A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

More balls than the entire Uvalde police department.
A single ball has more balls than the entire uvalde police dept.
My neutered dog has more balls than the entire Uvalde police department.
You should really stop letting him bring them home from the dog park. They're supposed to be for everyone, you know.
Not defending those guys, but it was a clusterfuck of Biblical proportions more than a lack of courage or will. PBS has an awesome documentary on it. I can't watch it twice.
I appreciate a bureaucratic fuck up as much as the next guy, but when the hard math is 300 armed dudes outside and 1 armed dude shooting kids in a school for the entire runtime of Shrek, I have no benefit of the doubt left to give. Maybe if it was a dog with a gun they would've shot it 30 seconds after arriving on scene.
I don't need a documentary to tell me what I saw. I remember a cop in the hallway, so scared to peek around the corner, I'm honestly surprised he didn't pee his pants. The only time he ever dared to peek around the corner, and down the hall to where the guy was still killing little kids one by one, was when another guy peeked around the corner, and he'd hide behind the other guy. After that disgusting display of cowardice, I'm sure nobody he knows will ever look at him the same again.
The only performance I've ever seen that was as cowardly was the Parkland cop who not only stayed outside and listened to all those students get murdered, but when other cops showed up, he told them not to go in either.
Well, certainly not "more than a lack of courage or will", more like "in addition to a lack of courage or will". Otherwise someone would have had the courage and the will, regardless of clusterfuck proportion.
There was one mom who had the "courage & will" to go get her daughter, and the cops threatened to arrest her. Can't have citizens being braver than the ENTIRE police force.
I don't understand why that town didn't demand that the entire police force be fired, from the Police Chief all the way down. The next force would them know what is expected of them, since the first one didn't umderstand that protecting the children is their highest priority.
If I were one of them I think my communication gear would malfunction and I wouldn't get the orders to do nothing, if that is what happened.
I saw that documentary and it in no way rationalizes or redeems the police force at Uvalde
