Ive been avoiding reading touch about this story because I hardly need the stress but it seems the cops being to cowardly to take on 1 teenager when they out numbered him 50 times over eve to protect their own (their and their fellow law enforcement families) is just too shocking to stay out of my feeds.

Shouldn't be surprised really, they signed up to beat up grandpa's and shoot kids holding pool noodles, not put themselves in danger or anything.

Serious abolish the police and just put the army in the streets. That would be better.

I wonder how much more funding they need to actually save children? Surely someone has that number, right?

Whenever a child gets killed they will have retroactively had the amount of funding needed to save all the kids but that one. So more money please.

Yeah real grown adults believing demons and the devil are the reason they aren’t having a good time is millennia old. In America I’m surprised we don’t have some mention of demons in the constitution.

I had an idiot reply to me in twitter with this the night of the shooting. And it was soooooooooooooo stupid, I thought it revealed he was a bot.

I think it's more depressing to learn he's probably not.

God drat do these morons not understand the implications and ramifications of making only 1 entrance/exit?



(Also, if they suggestion is more "only 1 door in, all other doors are exit only" then that's really just symbolic. Not like a gunman couldn't shoot out or Jimmy open an "exit pnly" door, or that someone would rig an "exit only" door to be not so exit only, for convenience, instead of having to walk all the way around back to the "entrance only".)

WSJ: Uvalde Residents Voice Frustration Over Shooting Response

Article is paywalled, but someone sent me the most infuriating bits:

quote:


DPS said Uvalde police were on the scene at the school within a few minutes, with support from other agencies, including state troopers close behind. The agency released conflicting information about whether a school police officer who first encountered Ramos fired at him. Authorities first said the pair exchanged gunfire as Ramos was running into the school, then later said shots might not have been fired at that time.

The agency said two police officers engaged with Ramos as he reached the classroom where he barricaded himself, and both were shot and wounded.

After the confrontation ended with Ramos dead, school buses began to arrive to transport students from the school, according to Ms. Gomez. She said she saw police use a Taser on a local father who approached the bus to collect his child.

Each time I think my opinion of the cops can’t get any lower, I just have to wait an hour and the story somehow gets even worse.

e: the cops did more to stop desperate parents than they did to stop the shooter:

My guess is the gunshot wounds are lies yeah

Also really wierd how Texas law enforcement has released no details about the shooter's motives or political leanings

You figure it was a "Leftist" they would be screaming it in from the rooftops, wierd that :thunk:

35 to 55 minutes, is "minutes", but it's an AWFUL lot of minutes when police were present from at LEAST minute 1, and at most minute 10.
I'm not a doctor, but if anyone else here can tell me: scale of 1 - 10, how bad is it to let someone with a gunshot wound bleed out for 30 minutes?

Can I ask why it's okay for police, who are supposed to be trained to handle shootouts can completely neglect to do anything (FOR THEIR SAFETY YOU SEE), but kids have to be trained in event of school shootings to be battlefield medics?

I'd say zero, they are going to "not politize" this or blame demons/video games/whatever it takes to not find fault with their own ideology and vote R

I've been mulling leaving Texas since 2016 and honestly I don't know how much of a difference it will make to be in "blue" state when the Republicans inevitably take control of the Federal government again. They will write their insane Mammon worshiping death cult ideology into federal law and there is no mechanism short of revolution that will stop them.
