Kinda off topic, but I hate seeing this picture.

But to Uvalde residents and officials investigating the shooting, the footage showed something else. The officer depicted is Ruben Ruiz, whose wife, Eva Mireles, lay dying inside one of the classrooms with the gunman.

Mireles told Ruiz in a phone call that she had been shot. Ruiz, standing in the hallway with his pistol drawn, was unable to get to her. Other officers ultimately escorted Ruiz from the scene and took his gun. Mireles was alive when police transported her from the classroom, but she died before reaching the hospital.

So maybe let's not post this any more?

Such a coward he wouldn't even save his wife.

See the documentary and get back to me:

It'll take an hour, and it will fucking hurt. Man the fuck up and have a look before you mouth off. SPOILER: It doesn't make excuses for the cops. But it ain't what you think either.

EDIT: Seems some pussies aren't able to handle actual evidence. Huh. How very conservative.

I don't know why you're trying so hard to convince me that dudes a chicken shit

^ Didn't watch the video. So, too chickenshit to learn something that may go against your preconceived notions. You'd fight right in with the conservative FaceBook gang!

I don't owe you, an internet stranger, my time. And calling someone names expecting2 them to comply with your demand for their time is a bizarre tactic and also a dick move. Unless you can summarize this video in a paragraph tops, I just don't care and with how shitty a person you're showing yourself to be, we're really down to one or two sentences which is more of my attention then you deserve.
