Texas Cops Afraid to Confront Mass Shooter?

Exactly! Firefighters are well-respected for a reason. People with guns are basically cowards.

Also from your link:
"Police officers know they can’t fight off a semi automatic weapon with a goddamn hand gun. It’d be nice if they admitted it. Ban those damn war weapons. No reason why a civilian needs one."

If they support military-style weapons on our streets, then police and gun-owning civilians should be willing to lay down their life in an attempt to disarm any killer armed with one.

The firefighters would have to start showing up to 911 calls and set the caller on fire in order to be comparable to cops.

I'm guessing they didn't do their usual shoot everything that moves on account of it being an elementary school.

They carry a pry open tool Halligan tool to get into houses. The police didn't bring them in because they didn't know the shooter was in a room that was supposed to be locked when class starts.The back door isn't supposed to be propped open with a trash can either, but they do that all the time also.

Fuck the Police songs exist because the leftist media lies that police are racist. Every cop deserves an apology from the left and the media.

I wonder why the police department was given 650k by the city to modernize its equipment, why the school had a top-notch surveillance system that's recommended by the governor, why the police were given a 500k state grant and why they're siphoning 40% of the city's budget. It's to stand outside the school and do nothing and also to get kids killed by having them call out for help while there's an active shooter situation.

A mother was afraid to go into the school to get 2 of her kids out, yet she did it anyway.

I guess it's really not their job to protect people as per multiple SCOTUS rulings.

Police solve just 2% of major crimes. They're wildly ineffective. They solve less than half of murders, less than 10% of rapes, 3% of burglaries, 6% of robberies and 1% of larcenies. I know, let's throw more cash at them so they can get more military-grade equipment. That'll surely turn them into crime-solving geniuses.

The public trusts the police so little that about half of crimes are never even reported in the first place.

"The cops inaction is basically the best argument in support of the 2nd Amendment like ever"

Cops should have opened them to free the children and arrest the gunman.

You're a Texan. Why didn't you rush to the site with your guns and confront the gunman since the cops were too afraid?

Could it be, a reasonable reply that aligns with reality instead of emotionally charged misperceptions and ideological rhetoric?

Yes it is!

However, that perception isn't entirely without merit. Them standing around while this monster slaughtered children is not just a bad look, it's very bad policy. Hopefully you're correct that such procedures are changing. If there's any silver lining to this incident, it will hopefully spur on such changes, because I can't help but agree that them standing around during an active shooting event when this is a possible outcome is reprehensible. They need to figure out how to do a better job of assessing whether or not a situation is an active shooter or a hostage scenario. Not to mention that prior to the event itself, there were a ton of red flags that were triggered and blatantly ignored, and then this cretin was allowed to purchase two semi-automatic high capacity rifles. There's a lot of failure to go around here. But thank you for possessing the insight to provide a rare measured, factually-based response to the OP.

To everyone else: ideological flaming does NOT solve problems. It only exacerbates them. Wise up.

this is how things work in dementia Joes new America. when will Brandon put an end to the mass murders and fix climate change?

So what you are suggesting is that the Texas police have not been trained to do their jobs. If they are 'too afraid' to confront a shooter, or too afraid to confront the unexpected, then they were not properly trained in doing their jobs - which is to protect and serve their citizens, especially to protect elementary children.

I guess it's that Republican logic of how to train police ? Maybe they were trained to stand outside a building and offer 'thoughts and prayers' to the victims, rather than actual protection.

🤣🤣🤣
