Cops werent there to prevent the shooter from killing kids. They were there to make sure no one stopped him.

Jesus Christ. This board is going the way of the Poli Board. Y’all want this to be a planned attack so bad that any weird info that comes out you’ll use to “logically” inch yourself to coming to that conclusion.

Just take the time and walk yourself through every possible step that would have to be taken to execute a “plan” like this. This isn’t the movies. Danny Ocean isn’t pulling one over the casino boss.

Perhaps. Or
Maybe you so badly want this to all be spontaneous and organic, that you fail to acknowledge any possibility of frickery by anyone at all.

This is still where I stand, but I refuse to understand how one of said cops is still too scared when he knowd his wife is almost certainly dead unless the shooter is neutralized immediately.


Unfortunately in life, the stupidest explanation is most often what happened. We grasp for conspiracy theories because it’s discomforting to realize what a bunch of idiots are out there on all levels. Somehow we usually get by OK, but other times there’s just too many morons in one place at the wrong time and we get Uvalde.

Just be thankful it doesn’t happen more often.

A lot of cops are really dumb. Insert the meme about them turning people down for having too high of an IQ.

I’d be curious to hear how Uvaldes finest reacted in other situations where victims were in peril.
Is this a trend? Or are there instances where the police acted with uncommon valor?

There is a way. It’s on video….

Funny enough Uvalde in its beginning years was a place full of outlaws.

Sounds like the outlaws have taken over the police department.

I remember reading your comment and this is even crazier than I imagined it could get.

Starting to think the police department got a big payoff for this shooting from someone. It is honestly the only thing that makes sense at this point.

Seems to me that they are more similar to corrupt Mexican police than "baws".

Uvalde's cops before this never had to do much besides pull people over for speeding tickets.

I get wanting to save wife, but this school district police officer led some of the active shooter trainings in district. It’s human nature to want to protect wife, but would he as a district police officer gone in for the kids and someone else’s wife?

You seem to not know how to capitalize letters or use punctuation.

Edit: If you need help overcoming your
rudimentary understanding of how to keep the original spacing and breaks in a quote using quote function let me know.

They did do something. They prevented people from possibly stopping the shooter by detaining parents

Sounds like we don't need legislation for gun control as much as we need people with training to do their jobs

It does not surprise me that within a month .. We have all the major parts of a "gun safety" bill agreed to ...

Which includes this cop. He appears to only push to go in when wife called after being shot and bleeding out. He wasn’t charging before and his active shooter trainings were part of problem.

You have no idea when the call was placed or anything else so stfu
