If you are not going to serve and protect children, then WTF are you doing being a cop. I could understand a little bit if it was adults in the building and they wanted to wait for backup, but we are talking about helpless children being shot one by one!

But have we considered if this is CRT or George Floyd’s fault?

the second time a police officer has refused to engage during one of these mass school shootings

you can only rely on yourself, so you better load up on weapons

I can only wonder if these cops feel shamed or ashamed. Because if it's the former, I want to curb stomp them. If it's the latter, I feel pity.

What backup? It is a young inexperienced kid with a gun. This isn't hard to problem solve how to end him.

Police waited an hour for backup in the Uvalde shooting.

It's real easy to come down on these guys, but none of us know what we would do in a situation like this one, until we are in a situation like this one. I would like to think we would all get in there and take care of business, but when you hear those bullets being fired and you know that the next one might have your name on it, that can change your thinking pretty quickly.

That cop in Buffalo did his job and paid with his life. They could have been thinking of that.

Maybe they should have chosen a different line of work?

Nailed it

I have not. Nor will I.

I hear you, but some of these cops had kids that went to that school. Plus, we're not talking about sitting back while 2 gang members shoot at each other in Englewood. We are talking about defenseless 9 and 10 year old kids that you were being paid to protect. We wouldn't excuse the actions of a Secret Service member if they hid while a president or ex-president was under attack.

Did they send in the social workers?

I know what I would do. It's not bragging, it's not bravery. My life wouldn't be worth spit if I run. I know that in my soul.
