Uvalde reelected everyone involved in the MURDER and COVERUP and CHILDREN!
The profits must flow.
I hear some reports that they're using individual officers as well
That’s good. No more borg response teams; they show no initiative whatsoever.
Ah yes, better training for police officers, that ought to fix it.
I support them fully, but don’t expect them to have much success.
Remembering this story makes my blood boil. Don't be a cop if you're a fucking pussy.
It's turning more to be If you weren't a fucking pussy, why would you associate and claim these as your people?
How sociopathic do you have to be to hear screaming children and gunshots from inside a school and not try to do something?
Like, do you not have even the most basic human instinct to protect children?
I'm sure most of the cops were very eager to go in. As soon someone else tried first, they'd have been right behind them.
And every last one of them should have been the type to go first. There were kids screaming for help and they didn't act. I don't care if they would have, they didn't.
Ever been at a playground with your kid, and you hear a scream? Turns out it was someone else's kid and they're already on it but you're already on your feet and so are half the parents there. It's hard wired. Their training might not be good for keeping people safe, but it sure as hell must be good at subverting basic human instincts.
~~Are you seriously comparing the sounds of children dying in a fucking school shooting to kids playing in a park?~~
Edit: I need better reading comprehension.
How are you getting that from what I wrote? I'm saying it's a basic human instinct that when you hear a child in distress you find yourself moving toward that child, whether it's yours or not. There were a lot of police there, and none of them acted on that instinct. I'm agreeing with you. It's insane that none of those people, many if not most of whom were parents, acted on that natural instinct to protect children.
I find it particularly grim that their training must be excellent at subverting basic human emotions but apparently doesn't do anything to help them actually protect and serve. It's clearly effective, it's just horrifying what they're training them to be.
Sorry, I didn't fully process what you had wrote as this whole thing is insanely distressing.
I totally get it. I'm a parent and it screwed me up pretty bad and I still randomly think about it without any prompting. It's shameful that it happened and it's shameful that nothing will be done about it.
People become cops because they already were pussies
Then they should use the job to get the fuck over it
This is the unfortunately correct answer.
Remember the harassment the parents received after calling the police out? What a world.
Now this explains sudden retirement of Uvalde police chief. Way to go!
I wish so bad I believed in YHWH's hell so I could sleep knowing he would spend all of eternity there.
