    I must now go to the source Supporter

    Here it is:

    “If there’s kids in there, we need to go in”: Officers in Uvalde were ready with guns, shields and tools — but not clear orders

    So, yeah, they straight up lied about the door being locked. No surveillance footage exists of any officers attempting to open the door. Surveillance shows Ramos go in and out of the classroom at least three separate times. That door was not locked. They stood around waiting for a key they did not need. At one point, an officer showed up telling the others that his wife, a teacher, was in that classroom and had called to let him know she’d been shot and was bleeding out. He most likely begged and pleaded with them to take action because eventually he became enough of a nuisance to them to have officers escort him off the premises. A DPS officer also showed up and asked them why they were just standing around when gunshots were going off. They told him that they “should have a supervisor approve that,” to which the DPS officer replied “He’s not my supervisor” and then left to go clear other classrooms on his own, classrooms the officers had straight up abandoned. He even found and rescued a poor, terrified little kid hiding in the bathroom. They had a Halligan for 50 minutes in case they needed it (which, again, that door absolutely was not locked) but never used it. The police chief went searching for a master key rather than looking for the right classroom key, but he tested OTHER classroom doors for the master key. So if he had tested the actual classroom door, he would have found that it was not locked. There were so, so many officers in there just standing around. Once border patrol showed up, they went in and killed Ramos within seconds. When the Uvalde police officers first encountered Ramos upon entry into the school, he fired at them and they took shrapnel, but never fired a single shot back. Just utterly baffling.

    If I were a “liberal” judge I would make sure that I go against the right-wing judges 100% of the time.

    The “liberal” judges are pretty much conservatives for the most part. Everyone’s favorite RBG had some horrifying opinions no one likes to talk about.

    When talking about these supreme court justices, I feel like "liberal" means standing slightly to the left of the guy who just made a campaign commerical where he's storming into people's houses and shooting Republicans for not being conservative enough.
