Personal Accountability And Initiative Vs. “The Process We Follow”

You probably know the high-level of what happened in Uvalde about a year ago now, where several officers — at one point 30 officers from eight different law enforcement organizations — didn’t enter a classroom against one armed dude for about 54 minutes, thus likely creating more casualties. Here’s a good video summary of that:

In Nashville, which happened a few months ago, the cops basically charged in, and eventually killed the shooter on the second floor of the building. I can’t tell entirely, but it looks like 3–5 cops were involved.

If you look at protocol from the feds around mass casualty shooting events, there’s some political and bureaucratic nonsense…

I write about a lot of different topics, from work to masculinity to relationships and social dynamics, I.e. modern friendship. Pleasure to be here.
