    Every subsequent detail that has come out about the shooting should leave no doubt that the police are the single most cowardly entity on the planet. Apparently a "tactical" team had been present at the location for a while, but refused to let in by the cops. Meanwhile higher up cops are going on record and straight up saying that what the cops say at any given time can be changed next day after the cop has gained "clarity" and deliberated on what happened.

    Those were kids man. Fuck sakes. KIDS. Kids that smeared blood on themselves to survive, wondering why those fucking pieces of shits couldn't come in and save them and their friends. And they'll live with that for the rest of their lives, the same way all those Iraqi, Afghan, Yemeni, etc etc etc etc etc children will live out their lives. It's funny as fuck hearing people wonder why the US hates its own children. Well when you destroy livelihoods overseas, it's very likely that you're also going to eat your own.

    Was wondering how these freaks would find a way to spin this debacle into a "Fund The Police" drive

    Weren't there like a dozen or so armed and armoured police officers vs one 18 yr old with an AR and a pistol? I mean how much more do you wanna outgun them? Predator drone? Tank? Nuke?

    The people who were actually outgunned were the parents, and in the videos they were more willing to risk their safety to rescue the children than the heavily armed cops.

      Neera Tanden needs some kind of remote that drops a very large densely populated space colony on a target

    yeah it's like the system was built on a bed of contradictions that makes it function at cross-purposes. :marx:
