Reacting to the LA County Sheriff Active Shooter Training Video

• 59:03Tim opens by noting active shooter events are just part of American life now, not necessarily something to view negatively.
• 59:18The LA County Sheriff's 2015 active shooter training video has been circulating on Twitter and now plays at retail jobs like Sears and Walmart.
• 59:54Tim jokes that if you don't like armed employees shooting coworkers mid-shift, move to Mexico City.
• 1:01:06A supervisor tells an employee "we're going to have to let you go" right before he shoots her—Tim imagines the shooter's frustration at being denied the job.
• 1:02:00Tim notes the weird dialogue written between active shooter scenes, like one actor asking another if she's losing sleep, then a woman saying "Lizards live in tanks."
• 1:02:38When the video finally gets to survival advice, Tim interrupts: stop telling us the backstory and explain how to actually survive.
• 1:03:45Tim reacts to the 911 dispatcher casually handling another mall shooting, saying it's just America now.
• 1:05:01The production quality of the training video is so high it looks like John Wick, which Tim finds absurd.
• 1:05:29Tim appreciates that the video doesn't pretend police will help—only that they're minutes away—though he notes they should add that cops may never even enter the building.
• 1:07:00A Black actress smiles flirtatiously when someone announces there's an active shooter, a moment the director apparently never corrected.
• 1:09:37When police finally arrive 15 minutes later, Tim comments on how overweight the officers are in the training video.
