    One of the most heroic things I've ever seen a police officer say about gun violence and guns in America in my entire life. I commend this man. Listen, we have to follow his lead and make this a primary issue. All of us.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/964506734676140032 …

        I have been so endlessly amazed by the people from this community. The students teachers parents and law enforcement have been speaking such truth to power under unthinkable circumstances. I see leaders in so many of them.

        Agree. This poor generation of kids have seen this play out over and over again. And now they are angry and passionate about seeing change. These are some of our future leaders and that gives me great hope! ❤️

        The police would be one of the groups that would benefit most. I am 40 and I’ve only been shot at twice. I bet most police officers have been shot at multiple times. Most police are decent people. They need to lead this charge.

        I got shot at once by a gang member when I was in high school and once at a bar in Texas. The bar in Texas I wasn’t a target someone just shot into the bar. I pissed off the gang member. 😜

        I think it is utterly insane that a lot of police in EU countries don’t even carry firearms. I would love to live in a place like that. Sadly though, the rents in Europe are too high. 😜

        You haven’t even seen the wave of what will happen in this country. The Republicans & their NRA cartel are done. Period. 2018 & 2020 will be their end, folks.

        I hope this is a turning point. Gun violence in this country is out of control.
