There was a time when a story could happen, and literally wighin minutes you'd have multiple sources of video, on the scene, as the story happens.
I'm not promoting school shootings. I'm not encouraging them. I'm not glorifying them. But there was a LONG time when I expected a high school shooting to happen, and a high school student would livestream it with a hashtag like #schooladdress #help
Closest I ever saw was Uvalde school security cameras showing police showing up.......and being cowards. I will forever call those cowards out. You show up, 30 to 1, all with guns, and you let one student continue to kill at a time when every second is a potential live being saved or lost. They hung out in the lobby. Not only that, they restrained parents from stopping the killer themself.
In my eyes they didn't just show up and do nothing in the lobby. They actively aided the shooter that day.
Sorry, I went off on a tangent, because it still pisses me off. But yeah, I fully expected one day when twitter was still a source for news, to wake up one day, and see an active shooter scene being broadcast from inside a classroom.
