“This event is tragic in more ways than you people in the audience could ever fathom from a law enforcement perspective,” McNeil said.
Every time I think my opinion of cops is at rock bottom, they find a new way to piss me off. This shooting is special and bad because one of our people might get in trouble for it!!
And the usage of “you people” feels intentionally pointed. Insulting to everyone’s intelligence/sense of empathy.
Then they go on to claim that they’ll make sure mass shootings won’t be tolerated in this country. Well where the fuck has this person been for the past few decades?
Okay, so not that I think cops deserve fairness, but in fairness…
If she had an extremely strong devotion to her community and a sense of duty to those people, I could see how that would add a layer of grief and guilt on top of her son being an attempted mass murderer.
But given that her son had access to at least one of her weapons, I’m not certain that she’s any different from the rest of the pro-gun-toting rules-don’t-apply-to-us that most of the “blue lives” are.
There’s criminals under every rock and behind every tree. Gotta have unsecured guns within easy reach at all times. On counters, in bedside drawers, in closets, under car seats…

It’s just cop logic. They really do see it as them vs. the general public. That’s the reason ACAB.

Empty words to garner sympathy and cover their own asses.
