As a former law enforcement officer, I can say that this was a total failure of law enforcement. Mike’s video was spot on. If you’re not willing to write a blank check backed by your life to protect innocent kids then you need to turn your stuff in. Thanks to Mike and Andy for bringing this topic up.

[@RollieFingers59]

I’m a first responder/officer for 34 years on the FD side of things. We trained on active shooter situations with our LE partners in our local elementary school decades ago and I’ve been on 2 calls where shots were being actively fired. I’m confident there would be no way any of our guys could be held back from going into a place like our local school and doing what needs to be done. I just can’t wrap my head around this.

[@jimmynguyen7969]

I think it kind of makes sense. Some people are scared and some people are not. Out of the first 8 cops. You have 3 cops who were willing to rush.in. Then when it came down to it one of them got shot and and came back for more. Then the hall ways gets clogged up With cowards and now you have a bunch of cops outside thinking things are ok in the school. Mike talked about that first cop who got shot at and came back. If you had one more guy like him and another guy with a shield. I'm thinking they all would rush in. What i JUST DO not understand is HOW many of them knew about all those dead kids in there? That first cop probably saw a few bodies? Maybe none? Cause at that moment the rest of the rooms were being evacuated right? Even then 50-60 shots hit those kids before they had a chance to get him. So was it possible that no one knew how bad it was in there? No one knew how many kids were in there? What i don't know is where were the cops when he popped off 50-60 shots in the first 3 minutes? Were they all outside or slowly gathering up?It was those first 3 minutes that scares tf out of me. dude im just so angry man. I have class and stuff and finals and my mind can't get away from this. A bunch of little kids man. :(

Even as a person who has no training, I would be hard pressed not respond with the determination to put an immediate halt on the active shooters attempt to take lives based on an Antichristisn ideology that reveals the same spirit that libs take on to justify their blinded stupidity.

[@bc2815]

As a LEO myself, the response in TX was absolutely a shit show, every single one of those officers should be fired and charged. I am sick and tried of seeing failures make it into the law enforcement profession and continue to be failures. Law enforcement training and standards is completely trash nation wide. Agencies are more worried about money then funding real meaningful training and officers are lazy as fuck and refuse to seek outside training. I am disgusted at current law enforcement training and standards.

[@OK-1K1]

"Thin Blue Line" works both ways. Until LEO as institution and community is willing to be open and transparent - there will be no accountability or change (for every Uvalde there's probably hundreds of fuck ups that go unnoticed). And in the current political climate that's like expecting Alex Jones to rehabilitate himself. You guys are gonna have to watch that house burn to the ground first.

[@recce_5.0.freedom59]

Yeah hi, I’m also a city cop. So here’s the thing. I’ve gone & done my own outside training. I’ve saved for it, and gone as far as taken small loans out to afford it. Military experience is also another nice tool to have under my belt. However, some of these guys are being charged an arm & a leg for outside training that their PD won’t give. Now yes, you cannot put a price on a course which will give you the necessary tools to make sure your chances of coming home after shift are higher. However, you can put a price on a mortgage, child necessities, & food on the table. All of which you won’t have much of, if the majority of your paycheck goes to outside training because we all know it ain’t cheap. Although at the end of the day, training isn’t the only thing needed, intestinal fortitude is. As we all say. Everyone wants to do it till it’s time to do it. & in the words of the great R. Coleman “Ain’t nothin to it but to do it” Stay safe y’all.

[@bc2815]

@@Mr_A_Observations I disagree with your opinion. While I understand policing is difficult I love the job and it is easily doable to be honorable and a LEO just takes work.

[@mugshotmarley]

If you're an LEO, then you know it's always been this way. It's not like within the past few years training stop. These types of scenarios rarely/never happen in a patrolmans career. Not excusing them, but its a matter of complacency. 90% of the time patrol is dealing with petty crimes, complaints and community policing. 9.9% are more severe incidents involping knifes/weapons (not guns). Very small percentage are guns (trading fire). It was a normal day and the responding officers did not rise to the occasion of force. Either through inexperience and/or not enough training. And to allocate funds and training time out of already fund limited departments and understaffed patrol officers who have barely enough time to complete their daily workflow of investigations. Its a receipe for disaster when unfortunately they all align up like Uvalde.

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

@@mugshotmarley Uvalde PD had 40% of the entire cities budget and literally all the money they could want including tactical vehicles, Gucci gear, and even their own training areas. This was not about their lack of funding and that excuse is just another reason why no one should respect you police. You can't even get the facts straight for your argument.

As a cop in Texas, I can tell you that there is a lot of agencies that have the same culture as Uvalde. Timid and too worried about “liability”. Command staff that are just there to collect a paycheck and achieve a retirement.

[@BAD-MF]

With 28 years as a LEO, you took an oath to protect the community you serve. By doing so, you had to stop bad people preying on the good. And sometimes it got dirty, but effective. It’s a personal decision to accept that bad things could happen to yourself by running towards gunfire, stopping a bad guy that doesn’t want to go to jail and will fight to the end, and we are more than happy to help the good people. And there were people there only to collect a paycheck and wanted nothing to do with anything remotely dangerous. Those who are scared of their own shadows have promoted and have slowly made policies over time to weaken the police department’s ability to stop bad people from doing bad things. Upper management would rather have the street cops do nothing than to have to explain why an officer did what they did to stop evil from happening. Coupled with defunding the police and upper management taking a knee thinking it was a good political move, and punishing the hard workers for doing their jobs. Weakness breeds weakness and punishes those who are different. Maybe with the lack of getting to the threat was a combination of weakness and fear of being retaliated from management. It’s not difficult to get a team together and rapidly deploy and move on the suspect and stop his actions, and not caring the ramifications from a weak management which will follow. If you want more get in touch.

There was a farm worker mother who was cuffed- begged to be released and was released. She begged for a vest and gun to take out the shooter. She evaded law enforcement and went in to where she knew her kids' classrooms were and opened the door to let those children escape. Yes, this could have interfered with the op, and she didn't know the shooter was confined to kill and torture at will in two rooms, but all the parents could see, and their instincts told them, the cops weren't saving their kids!

[@tlotus3032]

@@ShakazuluJones it's an interesting topic: genes, empathy, mother bear instinct, and perhaps those who believe they may exist in another form after death are more willing to sacrifice their form in this life. Even if I didn't believe in that, I wouldn't want to live with myself in this one if I failed to act. Most humans haven't evolved beyond the sheep faze, though.

I received 10 times more training as an MP than I did as a civilian LEO. JOCKO recommends 20% of duty time should be training. That is the MINIMUM!

For one, obviously your pod is one of the best and most interesting out there Andy(up there with Mikes podcast, Shawn Ryans podcast, Ritlands podcast etc. all such great, and IMPORTANT podcasts) but when you and Mike get together for an episode its always memorable in so many different ways. I hope you and Mike both know that there are A LOT of us out there that agree with everything you guys are saying and we support you guys because youre not only extremely capable guys with a wealth of knowledge but youre (seemingly) some of the few really good guys left who are trying to make a real difference with their platforms. I for one definitely agree this country needs guys like you and many others cut from the same cloth(Mike, Jocko, Tim Kennedy etc.) to not only run for office but win more than ever before in this country, and the fact that it seems impossible to get good guys like yall into positions high up in the government is alone a testament to how deeply corrupt our country and system is right now, it pains me to say this but it really feels like we are RAPIDLY descending into a VERY bad direction in this country that favors the very few(of course some of those people, are the very deeply corrupt people in power) and im unsure how we could possibly completely turn the country around, because we desperately, desperately need to ASAP.
