Never waste a tragedy

[Proct1]

Read the book "When Meadow Died" about the Parkland shooting. The father chronicles how every level of Government failed these kids. I am certain it is the exact same scenario.

Me too Steve. As I've told you before my Grandfather was Tyler PD for 37 years & my Dad was Texas DPS Trooper & Tyler PD - WTF?

Hey! As a kid growing up i was a huge Texas Ranger fan from the old western movies.
For me tis especially embarrassing those coppers were from Texas!!!

[Mighty Mouse]

Me also. I don't get it. Even liberal California would have been in their in a hot second.

Not to mention the Supreme Court ruling that police don't have to put their life on the line to protect you! That was quite evident in the Uvalde school shooting.

What SCOTUS decision was this???

Curious if a civil case would have the same out come. When a cop is sworn in he swears to uphold the law and "lay down his life" in a sworn verbal agreement.

Amigo,
The first one quickly flashed a New York Times article that was immediately flashed over by an Indian Casino add. There was no way I could read it.
The second was a Federal Court, not SCOTUS, affirming there was nothing specific in the Constitution.
I believe that to be true just the same as the ten commandments are also not in the Constitution.
I took an oath of office as a police officer that I would defend the innocent as I would myself. That meant something to me!
Those coward coppers violate the PRIMARY reason society needs them!

I have to agree. I don't understand the thinking logic. I'm not certain they were 'all' cowards one and all but horrible cops for sure. I feel strongly that a 'new' Woke/PC policy was being instrumental in fat boy's thinking. I have a feeling the fat tub of crap in command is as liberal and as big a pussy as they come. He had more excuses than Carter's got pills (old southern saying) My opinion only.

Well Steve, it looks like cops ain’t the cops that you and my pappy’s were 🤬

I, for one, definitely consider him a good Samaritan.

I could give a fuck what the constitution literally says about police responsibilities.
When you become a police officer, if you are not willing to risk your life to save another, you are in the wrong fucking career!

[Tripps]

Amen.
