Are you trying to trick people into siding w/the pathetic actions by the Uvelde PD?

LEO and Military pledge to protect others in this manner. I am neither so in most cases no. If I am in a situation where the opportunity to take action is there and many innocents could be saved I might take action but I cannot say for sure what I would do as every situation is different and has many intangible parts.
We need to stop trying to simplify very complex issues into right and wrong ones. Life is complex and so are the decisions you have to make in it.

Wtf kind of experiment is this? I'm no Peta guy but torturing and killing animals just because. I am pretty sure that's illegal

You are someone who doesn’t understand duty. It’s fine, most people don’t.
There are sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. You are a sheep - 99% of the population are.
A sheepdog doesn’t protect the sheep from the wolves because he doesn’t love his family more. He does it because of his duty.

The hard truth is it’s situational, and you have a duty to yourself and your family to not put yourself in unnecessary danger. Adding to the death toll helps nobody and makes an already bad situation worse.

That is the dilemma that every responding officer can face. If you can't treat a stranger's life with the same passion as your own family's life, then you should not be in that line of work.

An armed police officer whose job it is to protect the innocent should be running towards the sound of gunfire.
He's already shooting kids, you aren't saving anyone by waiting around outside with your thumb up your arse. Someone take control, stack up, weapons raised and storm the fricking building and overwhelm him. Yea, he may get a few rounds off but he is getting put down. fricking cowards.IT WAS ONE frickING GUY.

You would think by now that most folks on here would have sense enough to wait for a full investigation before casting their judgements around. I sincerely doubt that you had a situation with all the responding LEO being cowards and running over each other to get away. My guess is this was an ill prepared Department that was making poor tactical and communicative decisions. No one here was on site all we have to go on is what the press is feeding to the public and they don't seem to have a whole lot. There is almost a limitless amount of scenarios that can playout in these situations. If you let Uncle Jed from up the block, barge in a scene like this with his AR-15, 21 bodies is nothing compared to the carnage a Psychopath with an automatic weapon and a stockpile of ammo can unfurl in a matter of a couple of minutes.

There's only one answer to that question.
"Hey kid, swim parallel to the shore!"

Men are coded to frick as many women as possible, too. But part of being human is the ability to keep yourself in check and control yourself.

Uncle jed with an ar15 should never have had time to even consider storming the building.

Yep and it is pathetic.

I’m sure a kid would be proud to introduce his father to the class on career day saying he’s the guy that stood outside of a classroom crying like pussy as 19 of his kid’s classmates were shot and killed when he outnumbered the murderer 19+ to 1. Honestly it’s better for the parent to die a hero than for a kid to have to wrestle with that cowardly legacy of a parent.
