In college I worked for campus security as a dispatcher. Really cool job. This was around the time of the Virginia Tech shootings. At that point our department would send reps to this massive conferences where entities from the region would get educated on security measures and how to respond to these types of incidents. Every type of law enforcement goes to these things.

Anyways, we ran active shooter drills on campus one summer and while I didn’t take part, my director explained to me the protocol that all law enforcement follows; eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. Period.

Which is why everyone knew any excuse made in Uvalde was complete and utter bullshit. Even the general public knew. Such a heinous example of our kids being let down.

Even if there was one officer there with a potato gun they’re not waiting for backup.

The faster we get Millennials and Gen Z into public office, the faster we have a chance to address the root of the problem.

The article isn’t super clear but the boat was spotted in the search for a missing boater who launched from Cornwall Island in Canada. I think this is the same missing boat but not totally sure. Apparently the child had a Canadian passport which is kinda weird to have on you randomly imo unless they lived in the res which straddles the boarder so people regularly travel back and forth.

There is such a disconnect between manufacturing and the public it’s fucking insane.

Here we all are struggling to buy groceries because EVERYTHING is going up and all of these people who make shit (cars and other products) continue as if everyone has the money to by an fucking f150 xlt trim for 70 fucking k. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

In 2013 i bought a brand new F150 Platinum for 48k. Now you can hardly find an xlt for that.
