The fact only some of the parents suing Activision are also suing the cops who stood by and let their kids be murdered virtually right in front of them tells me all I need to know.
I was wondering if it were only a few families or all of them. All this does is make me feel more sympathetic to the families who aren't suing Activision, and less sympathetic to those that are. I can't imagine being one of the families who aren't litigious shitheads and getting lumped in with those who are.
While I don't disagree, you have to put it in context. I'm not trying to excuse the behavior of the cops, that said:
Following the Saint George of Fentanyl incident, it was made crystal clear to cops everywhere that following training and doing the right thing was no protection from life in prison. Derek Chauvin arrived on the scene to assist two rookie cops who were too afraid to take action. Officer Chauvin then took action as per his training. He was scrupulous about following procedure exactly, because he was well aware of the cameras in his face and the hostile crowd.
There was a SNAFU, the ambulance stopped a short distance away, unwilling to respond to an incident in a hostile crowd. After the rookies understood and cleared the crowd enough, Saint George was given medical attention. He died on route to the hospital.
Officer Chauvin was charged with the pre meditated murder of Saint George and will serve decades in prison.
At that point every single cop in the USA took notice and many of the best either quit or made plans to quit.
Given that the standards of firearms training is not very high for most cops, the officers on the scene were almost certainly terrified of taking action in front of cameras and under trained to effectively clear the school room by room and execute the gunman.
Don't get me wrong. I would have done it. I am not a cop and I don't have any skill with a firearm. I am certainly not an operator, but I would have known what should have been done. I would have done it or died trying. BUT every cop who had that attituded had been either chased out of the force or had the fear of god put into them by the utterly hostile system, which includes the DA and the senior management of the police force. The spineless dregs that were left made a call. It was safer to do nothing and suffer less consequences than to take action and to probably spend life in prison. In a meaningful way, they were right.
You're overthinking it, Uvalde is basically northern Mexico and the police act like your average Mexican cops. They operate by bribes and there is no incentive for them to risk dying without appropriate compensation.
That doesn't invalidate my post. If all the cops on the force are selfish and take bribes, then it was an equally cynical calculation that caused them to stand by while the shooter murdered the teaching staff.
To storm the building gained them nothing. To stand by and wait was safe.
The only difference is that all the good cops (if there ever were any) left long before Saint George met his end.
uhhh...what is this faggotry? How is it advocating, glorifying, or endorsing violence?
Saying I don't feel bad about them killing themselves isn't any one of those things. Stop being a retarded janny and applying retarded rules, and get back to banning the pajeet pedo.

This is opinion
It's fact actually, we have video of them sanitizing their hands while kids are being killed.
What you are seeing may be a factoid, but "tells me all I need to know" is an opinion.
I don't see anything actionable in your comment.
Do we even know if it happened?
Sandy Hook probably didn't, Christchurch definitely didn't. But after what happened with Alex Jones nobody wants to question Uvalde.

You're making excuses. Block of text = cognitive dissonance
What dissonance? Here, I will use smaller words for you.
If you punish cops for performing their duty to the community, cops won't perform their duty.
If you reward (or fail to punish) cops for doing nothing, cops will do nothing.
The cops that have community service as a major motivation will leave the force.
Please point out where I'm wrong. I'd love to correct my world-view.
While it often correlates, acting like it is that cut and dry is thinking like a simpleton.

It's pretty close and it's a pretty sketchy subject. It's not a fed post, but could look like one.
