Cowardice in the face of the enemy was enough for a prison sentence or even hanging, back when any male citizen was liable to be drafted to fight this country's enemies.
Now it's not even a firing offense in Texas to wait in a hallway with a dozen other cops, all suited up in bullet-proof vests with AR15's, while they listen to a lunatic murder children for 45 minutes and wait for the last real man in town to arrive, armed with nothing more than his barber's shotgun.
At least this Florida coward can claim he was alone and armed only with his service weapon for the first few minutes before help arrived.
But the mere fact that such cowards exist in our police forces, and the courts don't care, tells you that this country is becoming one not worth defending -- as you can see by the armed services' inability to reach their recruitment goals.
