Saratoga County Deputy Shawn Glans had no idea he was being recorded as he tried to intimidate a man into allowing him to search his car, which is why he slapped him on the back of his head while yanking the keys out of his hand, tossing them to another deputy who searched the man's car and found nothing illegal. They parked their car at a business that was closed and walked to a nearby party Thursday night. They didn’t spend much time at the party but when they walked back to the car, they were confronted by deputies who had spotted a rifle in the back seat and wanted to search the car. Firth had purchased a .22 rifle earlier that day and had left it in the back seat, Roberts said. When Deputy Glans asked to search the car, Fitch would not give him permission, insisting he had done nothing illegal.

"The video is difficult to place in the context of the person we know," Chauvin said. "I hope the 20-plus years he's put into the community doesn't go unnoticed," he said adding, "There are two sides to every story."

Glans also has worked as a part-time South Glens Falls police officer. South Glens Falls police declined to comment on his status with that department.

Glans told the Times Union Saturday that he was concerned about public safety after seeing the gun in the car, but that he would have acted differently if he knew it was being videotaped. "If I had to do it all over again ... I'd probably do the same thing. If I knew the camera was there, no, because it does look bad," he said.

Florida Active Shooter Drill With Gun-Toting Cop Angers Middle School Parents - ABC News

I can actually see both sides to this; a true drill is best under the most realistic circumstances but when dealing with school children that might be a bit much.

I did see a thing the other night about a SWAT guy instructing female teachers how to fight back instead of it just being a "hide and hope" scenario. I liked it. Hiding and barricading is swell if that's what you can do but if confronted by someone intent on harm for the sake of harm you'll fight or die...otherwise you probably just die.

What do you mean? Might as well have drills for an alien invasion. A school shooting is 100,000 to 1 odds. Forget about unnecessarily scaring the **** of kids, how much did this stupid drill cost taxpayers? We have crimes that go uninvestigated and we have cops wasting resources preparing for ish that is never going to happen.

I'm fine with them having drills, but the students and parents should have been notified beforehand. That's a traumatic experience for children even if it is fake.

Say you're a business owner/manager and the cops say, "we want to run a drill that is going to shut down your office the rest of the day. The 50 employees you pay $25/hr to will still be paid. Your office is not likely at all to ever face a real-life version of this drill, and it may disrupt productivity for the rest of the week. Howsabout it?"

Would you think it's a good idea?

Statistics may be against it happening, but it's far better to be prepared for such an event rather than not.

And whether you agree, sometimes these things are better done unannounced. Perhaps a warning as it started to the school would have been on order, but is that the fault of the police or school?

Cost/benefit analysis, homey. It's good to be prepared if it happens. It's terrible to waste resources if it doesn't. It's like investing in lottery tickets.

My question is if the drill is for police (not students) why did it have to be done in a school. Surely they can simulate this in an empty warehouse.
