    MNSBC anchor on the shooting.

    "It could have been worse if not for a rapid police response..."

    I guess we've got to give them even more money. What else can we do?

      Weird how they never praise firefighters for putting out a fire and saving lives but cops need trophies for every time they do their jobs for once

        Or EMS for saving someone's life. Fun fact, your average paramedic only makes about $16 an hour for being the front line defense for people like not dying.

          That shit sucks so bad. You would think that a capitalist society would pay some people what their job is actually worth by accident, but it seems like it is hard wired to pay the most important people peanuts and give millions to the most worthless.

          After high school I went through half the training to be an EMT, then saw the conditions and pay and went "fuck that"

        And it's truly amazing how fast we'll see their body cam footage. No legal issues. No technical issues. No issues of any kind. Funny how that works.

      Literally every mass shooting the police get their boots sucked by the media setting the stage for even more funding, because WE NEED THEM :maybe-later-honey:

      Look at this crisis and tell me how we can justify increasing the police budget. Fucking ghouls
