I guess we gotta make that a state law then. The current SC seems open to allowing states to bypass federal laws for things like abortion, sonwhy not this?

It's funny to consider a gen z kid being into early 80's music would've been the equivalent of me in the 80's looking to the 1950s as nostalgia. 

I sure it was more about the hot potato runaround treatment you get when you try to get a hospital to do anything that isn't routine.

If employees are not productive it doesn’t matter where they’re working from. They’ll dick around in the office just as much as they'd do working remotely. 

Is not even up for debate about what would’ve been the best option. There is literally one option they are trained for in this situation, which is to run toward the gunfire and engage the shooter to prevent people from being killed. Even if you’re just one cop, this is the protocol, and has been since Columbine. I…

And the worst sin is making Abbott look bad.

It still boggles my mind that how much easier the job of being a cop would be if there wasn’t this much firepower available to anyone the age of 18 in Texas. It’s like what they currently do, but without the fear of knowing you’re likely outgunned in many situations.

They’ll increase the Uvalde PD’s funding to 60% of the city’s municipal budget and learn to close off a large enough area so citizens and the press won’t be able to see them doing nothing the next time this happens.

They need to zero out the interest rates. That is what puts people in a lifetime of indentured servitude. 

Not to mention getting paid a fraction of what cops get paid.

The firefighter equivalent would be claiming you were waiting for the fire to burn itself out before you went in.

Two months ago they were trained on how to handle this exact situation. If they didn’t think they could handle it in real life after that, then they should’ve handed over their badges and guns. Instead they let 21 people die due to their cowardice and negligence.

Loved him as Figgs in Copland. 

Gov. Abbott and Ted Cruz should be forced to clean up the crime scene.

Gotta love in the USA Today article linked at the top how they’re still trying to paint the cops as heros. They didn’t “breach” the classroom, someone unlocked the door for them. And, its not an issue of whether they acted quickly enough, because they didn’t act at all.

Yep. Did the cops lock him in there? That's sort of what they're implying. Get your stories straight guys!

They want the paycheck and the ego boost.

Is that you, Joe Biden?

It’s sad when our President hoped this wouldn’t happen again on his watch. If our own leaders admit there’s nothing they can do, like it's not even worth the effort to *try*, we are lost.

I remember in the early days of the Trump administration, when he just decided fuck congress and the courts, I’m just going to do what I want and I know they’re all too bloated and paid off to stop me.
