    The question to ask is what would have to happen for them to give it up.

    Of course it’s a rhetorical question as they’ll be unable to provide an answer.

    they tend to be really good at the shooty shoot thing.

    less good at stopping mass violence before it happens.

    they are really bad at many things, I just dislike when people jump to conclusions because they made up their mind on something and won’t see that there might be a gray area sometimes.

    Well considering they did nothing with the advanced warning which led to 6 people dying, I'm not really sure how else to describe that

    Iirc the friend of the shooter called 911 a minute before the first reported call about the shooting

    I don’t think the Nashville police had much of a heads up on this right?

    they def had some heads up on the Nashville bomber and didn’t investigate

    Yeah, I doubt that’s on them. Not sure how it works down there but here they would probably dispatch someone to go find that person. The problem is that everybody is on the defund the police wagon and they are severely under manned so that call is not going to be the priority, in mtl right now people are getting shot left and right because of that.

    If they can't stop something as serious as a mass shooting, how would you describe them?

    you are not being realistic my man, if you want them to stop it before it happens we need to go into a completely different debate. The system is broken. The cities would need to invest a crazy amount of ressources for police to get to all these calls. Or use the system in the movie with Tom cruise
    This was a good post

    But i really don’t want to defend the police work in the USA, I just thought that in this instance the criticism is not completely fair.

    Pretty significant chunk of that 75% doesn’t give a shit about kids once they exit the womb. Certainly don’t value safe gatherings over a few percentage points less in taxes.

    True, just did a quick research and they stop it less times than a bystander which is pretty messed up. In this instance without stopping it completely (6 dead is a mass shooting so it was not stopped to your point) they still probably saved a lot of lives.

    Yeah, my bad. That wasn’t clear. I was talking about the situation up here in Canada and mostly in Mtl. I am sure nobody defunded the police in southern usa. And I am not completely sure they did in mtl but the mayor was kind of suspect when she was accused of doing it.

    I edited and forgot to re write the part where I said I had no idea how it was in the us.

    Almost no major cities reduced their police department budgets and the ones that did increased them substantially the following year.

    yeah and I looked closer and mtl also increased it in 2022 but before that it was unclear and the mayor was accused of it but she denied it. Hard to find the truth, there were less police officers in 2021 than 2020 which is not hard evidence of anything.

    Sorry for derailing the thread.

    I’d like to compliment the Nashville cops that intervened for not being cowards (like elsewhere) and simultaneously say that with gun control laws this could have been averted all together. Thanks.

    Wanted to post this in response to a chud, but felt like the 2800+ mass shooters in the last 5 years was sketchy, mostly because they didn’t give an exact number. Anyway, for what it is worth, couldn’t find a statistic that had anywhere close to that high of a number.

    Brother-in-law is a gun nut, who hates Trump and is a big Bernie fan. Prior to 2020 election I asked him if he had to choose between Bernie and an assault weapons ban or another Trump term with no change to gun legislation, he couldn’t bring himself to choose.

    I could understand owning a gun in certain situations, maybe even 2 or 3 if they were designed for different activities, but guys like my BIL who own more than 20 guns have a mental disorder.

    as much as we criticize them when they fuck up, these guys deserve a huge amount of praise for their response and bravery.

    and still 6 people dead despite seemingly perfect response from the school and officers, if only anything else could be done...

    When they do good, they are quick to release it. When they do bad, they'll fight like hell to suppress it. They'll come up with excuses like "it'll show our practices and future shooters would use it." Basically they are kids with a progress report. Good report, run home to show mom and dad. Bad report, teacher didn't give it to me.

    We're at like 186 on day 82 of this year. Mass shooting = any shooting of 4 or more victims. The math adds up.
