Here is video from the Uvalde clusterfuck, and it’s even more enraging than reading about it. Watching these grown-men LARPers sit around in a hallway with their thumbs up their asses (at least one of them playing on his phone with Punisher lock screen!) while kids are getting murdered just down the hallway, I wonder how many unarmed parents would have rushed that room if they weren’t being held back by police.
But as disgusting as this video is, it MUST be made available and MUST be viewed by a large section of the country. Luckily, the audio of the kids screaming has been removed and there’s not really a whole lot of actual graphic content. Just a bird’s-eye view into a police department facing an actual dangerous situation.
Sure, they love to dress up and play Rambo when executing a no-knock raid in the middle of the night, but when they don’t have the element of surprise, they back off like the cowards they are.
Has anyone considered that these police officers were told to stand down by a higher authority?
What you get when you hire for"equity" instead of commitment is incompetence and cowardice. Add budget cuts and training shortcuts and uvalde is a typical outcome. If this whole thing "glows" so to speak, some of the folks that could reveal will disappear. One way or another.
