its the guns fault. The police were cowards?? My guess is this is all just a smoke screen by the left to deflect from the real truth. What caused this is the moral decay the liberals have brought to this country. It started with the clintons and really got rolling under obama and has become epidemic under biden. They are going to push any narrative that gets them votes. We have police today, and this might very well be an example of it, that are afraid to act because when its over some leftist will twist what they did into a crime and put them in jail. Does george floyd ring a bell??? I wont arm chair quarterback what trained law enforcement did or guess on what there orders and policys are. Its easy to judge when your sitting at home and nobodys shooting at you. Me? ill give them the benefit of the doubt. They at least had the balls to put there lives on the line every day for us. What have you judgers done? Saddens me that people HERE will jump to judgement against our police officers and border patrol. What chance do they have if even the right is willing to hang them out to dry before the facts are even in. This is the last place id expect that trash.
Agreed Lloyd. There is slightly less than 700 thousand police officers nationwide In a country with some 320 million folks, and under current conditions the number of police officers is shrinking, and rightly so.
With so many rumors, and misinformation flying around, along with unashamed politics in play the police are already the bad guys.
The Texas Rangers have a reputation of sifting through the garbage and coming up with the facts. I'm gonna opt for facts instead of wild accusations, and surmising.
In the end, dead cops don't save anybody.
I don't know how many cops were there, but I saw a bunch walking around with ARs or equivalent.
There's many 17 and 18 year old kids who sign up for the military knowing they could be put in harms way and possibly lose their life. They do it willingly, they will charge the enemy because it's their job.
Why do cops become cops?? Is it so they can strut around with a badge and gun, stopping motorists and making money for their agency?? Is it so they can blame protocol for standing around while children die??
If they are scared, get a different job.
I was sworn in on my 17th birthday knowing I would probably end up in Vietnam.
Why do cops wear guns if they are too scared to use them against a bad guy with a gun??
Why don't we just fire all regular cops and just have a few detectives who show up and examine the carnage and count the dead children and say, we sure could use some cops with guts.
I feel very strong about protecting children beginning with those in the womb, and IN MY OPINION GOD will not forgive me if I stand idly by and let children be butchered.
Well, I suppose your including me so why don't we just get straight to the nut cutting. Just how many tours in Vietnam did you do. How many fire fights were you in, how many goods did you kill, or were you one of those in the rear with the gear? Or did you even finish you sign up?
You're ranting on sumthin you don't know a damn thing about, and you're armchair quarterbackin an event based on television reports. Your an "A Typical" that done your little career in the private sector and may or may not have joined the local volunteer fire dept. 
I think when this investigation is completed your gonna need a doctor to get that big foot out of your mouth.
I'm gonna give'em the benefit of the doubt and let the Texas Rangers do their job.
I did not go to nam.
When I finished my training as a loadmaster on C-130s (that was my job at Delta Airlines) I went for my physical for deployment and a crooked spine was discovered. I'm now nearly crippled.
We are all armchair quarterbacks. Look at the posts of any member.
Would you have taken the initiative and tried to save the children??
Or would you have stood around outside and counted gun shots??
If you had done the first, you would be a hero in my eyes.
If you had done the second, you would be a coward like the rest.

I would never forgive myself if I didn't try ANYTHING to save children from being murdered.
The pictures of the scene outside showed cops with ARs and armored vehicles and quasi-military troops who like to dress up in battle gear and play soldier but are too chicken to go up against a 18yo kid.
Once again, if you're scared, get a different job.
Question; what's the purpose of a cop??
Like I said. You're talking about something you don't know a damn thing about. You're one of those TV commandos that watch edited film snippets and declare cowardice on very little information.
You've never seen combat, you've never pinned on a badge and answered any kind of a call, but your one of those that knows what should been done. That wide screen in your living room tells you everything you need to know about shoulda, coulda, woulda, and what YOU would done, and calling officers cowards.
You've never done anything remotely simular, but by god you'd a done it right. BS!.
I just watched an interview of a retired former swat commander from L.A. who didn't use the word coward, but, he said he would have ignored orders and went in to SAVE CHILDREN.
And, the border patrol was told to stand down but they decided to heck with orders and they went in and killed the shooter.
Those were real men doing the job they signed on to do and they did it at their peril. GOD bless them.
I've seen enough videos of the cops standing around sipping water (must have been hot where they were) while CHILDREN DIED.
I guess it's more important to follow orders to the letter to protect their retirement rather than go save CHILDREN'S LIVES.
I guess I couldn't be a cop because I have a heart and care about people, especially CHILDREN.
And, IMO, a person, cop or not, who doesn't try to save CHILDREN is a COWARD.
You have your opinion and I have mine but I can lay my head down tonight and rest knowing I didn't let a CHILD die.
And, I know that cops have this flag defacing brotherhood where they will stand around and watch their fellow cops break the law and with few exceptions will not say a word.
Let's use George Floyd as an example, the younger cop who the arrest belonged to suggested that Floyd be turned on his side so he could breath, a nurse and a martial arts fellow both were yelling that Chauvin was killing him.
And the young cop and the two other cops, all of who had been trained that you turn them on their side, stood by and allowed Chauvin to kill Floyd. They sacrificed a human being to save their jobs.
And before anyone yells about floyd being a doper and a crook, remember that as long as a person is drawing breath there's a chance that he/she will come to GOD.
