"We can't go in until the bomb squad gets there", the policeman in apparent charge shouted to a group of officers outside the school. Inside the school, gun shots could be heard. A woman standing nearby screamed at the police, "Go in there". They waited. The shooter spent his leisurely hour dispatching one child after another along with their teachers until class was over for forever.

Earlier, a security guard posted at the school for exactly the protection needed that day was the first person the shooter eliminated.

So, what is the solution to mass shootings at schools. "More police," says Ted Cruz and the chorus

The Parkland Cops ran away. The Buffalo Cop was killed instantly. The 3 Cops at Uvalde were overpowered, then waited 40 min to enter the school.

Veteran Cops repeatedly failed—but we’re supposed to expect Lunch Lady Doris & School Nurse Betty to stop a terrorist with an AR-15

““Go in there! Go in there!” nearby women shouted at the officers soon after the attack began … the officers did not go in.”

Those cowardly cops wouldn't let the parents go in after the cops wouldn't get in. They even got one parent pinned down. Those cops need to be fired.

Fuck. That's awful.

 

[AProudLefty]

I have so many questions. What the fuck went on on that day? Something's wrong.

How bad must it get before we realize that America is fucked up beyond redemption?

"True Believerism" is perpetuating the carnage as much as anything.

This nation needs a page one re-write, and it won't result in a single nation once it happens.

Fuck. That's awful.

Hey, when you hear someone inside an elementary school cracking off pistol shots you always gotta wait for the bomb squad.

They were engaging him beforehand so they knew he didn't have a bomb. What the fuck? The story doesn't add up.

The police *did* engage the shooter before he entered the school. Two of them were shot.

That made me laugh. There's spittles on the screen.

One account I read, they tazed a parent who was trying to go into the school to get his child. They sat outside while 19 children were killed.

Yes. You can see it for yourself.

I mentioned that a security guard posted at the school was the first person shot. Whoever did the “engaging”, it was probably only the shooter who knew he was armed at the time. If the police outside learned of this it only adds to their negligence in doing nothing.

defund the police

Posting an overweight security guard with a sidearm in the school cafeteria isn't going to stop these slaughters.

Yes. You can see it for yourself.

It’s just crazy, but so are allows that allow an 18 year old to buy an assault weapon with no background check and no waiting period.
