What’s the point of having cops if these heavily trained, heavily armed, heavily protected cowards will not save the lives of little children?
I am glad video footage exist so Texans can see what the stupid propaganda and GOP policies get them.
The reality is we’re all afraid of someone with an AR-15. Asking small police forces to confront a shooter with a military weapon is not fair. They are to blame for the poor response but never should have had this responsibility to begin with. Those weapons should be banned.
Are you kidding? That’s literally THEIR JOB. That town is sending 45% of their budget on their cowardly cops. The AR-15 they all were carrying, their bulletproof vests and their shields are not toys, they were purchased to be used in situations like this. An off duty border patrol officer went in with a barber’s shotgun. Give the guns to the parents and get out of the way.

I agree - but also why did that have that highly militarized (and presumably trained?) SWAT team?!

What an absolute tragedy, and I cannot believe that these people waited outside while the gunman slaughtered children. There is no amount of information or analysis that will ever let me get my mind around that.
They did not show up. The swat team came from CBP.
No I get that - I was responding to PP's statement that "Asking small police forces to confront a shooter with a military weapon is not fair. They are to blame for the poor response but never should have had this responsibility to begin with." Police forces the country over are militarized like this - but why, if it's not fair to ask them to respond to a situation like this? What if there were TWO shooters - like Columbine? Then they wait outside twice as long - despite having this sort of gear and training?
What is the point of a militarized police department if they still can't be tasked with responding to an active shooter. Am I a step away from defund the police?
