New Uvalde School Shooting Report Reveals Cops Suckiest Bunch Of Sucks Who Ever Sucked
Fire them all.

Sunday, an investigative report was released about the police response to the gun massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. It’s pretty damning, with searing criticism for state and federal law enforcement, as well as local authorities. A whopping 376 officers showed up at the scene on May 24 but mostly stood around like dopes for an hour due to “egregiously poor decision making.”

From the Associated Press:

“At Robb Elementary, law enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving innocent lives over their own safety,” the report said.

The gunman fired approximately 142 rounds inside the building — and it is “almost certain” that at least 100 shots came before any officer entered, according to the report, which laid out in detail numerous failures.

Buckle up and grab a tissue, as we recount the many failures that led to 21 dead humans, including 19 children. Thirty-eight people in total were gunned down.

No one assumed command of the officers, even though there were enough present to film an entire season of "Law & Order: Especially Useless Unit.” A Border Patrol tactical team commander waited — while children were murdered — for a bulletproof shield and a master key for the classroom door. The school police chief, Pete Arredondo, frantically searched for a key but didn’t think to ask the fucking principal, who had one. Here’s an especially appalling sentence from the New York Times account: "The usefulness of a specialized tool to pry open the door was tested but then rejected as too dangerous to officers.” Such heroism.

1. The SC has given the cops qualified immunity and decided they have no specific duty to serve...

and protect. So why should they do anything.

3. I saw someone posit that the cops didn't take out the shooter because they were afraid of lawsuits

280 characters aren’t nearly enough to explain what is wrong with this article that suggests the officers in Uvalde might have hesitated because qualified immunity protections in the Fifth Circuit are too weak. So that’s why I have written this 🧵…

As a gunman approached Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, one police officer had an AR-15 trained on the suspect. Why didn't he take the shot?

Maybe because cops who pulled the trigger under similar circumstances have ended up in court.🧵https://freebeacon.com/courts/the-legal-precedents-that-haunt-uvalde/…

Of course the article was in Free Beacon which is a Far-Right rag.

2. The reason most people support the police is that they're (purportedly) ready and willing to risk

their own lives to stop bad guys from hurting innocents. If these cowards weren't prepared to do that, why do we even need cops?

4. Well we did get into a fight on this board earlier about the justification

of the shooting of the teenage girl, Ma'Khia Bryant, in Columbus who was in the process of stabbing a young woman.

This while her dad was busy trying to kick another young woman in the head instead of tackling his armed daughter.

The first reaction on this board is to criticize any police shooting even those that are justified.

That being said there is no excuse for not shooting him once he started firing his rifle (after he crashed his car). Obviously any LEO following him into the school should try to kill him ASAP. That being said we should be willing to accept collateral causalities in the attempt.
