    they now are responsible for potentially more victims.

    No they are not. Multiple court cases have exonerated police for failing to respond or not responding quickly enough. See: Uvalde (among many others).

    They are trying to play it both ways: not responsible but also must respond in the most over-the-top aggressive manner possible.

            This story is about the U.S. and very distinct aspects of our society (notably our healthcare system and our policing), hence the context of my comment is about the U.S.

            Grandmothers in other nations would not have to live stream Minecraft to raise money for their grandchild’s cancer treatment.

            “Yabbut other nations” isn’t going to cut it here because you absolutely 100% know that it is irrelevant to the discussion.

                I’m not talking about Europe though. I am talking about the U.S.

                Even in your original comment, the part about Europe was an “aside” in parenthesis, not the main part of the comment. A footnote, as it were. We aren’t going to divert the conversation over a footnote when the actual article and main content of your comment outside the parenthesis pertains to the U.S.

                    nice that you know better what I meant than me.

                    This isn’t about knowledge, this about staying on the subject vs trying to be pedantic and thinking that you have some sort of clever gotcha. Sorry, but that doesn’t work on me.

                    Will let you know when I need your services again

                    This doesn’t even make sense. I’m not offering any services.

                    It’s time for you to take the “L” and move on. Bye!
