    That's my new conspiracy theory, that cops empathize more Mass Murderers, and will allow them to do whatever they want before peacefully taking them into custody if they don't off themselves first.

    Like that guy that took out a mass shooter and the cops executed or how the Uvalde shooter was take out by some ICE pig.

    Either that or they shot a kid and needed to give the shooter time to kill more to cover up things up.

      I think it's:

      1. Cops have no appetite for engaging someone who can shoot back.
      2. Cops get that mass shootings have always been spun as "I guess we need more money for cops." They can also fall back on this to justify their inaction or failure to prevent a shooting in the first place.

      There's also the creep who gunned down people in the Black church in Charleston that the cops took to Burger King after

        so a lot of jails (local police station jails, the drunk tanks and the like, where people are kept before being sentenced to prison or taken to a larger jail) don’t have an on-site kitchen or a way of preparing food, and thankfully US law requires cops to not ignore people who mention being hungry. they need to pick you up something somewhere of you even allude to having not eaten recently. the downside of this is that the charleston church shooter gets a happy meal, but most of the time the point of the law is to make sure cops dont starve the usually poor and POC people they shove in the back of the car.
