Again I have watched a press conference held in Uvalde, Texas by law enforcement and

51. "The cops outside very likely had no training in what to do..."

Really? That seems like a reasonable proposition to you?

A very substantial part of that town's budget, from what I've read, is devoted to law enforcement.

School shootings have been in the headlines now for decades.

If cops aren't trained in how to respond to a school shooting, what the fuck is it they train for instead?

I've seen photos of what is described as the department's "SWAT team." SWAT="Special Weapons and Tactics." So, the local cops evidently have a SWAT team that isn't trained in how to respond to a mass shooting? If so, someone needs to seriously look at how this department spends its budget.

And yeah, by all means, let's wait a few days or weeks so the cops involved can get their stories together. Because we've all had so much experience with the police coming clean on their own malfeasance and incompetence.

I'll also be waiting for the inevitable body cam "malfunctions."

I apologize in advance for my snarky skepticism. Under the current circumstances this is about as civil as I can be.
