Across the country, states require more training to prepare students and teachers for mass shootings than for those expected to protect them. The differences were clear in Uvalde, where children and officers waited on opposite sides of the door.
Those kids exhibited poise and bravery that the cops didn’t and couldn’t even comprehend. To no avail. I don’t know how much more can be said about this incident that hasn’t already been, but I wish a pox on every one of those useless officers. I wish upon them the most horrible things that can’t even be spoken of. What a way for kids to learn that adults, even the most trusted ones, can be stupid and disappointing.
I don’t spend very much time on hate, but I’ll make an exception for them.
Civilian or cop, and I hate that sort of distinction, if you wish to carry a firearm you must understand safety, lethality, practice under pressure, and fuck me, 100 other variables. If you don’t want to learn all that? Then don’t pick up a weapon.
This lib has an AR-15. Ironically sold to me via other libs chanting, “BAN!” after Uvalde. Meh, might as well get grandfathered if I ever want one. Good job guys?
It’s almost boring to shoot with a dialed in red-dot sight. I ain’t Annie Oakley, but I can easily put steel on target when shaking all over. I can swap a mag while shitting myself. I practice.
So they were up against a kid with a good weapon, equally armed and presumably better trained? And children’s lives were on the line?
If you were a cop on that day, in those circumstances, it was your fucking responsibility to engage. And yes, that might mean your personal extinction. That might be the consequences when you pick up a weapon. If you can’t handle that? I got no problem. But pick up a rifle? Go fucking fight.
