Kudos to the two cops who shot the shooter [View all]

This post is very narrowly intended to recognize the bravery of the two cops who went into a confined space where they knew they would face the designed-to-cut-humans-in-half-and-reduce-their-organs-to-a-slurry spew of a weapon wielded by someone with nothing to lose and intent on killing them.

That's what cops SHOULD do in a case like this. They didn't dither and cower like the weasels and cowards in Uvalde, waiting for who knows what. These two guys did their jobs in an exemplary manner.

Please don't make this about anything except what these two guys did on that day and in that place
