Fire all of them

Don’t mess with Texas…except when it’s time to go save the children. Then it’s fuck them kids.

Fire all of them

People need to chill and let the facts come out.

This type of emotional reactionary stuff is very counterproductive.

Get all the facts before calling for them to be fired.

I don't need anymore facts to come out. They need to find a new profession. This is not it clearly

Half of those dead bodies (probably more) is on them and hopefully they live with that for the rest of their life

But see, that is the problem.

Nobody needs facts to come out before they make up their minds anymore.

That is why nearly 40% of our population still believes the election was stolen.

They took fire. They retreated. More kids died. The facts have come out. Not unprecedented either. Same thing happened at Parkland.

Somebody probably losing their job. The decision maker for sure. Everybody though?

People are too focused on the cops here. Better police response would be great, but the real issue is preventing these things from happening all together.

America needs a major culture change. And the finger point blame is a significant part of why our culture is so screwed up.

Stupidity and gullibility?

Some people want to politicize it.

SMH.

Yup...

Saw a stat somewhere ranking the states with the highest gun deaths per capita.

And no surprise, the states with the loosest gun laws had the most gun deaths.

Having more guns does not equal safety.

I find that hard to believe when I see state like Illinois - with some of hte strictest gun laws in the country- and Chicago is basically Fallujah.

"After two days of providing often conflicting information, investigators said that a school district police officer was not in the school when 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos arrived around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, and, contrary to their previous reports, the officer had not confronted Ramos outside the building.

Instead, Ramos entered the building ”unobstructed” through an apparently unlocked door, said Victor Escalon, regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety. Local police officers entered the building four minutes later but were driven back after exchanging fire with the gunman, he said."


So they got there 4 minutes after him attempted to deal with him and then were driven back and allowed him to slip into a classroom full of children?

I mean...come on man. That's indefensible.

it seems that some of those cops were incredibly stupid cowards.

it will be a struggle for some of them to live with themselves for the rest of their lives. How those cops could ever again look someone in the eye or put on the badge in the morning is beyond my comprehension.

they need to go sell shoes or insurance. Give up the badge and slink off in shame. Its an insult to real cops.

Look it up.

Illinois not even in the top half.

All the worst rates come from red states with looser gun control laws and more guns.

Mississippi, Louisiana, Wyoming, Missouri, Alabama, Alaska, Nee Mexico, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee are the top 10.

Bottom 10?

Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, California, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nebraska

Not a coincidence.

I will not be playing in 2022 for the same reason. No GM in the NFL wants to sign me.

That’s a dead end of logic because of the way our federalist system works. Illinois and Chicago can have the strictest gun control in the world and it won’t stop purchases in nearby states. This talking point about gun control doesn’t work pointing to Chicago is a doomed piece of group think. The majority of gun crimes committed in Chicago come from guns purchased out of state and often through straw purchases. I support the 2nd amendment but can’t stand dishonesty in debate.
