Uvalde Police Waited to Enter Classroom, Fearing Firepower from Gunman
Once they saw a torrent of bullets tear through a classroom wall and metal door, the first police officers in the hallway of Robb Elementary School concluded they were outgunned. And that they could die.

The end result of America's gun lobby is "legal" weaponry that police are so terrified of that they can't even protect children from being massacred.
The people whining about trans books and groomers but are perfectly fine with people having access to guns that literally debilitate law enforcement need to think long and hard about whether they truly support children or "back the blue."

You really don't get it, do you.
Even with an AR-15 in your hands, you would still have reservations about going up against a psycho who also has an AR-15 who is killing indiscriminately and has nothing to lose. Yes, as a cop, it is their job and every single ------------ "officer" should be fired and investigated for any possible criminal charges. However, none of that discounts the obvious fact that legal AR-15s in the hands of psychopaths create reasonable fear in police officers thaf in this case wound up causing substantial child death.

Really? It's an argument as old as carbine bullets used in hunting. They're considered too weak for humanely killing moderately sized game animals like a deer. There is a big variance in deer body mass related to regional climates per Bergmann's Rule, so a bullet that could easily kill a Southern deer would be seen as insufficient for deer that live on the Northern border.

Ironically, it's the exact opposite.
The human brain works by correlating two things. Like suicide and the gas oven back in the day for instance. Suicide in Britain dropped by almost 50% when they got rid of carbon monoxide in their gas lines. People couldn't put their head in the oven and kill themselves anymore. Why didn't they just use another easy and painless method? Tons exist. Because the brain that was considering suicide by oven correlated it with the only option being the oven. Any other method was too tenuous of a connection mentally so suicide no longer became a "good" idea for many. It's strange but its how the brain functions.

WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.
The decision, with an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia and dissents from Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, overturned a ruling by a federal appeals court in Colorado. The appeals court had permitted a lawsuit to proceed against a Colorado town, Castle Rock, for the failure of the police to respond to a woman's pleas for help after her estranged husband violated a protective order by kidnapping their three young daughters, whom he eventually killed.
Not surprisingly the conservative justices concluded police don't have to do ----.

obviously you have a different world view than me. I go my own way and feel no need to apologize for or justify any of my opinions. you don't pay my bills so why should i give a s**t about what upsets you? for instance, i know there are transvestites, i believe in body dysphoria but i surely do not believe in a woman trapped in a mans body or vice versa. and i don't care what studies you cite to prove me wrong, in your opinion. you mouth every cliche' that the 'woke' or 'virtue signalers' do so i think that's an appropriate appellation given the current accepted vernacular. I'll say it again Yang/Porter and I like Bernie and prior to that Bill Bradley. I'm not a lock-step guy but I sure like you that are. insight and perspective

I have never served in the military. Answer me this.
If the Uvalde fustercluck had been a military operation, would the non actions of the cops be in violation of the code of conduct?

Hiding under a new name is far more pathetic than calling someone out for hiding under a new name.

So let's say this was Iraq. And the school was in the Green Zone. Letting a local (Haji) shoot up a building that you're supposed to secure is probably a violation.
Outside the wire, it's probably not our concern.

Right. You whine nonstop about trans people who have zero affect on your life, and you voice zero concern that the other people whining about trans people are the cult that attempted a fascist coup.

Topic is a school shooting in Texas.
North Hollywood is known for being soft.
Yet even it's cops weren't afraid to engage criminals with more firepower.
And that was over money.
So what's wrong with Texas?

I won't argue that but they both take a backseat to the offense I mentioned.

No, I just think it's a terribly damaging, insidious lie that seeks to take advantage of the now more accepted social acceptance of gay folks. fetishists at best, more likely people with mental health needs

Which is what they used to say about gay people.
You're just falling for the fascist playbook of demonizing a minority group to distract from their fascist agenda.

Should gay men be allowed in the men's room? But trans men shouldn't be allowed in the men's room...
You're deeply confused.

I do not believe those cops would have dynamically stormed the room with no shield, no flash bangs, and no plan if you just swap out the AR for a goose gun with buckshot or a couple high cap pistols.

No fascists targeting minority groups for political gain has been hugely successful throughout history, because it precedes them seizing power and causing mass death and suffering.
