22. Lump's as good a term as any other for the Uvalde cops, I suppose.

You won't hear me defend them. As far as I'm concerned, they were a mob of leaderless, gutless jackasses who stood by and allowed the murder of children. That's utterly contemptible.

You will hear me defend law enforcement when I feel like it's warranted, though, because I live in the real world and there's nuance here. It's not as simple as "all cops are bastards" and "bLuE mAn BaD" and I have no patience for that nonsense. Most of the people saying things like that have absolutely zero knowledge about law enforcement and, even worse, have absolutely zero interest in correcting that ignorance. It's all noise and no signal, never mind a ratio.
