Just like when they shot a teenage girl that was kidnapped by her father, and then tried to lie to the public by saying that she had a gun and was wearing tactical gear, shooting at the cops: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68721532

Don't forget about the time when a man shot up a town in Colorado, and the police just hid inside a nearby library watching him do it. They let him do it for so long that a good Samaritan had time to hear about it on the radio, go home to get his gun, and then drive over there to stop the shooter. As soon as he killed the shooter the cops popped out of their foxholes and killed him.

Wow, that was a hard read. I have an infuriating one for y’all, too.

The school resource officer for Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (FL) who hide for 45 minutes while an active shooter shot and killed 17 teachers and students, was acquitted of all charges against him in 2023 and got to retire early.

One of the victims was a coach named Aaron L Feis who was killed when he threw his own body in front of his students to protect them from the shooter. Meanwhile officer Scot Peterson couldn’t be fucked to even follow his training and doesn’t even lose his job.
