A state set up tactical response team that was trained and prepared for the situation solves that problem entirely. Less funding for militarized police and just transfer that funding to a tactical response outfit. You’re acting like doing something new is simply impossible when it’s realistically the only logical conclusion, the funding and supplies are there already it’s just being used on complete bullshit.
I never said it was impossible and I don't believe that either. My point with that active shooter part was that even if you have a really good dedicated team, sometimes the response time matters or things get way worse by the time they arrive.
So if the tactical dream team was a thing how many of these teams would be needed to get a reasonable response time? Would it be one per city, or a set amount per region?
And yeah the police currently have a bunch of tactical stuff they have around and use on stuff they shouldn't "just in case"
It would take like four with helicopters to have at most a two hour response time for any situation while planning is happening during transit, and all we would have to do is stop buying tanks for the god damned cops.
But hey, you know what, fuck it, right? I’m so tired of this. Nevermind, let’s just do nothing and let the police do whatever the fuck they want, I guess, there’s no point in trying because nothing will ever be perfect every time so it’s not even worth trying because effort is hard and change is impossible. Fuck me, I hate this god damned country and every kowtowing god damned bootlicker in it. Why the fuck is everyone so fucking against doing anything logical? Why the fuck is this country so dead-set on the idea that if it’s not perfect then we might as well just boil in hell and do nothing about it?
Not even joking I didn't think of the helicopter idea, it's genuinely good
