Reply to comment by FreeApples7090 in Exclusive: Officer being investigated over Uvalde response gave order to delay classroom breach by 5xad0w

Bro, there were 400 some odd police on site at Uvalde, including multiple tactical teams. All the bodies, guns, armor and equipment in the world couldn't get 400 copes to overcome their police "training" that tells them to prioritize their own safety over that of literal children.

The whole police force needs to be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up.

Agreed. Half the issue is the ease and proliferation of guns in the USA. The laws need to change, gun ownership is too easy

If you think about it, the refusal of police to act in defense of others is the best argument for individuals arming themselves. As US courts - including the SCOTUS - have ruled time and again, the police have no legal obligation to protect person or property (not that that has ever really been possible to begin with)
