Props to this principal. He's got more stones on him than half the cops in America.

no bone spurs on this guy!
Just another day in a US school.
Except the guy didn't get to do the pew pew part.
This guy vs the entire Uvalde police force
some people think that strength is what wins a fight, but a good luchadore knows that is not true. Its weight!
American hero right there. Those families will never forget what he did for them.
School administrators doing more for public safety than fucking police would.
Great job focusing on the gun (grabbing that arm) and then incapacitation. Lucky this ended this way.
The police wont endanger themselves to save others. They argue in court that they are only there to do paperwork, and that "protect and serve" was just marketing, and was never a promise to do either. Useless bullies. They use their monopoly on the use of force to protect themselves, and thats it.
won’t
I saw one story that alleged a police officer endangered himself to save others. The kind of thing police might want to quantify.
Hmm…
Anyone know if they have tried to quantify how often they put themselves in harm's way? Some starting point for analysis (removing incidents that don’t meet strict criteria), eventually get to a number: “police endanger themselves less than x% of the time”
Each year the U.S. pigs shoot and kill over a thousand people. They always claim, without exception, that those were dangerous situations (for the police).
In reality, of course many of them were not, and the cops just murdered someone because fuck it, but it's impossible to know exactly how often that occurs.
A couple hundred pigs die each year, but they don't break down those numbers. However, reliable data shows that the majority of on-duty deaths are traffic accidents, the majority of those are caused by the pigs themselves, either through carelessness, recklessness, or negligence.
Its also liability. Doing nothing has been successfully argued in court over and over. If they do things and bad things happen because of it, they can be held liable. I think there are some cops who would definitely jump in there, but i agree that most wouldnt put themselves in that situation.
JFC, dude came boiling out of a shadow on the wall.
I had to watch it three times before I saw what the camera angle showed as a barely-there nook in the wall.
This is what heroes do. They run towards the danger, not away.
Well, unless they have bone spurs.
Wow TIL OK has schools
They’re mostly auxiliaries to football teams.
Where else would they shot their guns?
Not if they had anything to say about it.
Walters is out, the replacement Lindell Firkds just pulled the exact same stunt again this just month.
Americans...
A country that produces mental health issues... And they give them guns. And Americans defend this like it's a normal fact of life.
David Bowie made a whole song about that.
I've seen lots of videos of good guys without guns saving people from bad guys with guns, but I've never seen a "good guy" with a gun do jack shit.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the guy who shot Charlie Kirk lol. You guys have more class than I do, that's for sure.
There was a case a few years ago where a good guy with a gun stopped a shooter. The bad guy apparently shot and killed a cop, and reportedly wanted to shoot other cops. The good guy shot & killed the bad guy.
Then the cops showed up and killed the good guy with the gun.

It happens occasionally, but it's pretty rare. I heard a story some time back of a gunman who drove up on a birthday party or something, and a bystander shot them.
The rate is far lower than the rate of gun accidents, or even gun homicides though. It's not an argument for lax gun laws. It just is an occasional side effect that can't and shouldn't be counted on.
That principal is a serious hero, and very lucky. Great pin and control on the weapon, he put all his weight into it.
Someone: < installs motif in the middle of the floor > Also Someone: nooo don’t walk on the motif.
Is there a way to vote for this principal for mayor?
His campaign tagline could be "The principal with principles!".
He did get crowned prom king this year by his students. It might be hard to see, but he did take a bullet in this altercation.
