    Onlookers urged police to charge into the Texas grade school where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, a witness says. The rampage lasted upwards of 40 minutes, ending when the 18-year-old shooter was killed by a Border Patrol team. http://apne.ws/5giewGa

        I keep telling y'all. The police have no duty to protect anyone. Ever. IT ISN'T THEIR JOB. If the police actually protect someone from danger, it's a favor (or an accident). https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/us/parkland-shooting-lawsuit-ruling-police.html …

        It's also against standard police practice, which is that "delay in taking law enforcement action could result in injury or death [and] immediate action by officers at the scene is necessary"https://www.theiacp.org/resources/policy-center-resource/active-shooter …

        Why not be judgmental? They are trained and super funded to allegedly handle precisely these situations. This isn't 1995. Mass shootings are very much the norm and have been as you know. Plus what kind of member of law enforcement sacrifies 10 year-olds to save themselves?

        I feel like police, at a minimum, should be capable of distinguishing an empty plate carrier with a full one. If they were at such a visual distance it wasn't clear, how did they "engage" him?

        I once thought I heard gunshots outside where my niece was playing. I rushed outside without a weapon and without hesitation. These armed cowards did nothing. They exist to enforce white supremacy, protect capital, and brutally suppress any protest (except pro-fascist ones).
