Destino Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Quote The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Independent School District police force are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's review of the law enforcement response, multiple law enforcement sources tell ABC News. The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent School District did not immediately respond to requests for comment from ABC News. https://abcnews.go.com/US/uvalde-police-school-district-longer-cooperating-texas-probe/story?id=85093405 Why won’t police talk to police? Don’t they always tell us that if you have nothing to hide there’s nothing to worry about? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks, he has to do this but it's a nice jesture to the families who will be burying their loved ones. Oh I didn’t mean him or what he did. Just the sight of caskets with designs that I know my youngest nephew would think are cool makes me sick to my stomach a bit when you consider why it’s a thing. I didn’t even read into why he’s doing it….but I know why he has the opportunity and it really really sucks that he does. I have no issue with him specifically 34 minutes ago, Destino said: https://abcnews.go.com/US/uvalde-police-school-district-longer-cooperating-texas-probe/story?id=85093405 Why won’t police talk to police?

Its cause they know police are liars and will do anything to spin a situation in their own favor to the point where they literally get away with murder if they want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Sith speaks in absolutes. --- Me, I was simply commenting on the difference between what something says, and people's attempts to give opinions on what they want it to say. And said people trying to wrap themselves in "everybody else is trying to impose their opinion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it says is a well regulated militia, though. And the point of the meme is that it literally says well regulated militia and the 18 y/o who shot up a bunch of 4th graders in their classroom doesn't fit that at all so either there is room for interpretation, and thus change. Or there isn't and that guy shouldn't have had that gun based on those words alone. Its not hard. If you are arguing what it means then we are having a different conversation (and one that doesn't belong in this thread I guess) that gets fun. To say the least.

The meme says nothing about "room for interpretation". It divides the world onto people who agree with the writer, and people who can't understand the difference between what the Constitution says, and what they want it to say.

You know what -- I'ma be direct for once. I know you can, and will be happy to, argue this all day -- cause why not. But I'm really not interested. I liked the meme and i disliked your nod to the hypocrisy of the meme that I like lol. That's all this is. I know when to fold 'em. I'm not about to sit here and argue over a sentence that is 250 y/o 🙃 I'm right though. About what? Doesn't matter. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 16 hours ago, Larry said: Well, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that The Right (And especially Abbot). Is going to make this about the police response, and Blame The Cops. To divert attention from how Abbot, and Texas, and the NRA are knowingly complicit in this. And it's possible that the police should be criticized. In addition to Abbott. Oh yeah I'm sure they're definitely going to cue up that line of attack. Can see it coming from a mile away, though it could be a thorny issue for the right since they're the ones who are always talking about supporting police. But we also already know that that belief goes out the window as soon as it's inconvenient for them (aka when trying to storm the Capitol building in an effort to disrupt the democratic process and overthrow election results) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
