How do other police officers feel about the Uvalde school shooting? I saw the videos and was mortified! This is not what we do as cops, we protect and serve first and foremost!

I had no words for what I was witnessing. Just an absolutely inexcusable tragedy

I still get furious when I think about that day

I feel the same, but at the same time, I think if these policemen in Uvalde had permission to open fire, this is not normal behavior.

Certainly, it seems like the type of situation were mistakes were happening at every level

It is a shame what happened in the schools, Uvalde was a total tragedy, I feel that we must be trained to deal with this type of incident because unlike the streets, this is a closed circuit where the goal of the shooter is only to add more victims and he has everything in his favor to achieve it.

As a police officer, I strongly believe that gun laws should be regulated, in all directions, from the general public to the law enforcement sector.

Do I include that on my timesheet??

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices. Trips to and from ohare are costing me about as much as the plane tickets themselves, and even simple things like meeting a friend for dinner in another neighborhood ends up costing around $80 in transportation costs. I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.
