The police involved in responding to the horrific Uvalde school shooting might have been cowards worthy of nothing but contempt, but not all police in America are so timid and unwilling to step up and stop a maniac from slaughtering children.
Some cops, thankfully, are still willing to do their jobs and step up and shoot thugs who would dare to prey upon the children in their community, who are willing to respond to gunfire not by tazing parents and tackling desperate fathers but by responding to lead with lead and putting down the threat.
One such cop is Sheriff Grady Judd in Polk County, Florida. He, in a press conference following the shooting and the horrific revelations about the police refusal to enter the building and deal with the threat, said that his officers would shoot a school shooter “graveyard dead”.
He began that speech by thanking God that his community was still safe, saying “I think, but for the grace of God, it could have been any one of us and our children or our grandchildren.”
Then, continuing after calling the hour the police in Uvalde let the mass-murderer roam the school “unacceptable”, Sheriff Judd said “When you take your children to school healthy and well in the morning, you have every right and expectation to receive them back in the afternoon in the same healthy state.”
He then emphasized that his officers are trained to put down the threat and will do so in such a situation, holding up a photo of a heavily-armed officer and saying:
“If you come to a school in this county, armed, we’re going to do our best through either our guardians, our school resource officers, or our school resource deputy sheriffs to eliminate the threat outside of the school before they ever get to the children. We’re trained to do that.
“This is the last thing you’ll see before we put a bullet through your head if you’re trying to hurt our children. We are going to shoot you graveyard dead if you come onto a campus, with a gun, threatening our children or shooting at us.”
Watch that here:
Sheriff Judd mixes no words (Polk County vernacular) when it comes to letting you know how he feels about keeping kids safe. We’re praying for Uvalde. Have a safe and happy summer everyone. #PrayersForUvalde #UnitedWithUvalde pic.twitter.com/E7swt5oT55

Sheriff Judd was joined on stage by Ryan Petty, an advocate of arming teachers to prevent school shootings, or at least quickly deal with the threat of a school shooter. He, in a recent Twitter thread, said:
A set of proposals to protect schools from horrific attacks, mirroring much of what we’ve done in Florida. To this list I would add allowing qualified school staff to carry firearms to protect themselves and students. Here’s why that’s so important 👇 1/
Since the year 2000, there has yet to be a single case of someone being wounded or killed from a shooting, let alone a mass public shooting, between 6:00 AM and midnight at a school that lets teachers carry guns. 2/
People fear teachers irresponsibly using guns or students obtaining a teacher’s gun. But none of that has happened. There has been only one accidental discharge by a teacher in recent years, and that was outside of school hours. 3/
In Florida, we have the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian program with rigorous training requirements. I’ve been through the training. It was tough and Guardians are required to pass marksmanship training with a higher proficiency score than law enforcement. 4/
Frankly, either teachers shooting the psycho or a police officer doing so seems like a far better idea than pepper-spraying and tazing parents while letting a maniac go on a hate-filled rampage and murder their children inside the school building, as the Uvalde police did.
