Exactly. I can barely keep My composure when you saw the bloated out body of a child in a pink jacket on the body cam, but in that situation you are specifically instructed to ignore casualties and eliminate the threat. It makes sense, it man that's got to weigh on you mentally. The responding officers did their job. Although we really shouldn't be in this situation to begin with.

In college I worked for campus security as a dispatcher. Really cool job. This was around the time of the Virginia Tech shootings. At that point our department would send reps to this massive conferences where entities from the region would get educated on security measures and how to respond to these types of incidents. Every type of law enforcement goes to these things.

Anyways, we ran active shooter drills on campus one summer and while I didn’t take part, my director explained to me the protocol that all law enforcement follows; eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. Period.

Which is why everyone knew any excuse made in Uvalde was complete and utter bullshit. Even the general public knew. Such a heinous example of our kids being let down.

Even if there was one officer there with a potato gun they’re not waiting for backup.

The faster we get Millennials and Gen Z into public office, the faster we have a chance to address the root of the problem.
