Hi everyone, the topic for todays episode is the absolutely pathetic police response to the Uvalde school shooting that left 21 dead.
By now many of us have seen the hallway video where police can be seen doing next to nothing to stop the shooting from happening, until after a full 77 minutes the cops go into the classroom and killer the shooter.
Why did this take so long? Why did highly trained and armed LEOs wait so long and possibly allow more children to be slaughtered?
I know the reasons and they are not pleasant: LEOs today care more about going home to their families than actually serving and protecting. How do I know this you ask? Because I know dozens of LEOs who all basically tell me the same thing: All lives matter and they want to go home to their families just like everyone else. That and being a cop today is harder and less appreciated than ever before.
So basically, LEOs want it both ways: They demand power and respect, with little or no accountability, yet also want to be able to do next to nothing and make the claim they fear for their lives and don't feel loved and appreciated anymore.
Boo, hoo is what I say. Stop snowflaking and do your damn job already!! You knew what the job entailed when you signed up and now you want to back out, claiming you're frightened and don't feel loved?? Unbelievable!!
Cowardice is the only word to use to describe what happened in Uvalde at Ross Elementary. If and until LEOs accept their JOBS, and not demand all manner of love and respect up front, they will continue to fail at their jobs, with public opinion and their own morale dropping even further.
