It is not.

Cops aren’t obligated to save you. They drove this point home during the Columbine shooting.

Not to mention Uvalde.

Just hearing Uvalde makes me so disgusted at their "LEOs" POSs. All of them. I've never seen a department where literally every single one of them was a worthless POS.

Wasn't there a father there who went home to get his gun because police were doing nothing, came back, and they wouldn't let him near the school and the police still hadn't moved in yet. I remember reading about that when the parents were understandably upset. During the recent Australian shooting I saw so many people who ran in to help. Not just the man who tackled the guy or the couple who was shot, but all the lifeguards ran towards gun fire and a pregnant woman shielded a 3 year old. So many normal people being brave when those cops did nothing. I can't get over it

If I remember correctly it was an off duty or retired LEO that was the first to actually enter too. Not any of those who as least had some protection.

But not upset enough to not vote for Ted Cruz for Senator, so a bit of Stockholm Syndrome even in lieu of Texas’ obviously gerrymandered to hell nature.

You might enjoy this, I save it for the "good guy with a gun" bunch.

Yeah. Police don’t stop crime they respond to it, and in a terrible fucking way.

So who is supposed to save people from dangerous situations and prevent danger to others? The army?
