All I'm saying is that if your job, one in which I assume you were sworn to uphold, is to protect and serve the public, and then you're given hundreds of thousands in weaponry, armor and training, and you presumably have the unconditional support of at least many members of the community you were hired to protect and serve, and then you piddle around the outside of a school with your thumbs up your asses while someone with a gun gets into a school ... and you assume this is a guy who simply has just barricaded himself in there even though you goddamn well know this is like every other school shooting that has happened in America ... and you even go so far as to handcuff parents of students who are trying to get their kids out of that school instead of going after the motherfucking shooter ...

... well, you know what they say about "defunding the police," even "abolishing the police?"  You should defund if not abolish this one, shit.  The names of every single member of the Uvalde Police Department should be named on every news broadcast in the nation.  Start with Pedro Arredondo, the Chief of Police who made the stupid and, ultimately, fatal mistake of telling everybody under his command to wait outside the school for 78 goddamn minutes.  But honestly, you had kids in there.  Kids.  Nineteen of them were slaughtered.  Police officers should have defied Arredondo's order and went in there themselves.  Since they didn't, they shouldn't just not be police officers anymore -- they should be ... I won't say.

And if there comes a ballot measure defunding and/or abolishing the police, anyone in the city of Uvalde, Tex., who doesn't vote for that measure doesn't give a shit about kids.  I'm fucking serious.  This is a disgrace from which people need to pay.  Utterly.

Oh, yeah -- get rid of the fucking guns, too.
