    Now imagine how the parents of Uvalde felt. Police showed up, and not only did nothing, but actively prevented OTHER parents, who were showing up to storm the grounds to shoot the shooter themselves. But the police protected the shooter, causing the deaths of more kids. If memory serves me right, 12 kids had died before parents showed up. And something like 37 died by days end.

    Meaning, even if the police did nothing, and allowed the parents to go through, parents would have shot the shooter and saved 25 more kids.

    Imagine knowing your kid is dead because police were afraid.

      Don’t worry I already had a discussion re: uvalde the other day with somebody who was bootlicking. We don’t call cops in this house.

        Wait until people start looking into how and why mobs were originally formed in the 1920’s. Police are selfish, opportunistic thugs in any age. Sometimes communities need to create their own police force to save themselves from the cops.
