Another thing to note, the female officer who shot him has been applauded and praised for her heroism yet the man who held a bollard up to the perpetrator to stop him getting into the kids play area and committing acts of horror to children has remained silent.
I mean, there’s also a “Law and Order” (politics, not the tv show) aspect to that, in that we are a nanny state (and arguably becoming a police state) where “vigilante justice” is almost always met with outsize force by the state, and where the media almost always praises “our men and women in uniform”…
Except when they come up against Abos, of course, or turn out to be “conservatives”, or indeed when they are veterans/retire from the force…
It’s exactly the same dynamic as anywhere else in the Anglosphere.
“Cope good” except when they’re not.
I don’t think her gender is all that relevant here, tbh…
