Another school shooting

Just to be boringly connected to reality.

Often antidepressants are best to get somebody out of the ditch for the first few months but relying on them and not effecting lifestyle and diet changes is bad news.

Meds are not the issue but they should be used wisely. Though for most they are not a long term solution a friend is missing a lot of his intestines, he simply can't produce enough serotonin and needs SSRIs to survive. Case by case.

You are saying you agree with what he said, that means all of it assume. cruise has no medical background or degrees and believes in a fake spirit, he certainly is not qualified to comment on therapy. I am not talking about drugging kids, he makes a comment on ALL things he knows nothing about at all.

I am saying I agree with what he said, and that means all of it. Yes.

He mentions kids as well. But yes, also about Brooke.
 
'Cowards': Teacher who survived Uvalde shooting slams police response
Arnulfo Reyes, from hospital bed, vows students won’t "die in vain."
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/cow...oting-slams-police-response/story?id=85219697

Arnulfo Reyes woke up ready for a good day. His third- and fourth-grade class at Robb Elementary had finished its final tests the week before. Awards were going to be handed out. He planned to show his students a movie, "The Addams Family" -- the animated version.

"It was going to be a good day," Reyes told ABC News anchor Amy Robach in an exclusive interview. "There was nothing unusual that day, we were just walking back to the classroom … to watch the rest of the movie."

Around 11:30 a.m., however, the normalcy shattered. Reyes said he heard a bang. Unsure of what it was, he told the students to get under their desks -- just like they'd practiced

"The kids were yelling, 'What's going on, Mr. Reyes?'" he said. "[The students] were going under the table, and I was trying to get them to do that as fast as I could."

"When I turned around," he said, "I just saw him."

The next 77 minutes of carnage "destroyed" Reyes, he said, and forever changed a school, a community and perhaps a country. By the end of his rampage, a gunman had killed 19 students -- including all 11 in Reyes' classroom -- and two teachers. Reyes himself sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

"I feel so bad for the parents because they lost a child," Reyes told Robach. "But they lost one child. I lost 11 that day, all at one time."

From his hospital bed in San Antonio, less than two weeks after surviving the second-most deadly school shooting in U.S. history, Reyes offered the most vivid account yet of what transpired inside classroom 111 of Robb Elementary School on May 24.

He also waded into the nationwide debate over gun violence and slammed local police as "cowards" for failing to act faster. And while Reyes recovers, he's already plotting his next act: ensuring this never happens again.

"The only thing that I know is that I won't let these children and my co-workers die in vain," he said. "I will go to the end of the world to make sure things get changed. If that's what I have to do for the rest of my life, I will do it."

Those police officers that were the first responders...were cowards and that's an understatement within the context of defenseless children being murdered.

Now, I just heard that Governor Abbott had just ordered all police and police departments to undergo training for active shooting in schools.

That's confusing because I recall Governor Abbott giving a news conference with the mayor of Uvalde within days after the shooting...he specifically stated that Texas police had "active shooter" training and overly praised them for their bravery and their training...

He said that within the context of him taking millions of funds away from mental health departments and moving those funds into police departments for their training...he did that a year or so before the Uvalde shooting...

Strangely, he then stated at the news conference that this is not a gun control problem...its a mental health issue but just as comical...he states the shooter had no history of mental health illness. :D :rolleyes: :banghead:

He probably meant to say the Border Patrol training because no police did shit.

I find it funny that border patrol guards had more balls and common sense than the police to handle the situation.


If this is not the last straw calling for national police reform I dont know what is needed.

I'm not a big fan of the word systemic as it's overused to push political agendas, but it this case it does seem appropriate. Overreacting where unnecessary and then being spectators where decisive action is required seems to be common coast to coast, major metro to rural. Some of it is poor training, but I believe at this point it's more about the wrong type of people wearing that gun and badge.

Poor training and poor candidate evaluation. Should be national standards set with the States cooperating. The trianing is horrible.

I know this is not "official" but there are numerous tik toks of people interacting with police who do not even know the law on "showing an ID" or "filming". The training is appaling and all that BLUE LIVES MATTER from the politicians is complete BULLSHIT because they dont even care to improve training for these men and women. They see nothing wrong with handing out licenses to kill to poorly trained civilians with some having behaviorial issues. This is truly a national issue and there are better trained professions in less dangerous wokr than police.

How can you hand a gun to someone who you have only trained in giving out tickets and wirting reports!!!
