Refusing to engage the shooter isn't a "mistake"... it's dereliction of DUTY.
This 💯💯💯
Exactly!
Sad. The police let all the children being "SHOT TO D**TH" and they the POLICE just "waited outside" playing with their cell. THEY ALL SHOULD BE FIRED.
They were told to stand down
@@czarcastic1458 doesn’t matter, none could be a human and just run in there to help even when told to stand down. A lone off duty Border patrol went in against orders and killed him
These guys look scary when you’re taking a driving test but are cowards where it counts.
That part ♡
So there is 700k officers in the country. So you know all 700k are cowards. Funny how I seen hundreds of videos of officers saving lives.
The fact police act so tough against unarmed civilians but when it comes to an active shooter even with bulletproof vests on they just stand around to look tough for the cameras unfreaking believable
It happens in every school shooting. Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook... the cops are always looking around outside of the building while gunshots are going off inside. Cops are afraid of unhinged teens with guns and call for back-up whenever they see any decent-sized man who is angry. The cops of old were warriors. Today's cops take TikTok videos on the job and can't look a grown man like me in the eyes without flinching or ground watching.
We have the most militarized police force in the planet. But facing one shooter they all went coward mode (because we all know they are bullies and bullies are cowards)
I get what you are saying but those vests they wear don’t stop rifle rounds.
@@jamescash887 right because you need level 4 armor plates wich they probably already have because they spend millions on militarized equipment you failed to understand what I'm trying to get across
@@moistfart9569 no actually the school nor local police had any of that. That’s why they had to call border patrol. These aren’t big city cops. This is a small town that probably doesn’t have a very big budget for all that stuff.
Thats so sad and such a mess from the police! America dosen´t learn about their mistakes in the past..all these guns in sick evil peoples hands! If they don´t make a real change this will never stop...
Republican senators value their paychecks from the Nra over the lives of the citizens. Nothing will change while they hold the country hostage.
They’re arrogant
I’m so sick that we never do anything but send thoughts and prayers after these tragedies occur. Americans stormed the capital over an election but we never agree on what to do after our children are murdered. Nothing ever changes, it’s the same bickering until the next shooting.
@@SJ-ni6iy Do you remember what happened to that police precinct during the George Floyd protests, That should happen again.
How many rounds can be fired by the weapons now used to protect this president? During the 20th century more people were killed by their own governments than were killed in warfare., but it did not happen in the U.S. During WW2 some gun owners in the U.S. shipped their guns to the British to help fight the Nazis. Read "The Federalist Papers", if you think the Second Amendment is about hunting.
The cops were more busy LITERALLY PUSHING AND, ASSAULTING PARENTS WHOM WERE ACTUALLY TRYING TO HELP THOSE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!! (and, YES this is true - many videos have shown this) - DISGUSTING - law enforcement FAILED THAT ENTIRE COMMUNITY!!!!!!! 💔
Disregard the authority of uniformed Bedwetters.
Just like Columbine, the cops were too cowardly to confront an unhinged teen with a semi-automatic weapon. They're only tough when it comes to traffic stops on unarmed civilians. If I were there, I would have gone in like Rambo and took out that 110lb wimp without hesitation. That's how I'm built.
Tragically yes.
That video started at 11:55 and some kids were shot between 12:10 and 12:30.
While the parents were in the parking lot being restrained by police.
Yeah, the parents were unarmed, and easier to control than the kid with the gun so they did that instead.
They are the LOWEST of the LOWEST of our society !! They must face CONSEQUENCES !!!!!!
Absolutely disgusting... hard to believe 19 officers stood by while such defenseless children got massacred. How much back-up do you cowards need against a single gunman ???? My heart goes out to all who died and their loved ones. Such a very sad day :(
19 cowards
I agree however they were probably at a tactical disadvantage. They probably had to come through a narrow doorway which give the advantage to the shooter. Either way I do agree waiting over an hour to do something is unacceptable.
I would bet a million dollars that if just one of those officers or supervisors that were on that scene had family in that building they would have been in that building ASAP
Cowards is the correct title for those Cops.
@@monmixer apparently several of them did have children in that building.
If you’re a cop who stood outside that day you should never be allowed to hold your head up high for the remainder of your sad little life.
Preach.
How can you be sure of that? How can you be sure that those cops didn't know what to do because they feared that the man barricaded himself inside using the children as hostages?
What if they tried to enter as soon as they get there and the man killed the children all the same (or even more , provided that some children survived)?
What would have you said in that case?
You should avoid the public in general!
AGREED
the United States Constitution does not require law enforcement officers to protect you from other people, according to the U.S. Supreme Court. This notion contradicts our engrained perceptions, but it’s still the law today. still think you should not own a gun
This is unacceptable!!! How dare they not protect those children!
Even if the officers outside were told it was a barricaded suspect didn’t they HEAR THE GUNSHOTS!!! MY GOD RUSH IN AND HELP THOSE POOR SCARED KIDS
Exactly!!!
Can it be the commander was 'deaf' ??? Live rounds...19 officers inside of the building but outside the classroom, that already had the window shot out? They heard gunshots for almost an hour.
Even in a barricade situation, if people are in there, the rules allow you to go in. So this is excuse of the situation being officially changed, doesn't matter, it's a simple lie. They just didn't want to go in, period.
These cops are just covering up for each other cause while they say they thought the suspect was barricaded and no longer a threat multiple 911 calls from children were received while the police waited and did nothing and actively stopped parents from doing something.
They lied. They were too afraid and lied so they wouldn’t go in.
They acted all macho and tough against law abiding families trying to get to their children but were nothing but cowards. All of the officers that didn't go in and the ones that prevented the families from entering need to be fired and charged for cowardice.
If a soldier did that on the battlefield he'd be executed.
Cowardice is a Crime.?
They weren't cowards. They just realized it wasn't white kids They were saving
@@Krusty_the_clown lol
Why demonize white people...it makes you a racist
Sounds like the officers were only there to collect a paycheck and would rather not get involved. This is an egregious error that must not be left unanswered.
Horrible just horrible! Throw all their badges and the whole police department away 😡
Bet the cops mothers would have charged in there
Oh but since those children are not their kids… they don’t give &@*&. Sad but true.
This is what makes you wonder why parents even bother telling their kids to trust the police and have respect for them. Okay, so a relatively small minority of them are doing what they're supposed to and trying to protect the public and children in the situation like this, but the rest of them? Handcuffing mothers who want to rush in and try to save the children that they gave birth to because the cops don't have the balls? 🖕🐖🐖🐖🐖!
Worst Law Enforcement in the country
@@xx_smokenskeleton_xx1527 that's a low bar
Extreme cowardice. Absolutely unforgivable. How will any of these “men” live with themselves?
I have no idea. I don't care or want to know.
They dont give a crap, they survived which is what was more important for them!
It's funny how sit back and call others cowards when I doubt you've in a situation more dangerous than a dispute over something at the store. Also what's with the 'men' remark? Are you saying that you can only be a man of you run into bullets?
The officer from Parkland who stood around doing nothing gas been criminally charged. We need to charge these people.
They should serve prison time for attacking the parents.
My deepest condolences.
My thoughts & prayers; oh wait.
It’s been 23 years since Columbine,
and look where that has got you.
Nothing has changed & this will depressingly happen again.
Do not call this "mistakes", call it for what it was. Dereliction of duty.
Dereliction of duty as well as incompetence and COWARDICE.
That wasn't a case of "Mistakes were made" but "Criminal negligence" from the police.
They did not care
Place the blame on the teacher who left the door propped open.
Really! And not the AR toting Criminal or the POLICE OFFICER'S WHO DID NOT PROTECT AND SERVE 🙈🙉🙊
I can't believe the police in good conscience stood outside knowing children were being fired upon and killed. At least let the parents storm the school, they would do anything to save the children where as clearly the armed authorities were not willing to risk anything. They can investigate, they can apologize they can pay a zillion dollars to the families and nothing can ever right this wrong.
yes although if the police lost their livelihood and freedom that would be a start
I can believe it from my lifelong interactions with police in at least a dozen states.
They could have given their guns and vests to the parents and let them try. Cops did worse than nothing.
@@SienisotaI agree with you, however the parents would have charged inside even without any armor, and if they died saving their children, they would have died willingly, in the name of love, having given everything they had to save them.
@@Sienisota true
It comes down to bad leadership, incompetence and cowardice.
Police are tough when they are facing unarmed people but run and hide when the person is armed and shooting. The initial response time and time again from police is to lie, then lie, then lie again and only tell the truth when a judge orders them to release a video or when members of the media continue to point out the holes and inconsistencies in their stories. The officer that made the decision not to go in should do the honorable thing and turn in his badge and it says a lot that he hasn't yet. The police department should be sued and officers possibly charged for criminal negligence.
You are so accurate man .
Sad. The police let all the children being "SHOT TO D**TH" and they the POLICE just "waited outside" playing with their cell. THEY ALL SHOULD BE FIRED.
It’s the liberal policies that say do not engage. The cops follow the policy and the liberal authorities don’t hire cops who will stand up against policy ti safe children. You get what you vote for - those cops were probably going to use caring, empathetic, talk therapy on that shooter.
@@shelahogletree7711 you have no idea what you're talking about. So shut it
@@shelahogletree7711 is "liberal" republican? I'm a brit, we have differnt meanings. Does a liberal follow milton friedmans neoliberal ideology as foisted upon the world by reagan and the CIA?
Hearing the story of a surviving child she didn't get emotional until describing hearing the police outside but not coming in to help. It seemed like that was the biggest trauma was the police not helping.
I wish those same officers were forced to sit down with her and look her in the eyes. I wonder if they would be able to give their ridiculous, cowardly, excuses straight to her face?
Is this a better late than never. Apparently someone decided that standing around wasn't getting the job done, and finally went in and killed the shooter. What would be the end result if some of these officers listened to the stand down directive. This time the s--t will roll up hill. Then will roll back down. All these officers will face some censure and discipline. No atta boys for them from the American people.
this is no big surpise is it?
@@johnbaxster8010 it would be to a little kid, they still believe that the police are our friends and will protect us. Unfortunately we’ve learned that we can’t blindly trust the police.
@@SJ-ni6iy lts hard for me to believe that not even one of those cops just didnt bust in there and shoot the guy...usually out of all those cops at least one of them would have just done what was necessary without being told what to do.Put yourself there,you have a rifle and a vest on ,and theres kids screaming and gunshots ...what are you going to do?...This is just unbelievable
Response to the killers possible motive should draw outrage! I blame the mother an absent father... and bullying.
The 19 police officers outside the door for an hour would have heard each shot as he executed the children. While the police waited. I guess they did stop something, they stopped the parents from going in to try to save their children.
Exactly, there were 8 people alive in that room and they kept calling 911 and none of those 19 cowards could be humans and get in there to help? Even if they were told to stand down an off duty border patrol agent drove up and by himself went in there and killed suspect. Those 19 could have surrounded that room and got the job done they were just scared and also waiting for suspect to finish his ammo.
They protected the killer from the parents!!
I hate how true this is.
They def are gonna burn for for listening to 8 year olds being murdered and the police can only think of themselves. Don't know how they sleep at night. Disgusting human beings
Cowards, disgusting. Hope they never forget what they did not do.
i was commenting at work yesterday that after and during theses nightmares all the news seem to show are repeats of cops,fat ones,running around with ar's jiggling or their fat tummys
That's not going to happen because that would require a conscience
@@davidcarter1013 yeah like Pedro "Pete" Arredondo, the chief of police of that school district. Bald guy with a big paunch. How stereotypical can you get?
maybe they need THEIR AR-15s taken away instead of us
They saved their own children but left others to die. To serve and protect themselves. The police and their unions are what's wrong with policing of America.
The police saved their own kids but not others?!? When did they say this?
@@caitlinrose6838 Yes it’s been reported several times that this is what happened.
There’s a Wrong with policing in America
19 cops right outside the 2 classrooms - one cop for each of the children/teachers that passed away - THOSE POOR KIDS WERE FAILED.
I wasn't surprised to hear Uvalde citizens say they didn't have any confidence in their police force even before this slaughter. In cities and towns across the United States, there are police forces like this. Ones with no true connection, or even respect, for the citizens they "serve." Uvalde is a city of just over 16,000, but sadly, is a small version of Ferguson, Missouri. And there are many others. Change is needed in America, but because of right wing leaders who have no intention of anything ever changing with policing, it is going to be a long fight.
I grew up in LA and trust me nobody likes the police because they treat us like slaves and they are sovereign citizens
They need to be fired and prosecuted..they failed to uphold the oath that they took…
Oaths and the words of people are ever changing. I wouldn’t rely on them if I were you
I agree, but there are laws to protect Police from prosecution for these exact things.
Which is shameful.
Unforgivable mistakes
Heads need to roll on this grave incompetence. Fire them all and get some real cops that know what the oath they take means. This is beyond pathetic 😡
You can believe abbott won't fire those cowardly officers, I would say justice department should get involved but merrick garland seems afraid.
Fired with pay
Yep and take away their pensions too they don’t serve it!
@@reginaldmassey3272 Rep. Joaquin Castro has contacted the FBI to begin an investigation. I will be holding my breath until these cowards are fired. They must be held accountable by the American public. I am so sick to my stomach!!!
This illustrates that police are there to enforce the law, not to help citizens. The don't have a duty to protect, just to enforce the law.
True. They enforce the law. Period
They didn’t enforce the law that you’re not allowed to slaughter little kids with bullets.
Half the time they don't even know the law, yet try to enforce it.
Fault is with Salvador Ramos.
“Waiting to enter the classroom was the wrong decision “ oh yeah we all know that already. This is totally unbelievable 🤯😡
We knew that was the wrong decision at Columbine.
No decision, Cops were Cowards. WAKE UP AMERICA!
They spent 77 minutes to check who had balls??
Officers stood by for 45 minutes while children bled to death. Why didn't it occur to these TRAINED cops to create chaos & diversion to confuse the shooter? Break the windows, shoot into the ceiling, batter the door, etc. Is there anything more urgent than kids being slaughtered? Epic fail. These poor kids & families.
Exactly. I was thinking the same way. They could have created some sort of distraction while other officers close in. Unbelievable.
100% all those cops are republicans who support banning abortion but look how much they cared when put to the test. Didn't even do a job they were trained, paid, and sworn to do.
@p214p48 the sad truth is.... they would!
You’re correct !!! I’m just sick over this . Police failed . Teacher that left door propped open failed but most of all that kids parents failed ! And his grandmother and 22 others paid for it 😢
Right. They had more than enough personnel to go In. Stupidity on the part of law enforcement.
Bro.
If that was my kids - even my DOGS - I would’ve pushed past the police with my CC and found and put down that gaunt, disgusting, ugly monster by myself.
Pathetic.
These cops are cowardly and deserve to spend the rest of their lives flipping burgers.
Parents if they could of gotten there hands on the shooter he would have been torn to pieces. I have no doubt
Exactly me too man I would’ve been right there with you with my cc
Yeah it's nice to fantasize that but you would have been pounced on by a bunch of fat cops, pinned on the ground maybe with a knee on the back of your neck and handcuffs would have been put on you. So what would you have been able to do after that? Nothing. If you had a gun on you maybe you would have even gotten shot and killed. By them.
Agree!!
@@seanm7539 Cops would have shot you both
He needs to be let go!! I would not want him to be in charged anymore!!!
personally if i was a cop in that situation i wouldve went in immediately searching for the culprit regardless willing to sacrifice my life for those kids, those cops should be held accountable for their incompetents
Me to
Why don’t you join the force and show ‘em how it’s done, Wyatt Earp.
Lives could of been saved. However, Texas law enforcement agencies suck.
Sad. The police let all the children being "SHOT TO D**TH" and they the POLICE just "waited outside" playing with their cell. THEY ALL SHOULD BE FIRED.
No that Texas law enforcement agency sucks not all of Texas. How about you go after Los Angeles New York City Chicago Detroit. Where they see crap like this every weekend.
No, Texas Republicans allowed weapons of war to be as easily obtained as a pack of gum. These weapons are beyond the capabilites of regular police . Policy is a special unit is called in with weapons and training to combat these situations. Most large cities have these units. I believe that is what they were waiting for. The Governor of Texas and the Republican Party are directly responsible for passing that law. This country spends millions on training our armed forces to operate these weapons but heck Greg Abbott thinks it's a good thing to allow an 18 year old to buy 2 automatic weapons and 200 rounds of ammunition.
@@tgs9740 If there was something of that huge scale happening every weekend, it'd be posted and reported on everywhere.
And those cities are on a much massive size and population in comparison to Uvalde, which is much smaller and easier to respond to quicker
@@philpjfry Texas is not the only state that sells assault weapons. 43 states sell assault weapons to people like you and me. 44 states including Texas, an 18 year old can walk in and buy a rifle or assault rifles and ammo.
No matter what laws are put in place there will always be a way for people (that shouldn't have guns) to get their hands on guns or assault weapons. Black Market, A family member or friend buys the gun for an individual that shouldn't have one. Unfortunately when there is a will to have a gun there will always be a way to get one.
Vote them OUT
Fire THEM
Take away their benefits
They should be jailed and fined for their incompetence
Vote who out.
Not one LEO present at the scene had the courage to say “Orders or not kids are in danger, we’re going in now! We’ll deal with insubordination later”.
I believe if the police would have went in right away lives could have been saved. But instead the police were treated the parents like criminals spaying mace at them and even handcuffing them while there kids were being murdered. Being a police officer that's your job to put your life at risk in order to save others especially children. I can't be the only person that feels this way. But the only comfort I can get from this is knowing that these innocent kids are with Jesus. May God be with these parents and family 🙏
I agree 💯
It was GOD that save the rest of the kids that survive and the angels that make that happen
Absolutely many lives would have been saved.
Unfortunately in a few years this will drift away into history. Someone will ask, "hey, remember that horrible school shooting in Texas?". Someone else will ask, "which one?".
Damn
And all these chickenshit cops will still have jobs and will have even moved up in rank.
yes 3rd one this yr
Damn this hit different. Sad, but true.
If they make history and pass a law under the name then it won't be forgotten
the fact that this governor was easily given incorrect information only speaks about his leadership quality.
Or do you think, maybe, the Governor is LYING!!!
That's the part I'm stuck on too
No, it came from local. And the local is who did wrong and gave fake accounts.
That chief of police should be fired immediately and lose his pension. Worst decision ever.
The resource officer left to get a donut, obviously he was supposed to be there and wasn't. FIRE THAT COP!!
Fire all of them top to bottom. If you would rather fallow orders than save a child's life than you don't have the mindset we should be fostering in our law informant. They are not the millitary asuch as they like to play pretend!
They'll suspend him with pay probably
Mmmmmm, donuts *DROOLS*
There was only 4 resource officers for 8 schools so it’s not really on the school officers.
@@reaperdragon1 not how that works. They still have a chain of command. This is 100% on the on-site commander. If he gave the order to halt then that is on him. He should be fired immediately. The mayor and town council could do that in a heartbeat.
In the beginning of the pandemic we walked into patients rooms, unsure of protection. Duty, it was our job. 20+ acute care Respiratory therapist, Nurses, Doctors, Evs all did their jobs. This was cowardly. Retire
THIS RIGHT HERE. Their job is to put their lives on the line to protect and serve their community. Instead, they wait outside with their rifles and bulletproof vests and don’t go inside because they were “afraid of their cops getting killed” for f suck kids are DYING inside getting blasted, DISGUSTING, all hope for police is GONE. DEFUND THEM
If a police officer didn't want to engage on that kind of thing, just ban an assault rifle or have a more robust background check.
What kind of training did they have?... With the number of school shootings we've had, they should've stormed that room..
COWARDS
The cops told parents in a video that they were afraid to go in there. Off duty border patrol agent killed suspect on his own.
If the police can’t handle one kid with an military weapon, there is no way we should let people buy them, especially kids. This is insane.
What's a military weapon 🤔
All school have gun free zone right how is that working
Any rifle can be put into military use then be called a military rifle. An assault weapons don't exist.
So true. If this doesn't tell us we need to regulate guns more, nothing does.
@@les0101s so what law do you want don't forget we already have over 30000 gun laws already 🙄
For you people wanting to make this racial here is a quote:
"At a news conference Friday, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Col. Steven McCraw said the person who made the decision not to breach the Uvalde elementary school classroom where a gunman was shooting children and teachers was the school district police chief, calling it the “wrong decision” to not engage the gunman sooner.
The Uvalde School District Police Chief is Pedro “Pete” Arredondo."
My condolences to all the families.
They tried to cover this up! Good thing the truth came out. Somebody needs to be held accountable for this.
Oh, the hammer is about to drop, you can bet on it. When the Governor of a state has to backtrack like he did, someone’s head will roll. In this case, probably a few heads. And good riddance, too.
Hold the police department accountable. How can they let this happen. Kids where begging for help hold those cops accountable
those cops will be expecting a pay raise for their next contract
There are more people in this world who refuse to help people because of their own bias than people realize.
mandatory resignation by the chief of police immediately.. Reports of parents being arrested and pepper sprayed pleading to save their children is heartbreaking.
I’m surprised there are no protests in the city demanding accountability.
He is being sworn in Tuesday to Uvalde's City Council!!!
23 years after Columbine and we're no more prepared now than we were then. smh
I would say we took a step backwards
You are so right. Damn.😞
exactly, and worst of all, it could happen again next week and then this will become last weeks news but the narrative always seems all too similar, a deranged kid with a semi automatic weapon on a rampage. I fear that the only way I'm never going to see this again is to stop watching news bulletins.
We went backwards because the media puts this all over the news the Internet etc. all the time and keeps putting the same idea in kids heads over and over Perhaps if all the shootings weren’t televised as much there may be a lot less shootings
They WERE prepared, did you see the Armoured outfits, helmets, rifles strapped to their gut, they were COWARDS.
Abbott needs to resign immediately. The police officers on the scene need to be fired.
How on earth can someone feel justified in defending gun sales to every nutter who wants one. America, please cherish your kids more than your weapons of destruction.
The governor of TX does, as well as almost all of the Republican legislators, even in Washington DC. They won't pass gun legislation, and people still vote for them, especially in TX.
Last time I checked democrats dream up the gun free school zones.
Can you just feel the spirit of the parents wanting to run in there and get that person before he got the children and the teachers, because the law didn't have the faith to save the children, need a more positive attitude to accomplish what they get paid for.May the Good LORD bless you all with healing at this time of mourning.
Unimaginable pain...........

You mean they didn't have the b@lls!
It's event time-lines like this that make "conspiracy theories" run rampant. Unbelievable.
To be honest the children in those classrooms had more common sense and good sense than the police here in this entire situation. This is so sad and heartbreaking💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Serve and protect
They literally locked up a building full of children for that monster.
Videos of the police putting parents in handcuffs and pushing them back is just infuriating.
All that equipment they have and for what, for show and tell?
They need to retrain that ENTIRE department or just get rid of them because that could of been ended sooner.
I understand Abbot is paying for all the funerals, but what about the medical bills of the others that survived?
Abbot is paying because he can see the handwriting on the wall.
@@dorothylewis1207 Found out it's not him. It's a private individual, donating to pay for their funerals. He's just announcing it
Can the question be answered, "Who, why, how, did 1 hour or 45 minutes pass before killing shooter? If that had not happened what would that look like, how would this story have ended? Answer the question, be truthful, if you take away the time spent waiting, would the 21 victims been saved? Be transparent about what really happened, lay it out on the line, asap. Dont offer up scapegoats. One or two of the authorities taking the blame & being fired will not resolve what happened that day. Release those 911 calls, get to the bottom of this event. Also, get to the truth about the gunmen, there were red flags; complacent adults; a school mates made it clear that the gunmen was not a victim of bullying; others feared him, What about the business who sold the guns & ammunition? Interview them. What did they think when an 18 kid buys this stuff? Did they have zero intuition that something bad was going to happen? Was the money they made the only thing that mattered? Can they just wash their hands of that day? They did nothing. They said nothing? Where did the kid get the money to make the purchase in the first place? This is like watching the holocaust movies, it horrific, everyone saw, everyone knew, but no one did anything. Complacency kills.
YOU ON POINT. I APPLAUD YOUR COMMENT!!
He was legally allowed to buy the guns as soon as he turned 18.
That's Texas for ya!!
@@paulzammataro7185 feel like Texas and america as whole should hire the limit to legally purchase weapons to 25+

Vote Abbott out Please!
Yep because when you have Democrats in office the cities are much safer. Two prime examples are Chicago and Baltimore. So much Peace
Imagine calling 911 because there is a killer in your house. You're hiding. Cop could save you, but he's scared, so he waits outside.
Imagine not being helpless and relying on yourself for protection in such a scenario. Worth thinking about.
@@beingnecessary3398 I am all for the right to bare arms. However, others are not. They insist we don't need guns because we can just call the cops lol
Now I understand about why those cowardly, political, worthless lawmakers do not want these psychological testing. These politicians fear, if they lose the ability to own, some form of protective tool of massive destruction, (which could and might already be in their hidden possession), these lawmakers fear, if they are found incompetent to own a legal fire arm or even any style of tool used to inflict mass destruction illegally, then to have a seat in their so called precious, cowardice oath of office. Then these cowardly incompetent acts, will be reason to legally removed them from office. Hum🤔, now that is a strong possibility.
Those children that survived this heinous Allowance act, have had a bad taste of facing death, and have lost their friend murdered right in front of their cognitive mindset. On tv when you find out that your friend is about to pass, here children have at least the chance to say good bye and recover from loss of a friend.
In this school shooting and all previous school shootings these children never had the opportunity to say goodbye. When those responsible for allowance of this other 18 year old to commit this heinous act, these children were defenseless, and those children neither had the opportunity to say good bye. These and all the children killed in every present and past scenario only had fear of death at that moment a bullet pierced their vial growing organs and growing mindsets. Even those adult teachers knew the risk of trying to convince the shooter by throwing their body to prevent deadly force being used.
Now how many politicians are gonna take total responsibility for 22 murders caused by allowance, (whether legal or not), for these heinous murders of allowance acts. How many politicians will step up and become a responsible cowardless adult and take Accountability. How many of you people will be able to go asleep without some form of help to sleep (for example: pills, drugs, or/and alcohol)?
Did you watch Gov Abbott's address at all? The first and longest thing he addressed was psychiatric resources and mental health.

@@epinephrinsr71 He also gaffed "It could have been worse." Just shows how much he truly cares...🙄
@@ckwarhola It could have been worse. And that's nothing to roll your eyes about.
My guy watching to much Netflix he’s delirious
Unbelievable that they they didn't go in, they need to be charged and tried in court.
Yes it should cause outrage. This was an awful event as it was, and all those cops stood around and did nothing . It was an off duty federal agent, I heard, who acted much more quickly and killed the murderer.
Commander on scene who delayed intervention - Pedro “Pete” Arredondo (chief of police of school district)
Teacher who left the door propped open after seeing the shooter while she went to get her handphone - still unidentified.
This really confuses me. Why was the door propped open? 🤷♀️
@@melanytodd2929 A teacher wanted to retrieve their cell phone and didn't want to be bothered with having to be let in and out of the building so they propped the door open.
What are the chances he found the door she happened to leave open
@@bengalboypaco3140 Elections in Texas are coming, and you may be asking the wrong questions.
This is so heartbreaking… how could they stand watching .. knowing that wounded children and teachers could have been saved .. Knowing those little ones were brave enough to take their dead teachers phone to call.. My prayers to the school, families , and police officers. Everyone is hurting .
What a disappointment of police officers in Uvalde Tx.... they should be hold accountable for not acting quickly.... What's the point of having police officers in school if they gonna be scared of saving lives.
While taking part in a training program for cops, I found that they are obsessed with the concept of "officer safety". They take this concept to such an extreme, that they clearly believe it to be more important then anyone else's safety. That is like someone saying that they will only join the Marines under the condition that they don't risk any actual harm.
I think you're right.
Cowards
Baby lives were lost due to cowardice from officers trained to be brave how sad
WTF!!?!? What happened to "the only to stop a bad guy with gun is a good guy with gun?" There was 19 "good guys" there and look how many children died. They all have blood on their hands! Shame on them!!!
Prayers for the kids and teachers also families
Where is the chief of police that decided to hold back? Is he hiding? Mr. Abbott spoke to soon; he should have waited until all the facts were verified.
BET IF THERE WAS AN "OFFICER DOWN" THEY WOULD HAVE RAN INSIDE!
You know how many videos there are of a Cop being overly aggressive, and bullying during a routine traffic stop, but when it’s an active shooter, they hide behind cars in the parking lot. I have no tolerance for cowardly cops.
Blessings to the person that donated $175,000 for the funeral expenses! So very sweet and thoughtful of you! 💛❤️
Its the national police directive. "Officer Safety". Its the thin blue line. They are more important than us. Been that way for a long time. This incident only makes it obvious to those who didnt know before.
There is NO excuse at all for doing nothing to stop this monster!! They should’ve let those parents do the job for them if they were that scared.
They were scared to go in bottom line
I can just imagine the rage the parents must feel to be restrained from these cowards, only to be left with the regret of not doing more. Then given a stupid answer as to why no one tried to save their kids!! I'm outraged for them 😡
All these cops running around trying to look like Navy Seals afraid to go in, but the parents and civilians would have rushed in to save them with nothing.
Imagine anyone admiting to your boss that you gave the wrong report because someone gave that information to you,you just announced it without cross reference ... we all will be fire
There goes the argument of "good guy with a gun".
Uvalde will forever be remembered for brave children and cowardly cops.
These cops need to be charged. This is blatant negligence of duty. Their job is to protect and serve. We can not keep letting law enforcement agents divert justice.
They do protect and serve...... their own kind!!!!!!
Uvalde officers were low on donuts so they had to take a tactical lunch to refuel and recharge while the kids held the line. After a leisurely lunch they triumphantly strode in to see that Border Patrol took care of it. Thanks Uvalde PD
And what instructions did dispatchers give to callers? 911 plays a bigger role than you might think, and I know. For many years I worked behind the scenes as a senior Emergency Communications Officer, Hostage Negotiator and Emergency Medical Technician and I'm saying we need to know what they told them to do.
BS.
Doesn’t matter 19 officers stood outside the classroom door hearing each and every shot ring out. They knew exactly what was happening
I rather die a hero than die a COWARD!!!!
Someone needs to leak the radio traffic audio. I'd love to know if they knew there were still 911 calls from the classroom they had 19 officers outside of.
@Me Myself and Fries One 11 year old survivor named Miah said "It felt like 3 hours for the police to come." She also revealed as her teacher & friends laid there bleeding that she could hear the police talking outside. Just so awful.
Which outrage is bigger -- 1. the local police messed up, or 2. the gunman was able to purchase a hand-held weapon of mass destruction as effortlessly as I can buy a gallon of milk at the local grocery store ???
agree - simply no reason for these AR machine guns to be in the general population.
What are you talking about you don't have to do a background check and wait two weeks for milk
Wow you've got some pretty strict grocery stores near you to ask you to pass a federal background check for a gallon of milk. Switch supermarkets.
He bought the guns online. You don't have to register a gun in Texas but you have to register a car. Smh.
@@ckwarhola are you serious? Lmfao
Mistakes? No. Sorry. Done purposefully is more like it.
Bottom line to the cops: 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders were not worth risking my life for.
It is coming out that the damn cops were going in to rescue their own kids, ignoring the rest of the kids.
Texas sucks if it lets this go by without consequences!!!
The police do their best to spin the story to their favor. The do their best to use less than critical words to describe the "mistake" made by the PD.
45 Minutes?? That's outrageous! For those children that probably felt like HOURS!
These cops are cowardly to the core. Still, they will keep their jobs and pensions.
They were "Gillette" men.
Let the lawsuits fly folks!!!!!
I’m disgusted by these police. Shame on them for not doing anything and preventing parents from getting to their children. There needs to be accountability and consequences.
My condolences to all the families.
So, let me get this straight. It took federal border patrol to take care of the problem. Local law enforcement was and obviously is utterly USELESS. Fire them all, now! How can anyone expect these parents to live in this community with these officers still "protecting" them and their remaining family members. Not to finish the fact of them drawing a pay check on these people's taxes. Unfathomable.
Don't want to hear anything about chain of command. Brave men and women do what is necessary, when it is necessary. And, if they can't they get out of the way so someone else can. When it comes y children they deal with the "rules' and or consequences after the fact, period.
