What are cameras going to do to stop an active shooter? At best it can help guide the police, but that's a tall order in the moments that matter.

The police who are waiting outside for an hour?

  Correction: the police who get their own kids out and then wait outside for an hour.

    Maybe the cameras can get some footage of the cops arresting parents afterwards!

      Three above posters should be ashamed. This isn't reddit, nobody thinks you all are clever. If "dancing on the graves of dead children" actually meant something, posting snarky one-liners from the safety of your privileged lives to jerk each other off for invisible points that nobody else can even see, would probably count.

        The police who should have responded in a timely fashion should be ashamed We need legislation to fix these issues but all we get are these business contracts that do nothing but line the pockets of politicians and their friends

        The police aren't going to read your comments, those actually victimized, far more likely. There are far more family and friends of victims in Uvalde, much more likely to find your heinous comment, trying to make light of a tragedy, absolutely needlessly. You are not commenting on a CFR document, furthering public discourse. You can dress it up all you want, these comments are disgusting, do nothing to add value to any sane discourse in any way, and are a direct attempt to make a small dopamine hit for yourself, all from a tragedy that I am sure you believe you personally would had superman'd into. no good faith thoughts, just shit keyboard drivel. disgusting, you and all the thoughtless NPC's that further endow snarky dim-witted remarks from a national tragedy should be ashamed -- had you had an ounce of agency, an iota of empathy, a semblance of self-reflection... "should be ashamed"...yea, let us hear what you know of shame

        Your outrage should be directed at the uvalde cops or the shooter, buddy.

        Those actually victimized are suing the officers themselves: https://www.kens5.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-shooting/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-robb-elementary-federal-lawsuit/273-6d024b6c-406e-4490-8b17-37c8a7a3428d https://www.kens5.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-sc...

        > The police aren't going to read your comments, those actually victimized, far more likely. There are far more cops than there are even acquaintances of mass shooting victims (let alone family/friends, let alone the victims themselves). Statistically speaking, your statement is in all likelihood the opposite of correct. > all from a tragedy that I am sure you believe you personally would had superman'd into. Unlike a cop, I don't put on a badge and uniform and go around insisting that I should be given special legal privileges and immunities on the basis of protecting innocent lives from crime. Your anger is misplaced. Instead of directing it at those who allow tragedies like that of Robb Elementary School to happen under their noses, you instead choose to shoot the messenger. Criticisms of the Thin Blue Line hitting a bit close to home there, bud?

        > Three above posters should be ashamed. For what? Calling out the abject failure of the State's goons in fulfilling their "Protect And Serve" marketing slogan? Voicing a lack of trust in said goons of the State to actually do the right thing? If "dancing on the graves of dead children" actually meant something, using fear of mass shootings to sell boondoggles on the basis of "think of the children" would absolutely count.

        I'm sure the cops that sat idly by are also the same ones with a Powerpoint trying to sell AI/ML snake oil to school districts. you made a shitty remark with no purpose other to gloat in the tragedy. some heal through humor, but making the same "cops bad upvote please" remarks is not that, that is a sick quip by an attention-seeking individual.

Coward cops and tools enabling cops to be cowards sure go hand in hand, yes. > you made a shitty remark with no purpose other to gloat in the tragedy. Correction: I made a shitty remark with no purpose other than to call out LEOs for the cowards they are. That you're so offended by me ribbing the poor widdle police officers for their utter incompetence speaks volumes.

        Yeah! We lick boots around here and we've grown to love it! Don't question the dead children, just keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
        feet 4y ago
        Remember, the cops announced they definitely didn't shoot any children. Totally unprompted. Yea, nothing suspicious here Those cops definitely shot kids

        I'm sorry, but we pay a premium for the "security" provided by our police forces, and I expect better from them. No one is gloating, if you read it that way, I don't believe it was intended to be. The fact our courts have decided that the police are unaccountable for both active harm they cause, and harm through negligence is a huge problem for a lot of the citizenry.

The systems are designed to enrich some tech companies who have relationships with schools, and let school administrators hire more staff and speak to parents about how they are doing something.
