In reply to the discussion: They were brown. [View all]AkFemDem
(2,200 posts)5. I personally know a police officer who responded
And he, like most of the town, was brown.
The father of one of the murdered children was an on duty sheriffs deputy!!! He too was brown!
Many of the border patrol agents who responded (both on and off duty) were brown!!
The men and women who responded had children of their own in that school. Do you not think if there was any way to get to those kids and not get any more killed they would have??!! Ultimately it took finding a school administrator who could find a classroom key to breach the classroom. What else would you have had these browns officers do? Fire indiscriminately through the walls and door??!!!

One of the teachers killed was the wife of a cop. One cop lost his daughter. Are you aware of that?

Perhaps the poster is referring to the fact that many of the police were also "brown".

If you want to be an apologist for the police inaction here, THAT is what is offensive.

No one is apologizing for police inaction. But people are rightly calling out...

I don't disagree, except for one thing: color, religion etc is not what's at issue
