    While the Ulvade police are obviously dogshit, better police didn’t mean a better outcome for Sandy Hook, because better police isn’t the answer.

    You’re functionally suggesting there is an acceptable amount of time for a gunman to be shooting at children that’s greater than 9 minutes but less than an hour and a half.

      “less than an hour and a half.”

      Yeah, I’m going with this one. The guys with guns (police) need to cut the response time down to less than an hour and a half.

      At least that’s my suggestion.

        Sure. So either 9 minutes of shooting children is acceptable or the police response to Sandy Hook was also unacceptable, which is not something anybody suggested at the time.

        Personally, I’m going to go with “there is no duration of shooting children that is acceptable and the intervention needs to happen before they’re sold a gun”.
