39 times over several years, and I haven't seen much detail on what legal actions they could have taken, if any.
And the FBI acknowledges it had a tip on January 5th of this year that was specific that Cruz had guns, a desire to kill people, and a desire to shoot up a school. And the FBI acknowledges protocol was not followed on that tip and it was never followed up.
And my main point is that in the two biggest massacres in recent years, two different federal bureaucracies failed to follow through on critical procedures designed to help prevent the type incidents that occurred. How many more cases are there where procedures were not followed?
Too often, a nutcase appears out of nowhere, with little warning and a clean criminal/mental health record. But when we do have clear warnings or indications, it has to be a priority to respond to those, and enter the information needed to allow the current system to work as intended.
