Thank You!

I’m so tired of reading that crap.

It seems like one of the consistent fallout results of mass shootings and crime in general, are analyses that make LE look inept, corrupt or both.

The saturation of “the police are bad” stories in the media have been non-stop for years now. The agenda is clear - “Let’s make everybody hate cops!” It’s working, but I don’t think anyone ragging on the (alleged) lack of police response wants to inhabit a world without law enforcement, or with federally-controlled local police, kind of like TSA agents but worse. Think it can’t happen? God help us.

People get so caught up in the emotional moment that they forget that law enforcement personnel are trained to respond in dangerous situations. They’re not perfect, but they’re human beings who chose a profession that they know puts them in harms way.

The events, the stories are crafted to get maximum emotional response.

They want police, just not local police, but a National Police Force taking orders from DNC Headquarters.

I am just relieved to know I am not alone in recognizing the leftist spew.

I was starting to worry that FR was circling the drain. There are some real knobs on here.

If we know our overlords, they’ve got the plan ready to go.

Many Americans, including some first responders, are now overwhelmed by the political stupidity and treachery from within government. Political correctness and so much emphasis on non-problems, like which pronoun to use, have turned America into a "Puffnstuff" nation. Increasingly, "we can't do a little cause we can't do enough."

I pray that GOD will soon grant the wisdom to a dedicated majority that will clean out the detritus that's a distraction to American greatness and an existential threat to all of us.

NO ! Prison for life or executed. They should lose everything dear to them.

Sorry, I’ll have to disagree. This is too similar to other mass school shootings, where the cops waited outside until everyone was dead before entering the building.

Its possible to be pro-cop and still recognize instances where they have missed the mark. Even, as in this case, shamefully so.

Remember, they want you to give up your guns and trust the cops to protect you. But, as they say, when seconds count, the cops are just 58 minutes away.

I haven’t seen anyone mention the 2016 pulse nightclub massacre. 49 people murdered as police took over three hours to breach building and neutralize the killer. Police claimed lessons learned based on other mass shootings ,that “officers can minimize casualties only by entering shooting location expeditiously , even if it means putting themselves at great risk.” I think they said same thing after columbine in 1999. I guess they have poor institutional memory.

These were school police. About as good as the safety patrol I was seargent of when I was in the 6th grade.
They are like TSA in the airports. Really brave against the cowed public, having absolute power, but never expecting to go up against any dangerous adversaries.
DPS, Sheriff’s deputies, and city policemen I know would have ignored the fall back order and gone in and stopped.

[Pikachu_Dad]

I thought it was four agents who went in?

One holding a shield. One of them took a graze wound to the head.

Ya'll got trolled by the media. Salvador had a driver's license since December 14, 2021, and issued for the same address where his grandfather Rolando Valle Reyes is, also residence of sister Marisabelle. Grandfather is either a big liar trying to cover his ass or is such a drunk he has no idea what's been going on under his own roof. He's the one with the driving issues - has a history of problems with booze and DWIs, probably why he had to get a state ID in 2018. Salvador never had an ID, only ever a DL. As for any "neighbors", what the hell would they know about anything. Hearsay at best, made up media crap at worst.

"These were school police. "

I read that there were 19 "policemen" in the hall of the school. There were only four school cops total on the school force. Not counting the coward in chief.

School police paid to protect children but hoping they never have to. How utterly convenient. I guess those active shooter drills were a waste of time.
