For those that don’t get the joke, this is a reference the 2022 Uvalde school shooting incident. There was a crowd of cops that stayed outside and refused to enter the building because they were afraid of getting shot.
bummer

Also Parkland, where the school’s resource officer cowered outside, and listened as the killer murdered the students one by one.

Given everything going on with CBS, here’s the article from the Associated Press syndicated in the linked article (seemingly updated a couple hours after the CBS-syndicated version).

Oh yeah, good call. I didn’t even think about that

It’s even worse than that. They didn’t just refuse to enter the building. They actively prevented any other first responders from entering. So they not only refused to help, they actively made the situation worse.

Those officers should have been charged as accomplices to the murders. They should have been tried under the state’s felony murder law.

No it wasn’t. That was recent right?
COVID was last year right?
Skyrim is like 7 years old?

Imagine if parent’s handled active shooter situations? There are not doors strong enough to have kept some of them out. Shooters might reconsider if they actually had to face the parent’s wrath.

Imagine if we just gave all the kids guns. Really makes you think.

We do. It’s called “the Military”.

That’s really not fair.
Every day, campus resource officers bravely send kids through the criminal justice system and fuck up their entire lives for minor infractions.

He’s waiting for backup then they can all wait outside together.

I guess the dad never learned the Uvalde grip. That’ll give him the confidence he needs!

Why would a cop not enter a school?

Because he has nothing to do until there are bodies to clean up

Because cops are ultimately cowards. They kill people in cold blood, but they only have that bravado because they know most people are never going to throw their lives away trying to stop them. Cops are not skilled marksman or particularly brave. They just operate in an environment where they can use force on people, but no one will ever use force back on them. This is why they act like such assholes. They’ll escalate situations. They’ll introduce violence to scenarios where none was previously present. They’ll demonstrate extreme aggression…but only so long as they believe they’re perfectly safe. How often do you hear about a cop beating someone, and a random uninvolved passerby just pulling out a gun and blowing their head off while they’re in the act of brutalizing someone? It never happens. People aren’t willing to throw their lives away to rescue others from police violence. So cops can victimize people with impunity.
Except, once in awhile they run into someone that IS willing to throw their life away. A school shooter is clearly willing to shoot at cops. If you’re willing to kill kids, you’ll certainly be willing to kill a cop. When they actually face the chance of someone fighting back, they run like the cowards they are.
Brave people don’t become police officers. People looking to have power over others become police officers.

Just tell him there’s a dog in the school that needs to be shot.
