FBI Admits It Failed to Investigate Tip About Alleged Florida School Shooter

quote [ The tip warned of Nikloas Cruz and the "potential of him conducting a school shooting"

In a statement, the FBI said that a person close to Cruz...called the FBI tip line with concerns on Jan. 5. The caller gave the FBI information on Cruz’s “gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.”

That information should have been forwarded to the FBI’s Miami field office for agents to investigate, but it was not.

“We have determined that these protocols were not followed,” a statement from the FBI read. ]

Oh, for fuck's sake. I wonder how many of these tips they get per month.
What is the pre-crime protocol for dealing with a potential shooter?

"For their part, law enforcement officials overwhelmingly hate the idea of armed civilians getting involved. It would make their jobs more difficult if they had to figure out which of the shooters at an active crime scene was the bad guy. And while they train rigorously for responding in confined and chaotic situations, the danger to innocent bystanders from ordinary civilians whipping out firearms is obvious. Exhibit A: the gun-wielding citizen who admitted to coming within a split second of shooting an innocent person as the Tucson massacre unfolded, after initially mistaking that person for the killer, Jared Loughner.
