msn.com ^ | May 29, 2022 | Andrew Mitovica

Posted on 05/29/2022 8:25:39 AM PDT by yldstrk

The excuses offered by police in Uvalde to excuse their cowardice only confirm their cowardice.

Nineteen armed police stood in an elementary school hallway and did nothing for more than an hour while an armed teenager murdered 19 children pleading for help and the two teachers who perished trying to protect them.

Well the iconic image of fearless Texans is just that. A tired old worn out marketing ploy. We are just like everyone else. Some are fearless, some cowards, some are both depending on circumstance.

The leftist deconstruction of American core values has been just as effective here as anywhere else. But that being said, those people put on a badge, strapped on a gun and swore an oath to their community, their department and themselves. They gladly took the benefits of their station, but when the time came to pay up they were derelict.

Yes, they are cowards. And it stings me to be from the same state. Even worse, I can pray that I'd have the stones to run down that that sick little bastard and end him, but until I am confronted with such evil I won't truly know.

I hate to have break this to Louie L'Amour's ghost, but there ain't no more Sacketts here.

Same here…..I’m not quite understanding what happened there or why the police didn’t go in sooner if they did in fact arrive we’ll before all 19 kids were killed. Someone please help explain cause I’m sick to my stomach trying to comprehend this. Thanks in advance 🙏

Lighten up Tex, it was aimed at the Uvalde police not Texans in general.

Was a Texas Ranger present? I wonder if there had been one there. I’m hoping not because they are held to higher standards in training and actions.

Agreed, my remark was aimed at the Uvalde police, not Texans per se.

Friends and I of a satiric bent have making up parodies since high school, such as Men of Harlech, while watching the movie Zulu:

Men of Harlem,
stop your stealing,
we can see your white teeth gleaming... etc.

or of Gilbert & Sullivan:

I am the very model
of a modern urban criminal,
with convictions civil,
juvenile and criminal...

And it would have been longer except the border patrol tactical unit ignored the school’s police chief. The “police chief” is a DemonRat politician and Beta O’Rourke donor, so he may have wanted as many dead kids as possible.

There should be a monument saying The Cowards of Uvalde.

They should all be prosecuted. They cannot say they were following orders because it did not work for the Nazis. They should all go to prison.

Peter principle rules in almost all organizations. LE isn’t immune to it. Every state in the union is infected with it. In a lot of instances it’s a combination of affirmative action and peter principle combined.

I actually thought that maybe the guy in charge was A Democrat and trying to maximize casualties for maximum anti gun propaganda, but then I though not even Democrats were that evil. I guess I was wrong.

I believe the answer to this question is: However long it takes me to get my rifle and my go-bag out of my trunk.


Made me tear up.

Do I recall one or two stories about people drowning and the local Leo or fire teams would not go in because they hadn’t passed that certification? In both cases bystanders jumped in and rescue the victim.

having to live with knowledge of the consequences of your inaction, neglience and failure to do your duty

Yep, having to live with your well-known notoriety as a craven coward, all the while there you are trying to strut around as though you were some kind of dashing hero.

The constant guffawing behind your back or loud spitting of people ostensibly trying to get the bad taste out of their mouth as you walk by, would drive most people to wish they were dead!

It's hard to think of something more dishonorable than what these guys failed to do that day.

How many times have I heard on FR someone say, “that would never happen in Texas”.

*********

Most all things happen in Texas as in all other states.
Just bigger in many cases. But this one will be a big
smear on the Lone Star..... Hopefully the nation can
learn from it.

Yeah, and I’m getting a sh#t hat fed up with it!
And if one of these pu##ies even gets a sliver on duty we will get hours and hours of parades and bagpipes on the tube with all the glorious details of their service to the community.
.
I have the solution to school shootings. Well, most of them.
Don’t even try to use armed teachers. They’re all too whipped and wouldn’t know what to do.
Don’t use local police. For many of the same reasons.
Wanna know who I would use?
.
Veterans.
