I don’t know why wearing a vest isn’t the default part of the uniform. They can always keep the car on full blast for air-conditioning.
So, where were they?
They aren’t getting their money’s worth.
Stop the hating!! If not for the police, who else would detain, and even handcuff and pepper-spray, desperate parents trying to rescue their own children from a murderer?
Thieves, goof offs. Hardest part of the job is arranging the double dip.
You act surprised. It is a small town of 15,000 people.
In this case defunding the police might be a good idea after all.
I see they checked most of their woke boxes.
Too none of them is for heroism.
I sense that a disproportionate amount of that budget has been allocated to tacticool rather than tactical.......
To do what?
My post is not criticisms of the Uvalde school but just to contrast Lockport, Louisiana to today Uvalde.
In 1966 we did not have security officers in our high school. Even more oddly during hunting season many had shotguns in their vehicles as we we went hunting after school. This was just normal back then.
The concept of using our weapons in an illegal fashion did not exist in our minds. We killed ducks and other game. The swamp was a paradise for we young hunters.
I grew up in the desert of West Texas and the Swamps of South Louisiana. Both taught me much . I love them both and both can kill you if you do not understand them. Both are wonderful for a young kid but caution should be used. The desert has things that can kill you, the swamp has many things that can kill you.
Try Walking Tall!!!
After an incident has happened the Police show up in force.. Hundreds if not thousands..
How many speeding tickets do they hand out?
Sounds like they’re lacking in man power.
My county Sheriff’s Dept spends over half of their budget on health care for inmates. Now the dem city administration wants to raise my property taxes to pay for new programs for the homeless they keep recruiting. Priorities.
Look at the money they are going to save. There is simply zero reason to keep them at this point.
This was their hour, and they failed.
Also, whither the Federal f*cking Marshals? What were THEY doing helping the local yokels keep parents from rescuing kids (after the local cops rescued THEIR kids of course - nobody restrained them)
And yet what happened was totally FUBAR!
