Gosh, what a coincidence. The #Uvalde police, now being accused of standing around for 30 to 40 minutes and letting the shooter just kill children because they wouldn't go in and confront him, now have an 18 minute gap in their police scanner archive right when the shooting was happening.
Must be the same technical malfunctions that occur when Black men trip and fall fifteen times getting out of the back of a cop car and the bodycams and dashcams stop working.
@formica We give police military weapons, body armor, tactical crap so they can use it in situations like this. If they're just going to stand around harassing frantic parents why are we arming them to the teeth? So angry and disgusted.
@PurpleEggsNHam precisely. Like the militarization of police over the last twenty years wasn't bad enough; we turn them into paramilitaries and then they WON'T USE THE EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING to confront ONE PERSON?
They stood around with their thumbs up their asses while CHILDREN DIED, they HANDCUFFED HYSTERICAL PARENTS who begged them to DO SOMETHING instead of, you know, DOING SOMETHING, until CBP went in and took him out.
Outrageous.
