These police officers are probably men who have grown up believing that they would be able to shoot the bad guys. Ha.

It would appear that cowardice on their part was a major factor.

This is also probably related to the fear of shooting kids accidentally which would make them face trials potentially. So, yeah, it's cowardice, but not necessarily because they were afraid to be shot, they were way better equipped than unarmed parents rushing into the building. It's because they were afraid to be facing legal scrutiny of their actions if they were to cause the death of a child directly vs. indirectly when shooter kills them. Yeah, I know, grasping at straws here.

IMO, the past couple of years of demonizing cops has left us with the cowards. The best cops have left the field and anybody with half a brain isn't interested in joining either.

Demonizing cops and defunding the police movements were clearly Democrat's agenda at least then, probably not so much now. If this is the end result we get, then couldn't Republicans turn it around and start blaming Democrats for the increased casualties caused by paralyzing the cops? I am just playing purely logical debates here. They could and they will and they are already doing it. My personal opinion is that both parties using this for political gain is tone deaf.

No wonder Republicans get so twisted. We wanted accountability for the police. Turns out we were correct to demand that since the police massively failed again.

Ever heard of a self fulfilling prophecy?

I vote for whoever is least scary and not trying to drastically change the way we live, think, raise our kids. Both choices are pretty awful, to be honest, if we go down partisan lines. But everyone votes for what matters to them personally at the end of the day. Asking people to abstain regardless how they vote is just messed up. Gross hypocrisy.

Np- if your vote means high powered rifles in the hands of the mentally ill, we don’t need your vote.
Stay home. That’s not hypocrisy, that’s sanity.

I will make my decision based on my opinions when the time comes and I will cast my vote based on my decisions. They may or may not align with yours, but this is irrelevant. You have no power to stop people from voting. You can try to influence people to vote your way, but you are doing a piss poor job at it

You can’t be persuaded. Honestly I’m just hoping for a big wave of Covid to kill more of you.
Night.

This. Seriously they are unhinged and depraved of humanity. I literally wish them suffering now and never in my wildest dreams could I have wished that upon anyone.

Have you read this thread??? I’m having trouble believing you are a real person.

Literally nothing said before this post contradicts this. Nothing matters more to republicans than party loyalty and identity. Dead children, be damned.

One thing republicans have in common is that they can’t understand anything until they go through it themselves. They can’t tolerate abortion until their daughter needs one. They can’t stand interracial marriage until their niece marries a “nice black guy”. Healthcare isn’t a right until they lose their insurance. Unemployment is an “entitlement” until they lose their jobs. Everyone else is lazy, irresponsible, and looking for a handout, but they and their families are deserving and they are an exception.

Real person sick of the BS. Republicans support domestic terrorism. No decent person who understands government still supports them.

Perhaps some of these right wingers can serve oranges to their kids this weekend and subtly hold an orange up to their child’s head or trunk. Any “MoDeRaTeS” who read this next paragraph can too. See how big an orange is next to your child’s tiny, fragile body.

“The injury along the path of the bullet from an AR-15 is vastly different from a low-velocity handgun injury. The bullet from an AR-15 passes through the body like a cigarette boat traveling at maximum speed through a tiny canal. The tissue next to the bullet is elastic—moving away from the bullet like waves of water displaced by the boat—and then returns and settles back. This process is called cavitation; it leaves the displaced tissue damaged or killed. The high-velocity bullet causes a swath of tissue damage that extends several inches from its path. It does not have to actually hit an artery to damage it and cause catastrophic bleeding. Exit wounds can be the size of an orange.” https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/what-i-saw-treating-the-victims-from-parkland-should-change-the-debate-on-guns/553937/

You know there are many different types of bullets that go in an AR-15 right?

And they all are lethal.

The description the Atlantic gave the impression there is only one bullet for the weapon.

They think that at some point the gubmint or libruls or both are going to "come for them" and guns will be necessary for good people like themselves to defend themselves. Kinda like David Koresh (see how well that worked out.).

I think they feel bad about the slaughtered kids but they think that's on the individuals who did it, not guns in general.

More tellingly, what did Rush Limbaugh say was a good reason for people to be able to have guns after Sandy Hook? That is probably what my mom and dad believe.

Again, we have guns (including an AR) because my husband is convinced marauding White Supremacist Trumpers are coming to our wealthy neighborhood to murder us. Kinda nutsy thinking, though our neighbor WAS robbed last month - by professionals that came in from South America.

If we really want to save lives, we can save more lives with less effort than by trying to reduce school shootings.

- Not a Republican

Are these people being pushed out of bed? No. People have the option of installing a railing to keep them in bed if this is an important issue to them.

It’s not just school shootings. Guns need to be regulated.

Please be real. The chances of being in a school shooting are lower than dying from a car or bus crash to or from school. That does not mean ignore it. But please keep in perspective.

Guns are the leading cause of death for children in the US PP. this is not JUST about school shootings. This is about reducing the number of guns out there to protect kids everywhere, not just at school.

Yes, don’t let them narrow the issue to “just” school shootings. This is so much bigger than that. Gun violence is a leading cause of death among young children.

Can you please provide the link to reputable statistics source which also includes health related issues, drownings and car accidents. I am not negating, I want to see the proof.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/guns-leading-cause-death-children-cdc

You know where they are going with this, right? They are going to blame the pandemic response on the increase of homicides and suicides that dramatically jumped in 2020. They will be blaming Democrats for advocating the measures that led to despair causing increase in gun deaths. In other words, they won't blame guns.

I bolded the parts for you that would help their rhetoric that it's not guns themselves, but something that happened in 2020, and also deaths were intentional, not accidents, which indicates rise in crime and mental health crisis


Quote below:

Firearms were the leading cause of death for U.S. children and adolescents for the first time in 2020, the most recent year with data available.

While studies in 2016 found that motor vehicle accidents surpassed gun deaths for children, a roughly 30% spike in the latter between 2019 and 2020 made firearms the leading cause of death, according to an analysis of CDC data published in the New England Journal of Medicine in late April.

The CDC reported 4,368 child deaths by gunfire in 2020, the vast majority of which were homicides, followed by suicides. Unintentional gun deaths and deaths where a motive could not be determined accounted for a very small portion of the data.

And if our society wasn’t awash in guns, more of those kids would be alive. It’s quite simple.

No wonder Republicans get so twisted. We wanted accountability for the police. Turns out we were correct to demand that since the police massively failed again.

If police massively fails, what should we do, dismantle them?

I literally said it in my post, troll. Accountability.

No. I, unlike you, can read the crimes and misdeeds of police officers and I understand that police officers with no accountability are capable of barbarism. Like melting the skin off someone in their custody. Like kneeling a man to death. Like raping a woman in your custody. Like letting a roomful of little kids get slaughtered.

And anyway if Republicans would deal in reality, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s the guns.

What you’re doing is a self-protective mechanism to avoid pondering the actual impact of your political beliefs. You like your death toys, you are comfortable with kids over there somewhere being murdered in order to keep your death toys. When someone tells you that the victims bodies can be pulverized, that the bullets (and, no they don’t imply that there’s only one bullet; all bullets from these guns create this kind of damage), you have to scrunch up your eyes - kind of like these little slaughtered kids did not to see their friends’ heads exploded - and make irrelevant points.

Get rid of the guns. If my hobby murderer people, I’d give up my hobby.

I don’t think its grasping at straws. Look at the way a lot of LEOS have been treated in the past few years.

Ok. Great. Why do you care then? He’s not the one in here making inane arguments against gun control. Many gun owners support gun control measures—the responsible ones.

TBH - the police couldn't win here in your book. Had they stormed the room earlier, and accidentally shot one or more of the children in order to take out the killer, the left would be harping about that.
