Apparently, The Border Patrol Are The Only Real Police Left In America

Via TTAG.

Courtesy of reddit/Firearms, here is what happened to him as he braved the fire.  He’s a legend and hero to the guys at reddit/Firearms.

Now to be certain, we’ve pointed out before that the police are under no legal obligation to protect and serve.  See the following.

Castle Rock v. Gonzalez

Warren v. District of Columbia

DeShaney v. Winnebago County

Still, it’s good to see there are real men left in America.

    For an interesting cnn news clip about one of the young 4th graders who was apparently killed, she has two different dads. See http://www.jimstoneindia.com/.zt4.html Scroll down just a bit to see it.

    That’s precisely correct, but the political elites and the deep-state want so badly to ban guns that they are willing to use the nation’s children and young people as de facto sacrificial lambs in order to better advance their agenda. Which is deeply evil if you pause to think about it.

    All of the window-dressing and political theater about “protecting children” with gun control is nothing more than a veritable mountain of lies. The reality is precisely the opposite: They are so blood-thirsty and amoral that they are willing to place children at risk of losing their lives, in order to get what they want. Draw your own conclusions, but from where I sit, that is some deep, dark evil right there.

    Desperate governments do desperate things. Diaspora before the big tanking coming soon.
    World’s getting off the dollar.
    Everyone is sick of the USA’s shit.

    Prepare more.

    If the cops merely were unwilling to confront the killer, they’d only be branded garden variety cowards. If the had only hindered parents wanting to save their children, they’d be regarded the worse. But now we know that the cops intentionally caused the death of a child so that they’d be safe. They are now accomplices to murder. https://areaocho.com/oh-my-god/

    Off duty civilian Border patrol agent stopped this with a borrowed civilian weapon. Never forget a civilian having a weapon stopped this.
    He was acting as a Husband and Father not as a LEO. His credentials just got him through the door.
    I’m glad he was outside the chain of command on site.

    @Eric

    Pretty sure you’re conflating two different guys and two different stories.

    Jacob Albarado was the guy in the barber shop.

    Nowhere in his interviews does he say he even entered.

    He evacuated kids and his daughter.

    The other guy, whose name I haven’t found, drove 40 miles, is a member of the BOTAC team, doesn’t look Hispanic (Jacob Albarado does) and did catch a graze to the noggin doing his job.

    Jus’ sayin’ this is how information gets all confused on any matter.

    Duh huh

    Name is in the copy of tweet right up there

    “…Gigachad who breached the school, neutralized the shooter…”

    Too busy exercising my Google-Fu to remember where I saw it
