You can say you don't like the question but there are hundreds of school shootings a year. It's not a hypothetical. What is the ACAB crowd's answer for what people should do in these cases? Just... wait?
Why would you phrase it like that? Surely you know about the cops waiting in Uvalde.
Also - you do know that despite the aweful response the cops did actually eventually kill the shooter right?
So.... Don't call the cops gets you... What exactly? Basically the same thing but the shooter is allowed to just continue without any resistance?
I'm being serious even though I know you aren't.
Your question doesn't make any sense. Your original question was in response to someone saying they don't call the cops in their house.
So to the question of what they do when there's violence at a school, the obvious answer is: they call the cops.
You reiterated your question asking what the "ACAB crowd" would do. Again the answer is obvious: they call the bastards.
That may be why you're not getting "serious" answers, because you didn't ask a serious question, even if you thought you did.
I took it to be a "In this house we obey the laws of physics" type expression. If not then I'm yet to be corrected by the original commenter.
I mean... I did. Just none of them would actually say it or even provide an alternative. I'd happily accept an alternative if they could provide one. They love to say "don't call the cops" and it's utter bullshit. They apparently don't like having their bullshit exposed either.
