Let's hope the CNN writer in their hurry to get the story out misheard something as "tank" and not that the Florida PD have an actual tank. Given the fact that the article has an aerial shot of the scene and there isn't a tank in it, I'm betting that's the case.

CNN is most likely full of shit. There is no tactical reason to bring a tank to a school shooting and it would tear up the parking lot.

Police get surplus military weapons because we keep buying things due to military industry lobbying.

It's easier to believe that CNN fucked up in a rush to get the story out than a random Florida police department having a tank.

Chances are it is probably CNN misreporting, but police love using military equipment even when the situation doesn't call for it.

Why do you think that when cops are responding to a life or death situation, that they have such a hard on for excessive force that they'd want bring along a tank which would serve no purpose in such a situation and would most likely just get in the way and be more of distraction than anything else?

I don't like fox either. None of these people should just be blindly copying a story without checking the most basic of facts. The moment you see "tank" in the thing you're about to publish, when you didn't see it yourself, you should do some basic fucking fact checking/

Why shouldn't we hold them accountable for shitty reporting? Are they allowed to just make shit up if the story is big enough? If it were a major terrorist attack, could they say the US had deployed their space laser?

assuming there is no tank, they misreported the situation on the ground and mislead readers. that's a pretty piss poor effort especially in light of the importance of developing active shooter and terror situations. also assuming there is no tank, it's possible that they over-inflated the description of the vehicle to get some more clicks, which is working.

giving them a free pass because the situation is "emotional" is probably the worst argument ever and i don't even hate cnn.
