No need save for a rainy day when you can pass the cost on to taxpayers.  Kind of like CalPERS playing it fast and loose then when their investments shit the bed they go after cities and taxpayers for the difference. 

Politicians love to pass things like this when there's a "surplus" because they can get away with it and they know it won't ever stop even when they're in the red and going after taxpayers for more revenue.

On the upside, progressives suddenly know what women are again.
 
 

Oil Company profit margins are historically lower and in some cases much lower than other industries like insurance, pharmaceuticals, restaurants, soft drink companies and so on.  The federal government takes ~7x what the oil companies make via federal gas taxes and yet they seem to take less criticism for how that money is spent or how many roads they're responsible for that are in poor shape.  It's always easier for our elected officials to point the finger at corporations rather than looking at how efficiently and effectively the money the bring in is spent.   

I get a bunch of housing data and analytics, but no one cared about it so I stopped posting it regarding trends and where the market is at and headed.
All that free government Covid money has a consequence.

We have Biden because the other candidate is a piece of human excrement who only cared about himself.  Amazingly he could have been re-elected if he would have just shut up but his ego wouldn't allow that and instead he pissed off people who normally wouldn't have voted so that they voted against him which is a mindset that ironically helped him beat Hillary.

The Grinch That Stole Everything 

Makes about as much sense as any other reasoning for the cops response:

I think everyone realizes that now but people are trying to figure out exactly why they did nothing because that's the exact opposite of what they should have done.  Initially their story kept changing and now you've got records of kids in classrooms calling the cops begging them for help.  Even if the message came from the top I don't understand how one of the officers with a conscience could stand down.  Just rotten from the top down.  Like UTH said they need to get them out ASAP especially now that they aren't cooperating.

The right to bear arms was put in place 230+ years ago and falling back on 'exercising a right' is a farce considering how much guns and society have changed.  None of what you posted about people using pistols, cars, or whatever justifies high capacity magazine rifles.  We're talking about gun deaths in schools or for that matter any public area.  We can't remove all the guns, we can't prevent every unhinged person from going into any area with a gun, we can't prevent every unhinged person from possibly killing a family member and accessing their gun but we can at least try to address high capacity magazine weapons.  I'm fine with 2A and guns for self defense or hunting but you can't sit here and tell me there's a legit need for 99.99% of the population to need high capacity magazine weapons.

So according to the timeline outlined by the Texas department of public safety the guy was outside the school for 12 minutes before he went in. He fired at people across the street at a funeral home which led to someone calling the cops, hopped a fence and made his way into the school.  He exchanged gunfire with cops who arrived then locked himself in the classroom and killed those kids and teachers.  
 
Those cops sat outside for an hour until the border patrol tactical team went in and killed him.  The guy was absolutely a threat and they should have gone in. Maybe TORS can chime in and correct me but I can’t imagine anything procedure wise says to not go in and stand down for an hour. They had to have heard him shooting in the school. 

Those who sat outside should be charged, lose their job and their pension but I know pension rules vary by state.  Probably a sacrificial lamb or two and paid leave for others but that's me being jaded and expecting the good old boys club to circle the wagons.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic again or not.  According to every account reported so far shortly after entering the school and barricading himself in the shooter opened fire.  I understand that if shots haven't been fired then you get a negotiator and try to talk the person down.  Once the situation becomes an active shooter situation policy or just common sense should dictate that they need to go in.  Otherwise said shooter could just go to classroom from classroom killing kids until swat or whatever response team arrives.
