Do you relive this every time you see another school shooting on the news?

I lost 5 classmates 9 years ago in a school shooting. I get sick, furious, and tears in my eyes every god damned time another one happens. I think back to all the crying (teachers and students alike), trying to start classes back up and go on with life. It's like it happened yesterday.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this and join a growing club that should never exist.

You seem to have an agenda of saying there are too many police shootings. The ticker on your page clearly demonstrates that.

Does it bother you that when readers actually read the descriptions of the cases they all sound very very reasonable?

"LaPort was fatally shot after allegedly firing into the air and levelling a shotgun at officers during an encounter at a home near Great Sacandaga Lake."

" Crittenden fled into a house and reportedly took refuge in an attic. When he emerged, he allegedly opened fire on an officer who then returned fire."

"Vanderburgh allegedly pointed a rifle at deputies from the window of a lakeside house they were surrounding after an hour-long standoff."

Damn scary to be a cop it seems! I can see why the other ones happen. Like "No firearm was found. Shell casings found on the floor indicated the officers fired 19 times."

When did "journalists" start trying to create the news instead of simply informing the public about the news?

Thank you for your answer. More access to the facts is never a bad thing when it comes to such an important question as to why so many people are dying!

As the US is a country with easy access to cheap and plentiful guns, why shouldn't police officers be on edge?

Follow-up: Why is 'unarmed' considered not dangerous? Someone that seems unarmed can become armed quite quickly- especially if they get close to an officer who can themselves be disarmed.
