In 2022, the U.S. saw over 600 mass shootings—including 46 at schools—with the Robb Elementary tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, claiming 21 lives. 🕊️ Former NYPD officer Gary Moskowitz sat down with CGTN to shed light on a chilling reality: ‘Cops aren’t trained to handle today’s crises.’ 🔍
Moskowitz, a tactics coach, slammed the lack of nationwide standards in police training, calling it a ‘roll-of-the-dice system’ for communities. 🎲 ‘Imagine relying on outdated playbooks for a game that’s changed,’ he said, comparing current protocols to ‘using a flip phone in 2023.’ 📱
His solution? A unified federal training framework to boost law enforcement readiness. 💡 But critics argue funding and political hurdles could stall progress. With schools becoming battlegrounds, the clock’s ticking. ⏳
‘This isn’t just about guns,’ Moskowitz added. ‘It’s about rethinking how we protect our kids.’ 🧒👮♂️ Will his call spark action—or fade like yesterday’s headlines? 🔥
