As Twitchy told you yesterday, Katie Pavlich delivered a big-time smackdown to Piers Morgan over this take about reports that four Broward County officers waited outside a school building while Nikolas Cruz continued shooting:
So FOUR 'good guys with a gun' were not able to stop the bad guy.
I think this kinda ends the 'arm the teachers' bullsh*t, don't you? https://t.co/hVHtw7negn— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 23, 2018
Nice try, but no:

Sure is!
DEVELOPING: Sources familiar with events surrounding the shooting tell @CBSMiami that when Coral Springs police arrived within minutes of the shooting call, they found not only the BSO School Resource Officer outside the school taking up a defensive position…

… but at least three other @browardsheriff deputies who were waiting outside the school. The Coral Springs officers were told by BSO officers on the scene to wait, but the Coral Springs officers blew past them and immediately entered the building.

In other words, Piers, good guys with guns went in, eventually.
What's odd to me is that they think that actually strengthens their narrative somehow. I guess if one cop who was afraid of guns didn't act, then four makes the point 4x as much?

Plus, if they're going to use the argument that cops don't stop bad guys, isn't that more reason to personally carry?

The narrative the Left’s trying to build keeps collapsing on itself.
