I can’t think of any story where it just gets worse and worse with each revelation

As long as they don’t do gun control, I don’t care how many kids get killed.

This is clearly a case where armed citizens would have done a better job. I say this as someone who normally “backs the Blue”.

Due to their ineffectiveness, they should have stood down and let the parents of the 500 students take over.

> Was there no leadership structure to all those officers? They are trained to respond to direction and specific orders. <

Police officers are also trained to show initiative, and respond to threats quickly. So what we have here is a failure to lead, a failure to show initiative, and simple ordinary cowardice.

I suppose we’ll never know which of those three factors contributed the most to the police failure. But cowardice certainly played a part. I wonder how any of those cops can look themselves in the mirror.

I also wonder how a Uvalde resident can stomach it when they see a Uvalde police officer in the street.

They just told on themselves.

If they can get that specific, they can report on (1) the training for each officer before the incident, (2) the persons that created obstacles in procedure, and (3) each officers’ understanding on where training + procedure went wrong.

what was his name again? got to remember him along with Ashley, Lavoy, Rittenhouse, and other heros.

i saw a picture of him with hair and scalp creased by a bullet from the psych drugged, parentally abandoned, abused and armed, fed ‘schooled,’ gang banger wannabe, narcissistic, mama’s boy, nut job.

The first cop on the scene had a clear shot. He asked for permission to shoot. He never got an answer

Had I lost a loved one the is no question I would pick a cop. The pig on the left drinking water.. as an arbitrary choice.

I'd pay him a visit. A Jessie Pinkman/Gale Boetticher type of social call. I don't know why that doesn't happen.

”..I don’t care how many kids get killed”

What kind of idiot comment was that? I’ve read a lot of childish, stupid, and unfeeling statements on the Freerepublic, but you lead the pack with that one.

In that case, he should have presumed he had permission.

The bigger problem though is that he asked.
