    I support gun rights but I think it’s crazy to think about arming teachers. It just seems like such a disconnect to me.

      We should probably train the cops not to run away like a bunch of cowards.

      There’s been a few shootings where the school had a cop on duty, who was armed, and the cop ran out of the building when the shooting started.

      Should be a crime to abandon people, let alone children, like that

        I agree. I get being scared but you signed up to do the job.

        I was a volunteer cop for many years. I cringe when I hear about cops refusing to enter a building or running away from the gun fight.

        I get there are times when it makes sense, single gunman barricaded in a room, yeah, maybe wait for more people or SWAT but they could have saved many lives by doing something.

        Hell most of these turds shot themselves when confronted. It is rare for there to be a shootout with the cops.

        Why I believe in police reform so badly. I admit I want a unicorn, but I want a cop who is compassionate and enforces the law without prejudice. A person who can see it from the lens of the person who he is dealing with but can also kick ass when needed.

          Combining your comment and another one talking about how America’s mental health also sucks and often makes illnesses worse the thing about America is that everything is corrupted and lazly done ether it be our politicians or the medical field we have the services people need but corruption is making it so when shit happens to you you might as well be on your own

      Well if you support more people having guns, it’s inevitable people are going to look for solutions to some of those people shooting up schools
