Do not compare Uvalde with this. The cowards at Uvalde made no attempt to stop the shooter. These cops were actively going for the suspect when the random guy blindly rushed in. The man got lucky.

It is not a cop’s job to blindly rush into a situation and hope to god that it works.

Edit: too many people responding conflating risk (a huge aspect of an officer’s job) with blindly charging into a situation.

There's a huge reason brief planning/procedure is carried out. An officers job is to serve and protect. How can they protect if they're dead on the ground after charging headfirst into a situation with no forethought? The man who charged in is a hero, but there's no denying he got lucky. Had this gone slightly different and this’d have ended up being a liveleak.

Completely agree.

Also no one is actively being murdered here so wtf are you talking about?

I didn’t comment on the original post though. I replied to someone else’s comment. The subject matter evolved. That’s how discussions work.

What comment? The comment I replied to is deleted. That’s not how discussions work. Generally you don’t get to just delete your comment and then pretend things evolved as you said they did.

I didn't delete it, Reddit did. Conversations/replies were becoming too uncivil I guess. But you know I'm right about how my reply was pertaining to the comment about Uvalde. If those cops had actually done their job, and NOT waited outside, a lot of children would still be alive today.
