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.
And that’s the fucking problem with all this shit. “Guess that’s what they want”.
It doesn’t matter what they fucking want. Cops violate protocol. Cops got children killed. Cops SHOULD have gone straight to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect your pension.
I’m just saying, if my kid had gotten killed in that shooting, I would make it my life’s mission to eliminate every cop that didn’t do anything. Through my own means of force if necessary.

“But,” said Arthur, going in for the big one again, “why?”
“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in.
I guess that’s the kind of policing Uvalde wants 🤷♂️
Not sure why anyone would want to live in a town like that though.
Well the kids don’t have a choice or a vote. Some, permanently now.

Reminds me of the Douglas Adam’s bit
