I don't condone riots. But if someone set fire to their police station. I'd send thoughts and prayers.

The cops had some playbook they thought they were following and it was way, way wrong, but that doesn't mean the kid wasn't an authentic case to begin with.

Ugh, phone internet is slower than molasses, I missed your post.
Is that a national rule, or do places have the option of choosing their own individual approaches? I honestly don't know, so...

When a police officer gets shot you won't see other police waiting around detaining themselves from getting the b'stard.
So what this means is some big deceptions are being played out with this. (Whatever that may mean.)

Yeah ... let me give up my guns so you can protect me by standing around while I get chased won by an active shooter.
That plays well.

Due to inept law enforcement, each family should get $25 million from the state, like George Floyd's parents got.

Why is it, when you hear of a person in a depressed
mental state wanting to commit suicide,
the cops do not hesitate in killing him instead of
sending in negotiators and trained medical staff ?
YET when there is a obvious active shooter, who is
known to police that he shot his grandmother and
is in an elementary school where shots can be heard,
the police erroneously decide to wait for a negotiator ?
wtf ?
I never even thought of this, very good question that needs to be answered!

People have to understand that not every place has a SWAT team or a team of highly trained people to deal with stuff like this
Uvalde is about 16000 people, everyone knows EVERYONE, they had to wait to callin BORTAC from the border patrol to even get things moving.
That being said, If i was an officer at that school you wouldnt have been able to stop me from going in there and try and put an end to the nightmare
