You just moved the goalposts in our discussion. Artillery and air strikes were never a part of our discussion. Why can't we have armed security inside schools? Why can't we train officers and provide vests for them? Why shouldn't we train teachers and have active shooter drills in our schools? We already have fire drills. Can we discuss instead of playing the Dozens?Cops aren't ever going to call in artillery, or an air strike.
"false over-politicized"? That is ludicrous!Nice false over-politicized reach.

Calls for fire and air support are tactics 201. Just like setting up an L shaped ambush, an anti-armor ambush, movement to contact, etc.You just moved the goalposts in our discussion. Artillery and air strikes were never a part of our discussion.
Yes, I realize that but, how about vests and letting them have AR15s? Along with active shooter training. Also, as I said, active shooter drills in schools, trained armed security inside and outside the schools maybe even single point entry with man trap. Establish barriers and retaliation. This guy walked in a door that was propped open by a teacher. It should have at least been closed and locked. Sure he could have shot it open but it would have at least slow his progression.Calls for fire and air support are tactics 201.

Cops only need to know basic fire and maneuver techniques.

The Uvalde cops have ARs and body armor and a SWAT team.Yes, and how about vests and letting them have AR15s? Along with active shooter training. Also, as I said, active shooter drills in schools, trained armed security inside and outside the schools maybe even single point entry with man trap.
If the situation were a bunch of adults, I could go with your sensibilities but these were CHILDREN. No one should wear the badge if they aren't willing to sacrifice for children. These men acted shamefully and if they're the measure of most cops in America today, they'll be far more likely to "just follow orders" in case of a gun grab or other kind of unconstitutional order. IOW, they will themselves become to target of the hate for government.This happens in war.
Not so much in everyday life in 2022 when teams of lawyers eviscerate both right and what they judge as wrong responses.
Maybe we need to kill all of the lawyers??
That's not what was reported. They said they did not have the equipment and had to call SWAT which apparently took 40 minutes. If they were properly equipped and trained, they could have at least held the shooter at bay until SWAT arrived. Keep the guy distracted, etc. There were 19 officers standing outside who were told to stand down. The director of Public Safety admitted there was an error in the response. The tactical team was prevented from entering the building by local officers as well.

1. Schools can't get lunch and recess aides. Or bus drivers. Where you gonna find all this "armed security" for 130K buildings?
2. Think really hard whether you want our schools to literally look like guarded prisons. You might be keeping kids temporarily "safe" while creating more mentally ill shooters. Overreactions in the name of "safety" have consequences. See: Covid.
Yes, if it keeps kids safe I don't give a fuck what it looks like.
Bad call. Terrible call. In the last week we had one school out of 130,990 attacked--tragically and horridly. For that you will turn every school into this?
You realize the mental damage that will do would turn out more mentally ill, emotionally damaged children who will turn into killers, right?
Why are we so stupid in the 21st century? It's like we lurch from one Moral Panic to another. YES the school shooting was awful. We don't need to panic and turn schools into below

No, it isn't a bad call. You can make buildings hard to break into without making them prisons.
And ultimately I want my child to live. So, once again, I don't care what the school looks like so long as it is safe.
Yeah. A good strong one.
Cruz has ALWAYS been a scum boyAnd the scum bag governor and Sen. Cruz.
And how many accidents has junior survived?Yeah. A good strong one.
Then you just destroyed your argument. You will sacrifice your child's safety so that your child can have some kind of life. You probably do it daily--or nearly daily.
Btw, so do all good parents. You don't really raise your child just so they have the next heartbeat and breath. If you did, they would be an anxious, emotionally stunted basketcase. You raise them to LIVE. To have a life.
Start from that premise, set aside the panic and keep going.
And how many accidents has junior survived?
