How come cops are so incompetent nowadays? I thought they were only hiring the best, and now they can barely catch, what, four shooters now?
They stood around for Uvalde, took them a short time to catch the Highland Park guy, Luigi went on the run for days…
It’s fun when they can’t even hide their incompetence.
I remember back when Columbine happened, and while the shooters were thought to be there in the school actively killing students, the cops were moving around aimlessly, chatting and laughing in little groups, like it was a weekend cop picnic. I was outraged by the lack of concern or urgency.
Decades later, it was the same thing at Uvalde, except we had video of them inside the school, and saw how absolutely cowardly they were.
It was the same at Parkland, where the school security officer cowered outside, and then talked other cops out of entering, as they stood outside with their guns, and listened to the killer murder innocent, unarmed students, one after another.
All those years, and nothing had changed. Cops are just as cowardly and useless today as they've always been.
Someone pointed out the Uvalde police larpers did not engage for 144 minutes, which is also the run time of the smash Marvel vampire hit Morbius, and I think that completely explains their actions.
Because anyone who was competant in the FBI was fired as woke.
