Funny how everyone's an armchair expert on Uvalde yet no one knew at the time how many shooters there were, how many kids were still alive in that classroom, whether it was a hostage situation or not or if there were explosive devices involved like at Columbine so the sheer ignorance of people who think storming that classroom would have solved everything when the shooter(s) could have been laying there with a human shield of kids in front of them with weapons trained on the door just waiting for the cops to try and enter. For all anyone knew they could have had pipe bombs rigged to explode if the door opened. Those guys who responded are just cops. They are not superhuman but they have to face being judged by a nation of complete fucking morons. I can't recall anything like this current level of idiocy. Its like the entire population lost about a third of their intelligence last year.

Funny how there was a hundred and fifty cops standing around with their thumbs up their butts for a fucking hour while children were dying and there was literally eyewitnesses to tell them it was one dude with a gun.

armchair experts

Yup, there were parents begging them to do the right thing. Somehow the parents knew then what needed to be done. But the apologists want to spin this into a hindsight is 20/20 argument.

Plot twist, one of the cops was a parent and one had his wife inside bleeding to death.

And they still did nothing.

Plot twist, some of the cops got their own children out and then refused (with force) to allow other non-police parents to do the same.

And who is the expert we should be listening to? The police who ran in to get thier own kids out then tackled parents outside who wanted to do the same? The administrators who immediately began lying about the doors being locked to cover thier asses? The FBI who likely allowed this to happen because they use school shooting as ammo in thier war on guns?

no one knew at the time how many shooters there were,

Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. There was no confusion about the situation. You are pulling crazy hypotheticals out of your ass to justify thier cowardice. They chased him in there. They knew exactly what was going on and the longer they waited to go in the more time they gave him to prepare, to murder children, and to barricade himself. The response should have been immediate.

That's Texas cops dude, they're kinda known for being shitty. I watched a kid bleed to death years ago. EMT wouldn't get out of the vehicle until the cops show, cops don't want to show until everything is over.

My friend's father was a Statie, his stories really took away any sort of romanticized ideas I had about the profession.

Funny how police stood by, while the thunderous sound of over a hundred shots rang out in a classroom full of children, not fifteen feet away. Talk about a fucking shit-eating maggot-brained worthless loser pigs.

...except that a border patrol agent did just that. On his own. With no shield.

So this time he got lucky. Next time he could initiate a massacre by doing that.
