Apparently, the Chief and the entire Uvalde police department think themselves unaccountable and answer to no one. This is starting to look like there is something deeper going on within that department and specific to this incident. This needs to immediately shift to a criminal investigation of the Chief and the Uvalde police department. Any law enforcement that participated thinking this is not the case should also subject be to investigation. Any law enforcement coast to coast thinking this should not be criminally investigated should be forced to resign immediately. It has become quite obvious that the claim of most cops are good cops is incorrect. In fact, it can be argued, given all that has happened over the past few years that the overwhelming majority of cops are not fit for the job. As with our government, a full flush enema is required.
AR stands for Actually Rifle because mention one and some dickless will start bitching about what it is and is not.
Parents - good, involved parents - can defend somewhat against this if they actually spend time raising their kids and talking with them frequently. The problem is that too many parents want to be their kid's friends, or treat their kids like pets (feed them and shelter them, that's it). Helicopter parenting has disastrous consequences. Adults behave like shit, so children will follow their lead.
I am my kid's friend... but I would never allow him to use a firearm as a teenager or have access to guns. I think shitty parenting led to Sandy Hook and some other shootings as well as access to guns. I would give anyting to have the sandy hook shooter have a hovering parent instead of the negligent piece of shit that allowed a sick kid to have access to guns.
Yeah, I don't mean to imply you can't be your kid's friend. But if you have to make a parenting decision that would hurt that friendship, but be the right thing for your kid, you'd make the right call - I'm sure of it. Many parents today don't.
When parents start getting charged for crimes like in that recent case somewhere... was it Wisconsin where the parents gave the kid a gun and he used it? I know this was recent but cannot remember. Maybe parents will take on a greater responsibility. We all know our kids. If my son had emotional issues or some anger issues I would certainly make sure he never got his hands on a gun. I might have little power when he turned 18, especially in Texas but I think some liability going back to parents would wake them the fuck up. That is why I saw there should be a non partisan committee to review all gun shootings over past 20 years. I am sure there is a common thread with parents on missing or overlooking shit or allowing their kid to get access to guns who any reasonable person would never allow.
One has to be without emotion in order to find solutions. Emotionally compromised people very rarely find workable solutions. That's just the way of the world, my emotional friend.
And of course we have cops like this who are not helping the gun problems... NC state trooper sentenced to 3 years in prison for illegally dealing firearms https://www.wral.com/nc-trooper-sen...ison-for-illegally-dealing-firearms/20313237/ A North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to dealing firearms without a license. The Federal Bureau of Investigation accused Timothy Jay Norman, 47, from Browns Summit, of selling firearms to various people, including a convicted felon, while he was employed as a state trooper. He used the convicted felon as a "middle man," according to the FBI, to distribute decommissioned NCSHP service weapons. A confidential source purchased a gun from Norman, which is how he was eventually caught, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a release. Among the guns illegally distributed were semi-automatic rifles. During a search of Norman's home, federal agents seized over 50 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Norman was sentenced to three years in prison, ordered to pay a $15,000 fine and will face three years of supervised release once released from prison.
