..."big tough guy" image.

So much for the "highly trained"...

So much for the expensive body armor...

So much for the bravado...

So much for the thin blue line...

So little, so late, so many died...

Pathetic...

their "good guy with a gun" bullshit message right out of the water.

They had at least a half-dozen "good guys with guns" wetting their pants in the parking lot while they waited for someone with an ounce of courage to show up and confront the shooter.

There it is, it's listed as the first priority according to their training documents. It's explicitly not officer safety.

They won't do their job but expect to be paid. That is receipt of taxpayer money for wearing a uniform and DOING NOTHING. Fuck all of them. All delusions of police as protectors of the public are totally destroyed.

Describes the ethos of every police force in every municipality I've ever lived in through out the country.

When I went to school we had fire, tornado drills.

Now kids get to learn in combat zones which is fundamentally wrong and republicons want to increase a military presence.

more unforgivable.

The idea of anyone, let alone children, defenseless and facing an armed attacker should be enough motivation for anyone to charge into any danger - especially when that is your job.
