After all, it's not as if they:

a) milled around outside the elementary school listening to gunshots, while
b) "establishing a perimeter," and
c) harassing and bullying frantic, desperate parents, while
d) cowardly refusing to enter the building because... gulp... they might get shot!

Back the Blue! GOP 4 Ever! Keep Voting Republican!

How I would love to see anyone blathering about ‘DCUM experts who know nothing” refute your abcd list. I’d love to see it. Make it make sense. Make this something other than disgusting.

But I do wonder how the good guys with guns are supposed to drop rational thinking and just storm into a situation?? The good guy with a gun theory is magical thinking! It’s a lie peddled by the NRA.

Doesn’t matter. Kids are in classroom getting murdered- you rush in. ANY one would say that is the right thing to do. Police know that too...they were just too afraid and can claim “training protocols”

He could’ve killed 300 people.

But I guess none of them would’ve been cop’s children.

Just read after he shot up the initial classroom, he put on some music and just sat there playing music and listening while he waited for someone/anyone to come in after him.

Ugh. The account from the 11yo survivor is heartbreaking.

And another liar rings in. There is substantial evidence that post-Columbine, the wait by the Uvalde police was against training and policy. Enough. Enough.

Police are not required to protect us. Why do they exist? It is an excellent question.

Yes, I’m with you. I live in a huge city where the police budget makes the public school budget weep with envy. Every time I’m on the train, I see cops - not on the platform - playing Candy Crush in duos, logging onto Bumble. Never ‘policing.’ Never. I live close to two recent national-level story of subway shootings. It’s the same song, always a different day. The department does not increase safety, and certainly doesn’t prevent homicides. I’m tired of all the lying. I mean, here we have scads of video showing desperate, anguished parents being prevented from going in to save their babies. The police did nothing. And per the Both Sidesism of DCUM, there are countless liars here merrily pushing the narrative of how we just can’t know all the facts, the police did their jobs, how would you like their jobs?

We arm them to hurt us in peacetime, and they look at an active massacre, with their own weapons, and demur, “No thanks.” Good luck, second graders.

They should have let the parents in then. I guarantee mob of angry parents on a kamikaze mission would have stopped him. Sure half would have been mowed down, but half wouldn’t. Add in some police reinforcements from the rear...I’m sure every parent there would rather them go down than their kids. Let him empty his magazines into anything other than a classroom of kids

The magazine......get rid of these high capacity magazines that only serve to enhance the bloody slaughter.

It boggle the mind how many LOEs are supportive of these pro gun representatives when they don't even want to take these weapons on in their jobs. WTF?

Well they are not going to distract. The pro weapons crowd is full of hollow false arguments. The nra and the gun lobby have been an incredibly destructive force to our children. That is what we need to guard against.
