What I can't believe is that the cops, lying at every turn, haven't settled on lying that they thought he was holding the children hostage and didn't breach the classroom because they thought they could talk him down.
Ya know, the only thing that makes them not look like absolutely incompetent cowards.
Give them time. Also that expects intelligence, of which they have none. Plus I believe protocols put in place after Columbine require them not to negotiate and instead go in guns blazing.
I wonder if the parents wouldn't like to give the kids some weapons and let them go to town on these assholes.
Its because Cops are pretty fucking stupid, @Arch. There's no advanced education required, and there's barely any training. Hair stylists log more training hours than Cops do.
Why do you need intelligence when the Police Union and your elected officials will bail you out, time after time? Remember, if you aren't on their side with everything, you are against them and hate justice and peace.
There's no middleground, no no no. Its all or fucking nothing with this tribalistic species.

At least they're admitting some of it now. Wonder how many will be fired... and then hired by other agencies.
The union will protect them.
I hate that I get to say that. I really do. I detest that the Police Union makes other unions look so fucking bad.
im expecting at this point we’re just gonna find out cops shot some of the kids

""It was very terrifying because I never thought that was going to happen," he told CNN. "(I'm) still sad about some of my friends that died."
He does not want to go back to school again.
"No, because after what happened. I don't want to. I don't want anything to do with another shooting or me in the school," he said. "And I know it might happen again, probably."
Man, this is so worth those political points and all that money you're getting from the lobbys, Conservatives. This is so worth it.
I don't wish for anyone to be dead, but I do understand that those in power never change things until tragedy hits them. A few of their kids talking like this changes everything. We remember all the Moms going crazy with MAD back in the day. They were never there until it was their little Timmy wrapped around a tree, and NOW its an epidemic and needs to be addressed.
Ours is a selfish species. Some of us are more selfless than others, but unfortunately, you have a lot of selfish people in positions of power. It's going to take THEIR kids dying for them to realize that the money and "owning the libs" isn't worth the loss of their own precious kin. This isn't an avocation for violence: this is a stark reminder of the reality of our species. We have countless examples from history to draw from, and if you aren't pulling from history, you're actively ignoring it.
I'm trying to chill but I just continue to get fucking angrier and angrier the more we learn about what happened. You mean to tell me there wasn't a single fucking cop who might've thought "Nah, fuck this I'm going in. I don't give a shit what top is saying. They're kids dying!" And instead handcuffed the parents that were brave enough to try in do so in their place!?
What kind of fucking imbeciles and cowards are they hiring over there? And don't give me that shit about "Well if you were in their shoes..." Shut the fuck up. Like please SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. in the strongest sense of the phrase. I would have zero qualms about bringing back tar and feather for these pussies.
Like I never thought this before, but I'm seriously debating about moving back to Europe for the sake of my kids.
They aren't police officers. They're fucking LARPers attending club activities. Convince me I'm wrong at this point. You literally have an interview where their fucking boss is admitting that "They feared being shot, so they didn't break the door down. They thought it may have been a trap."
40% of the town's budget, people! Fourty fucking percent!
The guns that you can buy with hilariously minimal restrictions are capable of scaring TEAMS of cops that they "feared for their life" and do nothing for an hour. These are the guns that 2nd Amendment morons dare "the gubment" to come and get from them. Politicians defend this. Tell me its not all about money and tribalism. Convince me fucking otherwise.
Here's more fuel to the fire. It was a single off duty Border Patrol tactical officer that showed up an hour into this and led the breach/kill. Not a full Border Patrol tactical squad - just 1 off duty Border Patrol officer.
From an LA Times article
“They failed,” said Carlos Ovalle, 32, a county worker who rushed to the school Tuesday in a bid to save his 8-year-old daughter, Makaylah, who survived. “Someone off duty got there faster than they did.”
...If this doesn't crack this stupid fucking veneer of cops being this infallible institution that never does anything fucking wrong, nothing will.
And I know it won't. Nothing will. You can't breed out tribalism. You can't will away this "us vs. them" mindset that plagues this nation; this fucking planet.
He even actually got shot. a bullet grazed his head.
I thought teachers were grooming kids and pedophiles but people want to arm the pedophiles while the kids are around or did they move on from that conspiracy theory?
Force fem at gunpoint
Since we all might need something a little more lighthearted...
