Women are Blamed for Cowardly Cops

Even being a coward and not engaging an active shooter and preventing further murders is the fault of women according to many Florida police officers.  Police officers have one job.  At Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, it was just one man.   What is the excuse for countless law enforcement males that showed up at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas?

Although active-shooter calls have come to feel ubiquitous in America, they’re still rare for any given officer to receive.  And when they do get that call, many cops say, they’ve likely spent more time learning about their department’s sexual-harassment policy than about gunfighting.  Which is partly why, on the day when a psychopath emerges in their town and they’re presented with a moment that reveals their character, many cops discover that any dreams of heroism that might have drawn them to the job are not enough to propel them into action (To Stop a Shooter by Jamie Thompson in The Atlantic, March 2024).

Any working American who has to satisfy training requirements know damn well that Sexual Harassment is no more than a 30-minute tutorial on the company’s website.  Often, it can and is fast-forwarded through to get to the survey and print out the completion certificate until next year.  No one is stuck all day sitting in classrooms, role playing, and having to prove their proficiency in reciting the department’s Sexual Harassment policy. 

In the above assertion, the implication is if the police officers had more gunfighting training less students and school officials would be murdered.  If that is so, wouldn’t it also imply that since gunfighting training is squeezed out due to an overabundance of sexual harassment training, there wouldn’t be any sexual harassment, or at minimum, significantly less?
