So You have found some convenient scapegoats to blame for this latest carnage. Two police officers who might not have done all they could to stop it.

So You have found some convenient scapegoats to blame for this latest carnage. Two police officers who might not have done all they could to stop it.
That might be the case, but what You really need to talk about is the true elephant in the room: All kinds of guns are way too easy to obtain in the US for everybody, including guns that where especially designed to enable any shooter to kill as many people in as short a time as possible. Why is that? Is it a god given right that everybody should be enabled to go out and obtain the tools he needs to massacre as many people as he likes when he feels like it? I can see the need of hunting rifles being accessible to those who wanna use this food source. I'm also fine with small calibre firearms for sport, but I think it's insane to allow people the possession of war style weaponry like sniper rifles and automatic or semiautomatic killer guns. Only trained professionals should be able to access those kind of weaponry.
And that's Your main problem in your country. Nobody wants or dares to address this elephant in the room, exspecially no politicians in positions of power because the gun violence lobby NRA is way to powerful and can stop any political career in its tracks when a politician is actually trying to do something against the carnage instead of just talking the usual bullshit like those ridiculous "thoughts and prayers to the loved ones" and other stuff that fails to address the root causes of all this senseless killing and dying.
Everybody everywhere in the world knows what needs to happen in the US to keep American children safe, everywhere except in some backward states in the US, with Texas being one of the worst. (I watched a news conference the other day with some Texan officials and immediately realized that they were as useless to fix the problem as their cowboy hats were large. Who could ever vote such pathetic relics of centuries long gone into positions of power?)
I grew up in Germany, where quite tough and efficient gun control laws have always been in place. In our school there was no need for drills what to do when some nut with an big gun shows up. No one ever got any funny ideas about arming teachers. What for? I was never afraid to go to school (except when I had skipped homework and my math teacher was a tough one). Nothing ever happened that exceeded the occasional black eye when we students had our disagreements. No need for armed cops in the vicinity. School shootings were unheard of, at least in our country, we only heard about that weird place half way around the world where they cultivate their gun problem and end up having to bury some of their kids from time to time.
So, American politicians.....just quit talking bullshit and start acting. If You still don't know what to do, look around in places where they don't have that habit of shooting dead their own children and see what they do different there. If You still don't get it. It's called GUN CONTROL, the stricter the better. And if You're no politician, than do not donate any money to the NRA, those rotten promoters of gun violence and do not vote for any official who takes even a single cent of bribe money from those morons.
That's how You fix Your problem. By now You should have noticed that anything else, like arming teachers, have armed security in all schools etc, does not work and is only suggested all the time to distract You from seeing the true elephant in the room.
What is everybody waiting for? Don't say anything more, just get to work. You've got it cut out for You!
