Yeah maybe so,  that's why I'm a leftist, not a liberal.

About 300 of them showed up at Uvalde to stand around and do nothing
while the gunman took his time killing everyone, I don't see much
evidence that if 400 or a thousand had showed up the outcome would've
been much different.

Policing is one of the few industries that gets more money the worse it

 So.... would you de-fund your local police?

Not the right response - they need to spend more money on hiring better people and training them to perform more expertly.
Politicians aren't great at working out how to do this, and prefer to go for quantity - which the voters can see - over quality, which is harder to exhibit in places where lots of voters can see it.
