Absolutely everything here is atrocious, but this bugs me the most. They're covering their rear end here because if they let the parents run in and the parents get shot they might be blamed is the only thought process I can come up with here. I suppose controlling the area if you want to be super nice but come on, no. Y'all weren't controlling poo poo other than a parking lot.

As if the children, who are busy being terrified, dying or being dead already, are not the problem.

Also, one of the parents managed to escape from the cops, get in, and rescue their child if I read a story right, so they didn't even secure a perimeter properly, just menaced freaked out people for a good hour for funsies.

I really wish I had something more meaningful to contribute to the discussion, in part because my little cousin and a few of her friends survived Parkland, but nothing has changed since then and it just makes me angrier and angrier, so I'll keep saying "gently caress the police".

I've been curious if anyone has written up a comparison of the timeline of response between Parkland and Uvalde. Or effective response rather. Sounds like the cops showed up relatively early in both cases but, you know.

If I was one of the parents that was restrained by the pigs, I can't imagine what hearing about this would do to me. Especially if I lost my child in the shooting.

Do we know if that happened to any of the parents that were restrained?

I'm kind of curious as to the border force that showed up to actually do something? Seems kinda weird - I mean in a sea of weird. Did they get called in or just hear through the grapevine and showed up to get what needed doing done?

Everything I've read makes it sound like the border patrol guys just heard about and went to help.

This is apparently the guy who took out the shooter.

I scrolled past the initial coverage as I thought it would more of the same school shooting/gun control discourse that goes absolutely nowhere, so what's this about cops being cowards as that seems new and kinda important?

11:28 Shooter crashes his car in a ditch down the road from the school. Two men see him exit his car with guns and he shoots at them. They run away and they / a teacher at the school hearing that call 911.

11:31 Shooter is in the parking lot of school shooting at it, cop #1 reaches the funeral home. cop #2 goes into the parking lot and assaults a random teacher.

11:32 Shooter continues shooting at the school and enters the building and butchers two classrooms that are connected by a bathroom. Gets into the classroom by breaking the glass window in a door,

11:35 7 cops go into the building, hide in a hallway.

12:03 by now 19 cops are hiding in the hallway outside the classroom refusing to go in. Tons are outside as well arresting parents freaking out about them not doing anything.

12:15 border patrol shows up

12:19 The like 10th call from students in the classroom is made to 911, still nothing.

12:50 Cops harass a janitor until he finds the keys to the room, Border patrol breaches the classroom, kill gunman

So despite having a door with no window or literally any amount of force, it's a loving grade school door after all, and no way for the shooter to cover both rooms, as seen by the dozen 911 calls the kids inside made, the cops sat outside for 75 minutes doing jack poo poo.

You forgot where the cop called into a room if anyone was in there, a kid replied, and the shooter shot them.

Had a chat with some colleagues who are hardcore conservative tonight and even they're pissed off about the police response and want heads. Maybe, just maybe there will be a little justice? (There won't be)

Option B: Everyone Half of the officers involved get some kind of harsh punishment... and then we've "solved" the whole incompetent/cowardly cops problem and it never gets brought up ever again. No, hey why are you guys still bringing it up remember those guys got punished?

If only there were any signs

https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/27/us/yubo-app-salvador-ramos-threats-invs/index.html

quote:

Salvador Ramos told girls he would rape them, showed off a rifle he bought, and threatened to shoot up schools in livestreams on the social media app Yubo, according to several users who witnessed the threats in recent weeks.

But those users -- all teens -- told CNN that they didn't take him seriously until they saw the news that Ramos had gunned down 19 children and two adults at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, this week.
Three users said they witnessed Ramos threaten to commit sexual violence or carry out school shootings on Yubo, an app that is used by tens of millions of young people around the world.

The users all said they reported Ramos' account to Yubo over the threats. But it appeared, they said, that Ramos was able to maintain a presence on the platform. CNN reviewed one Yubo direct message in which Ramos allegedly sent a user the $2,000 receipt for his online gun purchase from a Georgia-based firearm manufacturer.

....

Use of Yubo skyrocketed during the coronavirus pandemic, as teens trapped indoors turned to the app for a semblance of in-person interactions. The company says it has 60 million users around the world -- 99% of whom are 25 and younger -- and has trumpeted safety features including "second-by-second" monitoring of livestreams using artificial intelligence and human moderators.

Despite those safety features, the users who spoke to CNN said Ramos made personal and graphic threats. During one livestream, Amanda Robbins, 19, said Ramos verbally threatened to break down her door and rape and murder her after she rebuffed his sexual advances. She said she witnessed Ramos threaten other girls with similar "acts of sexual assault and violence."

...

Hannah, an 18-year-old Yubo user from Ontario, Canada, said she reported Ramos to Yubo in early April after he threatened to shoot up her school and rape and kill her and her mother during one livestream session. Hannah said Ramos was allowed back on the platform after a temporary ban.

Hannah, who requested CNN withhold her last name to protect her privacy, said Ramos' behavior turned increasingly brazen in the last week. In one livestream, she said, Ramos briefly turned his webcam to show a gun on his bed.

But I don't want to spend $50, I want to spend $1500! I don't really have any specific workouts in mind and don't know anything about working out beyond playing sports or cardio, just figured I am nearing 180lbs and probably should be closer to 160, my slim fit shirts are not looking that flattering anymore. I don't have space for anything big like a peloton which is why I am leaning towards something more weighty.
