Has LEO priority changed from community protection to self-protection?

For starters we will get rid of stupid powerful weapons of war so the new force we hire and train won't be too afraid to take on the gun slinging criminals.

There are many who will still stand between you and harm. I have first-hand knowledge of this.

No one thinks all police are bad. For instance the Border Control law enforcement team which IGNORED the Uvalde Chief of Police's orders and broke down the door after 90 minutes are heroes.

Yes, there are plenty of people who think all police are bad, including some local politicians. My husband gets spit on for getting out of his car these days. He can perform his job admirably, and it will never matter to some. The “good guy” that he is, he’ll just take it. As his wife, I get angry.

Boo hoo. Cry me an f ing river. I don’t care about your hurt feelings. I care about those parents who won’t ever see their kids again. How dare you make this about yourself.

+ 1.

That’s not remotely what I did, and I think you know that. I simply defended a group that has been repeatedly disparaged, including on this thread. Pointing out that police may actually be allies is not centering this on myself.

Go away, this thread is not for you. I could care less how angry you get because people don't treat your husband poorly. WAHHHH poor you. I don't have any more f's to give after thinking non stop about these poor kids and their families for the last few days. So many of these conversations on what's wrong with policing get hijacked but butt hurt police wives and I am not here for it. You suck, and your husband isn't a "hero" who should be worshipped just because he is a cop.

Go away! This thread is for hysterical venting and uninformed comments

Do you know the history of the word hysterical? Why would you use that word to describe parents concerned for their children’s safety and the loss of life in school shootings, as well as the police response to this and various other situations? Do you feel like the police acted appropriately in Uvalde? Do you feel like when people are analyzing how the adults in charge left children to die, and in one case caused the death of a child according to a boy in the classroom, this is the appropriate venue to start talking about how adults who chose to marry police officers have fears too? Maybe, if you feel like you’re not getting enough support for your feelings about the police officers you love and care for, you shouldn’t try to get it on a thread whose topic is police officers not rescuing children because they might get shot too. Maybe a better idea is to start a thread sharing your experiences with good guys with guns. Or do an AMA about being married to a cop. Or talk to spouses of police officers. But this particular thread might not be helpful for you. We’re still processing 21 people being massacred inside a school, the survivors’ accounts, and how scary it is to live in a world where 18yos have easy access to guns too scary for the police to fight back against, as well as the idea that the police actually make some situations worse instead of better. That last one has been building up for a while, but it sort of exploded recently when we heard children talking about calling 911 to say they can hear the police in the next room, why aren’t they rescuing us?

The intent of this thread, based on the OP’s title AND the first post, is to criticize police. The very first post suggests all cops are cowards unwilling to risk their lives. I was the first wife to post. (I’m clearly not the only one, nor am I the one I suspect you are responding to.) I posted that my husband HAS put his life at risk. I’ve met him in the hospital twice after attacks at work. THIS thread, which is about cowardness, does warrant responses like mine. To answer your questions, no, I do not think the police in Uvalde acted appropriately. I can be angry about their response while simultaneously not condemn every officer nationwide to vitriol.

Your comments are appreciated here. Look at the weapons LEOs like your husband are up against. There are outrageous weapons of war. LEOs could help to demand they be banned again especially if they do not want to have to face them on the job.

Cool. Keep doing that then. I’m sure it’ll help everyone feel better and heal from this tragedy. Whenever you feel you’ve appropriately defended your husband’s honor, if you need a new project, I heard #notallmen needs more kind ladies to help them too.

Yep. No one cares about your feelings, police wife or wives. Truly. Your husbands work in a profession filled with vile racists, domestic abusers, and do nothings. This is a choice they made and you chose to marry them. F your feelings. I personally can’t stop thinking about the dead children and the living ones that had to go through it all and don’t understand why the “hero” cops just stood around.

Anyway, you are vile for coming in here and whining. Go to a police wife support group if you want sympathy.

True. But many LEOs vote for the representation that allows these weapons to be legal. If you vote for that, then get in there and take them on. If you don't want to go up against this weponry than don't vote to allow it and don't be a LEO.

Texas is the Wild West, every man woman and child for themselves. That is the sad truth and it’s an ethos promoted by elected officials all over the state. No wonder this is the kind of response you get from law enforcement.

It’s the Wild West and all about personal freedom until they hold back parents from going in to the school to save their kids. That is how they serve and protect down in Texas. They won’t do their damn jobs to save children but they sure as hell will use excessive force to hold back parents from saving them.

Oh and I almost forgot the kicker- some cops went in against orders to save their own children. They are all disgusting, disgusting people. There is no punishment that is too harsh for these militarized sociopaths.

These cops in Texas, or cop-outs may be a better term, were pathetic, but the underlying issue, the root cause, is Republican-support for the firearms industry and the easy access to assault weapons. The 18-year-old shooter bought two AR-15s in a gun store the week before. Same thing with the Buffalo shooter. Bought his AR-15 in the gun store a month or two ago. That's America for you. .

That’s not remotely what I did, and I think you know that. I simply defended a group that has been repeatedly disparaged, including on this thread. Pointing out that police may actually be allies is not centering this on myself.

Go away, this thread is not for you. I could care less how angry you get because people don't treat your husband poorly. WAHHHH poor you. I don't have any more f's to give after thinking non stop about these poor kids and their families for the last few days. So many of these conversations on what's wrong with policing get hijacked but butt hurt police wives and I am not here for it. You suck, and your husband isn't a "hero" who should be worshipped just because he is a cop.

Go away! This thread is for hysterical venting and uninformed comments

Do you know the history of the word hysterical? Why would you use that word to describe parents concerned for their children’s safety and the loss of life in school shootings, as well as the police response to this and various other situations? Do you feel like the police acted appropriately in Uvalde? Do you feel like when people are analyzing how the adults in charge left children to die, and in one case caused the death of a child according to a boy in the classroom, this is the appropriate venue to start talking about how adults who chose to marry police officers have fears too? Maybe, if you feel like you’re not getting enough support for your feelings about the police officers you love and care for, you shouldn’t try to get it on a thread whose topic is police officers not rescuing children because they might get shot too. Maybe a better idea is to start a thread sharing your experiences with good guys with guns. Or do an AMA about being married to a cop. Or talk to spouses of police officers. But this particular thread might not be helpful for you. We’re still processing 21 people being massacred inside a school, the survivors’ accounts, and how scary it is to live in a world where 18yos have easy access to guns too scary for the police to fight back against, as well as the idea that the police actually make some situations worse instead of better. That last one has been building up for a while, but it sort of exploded recently when we heard children talking about calling 911 to say they can hear the police in the next room, why aren’t they rescuing us?

The intent of this thread, based on the OP’s title AND the first post, is to criticize police. The very first post suggests all cops are cowards unwilling to risk their lives. I was the first wife to post. (I’m clearly not the only one, nor am I the one I suspect you are responding to.) I posted that my husband HAS put his life at risk. I’ve met him in the hospital twice after attacks at work. THIS thread, which is about cowardness, does warrant responses like mine. To answer your questions, no, I do not think the police in Uvalde acted appropriately. I can be angry about their response while simultaneously not condemn every officer nationwide to vitriol.

Cool. Keep doing that then. I’m sure it’ll help everyone feel better and heal from this tragedy. Whenever you feel you’ve appropriately defended your husband’s honor, if you need a new project, I heard #notallmen needs more kind ladies to help them too.

Yep. No one cares about your feelings, police wife or wives. Truly. Your husbands work in a profession filled with vile racists, domestic abusers, and do nothings. This is a choice they made and you chose to marry them. F your feelings. I personally can’t stop thinking about the dead children and the living ones that had to go through it all and don’t understand why the “hero” cops just stood around.

Anyway, you are vile for coming in here and whining. Go to a police wife support group if you want sympathy.

I’m not bringing hate into this world, and neither is my husband. I did nothing more than counter a stereotype presented by the OP, and then parroted by you. I’m a world that needs more hope and love, perhaps you can find a way to work WITH people who agree with you instead of joyfully tearing them apart.

Where are do you and DH stand on banning these horrible types of weapons?

I stated earlier in this thread that we both support banning weapons. We vote accordingly. He volunteers with a program to get guns off streets.

There are many who will still stand between you and harm. I have first-hand knowledge of this.

No one thinks all police are bad. For instance the Border Control law enforcement team which IGNORED the Uvalde Chief of Police's orders and broke down the door after 90 minutes are heroes.

Yes, there are plenty of people who think all police are bad, including some local politicians. My husband gets spit on for getting out of his car these days. He can perform his job admirably, and it will never matter to some. The “good guy” that he is, he’ll just take it. As his wife, I get angry.
