The struggle here is that the cops are trying to hide the fact that they cowered in fear and left those children with a madman. Cowardice and lies.

[@juliec5309]

To be fair, that type of weapon shouldn't even be in circulation. If someone armed with it stops cops right in their track...how does common folk stand any chance. The answer is simple, take these away. Do a background check, raise the age to 21, register all weapons, license needed to own one. All easy enough solutions

If they had went in and got the killer you all would be screaming at police for using “lethal force” and would be trying to convict them in court.

@@juliec5309 If you cannot live your life without access to firearms, it's because you are a coward. Firearms have all but one purpose. They are designed for one thing only and that is to kill as efficiently as possible. To the world outside USA, this is just one more piece of evidence of the American cowardice that seems to be a national disease in America.

These cops are disgraceful, they should be ashamed of themselves. I've been saying this for years: they are hiring just about anybody these days. That's why there is so much incompetence, unarmed shootings and corruption these days. People who are cops these days do it for the power. You used to have to be brave and helpful to the public. But so many cops today scare so easily which leads them to shoot first and ask questions later. They aren't willing to give their life to protect the public. Many cops these days are just wusses and people that were bullied in school and now want to have the power in their favor. If you aren't willing to risk your life then you shouldn't be a cop. There are far too many traffic cops who just drive around giving tickets and never help anybody. Unqualified, under-trained, wrong temperament and in it for all the wrong reasons. Reduce the amount of cops and you'll have a higher quality of police, safer streets and more trust between police and the general public.

I was a teacher for 30 years. We had a gunman on campus but since it was in California, we had over a dozen buildings, not a single one. The local cops IMMEDIATELY engaged the gunman (no shots fired, but the cops had shotguns and sidearms ready). They didn't "establish a perimeter", they didn't wait for orders, they risked their own lives to stop this guy in his tracks. Chased him across campus. My students and I were sheltering in our classroom and the gunman was trying to break in when the cops surrounded him and took him down. If it'd been these useless badge-toters in Uvalde? We'd likely all have been killed. Some cops are cowards and some aren't. These guys are all cowards and aren't fit to have that badge.

Teachers have died for their students. Unarmed, untrained, and obviously outgunned, these people have given their lives by throwing themselves in front of doors, covering children with their own bodies, and attempting to fight back. During the Virginia Tech shooting, a professor who was a Holocaust survivor threw himself against the door to buy time for his students to escape through the window as the shooter attempted to get inside. He perished a hero who actually saved lives. Only one student in his classroom lost their life as the professor was shot four times through the door. Zero excuses.

I don't know how a teacher just sits there without throwing a desk through the window and telling all the kids to bail like clearly the police had no interest in protecting anyone

[@delaney6413]

My English teacher during my junior year had a classroom right next to one of the outside doors. She legit told us that we ain't sitting in there waiting to be shot. If we hear gunshots a good distance away, we are all booking it outside and into the woods. Anywho, this is entirely speculation, but I dunno if breaking the window would've been viable here. Those windows break into sharp glass which pose a massive risk to little clumsy kids. Takes a lot of force to do so as well considering that elementary teachers are overwhelmingly made up of women. Also risks making a lot of noise which could alert the intruder to where they are. (I am a woman myself)
