No. It was Police acting exactly how one would expect. Trying to seem brave and good but in reality the second comes to actually upholding their commitment to protect civilians (vulnerable civilians especially) even if means laying down their life. They chose to do what many before had done. It was only when there was finally outrage at the fact they tried to negotiate with a prior school shooter that they even started to go in fast the few shootings in the last few years. Was never going to last because acting for PR reasons only isn't sustainable.
S.S. Notice how public safety chief McCraw casually mentioned "I wasn't there." (2:45). And goes on attempting to explain, oh, I don't know, ...how hard it was for the cops that WERE THERE. This is galling. Who in the BLEEP was in charge. Not McCraw....ostensibly because?...He wasn't THERE? Who are these people?
Not to mention the cops outside busy handcuffing the parents trying to save their children. That entire department should be fired and criminally charged
That's because you have a heart....unlike Governor Abbott, Ted Cruz and so on. Those crying screaming parents mean nothing to them. Only their own careers and lining their own pockets mean anything to them. As long as their kids aren't getting shot they don't lose a minute of sleep.
I shed tears every time I see these videos of the parents! As a father I can not imagine what they went through! Law enforcement in a whole needs to be redone! We do need police but there should be different agencies such as community patrols!
Drew. There’s a whole lot of outrage out there ! With so much to be outraged about. Stay strong . The eye of Sauron will direct sheep mob to next hate target .
How are they supposed to get to an unknown active shooter with parents running around in the building!!! Who is then the shooter? If the shooter throws his gun down and calms to be a relative of one of the kids? If the police let them in and they all get killed? Has the active shooter got pipe bombs? Grenades? You cant just let anyone and that includes trained officers to run blind into a building.
The tough talkin’, gun totin’, totally Red, NRA singin’, #2 praisin’, gun guys from Texas… backed down. Watch them clamor for, wait for it: more guns. They’re all loonies.
We need the resignation of all 19 police officers that were standing in the hallway immediately. Never forget the cowardness of Uvalde Texas Police Department.
Im sorry for the American innocent people and children die for no reason you guys in the United States afto to put a stop. Stand up for life's the people in government simple and plain
I felt like I was on the ground with her, my child in that killing field, NO ONE going in, my child is in there, the ONLY thing I want is to save my child.
Mind boggling, children being butchered, police waiting outside for reinforcements, parents being prevented from going in to try and safe their children. What’s really disgusting is the lies of the authorities afterwards, sick to my stomach!

What makes me mad is the fact that the police wouldn't let parents in but went in to save their own children. So they plucked their children out and left other people's babies? How can they live with themselves 😟
What an ignorant comment. There was a senior police officer who was in charge of telling those police officers what to do. That's who is culpable not those following orders.
@@smc130 You don't know what they did or did not hear. Also they have to listen to orders so the person who told them to wait is the person who's culpable.
And when the shock wears off , and their darkest days in all this begin , they will HATE THE NRA AND the POLITICIANS WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE SHOOTER TO GET HIS ASSAULT WEAPONS !
All I can say is that those police officers who were there were cowards, why wait, kids were being shot, phone calls from inside the school asking for the police to come and rescue them, 19 kids and two adults paid with their lives because the police chief who had no experience in that type of situation

Yep. T G it wasn't hundreds massacred (like in Las Vegas) at that country concert (plz fact chk my figures there...I'm 2 nauseous to do it myself) Maybe it was 60? I'm puking.
This is what you get when you campaign for "Defund the Police". Any cops that may have been good at their jobs left and now you have bottom of the barrel cops that just want to collect a paycheck. Congrats. You did it.
This hits different, and then a troll has the nerve to make a comment because of the assault weapons, he said we must want to be unarmed like Ukrainian s !!!!!! This is America, and this can’t happen again.
And for the Morons that say, give the teachers guns. Even if they had one this young man had an Assault weapon. No match to a Gun. Teachers are there to teach, not engage in Combat.
I’m reminded of the buffalo grocery store employee who called 911 whilst the massacre there was taking place and the dispatcher told her to stop whispering then hung up on her.
even though she wasn't getting paid her worth and her profession was being attacked by politicians. she still did it. She still tried to protect those babies. It ain't right.

Remember, you can't inherit guts! You also can't install courage. You either have it or you don't. In other words can you showed your yellow streak. 🧐🙏
The reason why is because those parents didn't have any guns, and the shooter inside had a AR-15, that's really disgusting, would think that those officers standing in the hallway had more common sense and a little dignity to break into that classroom, wow, I guess that door was impregnable and the only way you could get into that classroom was to use a key, it just makes no sense to me, I hope both of those police chiefs are fired and charges are brought up against those two as for those officers just standing around outside as well as those 19 officers waiting in the hall way.
If I am supposed to give police respect because they put their lives at risk, then I expect them to dang well risk their lives to save children from being murdered. Every one of those officers should turn in their badges and resign in disgrace.
@@alexgibb8406 How about we train them to defend the people they are supposed to serve instead of themselves?? Or we can get rid of the guns. That option is way better...
No argument. We also might want to look at the main point of the piece, which is - why allow military grade weapons to be bought by civilians to be used in mass shootings? Maybe grenade launchers should be available too?
Their job was to contain and secure the area. You do not breach a door unless you know what is going on inside the room or you have a tactical advantage in the situation. I'm sorry that you think the police are the evil people in this situation and that in your ignorance you likely think that if you had been there you would have kicked in the door and taken the guy out when the truth is likely the opposite. I'm more sorry that all it took was three days for the media to shift from focusing on the real issue, ease of access to weapons, and a culture that believes 19 children are acceptable losses just so long as a few people can own guns that have no place in sociaty. I'm so glad you've all found a villain you can rally together against.
OMG MAY! I couldn't stand to watch & hear & feel her wailing, helpless, hopeless grief. Mental health problems? She will have that as well as emotional health probs the rest of her life!
The whole world I’ll say. There are kids, women and senior citizens currently dying in Ukraine because of one evil man barricaded in a luxurious bunker while the UN and world politicians and religious leaders are waiting for the door key to arrive to take action. That and the Uvalde event are beyond comprehension. Pure evil!
Blunder, no a Blunder is stepping on your sunglasses. This was incompetence, but mark my words none of these cops will truly, and I mean truly be held responsible. Maybe the cops will get the judge that cried for that female cop who mistakes her gun for her Tazer😖🥺🤮
They won't be held responsible simply because the Supreme Court ruled years ago that cops are required to put their life on the line for anyone. The fact that people still expect that is laughable. Cops only shoot when the other party is unarmed. So, the SCOTUS ruling, combined with sovereign immunity guarantees no one will be held responsible for this entire situation. Fabulous country, right?

The security guard/ retired police officer, at the TOPS supermarket in Buffalo and that doctor who sacrificed his life, to stop a gunman inside his church in California, and those two teachers in that classroom in Uvalde, Texas, who died trying to protect their kids from that gunman, had more courage than all those police officers, who stood outside the classroom, hearing the perpetrator shooting children.
I'm noticing a trend though. A few officers actually get held accountable for not being able to tell the difference between a cell phone... or a pack of cigarettes... or an individuals neck versus an approved point of contact to hold them in place, and suddenly police are very willing to let people die to justify why they need a bigger budget. And the media seems to be unwitting accomplices....
You said it! There is no way they thought the shooter was simply barricaded in that room. There were still sounds of gunfire & children calling for help! The police couldn't hear the gunfire?
I have sent letters to him demanding him and the LT gov to step down and to Paxton to investigate them both. I know it will never happen, but I like to hope. Dallas, TX
Governor Abbott is amazing!!! One of the best governors ever. This is a failure of the police department. Period! This is why citizens should be arming themselves against violence. The greatest amount of violent crime happens in cities with the strictest gun laws. Why did it take 12 minutes for the police to respond after this lumatic ditched the car? He basically advertised his plan on social media and his grandmother called 911. Yet, no one stopped him. And the police did nothing at all to stop this….even when so far as to tackle parents who tried to rescue the children…..some of whom were probably armed and could have stopped this. Governor Abbott himself would have likely rushed the school. This isnt about him….it’s about police failures
What is truly unreal is the “big, strong, massive, city budget guzzling” military vehicle and those “big, strong, massive “ police failed these babies.

Uvalde's spends 40% of annual budget on cops! 9 person SWAT team who were "unavailable" at the time...They're not rich town. Wasting 40% each year on cops .Sickening...
They don't get enough training to deal with real criminals... considering that you apparently need more training to become a US plumber than to become a US cop
The decision was made to WAIT for a tactical team to “BREACH” the door??? Did the 18 year old gunman call ANYONE to help him “BREACH” the door??? He just waltzed IN!!!
The cops have guns and bigger guns in their cars, but they wanted other cops with slightly bigger guns to show up to fight a kid. I guess the concept of a gun saving you but only if its loaded and only if its near you and ONLY if you're in the right place at the right time fits every situation. So then Guns really are the problem.
The door was probably unlocked when the P.O.S arrived and he locked the door behind him. School locks and doors are high grade, built to last for a generation. You can't easily kick in a typical school door. Shooting the lock would take a couple of shots, then kick the door. By then the shooter is blasting away through the door. The doors are strong but not bullet-proof. No-win scenario for the police without body armour or shields and fully automatic weapons with large magazines. I've been in construction for forty years, built many schools. Never once was there a design consideration for active shooters. But then, I live in Canada, we don't worship guns. We see what gun love has done to the US and we don't want that here. But just today a man in Toronto was shot to death by police for walking near a school with a rifle. Turned out to be a pellet gun.
@@livinginvancouverbc2247 if they break into black and brown folks homes they couldve easily gotten into that school. ive worked for the school county a decade, and you need a pair of keys to lock those doors. and lock the officer speaking in the interview said it was their JOB to go right into that school 1 cop or 20 cops doesnt matter!
Tragic is when something is outside human control. This is a total disaster. Police have waited outside when a eighteen year old is murdering children. Most societies think it is the police's job to intervene immediately
The way to tell if something is precious to you is how hard and how far you are willing to fight for it. The American public has proven that their guns and the right to bear arms is far more precious than the lives of people and especially our children. If that were not the truth we would have fought for gun laws that would have resolved this issue instead of finding reasons, excuses give explanations as to why we and how we should keep our guns. People have said that this Country has always been a Country to bear arms and that is true. Our forefathers wrote it in the Constitution with not one reference in the Constitution about children, women or minorities. Why??? Because they were considered to not be considered. They were expendable. Today it's our children who have to fight for themselves to be recognized. Take the Parkland shooting where students who became activist were mock, belittled and shamed by pro gun activist for their desire to have something done about gun violence. It is ridiculous that we are in our 27th school gun shooting in 2022 and we are only in our 5th month of this year. And to act like our children ( people in general) are precious is a real joke because it should have only taken 1 school shooting to have turned things around. But the precious gun and the rights of guns is far more important than a human life.
19 cops vs one 18 year old...19 cops waited around outside,they roughed up a parent that insisted they act while the murder of children continued within earshot ..literally, earshot.
There is no amount of training that can prepare a cop for this. It’s just not possible. Yet they still vomit the nonsense of a good guy with a gun. Maybe seal team six could have stoped this , but no way a bunch of dumb deputies with minimal training. Also, cowardice.
I have a 10 year old daughter, her school is literally within earshot of our home and I've been having that exact nightmare, for days. I can't fathom the pain and fear. Awful.
@@AmFlora I would recommend having a talk with your child’s school regarding safety, and when’s the last time they’ve been training for at Rajiv event like this.
Who would have thought the best argument for "defund the police" would come from Texas law enforcement?. All that expensive gear and training was waisted on them.
Fine but pick only one option. Either fund better police or stfu about banning guns. And oh btw, this is a border town so lest you forget Dummycrats voted in a crisis that is tying up good law enforcement even from small towns.
@@taxtherich68 .... And those children are exactly WHY we MUST vote OUT every single gun loving, NRA hugging, fraud interpreting of the 2nd Amendment politician! The ball is in the voter's court. We vote with those children, and ALL other innocents mass murdered with weapons of war, in our hearts!
And sadly in Texas their nightmares will be legitimized and their fears ignored by all the adults around them glorifying that killing thing that was making all that noise, causing all that blood pain and screaming and killing all their friends
Yeah. If they have any self respect they will do that or at least commit suicide. Cause at this point suicide is actually more honorable than their lack of action.
That will not reduce Military gear from the street or make the police well equipped when on duty. Wrong wrong approach. There has to be one superior side. Think hard about what you just watched. Think as a parent of one of the kids, as a police on the scene and as a gun lobbyist.
@@ursamajor6347 If he had integrity he would be under the bus together with his junior staff and collegues, whom he threw there. If he had integrity he would not wave off questions with an "in hindsight"-comment - *everything* the cops investigate and punish the people for is "in hindsight". If integrity or even the truth was their first concern it wouldn't take more than a week to get a credible timeline - from those that demand respect and credibility from us.
@@ursamajor6347 If the guy is there or not is irrelevant. As a leader he is responsible for his employees and their actions. At least that's what leaders say when explaining why they deserve the big bux. The police had a timeline ready within hours after the incident, yet it took days to present it? You are not being upfront when the timeline changes over several days, where a school officer are being shot at one day, for then telling us there were no school officer there at all the next day. To come out and admit what everyone knows; kids alone in a room while a gunman is killing off one by one for an hour or so, while the police are fighting back their parents, is nothing but a scandalous failure, should be easy. It shouldn't be considered the right thing to do, or rewarded, it should be expected. One reason this happened at all is a culture within the police where they no longer are willing to risk their own lives, something that has evolved within the service in many countries. This is a culture contradictory to the law, and as a leader he should have to take the responsibility for that. The cops who were there should be dismissed for cowardice and charged.
@@ursamajor6347 This is politics, the only way he has a chance to keep his job is to claim no responsibility, while blaming his own men. That is what he has done - repeatedly, by saying so directly and by saying he wasn't there. Pure and simple. If you don't understand that, you have some growing up to do - not to mention some manners to learn. The lack of knowledge is no excuse for acting like a fool, it just magnifies it. Now, this very subject has been my job for the last 30 years, so if you have any questions on the matter let me know. Your contribution however is of no value and so not wanted or needed.
It's funny that the police didn't want to risk their lives even though that's what they signed up for. The unarmed Mothers were begging to be let in to school, & teachers where shielding children with their own bodies.
This would have been much easier if the active shooter does not have an Assault Weapons. This is just normal police, they are people, not SWAT team. Of course they are afraid of dying, same as most "good guys with guns" folk. it's easy to talk. The underlying reason is the ease of access to assault weapon and gun culture making it difficult for normal police to do the job. When you think about police, do not think that any of them are main character in the movie. They do not get paid that much.

@@terryquinn7765 What you voted for? Republicans refuse to pass any kind of gun safety laws. How do you know if she voted for a republican? This is Texas, so it would be mostly republican.
I bet you this is the same kind of cops that will pull over a busload of girls to search through their personal items, for no other reason, than their skin colour.
I think race factored into to this as well. Let's see them tell a group of white parents, "we'll wait awhile". And what was up with the DNA? I've never heard of them doing that before. I am so disgusted! Southern white women here, FYI.
I keep looking at those babies pictures and look at my grand kids playing running happy just been a kid so sorry for the pain this parnts are going through all my prayers for all of them
This is what you get when you campaign for "Defund the Police". Any cops that may have been good at their jobs left and now you have bottom of the barrel cops that just want to collect a paycheck. Congrats. You did it.
"it could have been worse", says Governor Gregg Abbott. Tell that to the 19 mothers and fathers who can no longer laugh with their children, hug them with love, comfort them when they are sad...and instead are planning funerals. I don't believe it could be much worse for them.
I just can't believe Gov. Abbott said those words, we saved a lot of kids that day, I can't wait when Gov. Abbott has a press conference and he has to look into the eyes of those parents whose kids were killed senselessly by a teenager who had no right purchasing a AR-15, what excuse will he come up with
No, tell him "It could have been better by PREVENTING it in the 1st place!" BTW As long as the NRA is lining the pockets of these elected officials we won't see any change on gun control. Vote those jack*sses OUT OF OFFICE!
They have to follow orders it's not fair to say that all police officers are cowards. The person who told them to stand down as the one who's responsible. This isn't the Wild Wild West where you get to do whatever you want.

Exactly. Unarmed black man with a bit of weed? They'd be all over him. Teenager murdering innocent children, they stand around twiddling their thumbs. Absolute cowards.
Oh, please... the Police were not outgunned. They have the SAME weapons as that 18 year old shooter. The same calibre and muzzle velocity. The same body armour. What they lacked was guts.
I find this hard to wrap my head around. " Little children are slowly murdered". " Police outgunned" . NRA then turns up in Texas and hold their convention and Governor Greg Abbott finds time to do a political speech to the NRA while those murdered babies have not even been laid to rest yet. Despicable
Now you know the extent of Abbott's concern for his fellow Texans. Vote the SOB out! He's proven that he can't be trusted. He and his Republican pals are bad for Texas, especially minority Texans and their children.
I agree with you but I the way I'm understanding that nra thing had been scheduled and the various entertainment, the dignified thing to do would have been to either cancel your appointment to appear or cancel it completely we see just how much dignity and decency there honestly is by the all those that were in attendance physically or other wise, and for what to pat each other on the back, purchase things that feed into the stereotype of a "super-hero" myth all are only human, deserving of decency, and respect no matter who you are, when you have a job to do that others have been lead to believe is to protect and serve, then do just that.
Gotta make sure that $$$ keeps flowing in. Republicans make money from fear and now make it very clear that the blood of children is worth the checks as well. Glad I switched parties after Trump. Wish I had switched sooner.
As long as cops can swagger up to a family in a car that was breaking the speed limit, and demand total cooperation, they're pretty brave. For some of them, put them against a violent criminal, not so much. To the police: Some of your own profession are ruining your reputation, and yet too many of you still defend them. This has gone on too long.
Cop. See this holster. It's represents your life in my hand. I will defend myself from you, or least that's what I'll write in the report. Any other situation that ain't a car accident. 😭😭😭 COWARDS!
Why are ppl so hesitant to say what's staring them in the face? THOSE MEN WERE COWARDS! While children were being murdered, those COWARDS stood there and did nothing. We all know it.
Well, they did do something. They handcuffed hysterical parents who were imploring them to get in there and save their children, or let them go instead.
Amen! I agree and concur! All my posted comments mention these officers cowardous,cowardly inept inaction and duly warrant the repercussions that all officials involved from the top down deserve!
The Police now will not risk there lives because this shooters are so well armed ..........even the police will not go in ...............until they no for certain they can take down the shooter................. DISGUSTING!!!!! Greg Abbott ..............you are DISGUSTING!!!!! Total liar!! Greg Abbott you do NOT deserve to be the Governor of TEXAS!!! Time to step down!!!
I remember as a WILDLAND firefighter, my captain was adamant that we were there to save people lives, first and foremost. We stayed behind in the Angora fire to be sure the entire area was evacuated. Five young men willing to risk their lives to help our fellow humans. We were just firefighters, there was no requirement to do what we did. But something about the uniform and responsibility of the position made it seem obvious that's what we should do. People keep trying to defend them, but if there's nothing in you instinctively that wants to help. Go manage an autozone.
I respect firefighters so much That was my thought after hearing all these reports that the police didn't want to go in and help these poor kids.... I thought to myself, I've seen firefighters with balls of steel not hesitate to put their lives on the line to save people they never met.... Thank you for your serving our communities, not all people have courage like you guys do The police departments in America need to take notes from the fire departments that actually serve and protect Obviously there are cops that fulfill their duty, but I've had bad experiences with police that fail their oath
Last I heard the justice department is investigating so I'm not sure what goes on after that what a job to have there especially if your a parent, know someone whose been a victim of gun violence, or any other type of violence.
Yep. and it's true in every police manual all around the world. Look at the 2 cops on patrol that night who entered the Bataclan first in paris. 9mm against terrosit with AK47. but they got in. And shoot one. They did not wait any order or any swat team to arrive. They did what they are taught to do in case of "active shooting". You get in, and you try to take the guy down or isolate him. If you die ? well, bad luck.
So 19 officers felt outgunned by ONE shooter? What did he have, a couple of WMD's? I would rather see a dozen cops killed (in the line of duty) than ONE elementary school age child.
Throughout my training during and after the academy, we were told to never ever wait for the SWAT team to show up. If we heard shots being fired, we are to go in and engage and eliminate the shooter. We received extensive training in active shooter responses and I can say that I mentally prepared myself for when that would happen. As a campus police officer I thank God no one ever entered any school sites whether high school, middle school or elementary and attempted to harm any of the kids who should be safe, but whenever I spoke to the other officers I worked with, we made it clear to each other that we're going to go in and not wait and if one of us gets shot then so be it, that's what we signed up for. To put it plain and simple, I will never ever betray my oath to protect and serve. That key phrase is protect.
Thank you, sir. But I'll believe it when I see it. Your fellow LEOs are not as trustworthy as you say that you are. I hope you never have to prove your words.
Same here in france. Active shooting : you do not wait any ordrer or any special unit. You warn as quick as possible your superior of the situation and you go in, in order to either neutralize the guy or isolate him until othger guys come to help. yeah, you might die in the process. Active shooting is way different than hostage situation. Totally different.
I can't even listen to this anymore, I'm so angry at the cops who stood out doing nothing and the morons that think it's OK for citizens (and 18 year olds at that!) to have arsenals big enough to frighten an entire police force into cowardice. An absolute disgrace.
Cops are ONLY tough when they want to escalate a situation or violate someone’s rights. Most pigs are cowards just like this whole department disgusting and unacceptable.
Remember what they always say?, "The solution to stopping a Bad Guy with a gun is a Good Guy with a gun". Well, we can now, once and for all, throw that one out with all the rest of the garbage that the NRA and GOP creates out of whole cloth! Whatever happened to, "To Serve and Protect"? There were NO heroes among the White Hats of the 'Manly Texas' image of heroism they fall over themselves to portray. They may as well not even try to keep up that appearance anymore, as they would just beclown themselves. It's all just been a Big Lie you were told, and called anyone Scum for not believing it.
We need to remove the obstructions to the rational world we want, we need, and our children deserved, the one envisioned by those who designed this country. Let’s start by demanding change, educating those who do not understand the gravity of the current situation, and voting in such unprecedented numbers that even by cheating the obstructionists cannot win.
**How many times are people going to do the "my condolences" claptrap? Let's get a grip, we have a huge EASY GUNS problem in our country and one political party is mostly responsible for it.
Cowards. Each and every one of them. The mother who was wrongly handcuffed at one point, who then rushed in without a gun, a ballistic vest, or a helmet is a hero. Full stop.
They were not outgunned. I saw all those sheriff deputies with body armor and long guns. Outgunned in this situation is a false narrative. They simply chose not to act.
That's right. Had these cowards gone in as a group, armed, with body armor on, they could have stopped the shooter without any more loss of life. "TO SERVE AND PROTECT" the police motto is now a sick, meaningless lie.
We need police to protect their communities from violence, not police us for minor violations! Recreate the police to be our protectors not our jailers!!!
I can't even begin to imagine how horrifying all of this was for those kids. The parents too. Having to wait feet away from your child in danger, not being able to help and no one helping them. Just unreal.
And the GQP think that if they arm 'good people', then noone dies, here you have 19 armed police officers, and nothing happens, yeah the GQP has all the smart ideas, definitely a party you should vote for 🤦
It is also unreal that people are allowed to legally buy guns that force DNA having to be done because an identification of the poor children could not otherwise be done.
How could police tell children to shout out help when that monster was still killing them, this was absolute negligence, that little girl trusted that cop and is now dead, my heart goes out to every parent and their families affected by this horror.🇬🇧
So the police told the kids to yell help without knowing the full assessment of the situation in the class and caused one kid to lose their life because it made the kid identifiable to the shooter! The policeman that told the kids to yell help should be held accountable and face murder charges.
He's livid about how this impacts him. He wasn't livid when he was causing supply chain issues or backing unfair legislation. I'm not sure he knows what livid means. I hope he finds out in November.
If he finds out in November, that means Texas will have elected the other guy that published stories online involving his fantasies about mowing children down with his car. These are the choices we have.
@@sjstone.7989 the guy running for the blue team published stories online involving his fantasies of mowing down children with his car. The irony of him using a photo op at this press conference.... So yeah these are our choices. Why do you ask? Because Democrats intentionally voted for the worst guy on the red ticket to stack the cards. Yup that's what we've come to. Thanks Democrats. Maybe Blue should vet their own people better and worry less about the other team.
This is crazy!!! What these children went through is absolutely horrifying! Now there are adults worried about the words they spread!!! People love your kids because now we can’t take them to school without having to worry!!! My prayers and condolences go out to all the families!!!

But that would be too risk for those cowards at the best plus dirty liers scared dog with tails in its legs!
i hate to say it (and those kids would never be so awful to do it) but if they had described the active shooter as black, i'm sure those police wouldn't have hesitated for a minute
Heads need to roll for this amount of utter negligence. Abbott needs to fire the heads of these law enforcement departments and then Texas needs to fire Abbott in November.
Almost all the mass shooting take olace very close to 1° & 2° narcotics transportation highways. Uvalde was a mjor transportation hub. Think ppl. Think. Who is in charge if those highways? .
I wonder, what would be there response if this happened to kids where their children attend???? Are these children just important if not more???? They want us to treat this as a normality, the usual, this is what it is but we can’t let these people dictate who lives or dies !!!!!!!!!! GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OFFICE NOW!!!!!!!!

Imagine the feeling of abandonment those children must have been experiencing in their last minutes of life on earth. Their classmates dead and dying around them, frantically calling 911 to beg for rescue, trying to play dead, while police right outside the door simply DECLINE to rescue them, and stand around and wait for a key. Inhuman. They abandoned those children and are complicit in their murders. Yes, obviously the commanding officer is most at fault, but every officer who was “just following orders” is also complicit. History doesn’t look well on the “good Germans” and neither should we. Those kids were willfully abandoned and left to die. The cops were accomplices to the gunman.
Were you one of the geniuses throwing around terms like "Defund the Police"? Well this is what you get. Any cops that may have been good at their jobs left and now you have bottom of the barrel cops that just want to collect a paycheck. Congrats. You did it.
@@freakbiker That's not what the defunding movement actually wants. The actual movement was to take the often, bloated, cash flows of some of the departments with the largest budgets and put them towards creating local agencies that are specialized in dealing with things like mental health and DV cases. The idea being that if they can route "relatively" minor 911 calls that don't require an armed response to that agency, that'll free up resources and time for things like training and more serious calls. While, at the same time, being able to treat and deal with those situations where having an armed individual can escalate the situation before there's even an interaction. Some of these ideas were being tossed around when swatting was more popular and were not initially meant to completely defund cops.
@@freakbiker you are arguing in bad faith… And you know it. 40% of that city’s budget goes to the police department. Can it be spent better somewhere else? 🤔
The children were unrecognizable. They had to use DNA to IDENTIFY the children. One father said that they wouldn't let him see his child because the wounds were so bad. This is sick.
"Outgunned" is a cowards excuse, particularly with the hardware that police have access to, and in TEXAS? Get better cops, get better policy. All of the parents outside would have been better off with guns and allowed to rescue their own kids. What has become of the MEN in our government? Aside from the military, our public officials are castrated cowards.
I agree but the only person who is going to be disciplined is the parent who jumped over a fence and ran into the school to find her kids and bring them out. Since she disobeyed the police she will probably get major jail time. In fact if the shooter had lived he would probably gotten less jail time for killing 21 people than parents like the one who the police knocked to the ground for interfering in a police procedure of standing around and doing nothing. He will get a lot more jail time than the shooter would have.
Dayna. We are outraged. And let’s not forget our outrage for the Russians invading Ukraine. Let’s be sure to keep up the calling out for the heroism of Ukrainian people. Creating a demand for heroism is a worthy calling . As the image of victory fades .. let’s continue to praise Ukraine. The eye of Sauron will notify us of the sheep mobs next target to hate .

You people have watched too many movies. You don't blindly breach a door. They had no way of knowing what was on the other side. What if this person had taken a hostage and their actions got the hostage killed? What if he had rigged the door with something? I'm sorry to break this to you but Rambo and John McClane are characters of fiction and their tactics are not practical, safe, or effective. The police are trained during an active shooter situation to contain the area. They are not trained to kick in a door and start blasting because doing so is stupid. And the message to students is "Sorry kids, but as adults, we refuse to address gun violence because it is too hard and I'm too lazy to be bothered anyway. You're just gonna have to get used to this and accept that because of my inaction and unwillingness to do anything I've basically given the ok to someone to burst into your classroom and take you out. Sorry in advance but I really can't be bothered to do anything about guns, I'm too busy posting on TH-cam and Facebook about how bad the police are."
Most Politicians do not care, only care about getting re-elected and money and power. Concerning the Uvalde massacre of precious children in Texas. This is becoming more frequent. I see many becoming mad, sad or Politicians trying to take advantage or the situation, but very few good idea's being talked about or implemented. Here is my two cents. First off I believe strongly about the 2nd Admendment and no one is taking my gun in a society where they are defunding the Police and taking gang units out by the defunding who were getting guns off the street, zero bail, Soros funded DA's letting out criminals early, not charging them for many of their crimes, and changing laws like theft to $950 before it's a crime to detour. How is this working out? Plus we had lock downs and job losses because of covid and before that riots that burned down businesses, creating more homeless, money problems and mental health problems and more. BUT we need to do something to protect our precious innocent children. When I was young this type of thing was rare. Why? Less population was one and open borders do not help. Also we did not have radicals on the internet trying to radicalize our children then. This needs to be monitored and safeguards by the parents at a minimum or State. If the parents or those in charge see worrisome behavior the parents need to act on it, and not just think their child is that innocent 8 year old they used to have. This is really caring for the child and society. So hold the parents responsible if they can prove the Parent knew and did nothing with a fine and or misdemeanor. We also did not have China giving us a virus and the Government and rich taking advantage of the situation at our expense. Also have you noticed that many of the school shootings were done by like 18 to 20 year olds? Make it illegal to own guns if under 21 unless you are in the Military which is under guidance and discipline. How about 2 armed guards at schools with a metal detector and one entrance? Many are complaining about Texas gun laws, but from my studies, most of the States with the most liberal gun laws have the lowest crimes from guns. And when crime is up over 50% in many Democrat run cities, I will not give up my guns to defend myself, loved ones and the innocent. If one has been convicted of a violent crime whether 16 or 60, make it illegal for them to own a gun. At least they are giving serial numbers now to ghost guns which can be traced, or give them 90 days to register or a fine and if used in a crime without being registered triple the fine and add a misdemeanor. Find ways to make it harder for criminals, young gang members and mentally ill to get guns. If school teachers want to take the training, let them carry and protect. To me these seem practical and not emotional. I came up with several others, but many have brought them up before by others. Just my 2 cents.
Michael, You do realize the UPD has a majority of Hispanic police and two of them lost children in the shooting. All you are doing is spreading hate in the false flame that you are protesting it.👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👍
Yes and no. Yes, because the cops were ‘good guys with a gun’ but did not go in. No, because the people who talk about ‘good guys with a gun’ do not mean cops. They mean civilians, because they understand when there is a dangerous situation there is a chance the cops will NOT be there. This situation proves that. So, yes and no. Those who say yes see it as a reason why having guns to protect yourself is not going to help since these ‘good guys with a gun’ did not come through. Those who say no ironically see this as more reason why they should be armed, because the cops are useless and they themselves need to be the ‘good guy with the gun.’ And that is why both sides of the gun debate will never change
Let’s STOP calling these police “mistakes, blunders”. This was straight negligence and failure of all failures.
No. It was Police acting exactly how one would expect. Trying to seem brave and good but in reality the second comes to actually upholding their commitment to protect civilians (vulnerable civilians especially) even if means laying down their life. They chose to do what many before had done. It was only when there was finally outrage at the fact they tried to negotiate with a prior school shooter that they even started to go in fast the few shootings in the last few years. Was never going to last because acting for PR reasons only isn't sustainable.
The police policy seems to be "let the shooter run out of bullets then we go in"
Straight up lies they been telling us.
The cops were COWARDS.
S.S. Notice how public safety chief McCraw casually mentioned "I wasn't there." (2:45).
And goes on attempting to explain, oh, I don't know, ...how hard it was for the cops that WERE THERE.
This is galling.
Who in the BLEEP was in charge. Not McCraw....ostensibly because?...He wasn't THERE?
Who are these people?
Not to mention the cops outside busy handcuffing the parents trying to save their children. That entire department should be fired and criminally charged
It was worse than even that. They went in and made sure to get their own kids out, then refused entry to parents who wanted to do the same.
They waited until he ran out of ammo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only that, but they stopped the trained federal agents from going in too. They should be charged in some way.
How are they supposed to get to an unknown active shooter with parents running around in the building!!! Who is then the shooter? If the shooter throws his gun down and calms to be a relative of one of the kids? If the police let them in and they all get killed? Has the active shooter got pipe bombs? Grenades?

What an ignorant comment. There was a senior police officer who was in charge of telling those police officers what to do. That's who is culpable not those following orders.
@@smc130 You don't know what they did or did not hear. Also they have to listen to orders so the person who told them to wait is the person who's culpable.

The police spent more time and energy fighting the parents of the murdered children than fighting the shooter. It's beyond obscene.
Exactly
Maybe they should give their guns to the parents! And those vests wasted on them!!
Remember, you can't inherit guts! You also can't install courage. You either have it or you don't. In other words can you showed your yellow streak. 🧐🙏
The reason why is because those parents didn't have any guns, and the shooter inside had a AR-15, that's really disgusting, would think that those officers standing in the hallway had more common sense and a little dignity to break into that classroom, wow, I guess that door was impregnable and the only way you could get into that classroom was to use a key, it just makes no sense to me, I hope both of those police chiefs are fired and charges are brought up against those two as for those officers just standing around outside as well as those 19 officers waiting in the hall way.
They are better at handling soft targets. This is their specialty.
I’ve been to a baby’s funeral. One of the saddest things I’ve ever saw.
If I am supposed to give police respect because they put their lives at risk, then I expect them to dang well risk their lives to save children from being murdered. Every one of those officers should turn in their badges and resign in disgrace.

No argument. We also might want to look at the main point of the piece, which is - why allow military grade weapons to be bought by civilians to be used in mass shootings? Maybe grenade launchers should be available too?
Their job was to contain and secure the area. You do not breach a door unless you know what is going on inside the room or you have a tactical advantage in the situation. I'm sorry that you think the police are the evil people in this situation and that in your ignorance you likely think that if you had been there you would have kicked in the door and taken the guy out when the truth is likely the opposite. I'm more sorry that all it took was three days for the media to shift from focusing on the real issue, ease of access to weapons, and a culture that believes 19 children are acceptable losses just so long as a few people can own guns that have no place in sociaty. I'm so glad you've all found a villain you can rally together against.

They won't be held responsible simply because the Supreme Court ruled years ago that cops are required to put their life on the line for anyone. The fact that people still expect that is laughable. Cops only shoot when the other party is unarmed. So, the SCOTUS ruling, combined with sovereign immunity guarantees no one will be held responsible for this entire situation. Fabulous country, right?

“A crime is being committed and the cops are just standing there. WTF?!”
Occifer safety mate. Cowards more like it. 🇦🇺
tbf... they weren't just standing there... some of them were macing and handcuffing parents trying to save their children.
“Where is the suspect?”
“There is one in here killing us and several outside the door and in the streets detaining the citizens trying to help us”
They. Had to digest. Do. Nuts. Then. Waited. For. The pizza they ordered
"Quick! Send in the army!"
"Oh wait, the shooter is white."
"Everything is fine guys!"
The security guard/ retired police officer, at the TOPS supermarket in Buffalo and that doctor who sacrificed his life, to stop a gunman inside his church in California, and those two teachers in that classroom in Uvalde, Texas, who died trying to protect their kids from that gunman, had more courage than all those police officers, who stood outside the classroom, hearing the perpetrator shooting children.
This is the best comment I have read on this massacre.
💯Exactly 💯
Agreed now we know who are the bravest among us ☮️
I'm noticing a trend though. A few officers actually get held accountable for not being able to tell the difference between a cell phone... or a pack of cigarettes... or an individuals neck versus an approved point of contact to hold them in place, and suddenly police are very willing to let people die to justify why they need a bigger budget.
And the media seems to be unwitting accomplices....
You said it! There is no way they thought the shooter was simply barricaded in that room. There were still sounds of gunfire & children calling for help! The police couldn't hear the gunfire?
Keep it up MSNBC! Don't stop talking about this! Don't let this fade! America needs your voice to save ourselves!
As a resident of Austin, Texas, I ask that Gov. Abbott resign immediately.
INDEED ...
I have sent letters to him demanding him and the LT gov to step down and to Paxton to investigate them both. I know it will never happen, but I like to hope. Dallas, TX
Agree.
Get a petition going to recall him.
Governor Abbott is amazing!!! One of the best governors ever. This is a failure of the police department. Period! This is why citizens should be arming themselves against violence. The greatest amount of violent crime happens in cities with the strictest gun laws. Why did it take 12 minutes for the police to respond after this lumatic ditched the car? He basically advertised his plan on social media and his grandmother called 911. Yet, no one stopped him. And the police did nothing at all to stop this….even when so far as to tackle parents who tried to rescue the children…..some of whom were probably armed and could have stopped this. Governor Abbott himself would have likely rushed the school. This isnt about him….it’s about police failures
What is truly unreal is the “big, strong, massive, city budget guzzling” military vehicle and those “big, strong, massive “ police failed these babies.
The state of the United States is what failed these babies and all the children murdered over the years.
Those "police" shall be branded the ultimate in evil cowards.
Little beautiful babies. 😔
Texas Police in there SHOULD resign! *All police have bullet proof armor, required and given, and these so-called Texas Police head saying why it took 90-minutes to go in, saying during news conference, "we needed more equipment, body amor, special equipment..." After I have listened the commonsense defying sickening loads of bul shets new conference with reporters, I almost fell off from the chair!" All the regular training of shootings paid for my police department, they have guns, refiles, even shot gun, best in close quarter combat, and what the miserable imbecile saying translated to them wanted, tank, APC for gun man only armed with pistole and rifle! Oh, my my, what kind of police, correction, despicable shameless cowards they are! I would immediately go into the school and engaging in combat since I have body amor, pretending I am a police officer, and side arm and rifle or shot gun is even batter, and engaging in battle. But that would be too risk for those cowards at the best plus dirty liers scared dog with tails in its legs!
Uvalde's spends 40% of annual budget on cops! 9 person SWAT team who were "unavailable" at the time...They're not rich town. Wasting 40% each year on cops .Sickening...
So much for the BS “good people with guns, stop bad people with guns” belief. These guys were TRAINED and did NOTHING.
Then how was the killer stopped?
@@RichardMiller-tq6ut by waiting 45 mins
They don't get enough training to deal with real criminals... considering that you apparently need more training to become a US plumber than to become a US cop
"Good guy" with a gun didn't work in Buffalo either.
Because he was holding 20 kids hostage
I'm ticked, my prayers go out to these family's , I'll close by praying for humanity and pray for the hatred to subside.🙏
The decision was made to WAIT for a tactical team to “BREACH” the door??? Did the 18 year old gunman call ANYONE to help him “BREACH” the door??? He just waltzed IN!!!
The cops have guns and bigger guns in their cars, but they wanted other cops with slightly bigger guns to show up to fight a kid. I guess the concept of a gun saving you but only if its loaded and only if its near you and ONLY if you're in the right place at the right time fits every situation. So then Guns really are the problem.
The cops and governor in that state are all cowards! All of them need to be held accountable for this tragedy, but we all know that will not happen!
Lol if the door was unlocked and not blocked.
Wedged open.
The door was probably unlocked when the P.O.S arrived and he locked the door behind him. School locks and doors are high grade, built to last for a generation. You can't easily kick in a typical school door. Shooting the lock would take a couple of shots, then kick the door. By then the shooter is blasting away through the door. The doors are strong but not bullet-proof. No-win scenario for the police without body armour or shields and fully automatic weapons with large magazines.
I've been in construction for forty years, built many schools. Never once was there a design consideration for active shooters. But then, I live in Canada, we don't worship guns. We see what gun love has done to the US and we don't want that here. But just today a man in Toronto was shot to death by police for walking near a school with a rifle. Turned out to be a pellet gun.
@@livinginvancouverbc2247 if they break into black and brown folks homes they couldve easily gotten into that school. ive worked for the school county a decade, and you need a pair of keys to lock those doors. and lock the officer speaking in the interview said it was their JOB to go right into that school 1 cop or 20 cops doesnt matter!
Let this day be known as the day those Texas authorities sworn “To Protect and to Serve” did neither.
Cowards of the country
Instead of Above and beyond they showed how low they could go!!! It's sickening!!!
They protected themselves and served their own interests.
Our "heroes" would rather go for the low hanging fruit of illegal aliens and drug offenders!
Texas tough until bravery is is required. Abbottism
Tragic. Condolences to the families. I honestly believe that these senators will only do something when they are directly affected from this madness 😓
Tragic is when something is outside human control. This is a total disaster. Police have waited outside when a eighteen year old is murdering children. Most societies think it is the police's job to intervene immediately
NRA has bought them same reason 25 years ago they dropped ar15 ban!
I really think we all need to make that happen
Cops prevented good guys with guns (parents) from stopping the killer. On purpose. On video.
Could not agree any more.
The way to tell if something is precious to you is how hard and how far you are willing to fight for it. The American public has proven that their guns and the right to bear arms is far more precious than the lives of people and especially our children. If that were not the truth we would have fought for gun laws that would have resolved this issue instead of finding reasons, excuses give explanations as to why we and how we should keep our guns. People have said that this Country has always been a Country to bear arms and that is true. Our forefathers wrote it in the Constitution with not one reference in the Constitution about children, women or minorities. Why??? Because they were considered to not be considered. They were expendable. Today it's our children who have to fight for themselves to be recognized. Take the Parkland shooting where students who became activist were mock, belittled and shamed by pro gun activist for their desire to have something done about gun violence. It is ridiculous that we are in our 27th school gun shooting in 2022 and we are only in our 5th month of this year. And to act like our children ( people in general) are precious is a real joke because it should have only taken 1 school shooting to have turned things around. But the precious gun and the rights of guns is far more important than a human life.
Agree completely there is no reason, no excuses
Please read up on the supreme court justice Warren Burger
And I can say with certainty that nothing will change. Did you hear Ted Cruz's speech to the NRA? Very little sympathy here for Texas...
19 cops vs one 18 year old...19 cops waited around outside,they roughed up a parent that insisted they act while the murder of children continued within earshot ..literally, earshot.
There is no amount of training that can prepare a cop for this. It’s just not possible. Yet they still vomit the nonsense of a good guy with a gun. Maybe seal team six could have stoped this , but no way a bunch of dumb deputies with minimal training. Also, cowardice.
I have a 10 year old daughter, her school is literally within earshot of our home and I've been having that exact nightmare, for days. I can't fathom the pain and fear. Awful.
@@AmFlora I would recommend having a talk with your child’s school regarding safety, and when’s the last time they’ve been training for at Rajiv event like this.
It's time for that department to be completely overhauled.
One cop for each dead child!!!!
Who would have thought the best argument for "defund the police" would come from Texas law enforcement?. All that expensive gear and training was waisted on them.
I think I read 40 percent of their budget was spent .
Fine but pick only one option. Either fund better police or stfu about banning guns. And oh btw, this is a border town so lest you forget Dummycrats voted in a crisis that is tying up good law enforcement even from small towns.
It breaks my heart what these children must have gone through.
Mine too Ms. Gayle. Mine too.
It makes me so angry to think of what those children went through.
and what they are going to go through as they process
@@taxtherich68 .... And those children are exactly WHY we MUST vote OUT every single gun loving, NRA hugging, fraud interpreting of the 2nd Amendment politician!
The ball is in the voter's court. We vote with those children, and ALL other innocents mass murdered with weapons of war, in our hearts!
And sadly in Texas their nightmares will be legitimized and their fears ignored by all the adults around them glorifying that killing thing that was making all that noise, causing all that blood pain and screaming and killing all their friends
Imagine if this were happening in a affluent neighborhood...
I wager a different situation and result.
Everything is big in Texas including cowardice. How can an armed cop not enter a room to save children even at the cost of his own life.
Well said .
The Yellow State ..
TX and their big everything, bunch of cowards!
Telling obvious lies by politicians and public officials are the norm now. No shame at all
And yet voters continue to install them into government positions.

That's why I only trust the North Korean News
So wait till he runs out of kids and then
Normal for Republicans.
THE RESPONSE FROM TX SHOULD BE AS FOLLOWS:
"Today, Gov Abbutt and his entire administration RESIGNED."
"And the on-scene-commander was fired."
Yeah. If they have any self respect they will do that or at least commit suicide. Cause at this point suicide is actually more honorable than their lack of action.
That will not reduce Military gear from the street or make the police well equipped when on duty. Wrong wrong approach. There has to be one superior side. Think hard about what you just watched. Think as a parent of one of the kids, as a police on the scene and as a gun lobbyist.

"I wasn't there" tells you everything you need to know about this "leader".
@@ursamajor6347 If he had integrity he would be under the bus together with his junior staff and collegues, whom he threw there.
If he had integrity he would not wave off questions with an "in hindsight"-comment - *everything* the cops investigate and punish the people for is "in hindsight".
If integrity or even the truth was their first concern it wouldn't take more than a week to get a credible timeline - from those that demand respect and credibility from us.
@@ursamajor6347 If the guy is there or not is irrelevant. As a leader he is responsible for his employees and their actions. At least that's what leaders say when explaining why they deserve the big bux.
The police had a timeline ready within hours after the incident, yet it took days to present it?
You are not being upfront when the timeline changes over several days, where a school officer are being shot at one day, for then telling us there were no school officer there at all the next day.
To come out and admit what everyone knows; kids alone in a room while a gunman is killing off one by one for an hour or so, while the police are fighting back their parents, is nothing but a scandalous failure, should be easy. It shouldn't be considered the right thing to do, or rewarded, it should be expected.
One reason this happened at all is a culture within the police where they no longer are willing to risk their own lives, something that has evolved within the service in many countries.
This is a culture contradictory to the law, and as a leader he should have to take the responsibility for that.
The cops who were there should be dismissed for cowardice and charged.
@@ursamajor6347 This is politics, the only way he has a chance to keep his job is to claim no responsibility, while blaming his own men. That is what he has done - repeatedly, by saying so directly and by saying he wasn't there. Pure and simple.
If you don't understand that, you have some growing up to do - not to mention some manners to learn. The lack of knowledge is no excuse for acting like a fool, it just magnifies it.
Now, this very subject has been my job for the last 30 years, so if you have any questions on the matter let me know. Your contribution however is of no value and so not wanted or needed.
It's funny that the police didn't want to risk their lives even though that's what they signed up for. The unarmed Mothers were begging to be let in to school, & teachers where shielding children with their own bodies.
Maybe the cops couldn't act because they got new matching Death sleeve tattoos the day before and their arms hurt.
If the kids were predominately white, I bet they would of moved faster.
They never signed up to sacrifice themselves.
@@PianoUniverse You won that bet.
This would have been much easier if the active shooter does not have an Assault Weapons. This is just normal police, they are people, not SWAT team. Of course they are afraid of dying, same as most "good guys with guns" folk.
it's easy to talk. The underlying reason is the ease of access to assault weapon and gun culture making it difficult for normal police to do the job. When you think about police, do not think that any of them are main character in the movie. They do not get paid that much.
Get these clowns out of office

I think race factored into to this as well. Let's see them tell a group of white parents, "we'll wait awhile". And what was up with the DNA? I've never heard of them doing that before. I am so disgusted!

Abbott has a press conference and he has to look into the eyes of those parents whose kids were killed senselessly by a teenager who had no right purchasing a AR-15, what excuse will he come up with
I wonder if he would think that if we put him in that classroom with those children??🤔🤔🤔

No, tell him "It could have been better by PREVENTING it in the 1st place!" BTW As long as the NRA is lining the pockets of these elected officials we won't see any change on gun control. Vote those jack*sses OUT OF OFFICE!
They had to think about it. Freaking cowards
They have to follow orders it's not fair to say that all police officers are cowards. The person who told them to stand down as the one who's responsible. This isn't the Wild Wild West where you get to do whatever you want.

Oh, please... the Police were not outgunned. They have the SAME weapons as that 18 year old shooter. The same calibre and muzzle velocity. The same body armour. What they lacked was guts.
Thank You!!!

Get a grip, we have a huge EASY GUNS problem in our country and one political party is mostly
responsible for it.
I find this hard to wrap my head around. " Little children are slowly murdered". " Police outgunned" . NRA then turns up in Texas and hold their convention and Governor Greg Abbott finds time to do a political speech to the NRA while those murdered babies have not even been laid to rest yet. Despicable
Now you know the extent of Abbott's concern for his fellow Texans. Vote the SOB out! He's proven that he can't be trusted. He and his Republican pals are bad for Texas, especially minority Texans and their children.
Gov. Abbott is a disgusting POS... period!!
I agree with you but I the way I'm understanding that nra thing had been scheduled and the various entertainment, the dignified thing to do would have been to either cancel your appointment to appear or cancel it completely we see just how much dignity and decency there honestly is by the all those that were in attendance physically or other wise, and for what to pat each other on the back, purchase things that feed into the stereotype of a "super-hero" myth all are only human, deserving of decency, and respect no matter who you are, when you have a job to do that others have been lead to believe is to protect and serve, then do just that.
Yup, Abbott he's a big part of the problem, POS.
Gotta make sure that $$$ keeps flowing in. Republicans make money from fear and now make it very clear that the blood of children is worth the checks as well. Glad I switched parties after Trump. Wish I had switched sooner.
As long as cops can swagger up to a family in a car that was breaking the speed limit, and demand total cooperation, they're pretty brave. For some of them, put them against a violent criminal, not so much. To the police: Some of your own profession are ruining your reputation, and yet too many of you still defend them. This has gone on too long.
Cop. See this holster. It's represents your life in my hand. I will defend myself from you, or least that's what I'll write in the report.

Disgusting and horrifically cruel.
Why are ppl so hesitant to say what's staring them in the face? THOSE MEN WERE COWARDS! While children were being murdered, those COWARDS stood there and did nothing. We all know it.
Agreed
Well, they did do something. They handcuffed hysterical parents who were imploring them to get in there and save their children, or let them go instead.
Amen! I agree and concur! All my posted comments mention these officers cowardous,cowardly inept inaction and duly warrant the repercussions that all officials involved from the top down deserve!
The worst form of coward, how tf can you be scared in a 1v19....
Absolutely gut wrenching to watch those parents desperate to get to their children and these police pi$$ing their pants and doing NOTHING😭😭🤬🤬
Do you really believe any of them would not have been killed immediately? AK-47 do not belong in the hands of an 18 year old.
Oh they were doing something, they were keeping the parents out of the school.
The Police now will not risk there lives because this shooters are so well armed ..........even the police will not go in ...............until they no for certain they can take down the shooter.................

@@DavidMalcolm and p'ing their pants.
Gut less idiots. My heart breaks as a parent...
I remember as a WILDLAND firefighter, my captain was adamant that we were there to save people lives, first and foremost. We stayed behind in the Angora fire to be sure the entire area was evacuated. Five young men willing to risk their lives to help our fellow humans.
We were just firefighters, there was no requirement to do what we did. But something about the uniform and responsibility of the position made it seem obvious that's what we should do.
People keep trying to defend them, but if there's nothing in you instinctively that wants to help. Go manage an autozone.
The difference between a firefighter and a cop is the firefighter risks it all so it's bravery.
I respect firefighters so much
That was my thought after hearing all these reports that the police didn't want to go in and help these poor kids....
I thought to myself, I've seen firefighters with balls of steel not hesitate to put their lives on the line to save people they never met....
Thank you for your serving our communities, not all people have courage like you guys do
The police departments in America need to take notes from the fire departments that actually serve and protect
Obviously there are cops that fulfill their duty, but I've had bad experiences with police that fail their oath
Not "just" firefighters, you were breve and did your duty. Can't say the same about these officers who completely failed
So, how are those "thoughts and prayers" working for you, Texas? You get what you vote for.
Why have none of these men resigned or been fired yet? This is outrageous!
Good luck with that. They'll never be fired properly get a promotion. I'll say again bunch of cowards.
They should also all face lawsuits that bankrupt them for life. They are outright cowards.
Last I heard the justice department is investigating so I'm not sure what goes on after that what a job to have there especially if your a parent, know someone whose been a victim of gun violence, or any other type of violence.
With an ‘Active Shooter’ they are supposed to act immediately. This was implemented after Columbine. No waiting for SWAT or anything.
Well when cowardice runs up against the rules, cowardice takes precedence.
@@lukeberghaus272 apparently so. 😢😢😢
Yep. and it's true in every police manual all around the world. Look at the 2 cops on patrol that night who entered the Bataclan first in paris. 9mm against terrosit with AK47. but they got in. And shoot one. They did not wait any order or any swat team to arrive. They did what they are taught to do in case of "active shooting". You get in, and you try to take the guy down or isolate him. If you die ? well, bad luck.
Police officers were too afraid to go in and face a gunman so left it to the children to do so. Despicable.
So 19 officers felt outgunned by ONE shooter? What did he have, a couple of WMD's?
I would rather see a dozen cops killed (in the line of duty) than ONE elementary school age child.
Pure garbage.
The "pigs" are only interested in "attacking, killing" "soft targets", like "unarmed black & brown people".
Well he wasn't an unarmed black man so the pigs were too scared to do anything
Thank god they used the key to get in the classroom. Damaging the door would have been such a tragedy. /s
Throughout my training during and after the academy, we were told to never ever wait for the SWAT team to show up. If we heard shots being fired, we are to go in and engage and eliminate the shooter. We received extensive training in active shooter responses and I can say that I mentally prepared myself for when that would happen. As a campus police officer I thank God no one ever entered any school sites whether high school, middle school or elementary and attempted to harm any of the kids who should be safe, but whenever I spoke to the other officers I worked with, we made it clear to each other that we're going to go in and not wait and if one of us gets shot then so be it, that's what we signed up for. To put it plain and simple, I will never ever betray my oath to protect and serve. That key phrase is protect.
Thank you, sir. But I'll believe it when I see it. Your fellow LEOs are not as trustworthy as you say that you are. I hope you never have to prove your words.
Same here in france. Active shooting : you do not wait any ordrer or any special unit. You warn as quick as possible your superior of the situation and you go in, in order to either neutralize the guy or isolate him until othger guys come to help. yeah, you might die in the process. Active shooting is way different than hostage situation. Totally different.
Ok
God bless you man! We need more brave officers like you.
@@magoryn stay safe there in France brother.
I can't even listen to this anymore, I'm so angry at the cops who stood out doing nothing and the morons that think it's OK for citizens (and 18 year olds at that!) to have arsenals big enough to frighten an entire police force into cowardice. An absolute disgrace.

Cops are ONLY tough when they want to escalate a situation or violate someone’s rights. Most pigs are cowards just like this whole department disgusting and unacceptable.
It’s sickening.
you just cant run in either in or you'll just get mowed down by the shooter and not save anyone
Remember what they always say?, "The solution to stopping a Bad Guy with a gun is a Good Guy with a gun". Well, we can now, once and for all, throw that one out with all the rest of the garbage that the NRA and GOP creates out of whole cloth! Whatever happened to, "To Serve and Protect"? There were NO heroes among the White Hats of the 'Manly Texas' image of heroism they fall over themselves to portray. They may as well not even try to keep up that appearance anymore, as they would just beclown themselves. It's all just been a Big Lie you were told, and called anyone Scum for not believing it.
Even cops say they can't out gun an AR and yet banning them isn't the answer? Give me a break. Our country is beyond repair.
We need to remove the obstructions to the rational world we want, we need, and our children deserved, the one envisioned by those who designed this country. Let’s start by demanding change, educating those who do not understand the gravity of the current situation, and voting in such unprecedented numbers that even by cheating the obstructionists cannot win.

They would have busted the door down and come in guns blazing, if it had been an unarmed man with drugs.
The waiting for keys excuse is even worse when you realize the classrooms supposedly had accessible windows too.
Locked doors ain't never stopped a firefighter from accessing a scene. They do what needs done. Not what the playbook dictates.
I've only heard that sound coming out of a mother at two funerals I attended. I never thought I would hear that again. You can't unhear that sound.
We need police to protect their communities from violence, not police us for minor violations! Recreate the police to be our protectors not our jailers!!!
I can't even begin to imagine how horrifying all of this was for those kids. The parents too. Having to wait feet away from your child in danger, not being able to help and no one helping them. Just unreal.
And the GQP think that if they arm 'good people', then noone dies, here you have 19 armed police officers, and nothing happens, yeah the GQP has all the smart ideas, definitely a party you should vote for 🤦
jesus 🤦🏾♂️
Life is often unfair. Get used to it
As a parent I would have run in the school if the police weren’t saving my child from gunfire. The police would have to shoot me to stop me.
It is also unreal that people are allowed to legally buy guns that force DNA having to be done because an identification of the poor children could not otherwise be done.
How could police tell children to shout out help when that monster was still killing them, this was absolute negligence, that little girl trusted that cop and is now dead, my heart goes out to every parent and their families affected by this horror.🇬🇧
They wanted the children dead; and we all know why!
So the police told the kids to yell help without knowing the full assessment of the situation in the class and caused one kid to lose their life because it made the kid identifiable to the shooter! The policeman that told the kids to yell help should be held accountable and face murder charges.
He's livid about how this impacts him. He wasn't livid when he was causing supply chain issues or backing unfair legislation. I'm not sure he knows what livid means. I hope he finds out in November.
Vote blue.
Supply chain issues started in 2019 and the dominoes have fallen around the world ever since.
@@nebulousvoid Abbott's enhanced safety inspections didn't make the situation much worse when he ordered them? Consider the context dork.
If he finds out in November, that means Texas will have elected the other guy that published stories online involving his fantasies about mowing children down with his car. These are the choices we have.
@@sjstone.7989 the guy running for the blue team published stories online involving his fantasies of mowing down children with his car. The irony of him using a photo op at this press conference.... So yeah these are our choices. Why do you ask? Because Democrats intentionally voted for the worst guy on the red ticket to stack the cards. Yup that's what we've come to. Thanks Democrats. Maybe Blue should vet their own people better and worry less about the other team.
So it turns out our police “heroes” in fact do _not_ put their lives on the line every single day after all.
They/The Police was scared for their lives.
@@parrishharris3008 part of their job is to protect others even it includes risking their lives 😊
@@beaberrylious it took 45 mins to find one that wasnt too scarred
@@parrishharris3008 they signed up to protect the public not themselves
Now now now, they had to make sure they could go home to their family's
This is crazy!!! What these children went through is absolutely horrifying! Now there are adults worried about the words they spread!!! People love your kids because now we can’t take them to school without having to worry!!! My prayers and condolences go out to all the families!!!
Texas Police in there SHOULD resign! *All police have bullet proof armor, required and given, and these so-called Texas Police head saying why it took 90-minutes to go in, saying during news conference, "we needed more equipment, body amor, special equipment..." After I have listened the commonsense defying sickening loads of bul shets new conference with reporters, I almost fell off from the chair!" All the regular training of shootings paid for my police department, they have guns, refiles, even shot gun, best in close quarter combat, and what the miserable imbecile saying translated to them wanted, tank, APC for gun man only armed with pistole and rifle! Oh, my my, what kind of police, correction, despicable shameless cowards they are! I would immediately go into the school and engaging in combat since I have body amor, pretending I am a police officer, and side arm and rifle or shot gun is even batter, and engaging in battle. But that would be too risk for those cowards at the best plus dirty liers scared dog with tails in its legs!
Those police were worse than useless
i hate to say it (and those kids would never be so awful to do it) but if they had described the active shooter as black, i'm sure those police wouldn't have hesitated for a minute
Condolences to all the families I pray for their strength patience and grace and that they may find comfort knowing so many people genuinely care.
Heads need to roll for this amount of utter negligence. Abbott needs to fire the heads of these law enforcement departments and then Texas needs to fire Abbott in November.
Governor Abbott is “livid”. Gee, me too. The difference is that he can do something about it and I can’t. He
knows that. He is a small man.
I don’t believe a word that comes out that Gov.’s mouth.Ted Cruz is a joke how do he manage to get re-elected?
You mean like…in his pants?
Almost all the mass shooting take olace very close to 1° & 2° narcotics transportation highways.
Uvalde was a mjor transportation hub. Think ppl. Think.
Who is in charge if those highways?
.
I wonder, what would be there response if this happened to kids where their children attend???? Are these children just important if not more???? They want us to treat this as a normality, the usual, this is what it is but we can’t let these people dictate who lives or dies !!!!!!!!!! GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OFFICE NOW!!!!!!!!
@@donaldyoung2983 its been the agenda, slbeit for many generations... Since roosevelt was pres for 3 terms. Our leaders have known our system was doomed to fail . And it continually falters.

And here we are. A huge major part of the problem is our system if politics & pols. We are kinda stuck w our system - which btw? They kno and want to change..
They think we, the ppl are too headstrong.. and we will refuse to change.. so theyve got an ultra slow step by step plan to sllow us to age out and it only goes generation ny generation...
Thus why they want to step. By step? Take our guns away.. etc..
This killingof our kids?
I simply cannot tolerate.
Ppl kno there's a game afoot n it nakes em kinda crazy.... because they try to inderstand. it HAS to change, our physical world is *GOING TO CHANGE* but the pols think we'll fall for a leader like trump who cons is w a line of b.s. many fall for.
Thats the real danger.

Imagine the feeling of abandonment those children must have been experiencing in their last minutes of life on earth. Their classmates dead and dying around them, frantically calling 911 to beg for rescue, trying to play dead, while police right outside the door simply DECLINE to rescue them, and stand around and wait for a key. Inhuman. They abandoned those children and are complicit in their murders. Yes, obviously the commanding officer is most at fault, but every officer who was “just following orders” is also complicit. History doesn’t look well on the “good Germans” and neither should we. Those kids were willfully abandoned and left to die. The cops were accomplices to the gunman.
Were you one of the geniuses throwing around terms like "Defund the Police"? Well this is what you get. Any cops that may have been good at their jobs left and now you have bottom of the barrel cops that just want to collect a paycheck. Congrats. You did it.
@@freakbiker That's not what the defunding movement actually wants. The actual movement was to take the often, bloated, cash flows of some of the departments with the largest budgets and put them towards creating local agencies that are specialized in dealing with things like mental health and DV cases. The idea being that if they can route "relatively" minor 911 calls that don't require an armed response to that agency, that'll free up resources and time for things like training and more serious calls. While, at the same time, being able to treat and deal with those situations where having an armed individual can escalate the situation before there's even an interaction.
Some of these ideas were being tossed around when swatting was more popular and were not initially meant to completely defund cops.
@@freakbiker you are arguing in bad faith… And you know it. 40% of that city’s budget goes to the police department. Can it be spent better somewhere else? 🤔
@@fern7306 Exactly. Any department getting 40% of their town budget is not de-funded in any way.
@@Yunfarron78 They have to have a bloated cash flow to chase all the idiots around that the judges are letting out of jail.
The governor and the police of Texas are sad this is sad
The children were unrecognizable. They had to use DNA to IDENTIFY the children. One father said that they wouldn't let him see his child because the wounds were so bad. This is sick.
I wouldn't want to remember my child like that
@@westcoastbred7745 Yeah, me neither. That's horrible.
Abbot Paxton Cruz Patrick all need to look at those baby’s bodies. Really look at them. Their blood is on their hands.
Sweet Jesus...im at a loss for words. Im just sick.
"Outgunned" is a cowards excuse, particularly with the hardware that police have access to, and in TEXAS? Get better cops, get better policy. All of the parents outside would have been better off with guns and allowed to rescue their own kids. What has become of the MEN in our government? Aside from the military, our public officials are castrated cowards.
The "pigs" are only interested in "attacking, killing" "soft targets", like "unarmed black & brown people".
Every official in that area/district should resign - because they all FAILED.
Maybe the cops couldn't act because they got new matching Death sleeve tattoos the day before and their arms hurt.
Yep
I agree but the only person who is going to be disciplined is the parent who jumped over a fence and ran into the school to find her kids and bring them out. Since she disobeyed the police she will probably get major jail time. In fact if the shooter had lived he would probably gotten less jail time for killing 21 people than parents like the one who the police knocked to the ground for interfering in a police procedure of standing around and doing nothing. He will get a lot more jail time than the shooter would have.
Yeah, Border Control killed em’…Can’t imagine, for no particular reason, that they’d have let him surrender himself.
Brilliant idea . If they all resign , now what ? No police in the whole area or district .?
SO SO SAD..
THE PEOPLE IN OFFICE DON'T CARE...IT'S SICKENING.
THIS WORLD IS SICK
The position of being a cop attracts too many of the wrong type of people. These cops failed to say the least.

You people have watched too many movies. You don't blindly breach a door. They had no way of knowing what was on the other side. What if this person had taken a hostage and their actions got the hostage killed? What if he had rigged the door with something? I'm sorry to break this to you but Rambo and John McClane are characters of fiction and their tactics are not practical, safe, or effective. The police are trained during an active shooter situation to contain the area. They are not trained to kick in a door and start blasting because doing so is stupid. And the message to students is "Sorry kids, but as adults, we refuse to address gun violence because it is too hard and I'm too lazy to be bothered anyway. You're just gonna have to get used to this and accept that because of my inaction and unwillingness to do anything I've basically given the ok to someone to burst into your classroom and take you out. Sorry in advance but I really can't be bothered to do anything about guns, I'm too busy posting on TH-cam and Facebook about how bad the police are."
After watching this, if anyone thinks Abbott cares for anyone else but himself, they’re deluded. Only way to get him out of a place of power… VOTE!
@@darthvader1793 I rest my case!
Most Politicians do not care, only care about getting re-elected and money and power. Concerning the Uvalde massacre of precious children in Texas. This is becoming more frequent. I see many becoming mad, sad or Politicians trying to take advantage or the situation, but very few good idea's being talked about or implemented. Here is my two cents. First off I believe strongly about the 2nd Admendment and no one is taking my gun in a society where they are defunding the Police and taking gang units out by the defunding who were getting guns off the street, zero bail, Soros funded DA's letting out criminals early, not charging them for many of their crimes, and changing laws like theft to $950 before it's a crime to detour. How is this working out? Plus we had lock downs and job losses because of covid and before that riots that burned down businesses, creating more homeless, money problems and mental health problems and more. BUT we need to do something to protect our precious innocent children. When I was young this type of thing was rare. Why? Less population was one and open borders do not help. Also we did not have radicals on the internet trying to radicalize our children then. This needs to be monitored and safeguards by the parents at a minimum or State. If the parents or those in charge see worrisome behavior the parents need to act on it, and not just think their child is that innocent 8 year old they used to have. This is really caring for the child and society. So hold the parents responsible if they can prove the Parent knew and did nothing with a fine and or misdemeanor. We also did not have China giving us a virus and the Government and rich taking advantage of the situation at our expense. Also have you noticed that many of the school shootings were done by like 18 to 20 year olds? Make it illegal to own guns if under 21 unless you are in the Military which is under guidance and discipline. How about 2 armed guards at schools with a metal detector and one entrance? Many are complaining about Texas gun laws, but from my studies, most of the States with the most liberal gun laws have the lowest crimes from guns. And when crime is up over 50% in many Democrat run cities, I will not give up my guns to defend myself, loved ones and the innocent. If one has been convicted of a violent crime whether 16 or 60, make it illegal for them to own a gun. At least they are giving serial numbers now to ghost guns which can be traced, or give them 90 days to register or a fine and if used in a crime without being registered triple the fine and add a misdemeanor. Find ways to make it harder for criminals, young gang members and mentally ill to get guns. If school teachers want to take the training, let them carry and protect. To me these seem practical and not emotional. I came up with several others, but many have brought them up before by others. Just my 2 cents.
The irony of a man in a wheelchair acting so callously towards others, is gargantuan. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Vote him out…
@@darthvader1793 bullcrap!!! Gun safety not your lies
Everyone there was in on it. From the shooter to the police
Not a blunder at all, but a deliberate delay, as most of the students were of Hispanic descend. Really sick.
Exactly
95% of the cops in that area are hispanic..genius
Michael,
You do realize the UPD has a majority of Hispanic police and two of them lost children in the shooting.
All you are doing is spreading hate in the false flame that you are protesting it.👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👍
Basically they don't care
I just think they are cowards and they knew they were in big danger. Most cops are Hispanic so I don’t think the kids’ race played any part
So the whole "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" BS can now be officially retired; because it's just that. BS.
It has always been BS
Yes and no.
Yes, because the cops were ‘good guys with a gun’ but did not go in.
No, because the people who talk about ‘good guys with a gun’ do not mean cops. They mean civilians, because they understand when there is a dangerous situation there is a chance the cops will NOT be there. This situation proves that.
So, yes and no.
Those who say yes see it as a reason why having guns to protect yourself is not going to help since these ‘good guys with a gun’ did not come through.
Those who say no ironically see this as more reason why they should be armed, because the cops are useless and they themselves need to be the ‘good guy with the gun.’
And that is why both sides of the gun debate will never change
They'll put a new spin on it try to clean it up and sell it as new BS
How is it BS? What other ways do you have of stopping a bad guy with a gun? Waiting until he runs out of bullets or decides to take himself out?
@@OneEyedJack1970 - try reading the comments before yours, and see if you can work it out.
