    United States Texas shooting: Fifteen killed in attack on US Elementary School

    I wish I thought this might actually be serious consequences but the fact that all the police officers are going to be "placed in different roles" gives me the uneasy feeling this is just theatre. Still suspending the entire police department is something unusual...

    United States Texas shooting: Fifteen killed in attack on US Elementary School

    The Indiana Shooter, from what I saw in the news, had two rifles (one an AR-15) and a Glock but never got past firing the one rifle due to suffering acute lead poisoning ten seconds into his spree. As is ARs are... really common rifles so it's not that surprising that multiple shooters might...

    United States Texas shooting: Fifteen killed in attack on US Elementary School

    Uvalde police are sending out requests to multiple other law enforcement departments across the state for backup. No, not for shooters, they want other police to protect them from the angry townsfolk who had their children murdered. I guess we can't be surprised, they were afraid to confront a...

    United States Texas shooting: Fifteen killed in attack on US Elementary School

    I realize this is autocorrupt at work but also think punishing police for ignoring these warnings could be a good idea, albeit gassing them might be a bridge too far.

    United States Texas shooting: Fifteen killed in attack on US Elementary School

    You're thinking "Assault Rifle" which is capable of automatic fire. "Assault Weapon" vaguely means "Gun that looks scary."
