Should’ve sent competent fucking cops. 

It's not even competency, it's a duty. It's not even like it's a crack den where they are all shooting each other it's classrooms of children being shot. Kids ffs. You go in, it's not just your job or even your duty it's being a human being. I'd risk my life for any of them kids and I'm on a different fucking continent and don't even know them.

We have more guns in America per capita than any place in the world. Double, in fact. The Falklands are at #2, with Yemen a close #3. We're at least triple everyone else. I think that supports the "it

That's one of the reasons I posted that story about the bank robbery here in BC.

 

The cops, wearing only bullet-proof vests and armed with pistols, were running towards the sound of semi-automatic weapons fire. 

 

Maybe it's that the US has so many of these incidents, they've worked up protocols on how to deal with them, and naturally, they tend to lean towards not getting themselves killed?

A Houston police sergeant who thwarted a possible mass shooting at the Galleria mall is being called a hero, after details of his actions finally came to light.

The incident happened on Feb. 5, but Sgt. Kendrick Simpo is just now speaking out about it for the first time.

"I definitely know what I signed up for 20 years ago when I got into this profession," said the soft-spoken sergeant, who currently works in the Houston Police Victim Services Division.

On the day of the incident, while working his extra job at the Galleria mall, a call came over the radio saying that a man was near the Macy's store with a rifle.

Simpo, along with a security guard at the mall, quickly walked to that direction. However, because there was a children's dance competition at the Westin hotel ballroom attached to the mall, Simpo kept his weapon in his holster.

"I did know there was a dance competition with little kids going on at the Westin Ballroom, so I didn't pull my weapon out because I didn't want to be running towards the Macy's area, which is past the ballroom area, with the gun out and startle anyone," Simpo said.

 

Simpo was just wearing a soft vest and had a handgun, but went anyway. "I knew if a person did have a rifle and they were inside the mall, I was pretty much outnumbered, because all I had was a handgun at the time. My handgun and his rifle, I was already at a disadvantage," he said.

Within minutes, Simpo spotted the suspect, later identified as Guido Herrera, near the Westin Ballroom entrance, within a few feet of hundreds of children. Surveillance video shows Herrera wearing a shirt with the Punisher logo, carrying a rifle in one hand, a Bible in another, and wearing a leather mask with spikes.

"I quickly bum rushed, tackled him. And my first reaction was to make sure that I get a hold of the rifle. No matter what I grabbed, make sure I grabbed that rifle," Simpo said. "I had in my mind (that) I was going to get shot. I just had to bear the pain, I knew it was going to hurt, and I was like, 'Whatever I do, I cannot let go of this rifle.'"

Simpo was able to redirect the weapon upwards, toward the ceiling, as he pinned Herrera against the wall. Help quickly arrived, and Herrera was arrested without a single shot being fired.

Once under arrest, police took inventory of what he carried. Besides the rifle and Bible, they also found 120 rounds of ammunition and a handgun. However, since Herrera didn't actually shoot anyone, he did not commit a felony offense under Texas law.

Herrera was charged with a misdemeanor for the Galleria incident. Then, on March 18, he showed up at the Houston FBI headquarters asking to meet with the director of the agency. In that incident, he had a gun in the car. However, because no shots were fired and he didn't point the weapon at anyone, he was again just charged with a misdemeanor.

It's like preferential treatment at the shooting gallery at the carnival. Fuckin crazy country.


Worse, it’s a course on how to successfully shoot someone.

 

Next time don’t be dressed so obviously, don’t tell people who you plan to shoot.

 

This fool will blow someone away, because he learned from the police how not to get his stupid arse caught.

A bloke started shooting up his apartment building this weekend, he was eventually shot by police snipers.  Locals started a vigil and protest which kind of upset a woman who’s kids had been in the apartment next door and nearly killed.  She wanted them to fuck off, can’t blame her to be honest.
