Better mental health care, better education, more strict gun laws. It took 30 seconds to think of solutions other than a surveillance state all of which also are less susceptible to abuse and misuse by single individuals with access to a wide ranging surveillance system.
Most mass shooters have not at all been concerned about getting caught, just doing as much damage as possible before getting killed it caught. Unless the idea is to start with "pre-crime" levels of surveillance, in which case big oof.

Here you are again, complaining about Seattle, like you always do. I'm not surprised to see this take coming from someone who once said WA deserved ICE for implementing gun control.

Over 300 Uvalde cops wouldn't even approach that mass shooter and you think cameras are going to help?
