Even a police loudspeaker could have disrupted the Parkland killer

Even a police loudspeaker could have disrupted the Parkland killer:
Even a police loudspeaker could have disrupted the Parkland killer-By James Lewis
"Now we hear that there was a cop on the school grounds in Florida, and four deputies were outside the school, waiting for backup.  
Some people are blaming the cops, but even an armed cop has to have the tactical advantage to go in shooting.
See the source imageWe talk about guns, but we never talk about courage and tactical skill.  
...What the school cop and the waiting deputies could have done is psychological disruption, to distract and scare the killer and alert the students.  
For that, all you need is a high-powered loudspeaker mounted on a police car and a plan on how to use it. 
...For first responders in an unknown shooter situation, the cops don't even have to get physically into the combat zone.  
All they have to do is make the killer think they are there.
...a determined strongman (or a latter-day killer) with a gun can be badly disrupted by loud, fast-onset noise, a loud, authoritative voice, flash-bang grenades built into existing fire alarms, and hidden security cameras in all the halls and rooms.
Surprise and fear works with psy-ops.
THIS IS THE POLICE.  FREEZE!  FREEZE!  FREEZE!
DO NOT MOVE!
YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO DROP YOUR WEAPON.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE...
...and then all hell seems to break loose. 
If a shooter is taken by surprise with a purely psychological attack, it will take minutes for him to re-orient; check out his position; dive into a closet or hit the ground; or, best of all run off.   
Meanwhile, innocent bystanders will get more time to escape and rally..."
Worth a second thought!
