One drag queen did more to stop the gunman in Colorado than hundreds of cops could do in Texas. We should put one drag queen at every school, clearly kids would be safer.

Edit: Correction, I'm now reading that it was a trans woman not a drag queen. Still, an unarmed veteran and a trans woman did what 346 cops with a $4 million budget couldn't handle in Texas.

@beck don’t doubt that one drag queen per school would be safer… but the person who brought down the shooter was a vet at the club to support his daughter and her high school friend. That’s according to this story in the #washingtonpost https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11/21/clubq-shooter-stopped-army-veteran/ … he enlisted two others, including a drag queen, to help. All three saved lives.
