Across the country, states require more training to prepare students and teachers for mass shootings than for those expected to protect them. The differences were clear in Uvalde, where children and officers waited on opposite sides of the door.

    What’s incredibly infuriating is not only did the police force fail these kids, but the community did as well.

    They voted again for the people behind these complete failures who shoveled insane amounts of tax dollars to these cowards.

      I guess that’s the kind of policing Uvalde wants 🤷‍♂️
      Not sure why anyone would want to live in a town like that though.

    Cops not following their training?! What the? Who could have possibly foreseen such a thing?! This is completely and utterly shocking! I am absolutely flabbergasted by the news that cops don’t follow rules that they spend tons of money every year getting trained on! What a complete surprise and I’m sure no one ever in the history of the world would have ever predicted!

      You’re right and it sounds like there’s a large lack of training in the first place. The fact that the schools do far more training and that the kids were left to bleed out because the cops assumed if kids were hurt they would’ve heard kids crying or screaming (they were silent because they were taught not to make any noise during an active shooter event), makes my blood boil.
