Hillcrest is on lockdown currently. A student on campus reported that cops went into the Hillcrest Annex with guns drawn.

Do not describe police movements or share photos of same here until the situation is resolved. SOP on Reddit when this stuff is live.

Maybe you should go holier than though on some local reporters that posted pictures as it was happening on Twitter (that has a lot more users than some small local sub Reddit). This has never been a rule anywhere except some wanna be cop fantasy land on Reddit.

thank you for letting me know… i was not aware of this!

i apologize for the mistake!

No, you’re fine. It’s more about letting everyone know that reporting about police activity on site creates a risk to them.

Police radio dispatch is publicly accessible, hell there is an app for it.

Preventing people from posting here solves nothing.

If you don’t see a difference between that and posting pictures of police positions during an unknown situation, providing location data to a potential shooter, for example, you are beyond help.

There was no posting of pictures, it was a simple question based on observations.

And no information was disclosed here that couldn’t be verified on publicly accessible police scanner chatter.

Just so you’re aware scanners aren’t current necessarily. There’s a time delay.

You are beyond help. This is a straightforward and common sense thing to do in any emergency where first responders are involved. Not every movement is reported on radio, or other publicly accessible medium. Anything that gives the person creating the incident information about how to kill the people trying to stop them is counter to everyone’s best interest. This is very easy to understand. You must be a troll.

Yes, sharing readily available publicly accessible information on Reddit is such a hazard.

It is when it can get people killed.

All the commenter did was pose a question about the presence of cops on a certain street.

If you think simply acknowledging the existence of police on a road = death, you are beyond help.

feralfantastic t1_iuxenca wrote

Incorrect. As I pointed out at the top of this thread, sharing information about on site police action is the threat, not commenting on a bunch of cops driving down the street. My statement was to anyone else that might be commenting, not to OP.

[deleted] t1_iuxfka2 wrote

So your warning was against something that hadn’t even happened, and still hasn’t.

Good job?

Are you seriously suggesting someone has to publish a photo of police positions during an emergency response before anyone is allowed to discourage behavior like that, which creates a danger to first responders? Forget troll, you’re an idiot.

[deleted] t1_iuxor0u wrote

You want to correct a behavior, the person has to be guilty of it.

If you want to blast a warning to all, just fucking say so, instead of limiting it to a single comment.

Grow up.

I want to PREVENT behavior. If something has happened that needs correcting, an unnecessary risk has already occurred. I did blast a warning to all, that’s exactly what my first comment was.

[deleted] t1_iuxq57q wrote

Tell yourself whatever you need, you didn’t prevent a damn thing, as KY3 was posting the entire story with images at the same time you were issuing your “warning”.

Congrats

feralfantastic t1_iuxqhx3 wrote

The point is we shouldn’t do anything that could put anyone in danger while there’s an unknown emergency situation. This is straightforward and Reddit SOP. Your position is ridiculous.

−1

[deleted] t1_iuxres5 wrote

I agree, we should prevent putting people in danger.

Throwing up a warning on Reddit against sharing details that the fucking local news has already blasted over the airways, doesn’t “prevent” a god damned thing.

Again, grow up.

That’s what I said. Nothing about sharing generic information. Was KY3 live-streaming the event? I didn’t think so.

Your ignorance about why this would be a problem is deeply unsettling.

[deleted] t1_iuxti4r wrote

I acknowledged the sharing of PRIVATE police movements are a security risk.

You were not preventing this, and the fact that you don’t get this, is laughable

Listen, your hearts in the right place, but you’re having a temper tantrum about warning everyone to not do what no one is doing. Did you just watch Die Hard or something? Are you really trying to sell us on the idea that an active school shooter is going to have an AR in one hand and r/Springfield MO open in the other so they can get the drop on the boys in blue??!? Come on, Jack…

feralfantastic t1_iuyt22j wrote

You had no idea what the situation was. This is an utterly mundane thing to do in what could be an active shooter situation. This is what we should be doing every single time something like this happens. The dipshit I was responding to was entirely out of line and clearly lost the thread, shifted goal posts, tried to bring in general coverage by KY3, really laughable except for the fact that he got a bunch of other idiots to agree with him.

Frankly, the fact that this could have been the sort of thing that ended with a bunch of people telling CNN “this kind of thing just doesn’t happen around here” and you’re using that to say my response wasn’t proportional to the risk, really makes it seem like you haven’t considered the effects of live social media coverage has on situations like these.

You do you, boo. I’ll buy you dinner anywhere you like if an active shooter kills a cop because they got a sitrep off a local town subreddit.

Thank God everyone is ok. I can’t imagine how terrified the students and parents were. Thank you for those who posted articles to inform us on the situation. Springfield is scary enough as it is

So everyone is ok? I guess what’s the detail as to what happened?

SharksForArms t1_iuxjqdl wrote

Listening on scanner sounded like a student or someone pretending to be a student called in saying that several people had been shot.

Police cleared the building and found no evidence of a shooter.

Apparently as the search was winding down, several parents got into the school which seems like a great way to add to the confusion of the situation.

Damn parents. Don’t they know they can cause confusion by trying to save their child’s life?

SharksForArms t1_iuy0dn6 wrote

It's a totally understandable and natural impulse to want go in and save your child, especially after Uvalde, but the confusion of having random adults in the school that nobody can identify makes the situation so much more dangerous.

So grateful that it turned out to be a false report. It sounds like we had officers in the building fairly quickly.

I’d confuse every last person living and dead to save my child. Sorry about it. Certainly dangerous though.
