Police are supposed to do nothing and stand around.
Do you think it was a coincidence 150 just miraculously wind up doing that, around their cars, shooting the breeze, across the police, sheriff’s department, and other entities joining the picnic?
If only one law enforcement agency told their people to stand down, the rest were free to do some work, but they only get paid to eat donuts.
Ugh.
Disgusting. What do we pay them for? I guess Blue Lives Matter more than kids!
It was a set up. They manipulated the kid, then stood aside.
Angeli Rose, I would have done the same thing you did if my child was in that place!
Sure, just let all the parents run in there.
That’d be a great situation, wouldn’t it?
Hell, man... sell tickets.
What could go wrong?
Throw a bag of donuts over the fence ... problem solved.
Isn’t this what Obama and Holder said America wanted - Federalized police who act like government bureaucrats?
Just a general comment to the LEOs ... this is the kind of shit that will get you shot. I highly advise against such actions.
Priorities.
This story is taking a turn for the worse, as Lucy would say, they have some splaining to do. Taking only 2 minutes of questions at the last presser is not a good look.
You can all rest easy knowing that our law enforcement officers are ok and injury free...
They will all be receiving overtime pay and paid “stress” leave while recovering from their traumatic experience...
However, they looked really impressive in their surplus military equipment and the bravery they exhibited in the face of those howling frantic parents...
Undoubtably there will be promotions and medals in the next few months once these grieving parents quiet down and disperse...
Why wait for a stinking “tactical team” when 4 or 5 cops with shotguns and body armor could have rushed or charged the suspect and shot him to death?

Not sure what this one is TX State Trooper? End of video shows a few State Trooper SUVs
There’s a time to plan and a time to act. When something nefarious is going down, then one needs to act, and plan while in motion, while dealing with the nefarious activity, not plan and then act. The second group to arrive can deal with the perimeter. The first group to arrive deals with the bad actors, close, up front and personal. My opinion, backed up by my experience in federal law enforcement, lo those many decades ago.
that video is really sad
THIS is not going to help community unity one bit.
If you can, no matter what it takes, get your kids out of the public school systems.
They’re doing exactly as they’ve been trained: Hold position and wait for someone with authority to make a decision. Don’t place yourself in any danger; That’s not your job.
Seriously.
all this says is that if you’re in a position, don’t rely on police or any leo. they don’t know how to run to trouble any more.
