78 minutes these ******* waited. For a key supposedly.

I withhold judgement. I'll probably be wrong, but I withhold judgement.

Whenever there is an active attacker in a place where innocent people are by law or policy disarmed, law enforcement MUST be trained and expected to IMMEDIATELY make entry and engage.  Every second counts. THAT IS THE NATIONWIDE CHANGE IN POLICY THAT SHOULD COME AS A RESULT OF THE RECENT INCIDENT.  

 

Not some stupid, ineffective attempt to restrict firearms rights.

Restricting and eventually eliminating all firearms from the hands of law abiding is part of the plan to load us into boxcars. The shootings are the smokescreen.

Wonder if any had and were wearing body armor?

"But we know that police across America prefer to kill innocent people – a lot of Black people – who are unarmed. They break down doors all the time, without warning or a warrant and start firing. During the day. At night. It doesn’t matter. Bullets and battering rams first. Questions – if any – later.

They shoot Black people in their homes. They shoot Black people in their bedrooms. They shoot Black people in their cars. They shoot Black people on the street. They shoot Black people in the back."

Why does MSN reprint Al Jazeera propaganda like this?

[gwalchmai]

MSN.

[Huaco Kid]

I don't know.

I assume the plan is, "I go home, alive, to my family tonight."

Whatever communication cluster-fck, or whatever they decide, happened, so be it.

Apparently the feds are tearing up those checks, since transfers are now allowed if the towns near the bases are not welcoming or to taste.

Pictured is DPS in Stetsons. No matter a chunk of 💩 is a chunk of 💩.

The whole thing wreaks of orchestration.  Pretty not the Texas way, but Texas is about as diverse as it gets, and getting more so daily.

I'm wondering why they needed a key.  The shooter got in without one.

[Hook]

I’ve been reading stuff about this and I didn’t really want to voice an opinion cause I know there are cops on this site. I think they totally fucked up on this. They are supposed to serve and protect and they stood by while an off duty cop went in with the barbers shotgun. There is something fishy about this shooting. I see how these cop’s acted and I lose more and more respect for them. Hell parents were willing to go save their kids and they get cuffed and pepper sprayed. Those parents had a right to protect their kids.

Police serve warrants through locked doors frequently.  A shotgun would also work as a key.

[Fog]

Doors were outswinging security type doors, part of the schools hardening to keep shooters out. 

Halligan tool would open them. So would a good axe if you knew what you were doing.

I don't know what the walls were made of, sometimes doors are the strongest point, if you move over it's only a couple layers of drywall and some metal or wood studs. All the schools around here the doors are the hardest point, walls are weak.

My shooter response bag had first aid trauma packs, lots of bullets, water, door stops, extra flashlight, and a good solid prybar. 

One time we breached a door in a block wall with the pit bumper on a patrol car. You either wait for toys or you get the job done.

[LostinTexas]

Not anti police in the slightest. I have a few very close friends, probably the closest I have, that are LEO. I can't convey what they have said about this whole thing here, Erik would rightfully permaban my sorry hide.

In the end, no matter how improbable, once you eliminate the impossible, what is left must be fact. Correct or not, the whole thing smells.

A teacher used a rock to hold a door open.  Probably for cigarette breaks.

Propped the door open just a few minutes before the shooter entered through that same door. Sounds fishy as hell to me.

[Walt Longmire]

I can't imagine standing around waiting for anything while kids are being slaughtered and bleeding out. For 78 minutes.

[Borg warner]

I don't blame the rank and file Cops but I do blame those who were in charge.

But here's the parts of this article I  especially did not like:

"But we know that police across America prefer to kill innocent people – a lot of Black people – who are unarmed. They break down doors all the time, without warning or a warrant and start firing. During the day. At night. It doesn’t matter. Bullets and battering rams first. Questions – if any – later.

They shoot Black people in their homes. They shoot Black people in their bedrooms. They shoot Black people in their cars. They shoot Black people on the street. They shoot Black people in the back.

And they often get away with it because most of the police officers doing the chasing, shooting and killing are white."

And this:

"All this in a state led by a slick Republican governor who prides himself on letting disturbed teenagers buy weapons and bullets designed not only to kill lots of people, including children, fast, but to disfigure their face and body, sometimes beyond recognition.

Like the two repellant Republican senators from Texas, he doesn’t “represent” the “state,” but the NRA and profiteering death merchants who prefer the “right” to sell and “bear arms” over the right of fourth graders to go and come back from school to their families – whole.

They are cowards, too.

They make excuses for the inexcusable.

They run away when reporters ask them why so many innocents are massacred so often in America and only in America."

And then there was this the article:

The views expressed in this article are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect Al Jazeera’s editorial stance.

On the contrary, some of these views did very much express the views of Al Jazeera  and other anti-American Leftists foreign and domestic, that cops are racists and kill people just because they the power to do so. And it's exactly these kinds of anti-law enforcement attitudes that make police administrators hesitant to use lethal force.

If law enforcement in America  are all rabid. murdering racists, where is the big pile of African bodies?

There are around 700,000 police officers and sheriff's deputies in the US.

If each racist cop murders just one innocent African per year, where are the almost one million bodies?

Gee, mebbe the assertions by Al Jazeera just don't make much sense.
