    I do know of at least two massive school shootings - Parkland and Uvalde - where the cops literally cowered outside, and listened as the shooter murdered child after child.

    Every cop is trained that their primary objective is to make it home safe at the end of shift. Anything they have to do to accomplish that is acceptable, including killing people or allowing people to be killed. Cops don’t protect anyone but themselves.

          Who’s Brian Thompson? I just think of him as a Corporate Serial Killer for Profit. I don’t want to know his name.

          I know who my man Luigi is, though!

          Just because they are supposed to protect the rich, doesn’t mean they’re good at it. They don’t get suddenly competent because it’s a rich guy. The rich are being guarded by the same dumb apes that are brutalizing the rest of us.

            That was my point really. They may protect the rich and their property, but they aren’t effective, efficient, or even educated.
