    I have no problem with improving Law Enforcement training and think the Uvalde showed that more training is necessary. That doesn't mean other issues shouldn't be addressed too.

    With things as horrific as mass shootings we should be looking at greater regulation of firearms and availability of firearms. Given that even if we banned all sales of firearms there are so many firearms out there already we wil need to address many other things.

    Better to ban them now before there are a billion of them. Can they teach those cops courage or bravery?

    1 scrawny 18 y/o kid with his AR-15 had 7 cops, and eventually 19+ cops, scared to engage

    cops showed up with their little water pistols and got blasted right out the building

    u harden these schools, but there’s plenty of other places that these shooters can go and kill people

    Kids don’t go to McDonald’s, the movie theater, the grocery store?

    Of course not, they are human just like the rest of us, they are outgunned.....but the GOP will sit on its ass and do nothing because they are paid for by lobbyists of the NRA.

    Most police are glorified security guards and can't get a real job beyond the socialist government job they have......

    I mean police forces will not hire people that are too smart........we are literally policed by the lowest IQ members of our communities...yippeee!

    Our society needs to get back to treating intelligence with respect and ignorance and stupidity with an opportunity to learn - we can't embrace dumb.....or we fall.

    A man allegedly trying to enter an Alabama elementary school is shot and killed by police

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/09/us/alabama-elementary-school-man-killed/index.html

    excerpt:

    (CNN) A man was shot and killed by a police officer outside of an Alabama elementary school Thursday afternoon after an altercation with a school resource officer, Etowah County Sheriff Jonathan Horton said during a news conference.

    At least 34 students were inside Walnut Park Elementary School when the man tried to get inside, Gadsden City School Superintendent Tony Reddick tells CNN.

    The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is investigating the incident.

    In a news release, ALEA said that the individual was seen trying to make forcible entry into a marked Rainbow City patrol vehicle near the school. A resource officer made contact with the individual and attempted to stop him, the release said.

    An altercation ensued in which the individual attempted to take the officer's firearm. The officer was able to call for backup and a responding officer shot the individual who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the release.

    No children at the school were hurt in the incident, Horton said.

    Though the school year is over, during the summer, the school has a literacy camp for elementary students, Reddick said.

    The district has always had a practice of locking all exterior and interior doors, Reddick said. Something he touted for helping keep the potential intruder out.

    "He tried to open at least two doors leading into the school," Reddick said.

    "This is Gadsden. A small-knit community. You don't think that something like this is going to happen at your school," he added.

    Imagine if he was just trying to do a surprise inspection to see how secure the school was.
