19 students, 3 adults dead in Texas elementary shooting.

Guess that explains why cops regularly say their motto is "To PROTECT and serve"?

And you say “defund the police”.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

No literally Just schools....why can't we use guns to protect our most precious and purist individuals? They are the future. Do you not think they should be protected? Do you not care about little children? Would you use a gun to protect your family?

Schools are the classic soft target because the students can't be armed and the teachers aren't paid security, they're teachers.

You can't expect teachers to be proficient enough with weapons to be effective against a heavily armed, armored shooter.

It's not about not wanting to protect the kids. It's about teachers not being trained, school systems not having the money to continue training, supply weapons, supply gun safes, supply insurance, etc.

If you've not noticed, there are a lot of schools that have to fight tooth and nail to just have basic supplies because no one wants their taxes to rise for teacher salaries and supplies. Are you suggesting the Feds will administer this? That's not how most funding for schools works AND since when has having the Feds messing in schools been a good thing?

It's not a workable solution.

Yes seriously. You label everywhere outside of a major city "hick".

Not true. Just places where small town thinking and redneck locality group think exists

I can't wrap my mind around the 40 minute delay.

The average cop is a ticket handing bad ass and not much more. There are good cops out there but a ton of useless ones.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

You train so that reaction becomes second nature and overrides the natural panic.

The police have a lot of questions they need to answer.

I agree on both points, but…

How many of us here have faced a similar scenario? The body cannot go where the mind has not been. No amount of training fully equips you for your first “shots being fired” call. That part I do know a little about.

Let the facts come out, then ask the tough questions.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I didn't realizing someone survived. But I don't envy her for one second of what she's about to live through.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Well there you go, Parkland.

SRO are all worthless. My mind has been changed.

I don't want to hear anything else about needing more cops in school.

Right that hero label is overused these days

The tough questions need to be asked now before the stories can get coordinated.

I can agree with not being reckless with your life but 40 minutes is way too long to do nothing.

I think step one should be not allow an 18 year old to legally purchase this type of weapon. Is that so ****ing hard?

What about 19 year olds? 20? 21? What is magic about 18? Hell the left wants to allow 10 year olds to decide if they want sex changes or abortions.

 

[AshG]

A 10 year old should absolutely have an abortion. Too young to consent, too young to carry a child to term. Likely a product of rape or incest.

I agree with the rest of your statement.

 

[rjd970]

This is little hick school. Sounds like the teachers weren’t even sure who had a key

Also appears right now the LE have the same competency level.

 

[BreatheUT]

Show up to a thread about 22 murdered children and teachers to pick a fight about democrats and George Floyd. Can't hide class.

Apparently you missed the Obama tweet. So you're right.

 

[BreatheUT]

I don't care if Obama says it's okay or not, trash is trash.

Who are you referring to as trash? A former POTUS finds a way to mix this tragedy with George Floyd. He speaks on the democrat priorities and platform.

Should let DOE run it…..

We're back to the standard GOP solutions. Prayer, always so effective. Zero percent of the time it works everytime.

What is the looney lib solution?

True. What we need is more federal government. That works.

 

[evillawyer]

Ahh, so we have a problem because we have angry young males. No other country has those.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

What do you expect them to do? Let angry parents run into an unknown situation? If they got shot the officers would be sued and fired

Protecting the cops...

Remember, LEO has no obligation to protect.

In a sad, twisted way, I'm with evil on this. I don't think just praying is going to cut it. Need more than that.

 

[BreatheUT]

True. What we need is more federal government. That works.

And Schumer wants to add 3 new departments to the federal government. He must be crazy.

 

[Rickyvol77]

You believe they should be able to let random people enter an active violent crime scene?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Police face questions over response to Texas school shooting



The officers were outside the building.



How ****ing long did it take them to ask for a damn key?

Take note. We need to find out what kind of doors those are if LEOs can't breach them without a key.
