gun rights but we do need background checks, and how many of us didn’t fully grow up till 28? Plenty of ppl at 18 tho who can handle a gun.
The reason people in society are scared of guns is because they do not have a fundamental understanding of them.
Kids in big cities are mainly learning 2 things - Either "this gun gives you power, you can do anything with it (this is a bad example) or they learn, guns are bad, tell on anybody you see with a gun, they are all bad ( this is also a bad example)
Kids need to be put around guns at a young age and trained on them. All that needs to be taught is to respect guns, not fear them.
When I was first introduced to them when I was small, I was scared, hated the smell of Gunsmoke and really didn't want to touch them.
You have to appreciate what a gun is, the mechanics behind it, the history of it, how it operates, all of its components. Once you break a gun down, clean it and put it back together, respect builds from there.
Okay I completely agree with staff carrying firearms to protect the children but what pisses me off and I don't agree with is when they want to load the firearms with FMJ ammunition rather than hollow point ammunition. He clearly has the Glock 19 loaded with FMJ ammunition so if and when something does happen he will take the risk of the bullet penetrating a wall and hitting a student. At least get the training and knowledge before you say here you go you can carry a gun around students. But I do agree with school staff carrying firearms.
By the time you posted this story Cerna’s son and his wife both employees of the school district had been fired for having sex parties with students while Cerna did nothing. He was just fired. You owe it to your viewers to do a follow up story with actual facts.
Schools can hire veterans for security. They’re already trained for something that’s stressful but still requires professional performance during those fast traumatic situations. It’s sad that kids and school workers gotta think about these kinds of precautions. They’re not trained for shootings. People are there to teach and learn
the school administrator can't be every where all the time I wish Robb elementary would have had guns and shield armor🤦🏾💔🖤🙏👿😡😥
Absolutely Brilliant !
Who cares what a Liberal thinks !
God Bless these Teachers for keeping their Kids safe !
I grew up in Florida, in high school 🏫 I asked my teacher are you ready if anybody came in class and attacked us back in 07 , he was like you damn right with 16 in the clip n 1 in the chamber! I smiled and said me too he gave me a shocked 😳 look and laughed it off haha but I was serious 🧐 haha 😂
You know what always stops the crazy person with a gun? A good guy with a gun. Gun laws aren't going to stop crazy people. A sign that says gun Free zone may as well say "Come on in and start shooting! No one is armed". I believe this is one of the very few instances that you can fight fire with fire.
Why is he carry FMJ in a school that’s my question haha
That’s what i was thinking. Get hollow points and get rid of the bug spray and get a pepper spray
@@Aphabet21
Bug spray can work pretty well. Notice next time you you use it on a Wasp nest...
@@b_uppy bug spray has no instant effect on people and been proven not effective several times. At best, its cause for lawsuit liabilities, at worst, it will get you killed. People aren’t wasps.
Ryan Lanza breached the front door at Sandy Hook. But, I do agree that every school in Wa. needs police on the property. I went to Gray Jr High in the 80s and we had a police liaison officer at the school.
I thought this was a great video until he started talking about making people be 21 and go under more scrutinous background checks. Why does Fox News let this trash slip into their coverage?
Usually the Super 's office isn't on any K-12 campus. They're at a building where the rest of the administrators are located. In reality, him carrying a gun is for his own protection and those in the admin building but it's not a solution to protect all students. We're looking at the end of the public school system as a safe space for children.
0:25 sec in. ARs.. which are sold semi-auto, unless your real good and pay a tax stamp and bg checks dor full auto... are one pull of the trigger one shot.. you fire however fast you can pull the trigger..
Florida have a school resource officer from the sheriffs department. Illinois you have to be buzzed in by the front office to get into the building. My kids current school nothing.
This is how it is done ✅
It’s probably the smartest plan. They are ready just in case a mass shooting happened again. Times change and sadly teachers and staff need to also be thinking differently in how they will protect our babies.
Even if I were anti guns …. If my child was standing in front of the gunman and their teacher had a gun for self defense …. I’d want them to save my child’s life without a doubt.
Hats off to this man and the administration.
