Found out we’re doing a mandatory active-shooter training at work. It’ll be “non interactive” which I guess means no fake guns or practice takedowns or whatever they do to scare people. At least one of my coworkers has already expressed adamant opposition to this, so I have at least one ally. I’d be more opposed if I were going to have fake guns pointed at me, but if it’s just sitting in a room listening to someone talk, I don’t mind being paid to listen to their bullshit. Anyway, beyond what I’ve said, I don’t know much about these trainings, so what are some funny ways I could derail it? Don’t hold back
ask them what to do when the cops refuse to put themselves at risk
ask them how to tell a roided up terrified cop you’re not the shooter without being shot
ask them how much the active shooter training course cost the district, then ask them how much improving access control (an actually useful preventative measure) would cost and if it were considered as an alternative
They still managed to screw this up. The people at my job made it so the warehouse employees are locked in what amounts to a kill box. They made this change after a former warehouse employee made death threats. When pointed out that warehouse employees could not egress to the main office they did not fix it and said it would take too much money.
Didn’t fix it because that was a feature, not a bug
Report it to the fire department if it’s a fire hazard.
The fire marshal is your friend. The fire marshal is not your bosses friend.
that’s horrifying

This was actually an explicit part of my last active shooter training, but without the trainer realizing it was a bad thing
These are all winners honestly
