What I suggested is giving police in the U.S. an exemption for mass shootings at schools and other venues, giving them discretion to take whatever action is necessary. No more walking the shooter out for a photo op with the media. You could kill the shooter and not worry about an investigation questioning your decision.
I remember when all those lifeguard jobs whet to white guys. They wouldn't even consider blacks.
I was wondering when they'd start blaming cannabis. I'm pretty sure they'll be mentioning dabs soon.
They need a vulnerable scapegoat. They can blame video games and music all day but can't do anything about them. Cannabis, OTOH, is vulnerable to having draconian laws being passed against it.
This is basically the policy now. The training is to immediately stop the shooter lol. I honestly don't think this is the problem.
Low hanging fruit. And it plays to their (republicans) audience. They'd blame opioids too if their base wasn't the main users. Blame everything but guns. Triggers don't pull themselves.
It's crazy that inbred is still in Congress. TX has some of the WOAT politicians.
Both sides!!!!
Mass Shootings Can Be Contagious, Research Shows
It may not be a coincidence that several mass shootings took place in one week. Research shows perpetrators are often inspired by media coverage of other shootings.

Following a request from Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to create a special committee to focus on school safety, mental health, social media, police training and firearm safety in the wake of a mass shooting in Uvalde that killed 19 children and two teachers, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick released his list of committee members Wednesday afternoon.
The 11-member Senate Special Committee to Protect All Texans will be chaired by Sen. Robert Nichols (R-Jacksonville) and includes two North Texans, Sen. Royce West (D-Dallas) and Sen. Brian Birdwell (R-Granbury) but also excludes state senators from areas where there have been recent mass shootings -- Sen. César J. Blanco (D-El Paso), Sen. Roland Gutierrez (D-San Antonio) and Sen. Larry Taylor (R-Galveston).
In his statement Wednesday, Patrick defended his appointments, saying the committee members represent a cross-section of school districts and communities of all sizes across the state.
Sen. Robert Nichols (R-Jacksonville), Chair
Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe), Co-Vice Chair
Sen. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham), Co-Vice Chair
Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston)
Sen. Brian Birdwell (R-Granbury)
Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels)
Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa (D-McAllen)
Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Tyler)
Sen. Charles Perry (R-Lubbock)
Sen. Royce West (D-Dallas)
Sen. Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo)
“Chairman Nichols is an engineer by profession, Sen. Creighton is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education and Higher Education and Sen. Kolkhorst is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services. These three leaders have the experience and knowledge to lead this important committee. The committee members also represent a cross section of school districts and communities of all sizes across the state.
“Gov. Abbott has asked us to study 5 important areas:
School Safety
Mental Health
Social Media
Police Training
Firearm Safety
“I have asked Chair Nichols to hold his hearing on June 23 or a date shortly thereafter. I want to give the families and the community of Uvalde time to complete all funeral services before beginning hearings so those who wish to testify may take part. I have asked Chair Nichols to coordinate with the House of Representatives Chair to hold their hearings on the same date, if possible, to accommodate both invited and public witnesses.
“Before creation of this committee, last week, I sent a letter to the Commissioner of the Texas Education Agency, Mike Morath, to request an extension through the end of the next legislative session for applying for school safety grants, which were set to expire on May 31. There is still nearly $14 million in the fund that schools could still request. The letter can be found here.
“We will also be working with Attorney General Paxton’s office to ensure payments from the Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund, once approved, are expedited.
“All of us working together is the answer. Now is not the time for politics. It is all about doing all we can so that we never see another tragedy like this happen again in Texas.”

Silly me. For some reason, I thought that they were going to have a separate sub-committee for each topic. One group looking at all of that stuff... that's more bullshit than I originally imagined.
"Firearm safety". The fuck out of here...
