It sure does, which is why the phrase is such malarkey.

Regarding Uvalde, it sure doesn't look like a successful LEO operation. The story keeps evolving and at the no moment we don't have the information we need to make an informed analysis.

I definitely agree that is was a failure. I also want to point out that "investigations" were started and completed in world record time by many political... I meant government agencies. Not sure how thorough those investigations were, but they said the police did bad so the public was content with them.

In a rational political environment this would also lay to rest the notion that all you need to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun foolishness.

PREACH IT, MY BROTHER!

The bloody hell this is "not about blame"! THIS IS ABSOL-FUKIN-UTELY ABOUT BLAME! Innocent kids are dead and the public want someone they can make pay for the pain we are feeling.

Not as far as I am concerned. I've never been much about blame. Ever.

What is very much needed here is accountability for officers who failed to do their jobs.

So if the officers bust in the classroom only to find that the shooter has placed himself behind a wall of live children - using them as a human shield - that the police should have shot and killed one or two kids to give them a clear shot at the shooter? I mean sure, one or two kids may have lost their lives but far, far, far fewer kids and teachers would have been shot and killed that day. Cannot argue with that logic. So which ones should give up their lives for the group? You want to be the one to make that call?

Liz, I do not think that the police handled that shooting event very well. There were mistakes probably made. They did not seem to have the info they needed coming to them as efficiently as possible. But they were doing the best that they could in that moment. And sometimes the moment just sucks.

I use barricade to describe any room that you cannot see into and therefore cannot know what's on the other side awaiting you.

That 18 yo killed those people that day using recently purchased weapons that made killing that many people quite easy. He is to blame.

Police as punching bag? Deserved or not, I have to agree with that.

I must agree that decisions are hard in such a chaotic situation yet this appears to be a command failure not a courage failure, so firing every last LEO not in charge would be wrong.

In a rational political environment this would also lay to rest the notion that all you need to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun foolishness.

The bloody hell this is "not about blame"! THIS IS ABSOL-FUKIN-UTELY ABOUT BLAME! Innocent kids are dead and the public want someone they can make pay for the pain we are feeling.

I don't know a single person killed personally, but I cried my eyes out when I learned of their passing. I was angry. I was hurting for their loved ones and families. I did not want to think of how their last moments alive were full of terror, unfathomable fear, confusion and physical suffering. But they most certainly were... and wanting someone to pay for their pain is human nature.

We could blame the shooter, but he was a messed up kid who we as a society failed so badly that we ended up in this situation.

We could blame the parents of the shooter, or the school, or the friends of the shooter for not seeing the signs; but then we realize that someone we know could have done the same thing and we would never have seen it coming. And even if we did see something and reported it, it would not necessarily have prevented this event from occurring. The kid has rights. We can't just strip a person of their rights forever because of what we fear they will do.

Bottom line, there are millions of things we, as a society and as individuals, can do to prevent mass shooting by teenagers, but we aren't doing them and the shootings are happening.

You and Michale are the only two LEOs that I have heard speak about this incident who take the position you two do.

Because society needs a punching bag and the police in this country are willing to be that outlet that we need. I get so frustrated when I read articles that misrepresent how police work cases and the police don't speak up to correct the journalist's claims. I have long argued that it would be better for departments to fully explain how investigations work to the public over and over than to allow the media to mislead the public. And they do it because they know the public needs someone to focus their anger at.

But I am not law enforcement, so they do not get to determine whether I say it for them or not. I have spoken up many times locally without Devon's knowledge of my intention to do so (of course by now, it really never shocks him when I do speak out). So that's why you are hearing something from me that they won't say themselves.

If that is the case, then God help all of you, especially your children. And, I mean that sincerely ... I'm not trying to be facetious here.

If I was a LEO armed with a long gun, as I understand most are nowadays, or if I had any firearm for that matter, and I was the first one on the scene in a school and I heard gunfire coming from a classroom, then I would immediately assume that there was an active shooter killing kids and teachers and I would do everything in my power to enter the room and shoot to kill the assailant. Absolutely, positively, unequivocally. And, fire me if I didn't kill myself first, if I didn't respond in that fashion.

You keep saying that, Russ. Where are you getting this information from?

I understand that when a LEO, any LEO, encounters an active shooter the protocols now detail how the LEO or LEOs are to run towards the gunfire and neutralize the shooter, post haste.

Do I have that wrong?

And what is it that they should instinctively know to do when an active shooting takes place? I'm curious as to what this answer is since it is instinctively clear to you. And mass shootings are increasing, but they are still more rare than we realize. The majority of police will work their entire careers without ever experiencing a mass school shooting event.

It's all about following protocols that should by now have been instilled in LEOs from one end of the US to the other, in small towns and big cities.

Because all school shooting have played out the same way, is that it? Columbine's shooters roamed room to room killing people. Some shooters seemed to seek out specific people that they wanted dead, leaving others alone as they roamed the halls. This guy barricaded himself in a room with a class full of human shields. Most classrooms have one point of entry. You gonna be the first one to volunteer to go through that door with an armed shooter somewhere on the other side waiting for you to be his next victim?

Yes, there are protocols that have been created for addressing these horrible events. In most departments, Officers have a shoot to kill order for anyone they encounter with a gun that is NOT law enforcement. All those "good guys with a gun" who boast that they would try to stop the shooter if they had been there should realize that they will be seen as a "bad guy with a gun". So, happy hunting!

Realize that those protocols are very "generalized" to cover most circumstances... but they never can cover everything. The police know that the public hates school shootings, which is why you saw the government respond with reports that said the police didn't respond the way that we, who have all of the facts, think that they should have -- ignoring that they didn't know what we do now.

Spin this all you want but, ALL of these LEOs and their absent commanders should be fired en masse.

NO ONE WANTED CHILDREN TO BE KILLED! Not one officer there was complacent in carrying out their duties. Were mistakes made? You betcha! But you go ahead and fire them all... then it'll be up to you to rush into the building and you can show us how it is done!

Could the police have been better, you ask. Were they doing everything they could at any moment during that SEVENTY-SEVEN MINUTES of pure hell for those kids and teachers.

You know the answers to those questions as well as I do.

I suspect that the officers involved in this incompetence will indeed suffer emotionally. They should get the help they need for that. After they are all summarily fired.

Police officers have a high rate of suicide amongst their ranks. Having the world blame you for not preventing something that you had no chance to prevent does nothing positive for your mental health.

That is true, Russ and I couldn't agree more.

But, in this case, your analysis just does not apply. They had every chance to save lives that day and they chose not to act. It really doesn't get any more basic than that.

Since humans cannot stop and start climate change at will, there is absolutely NO REASON to wreck entire economies trying to accomplish what YOU concede cannot be done...

How is it that you CANNOT seem to grasp the fact that when you have to resort to falsely claim that we are conceding statements that we have not conceded, it just proves you are lying and cannot defend your argument???

We cannot "control" climate change means that we are unable to push a button and have it change as we wish it to immediately. That is "control". We can influence it. We can do things that will effect it positively and we can do things that will effect it negatively... and sometimes both at once.

And why do you keep making the oil industries bullshit lie, "there is absolutely NO REASON to wreck entire economies" by us attempting to repair what we have damaged? It's been very evident that working towards alternative energy sources provides us a much better economy across the board than just sticking with fossil fuels. Of course the oil industry won't make as great of a share that they have become used to forcing from us, but they'll live.

Then again, it was folks like yourself that believed that the good folks at the Tobacco Institute had proven that smoking does NOT cause cancer and anyone who said otherwise was just out to destroy our economy -- so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

You and Michale are the only two LEOs that I have heard speak about this incident who take the position you two do.

Well, this member of the public just thinks that LEOs should by now know instinctively what to do in an active shooter in a school incident. It's not like it's a rare event in your country, after all. ;)

It's all about following protocols that should by now have been instilled in LEOs from one end of the US to the other, in small towns and big cities.

Spin this all you want but, ALL of these LEOs and their absent commanders should be fired en masse.

It is so easy for us to play armchair quarterback AFTER the bullets have stopped firing and can review the information at our own pace instead of having it all coming in at the same time.

It sounds as though you have not been closely following what happened here.

Have you seent the one hour and seventeed minute video of the police doing nothing but sanitizing their hands while shots rang out from the classroom and afterward, after they had been standing around for a previous thirty minutes telling themselves it was a barricade situation?

This is most decidedly NOT about monday morning quarterbacking or 20/20 hindsight. Not in the least!

This was not a barricade situation. How did he barricade himself? Was he barricading in place when he continued shooting kids and teachers while the police stood by just outside the room, listening to these shots and screams, and did nothing to confront and stop the shooter?

Obviously, there was no command staff and no leadership, whatsoever.

Police train for this very kind of active shooter incident. Hell, even I get training as a retail manager in a big store, for God's sake.

Yes, it's hard to second guess police in cases like this when they actually do their jobs. In this case NO ONE WAS DOING THEIR JOB. Even as shots continued to ring out!!!

I'm trying real hard to understand why they acted so incompetently. Even the kids in that classroom put their lives in harms way to call 9-1-1 and showed more courage in their tiny fingers than any of the LEOs on site!

Mind if I take this question as well? I think that if blame is to be laid upon the police for their response, that blame rests upon the command staff.

I think that we forget that we have no idea what it must be like when you have so much occurring all around you and you are asked to make life and death decisions based on unclear information. And the parents showing up at the school only made the police have to shift their focus to make sure no one else enter the school.

The shooter barricaded himself in a classroom full of students. Would you have the police rush into a classroom full of children firing at anything that moves? What if the shooter has lined up children all around him to be used as a human shield, what are officers to do? If the officers shoot a kid then the public will scream that they rushed in and should have be more careful! It really is a "can't win" situation for police no matter what they do. Until they determined exactly which room the shooter was in and what his demands were, running in guns a blazing does not sound like it was the right move.

Active shooting events are crazy. Determining exactly where a shooter is the biggest problem. Callers tell the info that they have to a call receiver who tells the dispatcher who radios command with the info and by the time the officer on scene hears it, the shooter could have changed locations. If everyone believes that the shooter is somewhere on the east side of the building and an officer on the west side thinks that the gunfire came from near them and wasn't just echoing off the interior walls...everyone moves to the west side.

The public seems to believe that the police are meant to be like Russian soldiers were during WWII -- charging towards their goal no matter what...as they are mowed down one after another by German machine batteries. Russian commanders knew that the Germans would run out of ammo... eventually. Then the Russians would overrun the Germans; well, they would if they still had the manpower to do so. I think if you expect police to put their own lives at such great risk, you might want to consider paying them a wage that better reflects those expectations. And let's be clear, that is EXACTLY what is being expressed by the masses. They believe the police should have given their lives trying to protect those children; regardless if that sacrifice would have changed the outcome in a positive way.

It is so easy for us to play armchair quarterback AFTER the bullets have stopped firing and can review the information at our own pace instead of having it all coming in at the same time.

I will say that it was surprising that this was a school system police department -- like when colleges have their own police departments. I understand why universities have their own departments... this was the first "school system department" that I have heard of. They do not take calls for service that are not on school grounds; so you would think "active school shooter" drills would be their specialty. I would have thought that they would have been MUCH better prepared for such an event.

We so badly want to be able to blame someone other then the shooter for causing all of this pain. The shooter was a mixed up kid by most accounts, and it's hard to put too much blame on someone like that. SO we search for others to take our anger out on.

Could the response by the police have been better? Of course it could have! It will always "could have been better" because perfection in these matters does not exist.

I think the more important question would be:

"Were the police doing everything they could, to the best of their abilities, in that moment to stop this shooter and to protect the children being held in that classroom?"

There won't be an officer that isn't going to suffer emotionally from what occurred that day. Mass shooting do that even when the police do everything right.

Police officers have a high rate of suicide amongst their ranks. Having the world blame you for not preventing something that you had no chance to prevent does nothing positive for your mental health.

So for you to claim they are idiots because they didn't do what YOU thought they should have done, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight I might add... Is simply the epitome of ignorance..

This ain't about 20/20 hindsight but it sure is the epitome of ignorance when cops don't know what the protocols are for an active shooter inside a school classroom on a school day.

Their anti-America climate change agenda is going nowhere...

Because Democrats themselves aren't willing to toe their own line...

DO you see why ANY SANE PERSON simply would ignore they Democrats hysteria??

Do Democrats *ACT* like there is a climate apocalypse imminent???

NO.. They still take their private jets and their SUVs and go all over the planet...

Are they idiots!?

ALL cops weren't doing nothing... You simply don't understand how these things work...

We don't KNOW why the cops did the things they did because our media is not reporting that...

So for you to claim they are idiots because they didn't do what YOU thought they should have done, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight I might add... Is simply the epitome of ignorance..

Take a ride along with LEOs in an inner city patrol..

At least THEN you would have some miniscule of a foundation of knowing from whence you speak... :eyeroll:

Climate change is the LEAST serious and the MOST impossible to do anything about..

But hay...

Like I said.. When Democrats STOP using all the items that, according to Democrats, cause climate change like cars and jets and electricity etc etc etc..

THEN.... AND ONLY THEN... Will Democrats have a moral or ethical leg to stand on..

Until that happens, Democrats have absolutely NO foundation to complain...

The cops were standing around doing nothing, apparently not knowing what the situation was, incredulously.

But, then, after a half hour of standing around doing nothing, not knowing what the situation was, shot ring out from the classroom. Still no action or sense of urgency for another long while.

Are they idiots!?

For me, the discussion around the dawning climate apocalypse

The "apocalypse" has been "dawning" for over 40 years..

When is it actually going to happen???

When it comes to the planet's climate, Democrats have absolutely ZERO credibility...

This is fact...

Typical Democrat cop hating bullshit..

Yea, mistakes were made..

It's EASY to point out mistakes when you have 20/20 hindsight...

What *I* want to know and what NO MEDIA OUTLET has bothered reporting is WHY the cops made the decisions they made...

The WRONG decision made for the RIGHT reasons is not a mistake.. It's simply bad luck...

But the cop hating media ignores the WHY...

They simply point to the mistakes ignoring the FACT that they are benefitting from 20/20 hindsight...

So, until we can learn WHY the cops made the decisions they made, it's all nothing but cop-hate-based Monday Morning quarterbacking...

Something Democrats and politicians excel at... :eyeroll:

There are many factors to talk about in the discussion about what and who controls the climate. There is not one single controlling factor, though there are some factors that are have more impact on the climate than others.

For me, the discussion around the dawning climate apocalypse has moved far away from the mere desire to slow the rapid rate of climate change to a more geopolitical debate about why we should be moving toward renewable energy and away from fossil fuels and how best to achieve that. Mostly, because it just makes more sense and geopolitical change is more amenable to human control than is the natural world.

I just walked in..

Haven't even grabbed a beer yet! Gimme a break...

Humans cannot control the planet's climate..

This is universally agreed upon by people who have more than 2 brain cells to rub together.. And Russ...

Are we agreed that humans CANNOT control the planet's climate..

YES or NO...

OK.. Just so we're clear on what exactly is being debated..

Russ was whining and crying that Republicans are obstructing the Democrat Party agenda..

I asked Russ why he is whining and complaining about that when Democrats ALSO obstruct the Republican AMERICA FIRST agenda...

Then YOU claimed that this is not accurate, that Democrats DON'T obstruct Republicans' AMERICA FIRST agenda...

Does that some up the point of contention???

Wrong. And, there you go, again!

You should be doing some indepth research!!!

You are the only person that has suggested such a thing.

No one else has made such a claim.

Not factually accurate. Liz herself just now claimed that humans can START climate change and can, therefore, STOP climate change...

Democrats have been pushing for changes for over 40 years to STOP climate change..

We are well aware that no one can "control" the planet's climate.

Great.. So you concede that humans cannot control the planet's climate..

Great.. The debate is over then..

Since humans cannot stop and start climate change at will, there is absolutely NO REASON to wreck entire economies trying to accomplish what YOU concede cannot be done...

I am glad you finally see things my way...

PERIOD... FULL STOP... END TRANS...

You are the only person that has suggested such a thing. No one else has made such a claim. We are well aware that no one can "control" the planet's climate.

But that does not mean that man is not capable of influencing the planet's climate -- for good or for bad.

The pandemic showed us just how much of an influence we play when vehicle traffic world wide suddenly came to a veritable stand still. Further study is required to see if the sudden drop of CO2 into the atmosphere had any part in some of the abnormal extreme weather patterns that we had during that time.

In reality, a lot of is actually coming to pass, as we write.

Democrats have been saying that for more than FORTY YEARS..

And NONE of it has come to pass...

Why do you think there is ANY credibility on the part of Democrats???

I have been waiting for someone to ask!! :D

But again, I have to wait til 1400hrs to give it it's just due...

Can ya hang around??

Seriously?

Why is it a good idea to get off of fossil fuels?

I'll give you some time to do some geopolitical research ...

But, then, you don't care much for science, do ya ...

Un-freakin'-believable!!!

First off, I never conceded that humans caused the climate to change..

Secondly, what you are describing is Climate Control..

And humans can't control the climate..

But, it's far too late for that now.

So, why bother???

If humans caused it - and, thank-you for agreeing with that assertion - then humans could have presumably un-caused it, right?

But, it's far too late for that now. There is a much better chance that humans will just colonize other planets before they do anything of any effect to mitigate against the dawning climate apocalypse here on Earth.

But, on the bright side, there will be music throughout the galaxies! And, most of it will be Canadian!

I, for one or two, will be waiting with bated breath!

Democrats and Republicans and everyone else are responsible for the dawning climate apocalypse.

I am just dumbfounded by it. And, if I were one of those parents, I would have lost it, completely lost it and would probably be dead now as well or sitting in a prison cell awaiting trial for murder of one or more LEOs.

How can those guys even get up in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror??

Tell ya what..

When Democrats give up their polluting ways, then I will concede that they may have a point..

But not until then..

This would require research I am not capable of doing until after 1400hrs...

Not always and not in Uvalde, Texas.

No, not always..

But enough to make at least Democrats reconsider their hate-gun agenda...

You may finally be right. Ahem. Because, they've already done too much to cause it. Which has always been kinda the point ... ;)

And then turning it around?? That is de-facto CONTROL..

And humans simply CAN'T do it...

It's NOT possible...

Here is the first climate apocalypse song, written circa 1975 ... before Star Wars hit the big screens, even!!!

Around 6 p.m. local time Sunday, multiple people called 911 to report an active shooter at the Greenwood Park Mall, Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison told reporters.
Investigators believe the unidentified gunman, an adult man, was shot and killed by a lawfully armed 22-year-old man who "observed the shooting in progress," Ison said.
Those injured or killed include one male and four females, including a 12-year-old girl whose parents brought her to a hospital with minor injuries after the shooting, the chief said.

THAT is what Democrat "evidence" is... We saw that PERFECTLY illustrated with that Hutch bimbo and her fake "bombshells"....

:eyeroll:

**NO**

In 2009, “cap-and-trade” legislation passed the House by a narrow margin—more than forty Democrats joined Republicans in siding with the fossil-fuel industry. The bill limped to the Senate, where John Kerry, of Massachusetts, and Barbara Boxer, of California, could not find a Republican co-sponsor. They didn’t even bring the bill up for a vote, knowing that it would lose; private whip counts at the time indicated that they would be lucky to get forty votes.

**NO**

Manchin didn’t do Biden the favor of saying no up front. Instead, he got the President to strip the sticks from the bill (the clean-energy pricing plan that would have forced utilities toward clean energy) and then he nibbled away at the carrots. He used the hope of his vote to get the more fossil-fuel-friendly Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed, and he used the fear of his rejection to keep Biden from invoking executive authority to block federal oil leases and pipelines. Although the sentiments of Senator Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, are always hard to read, it appears that there was a solid forty-nine-vote bloc for the climate actions in the bill. But forty-nine gets you precisely nothing.

**NO**

Strike Three, Democrats....

Yer outta there!!! :D

What part of *NO* do Democrats not understand???

:eyeroll:

What we do know is that the BLM protesters, and execrable ambulance chaser, Benjamin Crump, couldn’t wait for the body to get cold before they were on the move, doing what they can to turn America’s cities into hellholes, with unconstrained criminals and absent or apathetic police.

Morons...

Democrats are simply racist morons..

Nothing else explains the facts...

Practically within minutes, BLM was on the scene. It was the usual complaint. Sundberg wasn’t a bad guy, despite harassing Foss-Yarbrough for months, and then trying to kill her, her children, and the police. He was having a “mental health crisis.” He would never have been killed if he was a White man.

Do Democrats want to keep their baby killing AKA abortions as much as Democrats wanted to keep their slaves??

Are Democrats willing to start a civil war to keep abortion like Democrats were willing to start a civil war to keep their slaves.

THAT is the question that is important here...

THE DEMOCRAT REPLIES, "I'M DEMOCRAT, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A DEMOCRAT BIMBO SITTING IN FIRST CLASS, THAT BELONGS IN ECONOMY AND WON'T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT.

THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO THE DEMOCRAT AND TRIES TO EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE ONLY PAID FOR ECONOMY SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO HER SEAT.

THE DEMOCRAT REPLIES, "I'M DEMOCRAT, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."

THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST THIS DEMOCRAT WOMAN WHO WON'T LISTEN TO REASON.

THE PILOT SAYS, "YOU SAY SHE IS A DEMOCRAT? I'LL HANDLE THIS, I'M MARRIED TO A DEMOCRAT. I SPEAK DEMOCRAT."

HE GOES BACK TO THE DEMOCRAT AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR, AND SHE SAYS, "OH, I'M SORRY." AND GETS UP AND GOES BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY.

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT ANY FUSS.

The term “assault weapon” is nonsensical. Finally, the Associated Press’s highly influential Stylebook followed by the news media is recognizing that fact. As the AP now acknowledges, the term conveys “little meaning” and is “highly politicized.”

Even MC concedes that "assault rifle" is a media/political concoction that has NOTHING to do with reality or firearm nomenclature...

Anyone who uses the term "assault rifle" to denote actual firearms is simply displaying their ignorance or their anti-gun agenda....

Or likely both...

Ron DeSantis... Still kicking Disney's ass!! :D

Democrats are SOOOO scared of running against President Trump in 2024....

Democrats are petrified by a FAIR election because they know that President Trump will WIN a *fair* election..

Hence all this BS from the Cardassian 6JC....

PROVEN and DOCUMENTED BS....

Once again, Democrats are going to lose.. :D

As I said... Democrats simply LIKE to lose.. :D

In light of SCOTUS rulings, there will be no "assault rifle" ban..

Because you can't ban something SOLELY on the basis that it "looks scary"... :eyeroll:

GOOD... The Democrat agenda is BAD for Americans, so it's a GOOD thing that SOMEONE is sabotaging it..

Democrats are publicly fuming that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) can't be trusted and has doubled-crossed them yet again on Build Back Better. But privately, they're taking him at his word that he's still committed to working with them to lower prescription drug prices.

It's going to be hilarious to see Manchin fool Democrats again and again and again... :D

It's almost as if Democrats LIKE to lose... Because they are doing it so much.. :D
