correction for “The ~ 200 law enforcement at the superbowl didn’t help those victims”

It was ~ 800 and not ~200

‘we got lots of cops’ didn’t help out at Uvalde and all they had to do was open the door (which wasn’t actually locked). The ~ 200 law enforcement at the superbowl didn’t help those victims … and the list of cops being around but victims still happen goes on and on. Look, bad guys are not afraid of the cops any longer and those that want to do something will still do it no matter how many cops are around. At the shooting at the Texas State Fair previously, they had lots and lots of cops there too but not a one of them were able to stop the injured victims from being injured. And that’s the point, the cops are never there in that imminent moment to stop injury or death from happening, its just you and the bad guy in that moment and very few people have the skill or physical ability to actually overcome and stop an attack with just hand to hand combat.

It takes, on average, ~ 2 seconds for an attacker with a knife to fatally stab a victim AFTER the victim is aware of the incoming attack, a police officer arriving 3 seconds later is too late as the injury already happened – that’s a few precious seconds pre-stab a victim could have used to defend their self from the incoming attack if they had a firearm. ‘but we got lots of cops so that makes everyone safe’ BS – It is an excuse, a falsehood. A victim is not safe if they were already injured or the crime committed before the cops arrived and the cops didn’t save them, the only one that can save you in that imminent moment is you and if you are disarmed by some policy or bureaucratic BS no matter how many cops you have at the fair you can’t save yourself or family from serious injury or death.

Same kind of crap going on in New Orleans and glad I do not live there.

Active and retired law enforcement officers are called “civilians”. Favored status is a deprivation of rights.
