They are staving new borns to death because it's not profitable enough, don't expect a load of folk being gunned down to be anything other than the norm for a good long while yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 At least 3 dead and 11 wounded in a Friday night shooting in Philadelphia. Again, as is, doesn’t meet the criteria for a mass shooting…Jesus wept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Do you think they are all deliberately killing only 3 to keep it out of the stats? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whose stats…some require 5 dead (so include the shooter, some don’t), some require 4 dead, some require 5 injured or dead, etc…it’s all political bullshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Makes a change from shooting them - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61712871Obviously a tragedy but there’s a video covering the Uvalde School Incident from a well respected lawyer/YouTuber that covers this aspect of “police protecting the public”. In the US the police have no obligation, constitutionally, to protect the public. Bonkers, but no surprise really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Is the job of American cops simply to stand around in military grade kit, wearing aviators and trying to look hard? (Apart from needlessly murdering non-white people of course) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) We aren't exactly perfect on that front either. The Fire Brigade didn't respond to the Manchester Bombing and there have been a few other incidents where people have died where they attended then didn't do anything due to health and safety. There was also an incident in Lanarkshire a few years ago where a drug dealer bled to death after being shot because the paramedics wouldn't approach the scene and it took over 30 minutes for him to receive treatment.

I think it’s far easier here to hold police forces/emergency services accountable. Moreover I wouldn’t expect a paramedic to jump into a possible gang turf war with guns firing off. They would probably have to wait until the armed police turned up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not defending their lack of response btw, they were trained and they just failed at doing what they were trained to do. They completely fucked up the set procedure for dealing with that shooter in Uvalde. That post was more meaning paramedics and other emergency responders. Some Americans want paramedics armed ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they'd have space on their utility belts for a handgun and a spare magazine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
