I'll be completely honest: right now I'm ashamed of the current state of law enforcement, so I'm not going to react to your usual anti-cop ****. Government has worked so hard to get social workers they've stopped recruiting people of action. NONE of the guys I worked with would ever have hesitated to go in if kids' lives were at stake. To publicly state you didn't go in because "I might get shot!" nauseates me to no end. I take some solace in knowing it was Border Patrol BORTAC agents who went in and finally put that animal in Uvalde down.
As for the second and third part of your comment... you describe yourself very accurately.
