Well stated."Never let a tragedy go to waste!" The mantra of the Left Wing. "Guns are BAD"." "Take all guns away!" Well, they did that in the UK and look at the statistics on violence. Knives, machetes, clubs make up the weapons of choice for the criminals in Britain. Search the statistics; the interviews of street hoods and the citizens who want to protect their homes. Hey Biden, Pelosi, Schoomer and the rest...IT AIN'T THE GUNS! Pass all the anti-gun laws you want, but it won't change anything. Stop releasing serious criminals because they "Had an unhappy childhood." And for those who don't know...an AR15 is NOT a military rifle. On Uvalde...I'll wait for the complete investigation report to decide what went wrong. Blessings to the victims and their families.

Yes this is a tremendous lawsuit waiting to happen. Plus criminal charges should be filed against those officers who tazed and/or arrested the parents.Methinks it's time for the parents to take a stand there and take action. Parents tazed? Handcuffed? For trying to do save the kids which is what the police should have been doing? That is way beyond the line...
Texas school shooting: Uvalde parents reportedly arrested, tased while trying to save kids
Uvalde parents have concerns about the police response to Tuesday's mass shooting and safety protocols that were apparently not enforced
I back actions. Not agencies.
To some extent, that is based on performance.
I used to, not sure anymore
Time will tell. But as of now it's not looking good. I hope things turn out to be different though. Even if it's solely for the sake of perception of LE through the lense of the society.
It's the pattern we've seen with both examples.
How is it too early? The official police press conference and timeline said shooter entered the building at 11:33 after shooting at people outside and 3 police entered the same door as shooter 2 minutes later. 4 more police entered a few minutes later. Within 15 minutes there were 19 police outside the room he was in. He was not shot until 12:58 pm, roughly 90 minutes later. Cowardice, incompetence, and criminal negligence.
I still STRONGLY back blue. Many cites are seeing first hand what happens when they push "lets hate all cops". My feeling towards them does NOT make me excuse incompetence, or corruption though. Certainly looks like plenty of incompetence and probably downright cowardice to go around in this incident. If its as bad as it "looks"? Lot of people who should NEVER have had the job as an LEO. Sadly again the voters keep getting what they ask for. The job has been so heavily political for a LONG time now. Hiring is so often done on a "we need to check boxes" not who is best.
"...raced to the school from nearly 70 miles away..."
As so often happens a LOT of lying was being done right from the start. The biggest problem with that is of course there is no way to just sweep something like this under the rug. So of course all that lying soon comes back to haunt those who were trying to cover up what happened. Soon no one will believe ANYTHING the people speaking say about any of this. Because they tried to do a LOT of CYA, they now look like morons and worse. This one will keep an army of lawyers busy for a decade. Not to mention those who lost loved ones? They will have to live with always wondering was it completely preventable?
Looking at map that is a barren wasteland between those small towns. Having driven barren wastelands without the benefit of sirens or any kind of escort, I think it is very doable personally. I could comment on how I know this but some people get offended if you drive over the speed limit even if it's deserted roads so I won't comment on it (plus it will send me on the rabbit hole of talking about fast cars from the past he he).
The SCOTUS handed down a ruling in 1981...in essence, there's no duty to protect...criminal negligence won't fly, unless the current SCOTUS sees it different.
