      No, they stand in front of you blocking you from saving anybody. They didn’t hide behind people that wanted to be hero’s, they actively preventing it.

    Oh fuck off. We all know cops aren’t our friends. All they do is abuse their power and do their best to find whatever they can to arrest you or fine you, with very few examples of cops who don’t do it. Piss off. Plus, the only thing they’re doing is jack shit for 70 minutes during an emergency cUz ScUrRy

    This incident alone opened up eyes of lot of bootlickers on the right. Police is not your friend, they won’t “protect” you, you are lucky if they don’t kill your sorry ass

      Their eyes were opened momentarily before going right back to licking boots the moment students started to protest.

    If they gave a half of a fuck, they’d have done something. Not in the moment, it’s done already, but in the time since that. But they don’t even aknowledge their documented and publicized all over the world passive role in this shooting. Billions of people know they suck, and they don’t even care to do anything. I don’t know how not to feel a basic shame knowing that about oneself.

    “We are here to help in any way we can” from no closer than 500 yards away.

    They deserve everything they get, but on the flip side, they do have to attempt to reconnect with the community at some point.

    The Ulvade PD really stood there, while the lunatic murderer was running murdering people in the school.

    This is like if you watched someone choke to death for over an hour, did nothing to stop it, prevented other people from helping, then showed up to the funeral to give a speech about how sad you are.
