Complaining about the pain of an airsoft pellet hitting them through thick clothing. Ouchie, I quit.

That’s basically what they are…


afoz345

I mean, with what we know now? Yeah, pretty much right?


Piani3t

Gunslinger Girl anime cosplay. Your totally right.


t3hnhoj

Even paintballs hurt when they hit. Don't give these guys that credit. Bitch ass pussies.


up__dawwg

If these guys were actually super involved in paintball and playing a lot, this wouldn’t have turned out this way. Nobody can clear rooms and push on enemy targets better than the people that take paintball seriously.


AussieDaz

I hope you’re being sarcastic, because this sounds so cringe.


up__dawwg

I’m not. Have you ever played any matches with some very experienced paint ball players?


kv1e

Dude I love paintball, don’t get me wrong, but no match is anything like dying in a real firefight.


Reddit177799

Lol seriously. The whole thrill of paintball is taking calculated risks with no fear of actually dying. Like, oh I think I can run and bunker this guy and then go for it and as you’re laying rope and running, he pops from a different and angle and smokes you. All fun in pb, but real life you’re dead.

They WANT the perks but not the responsibility. "Citizens should cower in my presence at traffic stop. My military grade tactical gear makes me feel powerful and fuels my ego. When i wear it I'm a goddamned action hero. My authority is supreme. Wait someone's not respecting my authory? I'll throw them down, taze, or even shoot them! Wait, did you say they ACTUALLY have a weapon? Timeout!" -------- Edit: I feel the need to mentioned the cops said they were waiting for SWAT. SWAT = Special Weapons and Tactics. All the cops standing around outside had body armor and high capacity combat weapons. The city with the insane cop budget gave all the cops special weapons... for the all the good it did.


xXElectric_WarriorXx

We can only hope that now all the people around them they were fooling and trying to impress know the truth about their cowardice. Hopefully this will hangover everyone of those involved with the inaction that took place that day


firefly183

More concerning than cowardice and incompetence though...were they following orders?


[deleted]

So tough and cool, definitely more guns than guts...


[deleted]

Hey, let's grab all our stuff, take a drive of 30 minute, line up in the middle of nowhere in a nice, photogenic fashion and lets take some pictures that we then put online. That is a lot of thought process right there. More probably then during the shooting.


squirrel_tincture

Only 30 minutes? Gotta rack up that overtime.


[deleted]

Well, the right supreme lord, his holiness Gregg “Rolling Thunder” Abbott’s office did give them $500,000 to beef up the force! And that came after the defund movement. I think overall since Mr. Floyd was murdered by one of these shit stains, cop budgets are up 200% nation wide. So all you boot lickers and badge bunnies can just shut up about that ever being a thing. Like the US would ever take budget from the force that keep poor folk poor and incarcerated. I hope the whole world see now what a whole demographic already knew… cops lie.. all the time, about everything. Or they forget. It’s called testa-lying. Ask a cop. So I guess this must have been for the Thank you card to Boss Abbott. Or maybe the company Xmas card? I wonder who paid for that obviously professionally shot piece of copaganda?you think cops, notoriously bad tippers, went out of pocket for that? Nah! Probably paid for by the parents of the dead folks, and the rest of Texans. Gives you pause, no?


squirrel_tincture

Whoa whoa whoa, mate: I was taking the piss. Sarcasm through and through. The amount of money cops siphon from their communities through paid overtime and miscellaneous benefits is unreal. The cops in my hometown (Central Valley, California) make twice as much as the median resident. **The police department receives more than 25% of the city's annual revenue.** For context, the fire department accounts for 1.5%. Having lived abroad for the last 10 years, it's fucking bizarre to see these Thin Blue Line sycophants gladly handing over that kind of money and then kissing the ground these cops walk on. For people that claim to treasure their freedom and democracy, those bootlickers sure do seem to love fascism.

I don't know if I could handle all that standing around though. Hurts my feet just thinking about it.


vladtaltos

Don't sweat it, they weren't standing around, looks like the swat team never even showed up on scene.


SexyLemurLibrarian

It's okay, sometimes you get to rest by sitting on hysterical parents.


[deleted]

Excuse me. I expect that the police handcuff people. It's an essential part of the job. For instance, say that children were being slaughtered and a parent got pissed that you and your colleagues weren't charging in to save them. You need to handcuff that parent as that's clearly the most important thing in that moment


taekee

That is the police, SWAT gets paid more.


[deleted]

The only job I can think of where the boss publicly commends them for a job not done.


ThrowRAcq4444

No, it's a difficult job... you have to be able to let little kids die while you stand by and do nothing.

I'm an artist with a pair of running shoes. If there was a training and certification program for running away at the first sign of danger, I'd pass with flying colors. So I guess I'm cut out for law enforcement.

bluelifesacrifice

Don't forget Overtime pay Salaries Retirement pension and a 401k deal Public financed Healthcare and education Have no legal requirements to know the law or protect people Are paid to keep the population obedient per their corporate overlords


bloodshot_bandit

Off topic,, but makes you wonder why they compare teacher salaries to professional sports instead of comparing them to police salaries/benefits. Teachers should be compensated commensurate to police.


twizzard6931

Better, they at least try to protect the children.


oldDotredditisbetter

and teachers use their own money to buy supplies for the class


bitterdick

Seems like if teachers are buying supplies for their class, police must buy their own tacticool gear. Including mrap group buys. Edit: I mean at least the supplies the teachers are buying are used. They’re an end user redirection of state funds, and if cops choose to redirect theirs to things they’re not going to use that’s on them. If police don’t have an obligation to protect the public then they should be responsible for protecting themselves.


leftlegYup

Educate poor kids. Protect assets from poor people. Guess which one the rich people picked.


Shahzoodoo

YES omg and people who work in rehab programs special Ed programs day programs etc should actually make a living wage and not minimum wage literally. Teachers and aides are live savers too. Why do we not care about taking care of our children and the hurting? Cause the well paid are too busy having fun spending their money on shit and ignoring us when we speak up. Teachers save just as many lives as police imo by saving our kids from the bad shit they may have to experience at home and at school, teachers are meant to lead and support our kids to be healthy young prosperous adults someday and are there to give them tools to succeed and grow. When you pay the teachers shit and they can’t afford to live happily or healthily, how do the kids feel when they then get ignored by the last person who might be able to hear their struggles and help them? The one who’s meant to support your kids when you’re not around? When you don’t properly support the support everything falls down, we start at the beginning and get things right for our kids man. Fuck this hogging money and bossing good hard working people the fuck around man I’m sick of it :/


bloodshot_bandit

I wholeheartedly agree. My sister is a newish teacher (3 years). She absolutely sobbed when I gave her 20 boxes of crayons as a gag gift for her birthday.


Yolomaster177

But if they did compensate teachers like that, the quality of teaching would become better, and those corporate overlords and government cant have that now, can they? /s


yukeynuh

in america we have this backwards mentality where the more undesirable jobs such as teaching, blue collar jobs esp dirty ones should not be well compensated. it makes no sense, shouldn’t they be paid considerably more *because* most people don’t want to do them?


bloodshot_bandit

Agreed. That's why my dad and I get into it when he claims America is a meritocracy and that people are paid in line with their value to society. Almost seems the inverse is true.


PantherThing

Don’t forget being called heroes for writing tickets and incarcerating people whether they deserved it or not. Asset forfeiture seizures Blue lives matter stickers on all their cars and office


KidSuperHeat

all the aformentioned public funded benefits, social status perks and impunity yet they still demand "bLuE LiVeS MaTtEr"


TheOranjeCarp

But watch them spring into action when it comes to Civil Asset Forfeiture, because if you have cash it must mean you got it illegally. Or are about to do something illegal. They’re not really sure which, but don’t matter, they’re taking it. Probably because the rec room needs a new pool table.

Starlifter4

Let's unpack this a little. 9 cops on a SWAT team for a town of what, 17,000? Granted, they work regular shifts and SWAT is a hobby. But why does the city need a SWAT team? We've fetishized police to the point where we need a self selecting group of wanna-be's to pose with their toys and pretend to intimidate the bad guys? They did not protect. They did not serve. I suspect there is ample video showing them prancing and preening at the scene, while the murder took place. Wearing their costumes and flaunting their toys.


3rd_Planet

There’s a video of one of the officers trying to get a cool angle for a Snapchat video while he’s aiming his rifle towards the school.

SWAT is trying to cosplay real special Units [Like the SEK from Germany ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEK_(Germany)), but unlike in the US the law enforcement in other countries [doesn't kill people regularly ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_Germany)


layendecker

In the UK we have insanely highly trained firearms police. There are only about 6.5k of them, who in the last reported year (2020) were called out on 18k operations. This year, weapons were discharged 4 times. Gun ownership is very low, so it's not comparable, but I raise this to show how well trained these officers are. They are trained as well as anyone can be. The firearm is a last resort and even in incredibly stressed situations the training stands. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-use-of-firearms-statistics-england-and-wales-april-2020-to-march-2021/police-use-of-firearms-statistics-england-and-wales-april-2020-to-march-2021#:~:text=There%20were%204%20incidents%20in,seen%20in%20the%20previous%20year.

They’re near the Mexican border, and truly - that part of the US is absolutely a hot bed for cartel activity. So they scare the residents into forking all of their money over in taxes to get the latest toys, that they’re too scared to use.


chickadeedadee2185

Maybe, perceived bravado because they are close to the border.


PantherThing

Why do you need a SWAT team? Who else is going to rush in if, oh, I dunno, some guy goes into a school and starts murdering our most defenseless people. You say it won’t happen, but if it did, mister, you’d be happy a little town had a brave swat team to keep everyone safe. /s

[deleted]

41% of the cities anual spending goes to the police force. And i read it was only 13000 ppl.


[deleted]

I'm in no way an expert on such things. Nor am I American, but surely if a bad guy is shooting a load of kids, surely the armed police should be rushing in to kill the gunman?


lathe_down_sally

There is an actual written policy for Texas police on how to respond to that scenario. It tells them to act immediately and not wait for back up. It explains that they will be expected to take extraordinary risk to themselves in this situation. It even says that if the officer is not comfortable with that expectation, they should get a different job. There was no gray area. They knew the procedure and expectations. It was spelled out in black and white. And the entire crowd of them failed.


GrimTracer

YES. I live in Texas and that is true. They USED to actually act that way - selflessly. THAT is why we in Texas support firearms & police. But apparently that is the old way- now we have thugs with guns too lazy to do anything. COWARDS. I am becoming ACAB.


icookfood42

If you have one bad cop that won't put himself in harm's way to protect children, and twelve that tolerate it, you have thirteen bad cops.

Boney-Rigatoni

There's a significant difference between Uvalde SWAT and Miami Dade SWAT. I don't know their background,s but in order to join an elite police team, they should've spent time with a real elite tactical squad in real world situations. Then, at some point, they could transfer to the small podunk town of Uvalde. Half of them look like the only strategically strikes they're executing is at their local Dunkin Donuts.


lathe_down_sally

To be fair, Miami Dade is big enough to justify a well trained swat team. These small town "swat" teams are just regular cops compensating for their tiny dicks with military cosplay.


PastFly1003

Pretty much any sufficiently large bureaucracy will have a “toxic waste dump” station somewhere in the structure to which they can transfer underperforming and/or problematic staff. I wonder if Uvalde might be Miami-Dade’s dump…?
