    You know what else puts kids in extra danger? Standing around for hours doing nothing while the shooter continues to slaughter them. Not only that, but they went in the school and shouted for kids to call out to be rescued, except they didn’t rescue them and the kids who did call out were then shot. Your take is absolutely insane and indefensible. These people are specifically trained and paid to deal with these types of situations not stand around scrolling on their phones while children are being murdered just feet away.

      Your poor reading comprehension has completely prevented you from being able to understand what I’ve said. I never said the police made the right choice. I never said cops are generally good. In fact, I’ve repeatedly explicitly said the opposite. OP brought up some interesting points about what they see as the main cause of the catastrophe, and I said they are interesting points that should be considered. As soon as you and other people who are unable to see past the emotions, ego, and the perceived hive mind saw that we were saying something other than “this was definetly 100% preventable, but all the cops in that town are cowards” you flip off your brain and go into mindless attack mode. It is OK to consider things. You don’t need to fly off the handle and instantly resort to petty name calling whenever anyone disagrees with your your initial, unthought-out hunch. The biggest takeaway from this is that, and if you can realize it, then it will absolutely help you when interacting with people in your life.

        This is a giant strawman. What names have I called you? You’re the one doing mental gymnastics to defend the lack of action from these people who are paid and trained to handle situations like this.

        You claim you “never said the police made the right call” yet you’re sitting here claiming every one of their actions were correct “because AR15 shoot far.” Absolutely absurd.

          Go back and reread, you’ve massively misunderstood. The whole discussion is about how this could be prevented if AR15s were not so easy to get, and yet people are focused on the cops.
