Good.
Uvalde ended the ridiculous "good guy with a gun" argument.
Uhhh, I dunno about that. I don’t see conservatives letting go of that bs argument anytime soon
Of course they do. They also insist the earth is 4000 years old. They are both equally factual.
I was talking about in terms of legit debate.
I’m waiting for the day a legitimate debate will occur. Conservatives talk is rhetorical fallacies
Right. It goes to the point about the debate last night: "how do you debate just and endless stream of lies?"
Uvalde should also be illuminating from another point of view: maybe we shouldn't have all these little pissant departments across hundreds of municipalities. Bring on the municipal consolidation, especially for some of these services. There could be some potential to be able to enforce better professionalism (lol - as if that was a possibility with police - looking at you MA State Troopers and your various scandals) and training, reduce some of the old boys clubs, and also save money for taxpayers overall.Good.

Texas is so in love with law and order, you have Sheriffs, Constables, city police departments, school police departments, the Rangers, State Troopers, and I'm sure I'm missing a few.Uvalde should also be illuminating from another point of view: maybe we shouldn't have all these little pissant departments across hundreds of municipalities.

KY FoP members elbow each other out of the way so they can raise their hands to wave to you!Texas is so in love with law and order, you have Sheriffs, Constables, city police departments, school police departments, the Rangers, State Troopers, and I'm sure I'm missing a few.
The state of freedom sure does love authority figures.

For many local departments, "when necessary" comes up plenty of times. It just means (to them) arresting minorities and other people they don't like."Why are we arming the local sheriff deputies like they're the revolutionary militia in some war-torn central african country if they're not going to use it when necessary?"

Nope, nor other victims of mass shootings in Texas.Didn’t help students in Uvalde
Video from Sanchez’s body camera shows the officer exiting his vehicle with what appears to be a rifle. He shouts "drop the gun" and then fires three rounds followed by two others.
Don’t need to run after a perp when you can just shoot them in the back.
From the comments:
I think that's the crux of the problem. Why have lazy people on the job if fitness is super critical to carrying out their duties? And I might catch some flak for saying this (because I don't know what a filter is because it doesn't exist in my mind), but I've noticed that fat people are more concerned about staying alive than normal people. They are more likely to visit doctors for even trivial issues. It's like they think eating is life and oh so wonderful and it can't lead to an early death because it's oh so natural to eat so they ignore that as a potential source of health issues and focus on everything else (I don't know why I keep getting fat! I only eat three times a day! <<< this from a real guy who does not exercise and has a sedentary job and who is so immobile that he will wait until the last minute to get up and go to the washroom).

Good.

I'm not sure how it would end that argument when there was not in fact a good guy with a gun.
Officer Adrian Gonzalez was present, in the building, heard gunshots, and did nothing. Then another 100+ officers arrived and also did nothing for over an hour. That's plenty of "good guys with guns".
Not a single good guy was there with a gun. Unless you feel that Officer Gonzalez is a good guy.
And I can't hold it back anymore: every time I see your name I think it is saying something different than it is.
