@@renenowicki never gonna happen, the system is to corrupt to fix it's time for people to start seeking their own personal vengeance against bad cops, including violent retribution
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.
THEY are trying to rewrite history. We all know what happen. These people are trying to WHITEWASH what happened. The cops were busy keeping the parents at bay, but not breaching the door.
If a group of my friends and I set up an armed perimeter and prevented people from stopping a criminal who was murdering children for an hour, we'd be prosecuted as accessories to the murders. So why the F are the pigs who did EXACTLY the same thing not being arrested and charged?
This is disgusting. They cuffed parents for trying to get their own kids. The cops snuck in to save their children! And waited an hour to actually go in. And now they lie lie lie. I’m sick
Coward cops let those children die and of course Abbott was so proud of the officers who saved the lives of so many children; besides the 21 people who died… it’s disgusting
Supporting the cops is culture-war stuff. The facts are irrelevant. The cops could have personally killed the kids, and Abbott would still have to be dragged from a position of supporting the brave boys in blue.
The misery of knowing your child was being butchered by an AR-15 while the cops yell at you to stay out of it and force you to stay out and they hang outside chewing gum is beyond anyones understanding 🤬
I can't wrap my head around cops going in, rescuing THEIR kids and no one elses?! How is this even possible? Leaving other kids behind? This needs to be investigated. Especially when they were holding the parents back from rescuing their kids!
Two issues come to mind: * A bunch of cowards behind a badge with a macho man persona. * Non thinking drones just following orders to not go in and numbingly follow the orders. Most likely a mix of the two here in this case; this department. NOT A MAN AMONG THEM; NOT ONE....
Or said that someone in the school was misgendering a transgender fourth grader. Beto would have run in and handled the matter with compassion and flair.
Let me just say this…imagine telling a parent that lost their child in this atrocity that, “it cudve been worse”……….honestly, anyone reading this….just picture urself telling a parent who lost their precious child that things cudve been worse………………………………..I love the great state of Texas and I pray to God they get the proper leadership that they all truly need and deserve.
When I was 20, I lived in the same apartment complex as my child’s mom. These people robbed a store, were chased by several police into the complex. Turns out they were my child’s moms upstairs neighbor. It was a barricade situation and I was begging them (police) to let me grab my child’s mom and 2 year old daughter from their apartment, for obvious reasons. They refused over and over. I talked to their sergeant, who finally allowed me to go grab them. This was 16 years ago. I didn’t understand it then, dont now. If cops are not willing to run in and save your loved ones then dammit they better step out of your way.
Imagine the last moments of your ten year old life is on the phone with 911 asking why the police in the hallway won't come in and save you. Maybe the worst way to die I've ever heard of.
...while the shooter is saying to them, "it's time to die"! It sounds like a strange Steven King movie. Where officers and the evil "bad guys" work in concert to perpetuate evil.
@O. B. the fact that the kid was so mangled by a war weapon in a classroom and they need parents DNA to make sure? yeah! I can't imagine what those parents are going thru.
Why is it so difficult for the 19 cops to admit they are scared of dying ? The people know that's the true reason why they didn't storm into the classroom to rescue those kids. Anything else is a lie.
Wow, they really take that “blue lives matter” mess seriously, right? Can’t save the REMAINDER of the live kids until we have a tactical unit on the scene. And apparently they cuffed and/or pepper sprayed parents who were trying to move toward the shooter as those cowards should have done. Absolutely despicable. There needs to be a thorough investigation and people need to be fired and prosecuted for shirking their responsibility to PROTECT AND SERVE.

An army of cops dressed in body armor (many of whom doubtless previously served in the military) is too chickensh-t to take on one untrained teenager. Of course, it isn't just cowardice that caused this debacle, it's the absurd belief that a cop's life is worth more than an ordinary citizen's.
Even if the police thought the shooter was no longer "active," they should have known that there were certainly small children lying in their own blood, dying every minute that help did not arrive. By the police's most recent timeline, the shooter was in the school for one hour and 25 minutes before he was shot. They heard the gunfire. Why did they not think of the dying children?
It's so incredibly disheartening to see people defending these cops. 19 cops need to wait an hour and 25 minutes for border patrol and a "tactical advantage" because you're unwilling to risk your lives. Then they had the audacity to come out immediately after and call themselves heroes. There's no way any of those 19 cops went to bed that night thinking of themselves as heroes. I don't believe anyone is that brainwashed.
Once when I was in third grade and we were on lockdown and our teacher said she would die then let anyone hurt us and we believed her no doubt and these children probably were only protected by the teachers who gave their lives then the cops who waited outside. Teachers deserve the budget cops get since you obviously want them to be experienced in combat
They weren’t just “good guys with guns”. They were the supposedly well trained, well armed and certainly the relatively well paid government officers commissioned to do this job.
@@peternixon1460 I don't think the affluence of the area would change their behavior but it would have an impact on the consequences. Marjorie Stoneman Douglas is in an affluent area of South Florida and the one school cop who didn't go in was vilified and I believe lost his job. Parents here are going to need legal help to make their local authorities "pay" for this, if they have the stomach to fight after losing their children.
Shameful cowardice, selfish disregard for the lives of the children that weren't theirs. Using weapons on and detaining the public, most of them with children at immediate risk from a shooter is astonishingly wasting time and resources whilst creating total panic for no reason.
It's amazing how "tough" police-officers seem to be when it's an unarmed Black man, and how deadly force becomes a first option. When they should have employed deadly force, to actually save these children, these "police officers" seemed to have only employed force against concerned parents.
@@americanhomeownerwithajob6940 What a ridiculous comment. I'm a senior citizen, retired after 37 years of working a professional job, happily married for as many years, raised two great kids, and I came from a two-parent loving household myself. It isn't a matter of hating cops. It's about hating incompetency and outright dishonesty. Law enforcement should be held accountable when they mess up. And they messed up big time in Texas on Tuesday.
Should put these cops and Abbott in the situation those children were in. Terrible to say that it could have been worse. Reminds me of someone saying the same thing when tons of Americans died from COVID. Absolutely disgusting.
"Yell help if you need help!" 😱😱😱 that's literally the worst thing you can do in an active shooter situation! How on earth did the cop think that was a good idea!!!???
@@TheWraith7 They were grazed AND they were not trying to enter a classroom or the school. They were in the parking lot with the shooter. However, I can conclude from your statement that people shouldn't be able to own military grade weapons used in war when officers cannot protect the communities nor themselves because their weapons are inferior? Make that make sense
they get 6 wks of training man, its a system wide failure. i think in germany their officers only get to be officers after 2 or 3 yrs of LE schoolings, its like a degree there. disgusting, imagine being one of the coward POSs that saved his own kids 8 minutes after 911 was called
That is the worst part of all this the police in this situation definitely abandoned those children and I hope they have nightmares about it for a very long time.
Some residents have been saying they have always had problems with the police department. Look how they treated these parents who wanted to do something they wouldn't do. Save their kids.
I am pretty sure every town has a problem with the local police/LE. In all my travels, i have never heard a stranger advocate to me sincerely in support of their local LEOs. their meter maids with guns. all the reall police work ends up being solved by feds or at least detectives.
You would think that they would just say, "the kid had a freaking assault rifle, we didn't want to get blood on our fancy hats". Beto said it best "this was predictable".
They just can't figure out a nice way to say they were too scared follow through with what they signed up for. They knew for a fact it wasn't like shooting an unarmed civilian reaching for their license.
Too many greedy cowards want to be police officers. We need to have more professional police officers instead of these racist-centric overtime grabbers.
Police threatened parents for their concern and focused their attention on reprimanding and threatening them instead of rushing into the building to save the children This is shameful and unacceptable. How can this community ever respect their police when they wouldn’t let parents go in and the police wouldn’t go in either. The children were sitting ducks. Let the parents do the policing of their children in schools

@@jrkr7357 everyone is scared of dying. It's natural for humans to be scared. So then, why become a cop? For some weird fetishism over guns? Better yet, for the power that these people lord over everyone else without any restrictions or corrections. They have full indemnity. Those cops that tazed those parents pleading with them and the mother who was handcuffed as their children died, yep, they were the "good guys with guns ", and absolutely no guts only bravado against defenseless parents. That's their legacy. I hope Uvalde holds everyone in charge with their feet to the fire for change
When are reports going to call these traitors liars to their face? When are they going to treat Republicans how they treat all of us? Being a reporter today is so important and use that power to shame these liars? Embarrass them make them answer for their actions.
Republicans? What planet you from? Democrats are actively destroying the country and censoring and ruining the lives of anyone who disagrees with they're narrative. We see you for the communist you are, and thankfully we are armed to the teeth
You cannot shame people who have no moral standard. They just keep going lower. Look at Cruz. He let trump insult his wife on national tv, threw his daughters under the bus when he got caught running off to a warm comfortable Mexico resort, despite claiming they are invading America, and got caught on camera eating his own booger....just to bring up a few incidents.....how do you shame THAT guy?!?
Exactly. They need to be called liars. For days they been lying to our faces, trying to paint a rosey picture. Praising themselves for acting swiftly. Smh
I think a separate agency should come in and investigate this incident. The public needs to know what happened, especially if the GOP is using this incident to institute policies that will just lead to more of these tragedies.
Their only 'quick response' was to protect themselves, run when fired upon, and stand, as armed grown men, and wait for people with shields, while unarmed and completely vulnerable 10 yr. old kids spent their last moments in unimaginable fear and horror, desperately hoping that someone would save them as they watched their friends and teachers die, knowing they were likely next. National outrage isn't enough here. Do it by mail, in person, early, or by absentee ballot...Vote people, like your kids lives depend on it. 🥺😭😡
They don’t have a problem getting violent with unarmed parents but not violent with the shooter, I have zero respect and believe not one word from Police 👮♀️ , they do in fact in most situations escalate things.
They protect the "bad guy" to collect overtime. All their actions are about "pay", how many times do we have to see them engage in order to understand their motivation. Stop the overtime, and extra pay and police unions, and we will have a more reasonable police force.
There will be lawsuits, but we also need to call or write our legislators and demand action. They need to close all the gun purchase, background check, red flag laws, ghost guns,v and domestic violence loopholes.
If they go to the supreme Court the Court has already ruled that is not an officer's job to protect the citizen. I know it sucks but that's who they are.
I can’t imagine the families of those murdered want to hear that it could have been worse. It’s as bad as it can be for them. If the armed officer was not there, where was he? Was there supposed to be an officer? I seem to remember at the press conference the sheriff said, ‘he was driving nearby.’
You nailed it. If the shooter instead had been a young woman seeking an abortion, even out of state, Abbott's goons would have tracked her down. But since he was only buying a couple of weapons of mass destruction at the ripe old age of 18, good for him!
@@veinsofafricanblood7519 I'm relieved you agree that killing born babies is evil. What are you going to do about it? To start, do you want to make sure it's illegal to buy weapons of war, like the guns most mass shooters use? How about tracking owners of assault weapons like many Republicans want to track women who may be seeking abortions? How about offering rewards for turning in gun owners who don't store their guns properly?
If they're going to lie and contradict the eye witnesses and their phone videos, you'd think they'd make an effort to get their stories the same. I'm glad they didn't, because now we can all see how inept law enforcement was at doing their job. Citizens had more courage than those cops.
Imagine living with the trauma and loss all your life. Change the constitution and BAN guns from ordinary citizens. Stop unnecessary deaths. This will curb all kinds of terror and violence.
Just don’t understand how someone can walk into a school from the street? The school near my house has high security fences & a gate that’s only opened in morning & afternoon with security present. Nobody can visit a school without an appointment & your net & allowed in by security at the gate.
Agreed. I want to see a powerhouse DA go after accountability, like the response after Kenosha shootings. Remember that one? Not even six months ago? This is madness.
@@pattydonohue5452 if your country doesnt ban guns there will be another massacre and we all know that police wont do anything cops are done they will arrest you but not protect you
Every cop who was present at this scene of mass murder of innocent children should made accountable for what the would not do. They should all be fired.
I am ashamed of and embarrassed for these cops who couldn't muster the courage to do their job. A shot gun would have breeched the class room door that the police claim was locked and couldn't get through.. They didn't want to breach the door.. its easier to wait until the freak has run out of victims - by that time SWAT will arrive... Jesus, what a sad day for leo's.
Unbelievable... If gunshots are STILL HEARD, there is still an active shooter! What a bunch of idiots!!! How could they think that the suspect was just barricaded, no danger to the kids or teachers???
Just cannot believe those poor children in there with that killer for 80 minutes, honestly breaks my heart,I deeply pray for them,and hope the Angel's had a hold on them
That lawsuit is about to be historical, not only from the parents who lost their babies but those parents who were being detained and blocked from getting their babies.
The cops could have used the same energy on the shooter that they used against the parents. They are so trigger happy against unarmed drivers at a traffic stop, but take no action when lives are actually in danger.
All the police in that town should be fired and sued by the parents along with the state of Texas, Abbott, Patrick and all Republicans in the state legislature!
Whoever thought it was a good idea to stand these big Caucasian guys with 10-gallon cowboy hats in the background isn't reading the room. The dozens of "good guys with guns" didn't do sh!t on Tuesday. This is absolutely horrific.
Greg Abbott and all Republicans who think the deaths of (ONLY) 19 children was a best-case scenario and they actually saved others from being killed have no idea how heartbreaking this kind of justification is. If your child is killed in the future will you feel thankful that he/she was the only victim? I don't think so.
Cops: "I shot that unarmed guy because I feared for my life" -- the next day -- "I didn't shoot that crazy armed guy because I feared for my life" Me: -.-
In the words of Brian Bilston England is a cup of tea. France, a wheel of ripened brie. Greece, a short, squat olive tree. America is a gun. Brazil is football on the sand. Argentina, Maradona's hand. Germany, an oompah band. America is a gun. Holland is a wooden shoe. Hungary, a goulash stew. Australia, a kangaroo. America is a gun. Japan is a thermal spring. Scotland is a highland fling. Oh, better to be anything than America as a gun.
The saddest part of this is knowing that even right NOW, at this very moment, the next mass shooter is doing due diligence, surveillance and research, preparing for the next attack. Even as we speak, there is another one gearing up his flack jacket and loading his magazine.
Kids should refuse to return to class. Teachers should refuse to go back to work. Cops should refuse to put on their uniforms. The people have the power here. If they all worked together to demand a ban on assault rifles, ban high capacity magazines, and mandatory background checks etc it would all pass within 2 weeks.
The police were at the school almost immediately. But they were advised by a supervisor to stay in the hallway for nearly 45 mins while the shooter shot victims and 911 calls arrived. Total stupidity.
Notice how they don't want to play the 911 tapes - so we can't hear the little girl begging for help as shots are being fired and the cops are standing around
I'm sure they will release those soon. Sometimes it takes a while... But I am glad some of the kids are sharing what they saw with their parents support. Maybe if we hear the truth from the mouths of babes we will FINALLY actually do something about this 🤦🏻♀️🙏🏼✌🏼
This is so infuriating and I feel horrible for the parents that were being held back by police for wanting to save their children. I hope karma destroys all the LEO’s involved.
This whole story makes no sense. If a shooter ran into a school full of children and people were well aware of it why did it take an hour to find where he was to engage if he was allegedly barricaded somewhere, presumably without CHILDREN for some reason despite school being in session? They waited for other people with better ammo, armor and experience bcuz they knew this guy would just gun them down. AR 15s shouldn't be available to literally any 18 year old with money for it IMO.
@@rw9573 in case that's a serious question ... because the f-ing GOP make it wayyy too easy to get a gun. An 18 year old should not be able to buy ANY gun, let alone an assault riffle.
now is not the time to talk about solutions we are way to close to the next school shooting and people need the time to prepare to grieve and offer prayers
Cops, standing around with that "i'm a cop and i'm tough, and you're not" look on their faces, assaulting parents who are willing to do what the cops won't do (their job), while kids are dying inside the school. And the cops expect us to treat them as if they are something special? Pffffffft. FTPigs.
Americans need to ask themselves; if this was a class of young rich white children would it it be the same response and action by Republicans and the Police? Time for a change.
the other day when I was watching the news report the reporter was standing there behind her there were cops laughing and joking you think they have a problem looking anybody in eye now. They don't care. They see themselves as heroes. They did their job they pepper sprayed the parents.
I just imagine all the footage shot of all these officers water-coolering it around in there battle gear like they were making a difference. What a joke.
A national police incident database is one of the first steps we can take to try to understand police accountability. After 9/11 we had no problem setting up a new federal security service - DHS - and completely reorganizing the entier security sector. Why is it so difficult to collect data from police departments?
Best way to avoid this in the future: Allow any teachers, admin who qualify for C&C to do so. This avoids there being uniformed cops (who would be the initial target) while also keeping the atmosphere academic and casual. Additionally, any attacker wouldn’t know who is armed, so any one school wouldn’t have a soft target appearance.
The Grandmother was shot one mile from the school. The school should have been called and locked down before the shooter ever got there. No one notified the school.
I feel so deeply for the families here. Nothing could be worse for them, im sure,but now having to hear the lies and excuses for why the police didnt do more or act sooner is added. They left the kids fend for themselves inside that room. Its unbelievable that people still trust the police. Keep giving them money to buy tanks and equipment so they can use it for photo shoots. And when the police are most expected to do their jobs they fail.
In Columbine, apparently the police had to be repeatedly sued for information by the parents. At one point they numbered all the pages of evidence, THEN removed thousands of pages. And then handed that over with an obvious numerical gap in the middle, and thought no one would notice. They also made copies of a "training tape" the cops had made, which was really just a video they had taken of the library (after the bodies had been removed) and the audio had been replaced with Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You". After the families got access to the tape, they were charged $25 each by the cops to cover the cost of "making copies."
This governor is cold and callous. It could have been worse?? He’s absolutely insane. One child dead is one too many.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢Oh God please give them all peace 🙏🏼
Not only could they hear it, they knew that some of those gunshots inside the room weren't aimed in their direction, which means, he was probably killing kids. One kid in the room told an eyewitness account of how the cops asked the kids to yell for help if they needed it, and when one of the kids yelled for help, he went over to where she was hiding and killed her. I'm sure the cops were well aware that there were kinds inside, so they were willfully sitting on their thumbs.
The cops were unable and unwilling to deal with the shooter so they directed their impotent rage at the nearest thing...the unarmed panicking and angry parents. The easy target that was no threat to them. Like when someone gets humiliated by someone they fear so they smack their spouse when they get home.
It's not a coincidence that instances of DV are so high in Police families. This is what happens when you don't perform regular psych evaluations of people who only want to be in this job to exert control over others and abuse people.
@@ct5625 It's more than a lack of psych evals, particularly in this instance. Police do endure the worst humanity has to offer on a regular basis. It's difficult to be subjected to darkness daily and not have seep into your own being. There are a multitude of factors working in concert to create these issues but as humans we try to simplify it down to "Well, if we just did X this wouldn't happen." Reality is these dynamics are complex and involve a number of factors conspiring together. In this instance the police didn't know what to do, were under immense pressure to do something but were not equipped to process and work through the fear, stress and complexity of the situation. There's leadership failures, policy and procedure failures, an apparent lack of training for this type of situation, and a lack of professional behavior under stressful circumstances. It's a small town so I'm willing to bet they never thought it would happen here so any training or TTP's that were conducted and established were probably treated as a check the block exercise.
I bet they all have the huge pickups with the oversized tires. And the thin blue line decals, American flag decals, Trump bumper stickers. Bonus points if they have 3% bumper stickers and truck nuts.
I knew from the start that the story about the "resource officer being over powered" did not sound like the truth or he would have been calling for back up himself.
18:12 It truly is amazing how flexible the phrase "We feared for our lives" can be when you're a cop. It can excuse you when you murder an unarmed civilian, as well as excuse you from stopping an armed gunman. Cops are just scared, like all the time. Scared little babies... It's not like they have advanced training for these situ or anything...
Same thing happened at Virginia Tech. Cops got accolades for standing around outside assessing rumors that the shooter had boobytrapped the building, etc. Meanwhile, one little Asian guy, barely 5'6" tall, shot 32 people to death inside the building.
This is the problem with the "good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun" argument, do you really want to die for a person you do not know? As the loitering actions of the 20 police officers show, the good guy with a gun is only good for defending himself not for some stranger that is not his own children. Would he sacrifice his ability to see his own children in order to save someone else's? The actions of the Uvalda police and Parkland security guard say "No."
I think most people would without hesitation put themselves at risk whether or not they were their own children, totally blows the rediculous argument of police being at schools will stop the slaughtering of defenseless innocent people.

The parents should've said that someone in the school was getting an abortion. The cops would've rushed in then.
No, there was someone in there with a gun.
Or said that someone in the school was misgendering a transgender fourth grader. Beto would have run in and handled the matter with compassion and flair.
I bet if it was called in as a chase/ wrecked vehicle and the driver RAN , they would have gone in guns blazing!
I bet if it was a white school they would of went in. ...

Let me just say this…imagine telling a parent that lost their child in this atrocity that, “it cudve been worse”……….honestly, anyone reading this….just picture urself telling a parent who lost their precious child that things cudve been worse………………………………..I love the great state of Texas and I pray to God they get the proper leadership that they all truly need and deserve.
I can’t I cried just reading your comment no way he should have said such looser words
oh yeah, texas...great place....right....long long history of greatness....right...
When I was 20, I lived in the same apartment complex as my child’s mom. These people robbed a store, were chased by several police into the complex. Turns out they were my child’s moms upstairs neighbor. It was a barricade situation and I was begging them (police) to let me grab my child’s mom and 2 year old daughter from their apartment, for obvious reasons. They refused over and over. I talked to their sergeant, who finally allowed me to go grab them. This was 16 years ago. I didn’t understand it then, dont now. If cops are not willing to run in and save your loved ones then dammit they better step out of your way.
Imagine the last moments of your ten year old life is on the phone with 911 asking why the police in the hallway won't come in and save you.
Maybe the worst way to die I've ever heard of.
Or the 911 despatcher in Buffalo hanging up!
Some children probably suffered heart failure during all the turmoil and torture...oh so sad...😞😔
You can add that some parents had to provide DNA to be able to identify there children.
...while the shooter is saying to them, "it's time to die"! It sounds like a strange Steven King movie. Where officers and the evil "bad guys" work in concert to perpetuate evil.
@O. B. the fact that the kid was so mangled by a war weapon in a classroom and they need parents DNA to make sure? yeah!
I can't imagine what those parents are going thru.
It could have been worse? Not for the 19 childrens parents or the family of the 2 teachers. Are they supposed to be grateful to the cowardly cops?
How about the boy who was allowed to buy an assault weapon?
And the NRA, gun-nuts, and republicans did nothing...
REPEAL the 2nd Amendment
I want to know the autopsy report on the shooter.
And the husband of the teacher who had a heart attack..
Why is it so difficult for the 19 cops to admit they are scared of dying ?
The people know that's the true reason why they didn't storm into the classroom to rescue those kids. Anything else is a lie.
Wow, they really take that “blue lives matter” mess seriously, right? Can’t save the REMAINDER of the live kids until we have a tactical unit on the scene. And apparently they cuffed and/or pepper sprayed parents who were trying to move toward the shooter as those cowards should have done. Absolutely despicable. There needs to be a thorough investigation and people need to be fired and prosecuted for shirking their responsibility to PROTECT AND SERVE.
Not only that, the woman took the liberty to save her OWN children!

An army of cops dressed in body armor (many of whom doubtless previously served in the military) is too chickensh-t to take on one untrained teenager. Of course, it isn't just cowardice that caused this debacle, it's the absurd belief that a cop's life is worth more than an ordinary citizen's.
was not a tac unit,, just standard US border patrol,, NO cops involved in the entry and killing the threat,,, NOT cops,, just cowards
Even if the police thought the shooter was no longer "active," they should have known that there were certainly small children lying in their own blood, dying every minute that help did not arrive. By the police's most recent timeline, the shooter was in the school for one hour and 25 minutes before he was shot. They heard the gunfire. Why did they not think of the dying children?
It's so incredibly disheartening to see people defending these cops. 19 cops need to wait an hour and 25 minutes for border patrol and a "tactical advantage" because you're unwilling to risk your lives. Then they had the audacity to come out immediately after and call themselves heroes. There's no way any of those 19 cops went to bed that night thinking of themselves as heroes. I don't believe anyone is that brainwashed.
Once when I was in third grade and we were on lockdown and our teacher said she would die then let anyone hurt us and we believed her no doubt and these children probably were only protected by the teachers who gave their lives then the cops who waited outside. Teachers deserve the budget cops get since you obviously want them to be experienced in combat
Those police officers and officials should be ASHAMED when they cash this months paycheck 😔
It's not their kids in boxes why would they care those spineless cowards will Cash their checks paid by the same parents they failed

Parents here are going to need legal help to make their local authorities "pay" for this, if they have the stomach to fight after losing their children.
And yet they helped that terrorist do his job what a scam stop the nonsense ban guns and start to defund law enforcement YOU pay them for nothing
There seems to be a lot of cowards outside the school, stopping parents from saving their children.
They're all hat, no balls...
I'm not surprised trump supporters are cowards most cops are Republicans
And, if recent reports are accurate, law officers went in to get their own children out instead of doing the job were entrusted to do .
Shameful cowardice, selfish disregard for the lives of the children that weren't theirs. Using weapons on and detaining the public, most of them with children at immediate risk from a shooter is astonishingly wasting time and resources whilst creating total panic for no reason.
It's amazing how "tough" police-officers seem to be when it's an unarmed Black man, and how deadly force becomes a first option. When they should have employed deadly force, to actually save these children, these "police officers" seemed to have only employed force against concerned parents.
Absolutely.

Make that make sense
they get 6 wks of training man, its a system wide failure. i think in germany their officers only get to be officers after 2 or 3 yrs of LE schoolings, its like a degree there. disgusting, imagine being one of the coward POSs that saved his own kids 8 minutes after 911 was called
Really?! What makes this different is that we have our cell phones. These people recorded the scene. These cell phones don't lie
This makes me sick. We tell our kids to call 911 and the police will help you. They were abandoned.
That is the worst part of all this the police in this situation definitely abandoned those children and I hope they have nightmares about it for a very long time.
Horrifying. Those poor babies.
Some residents have been saying they have always had problems with the police department. Look how they treated these parents who wanted to do something they wouldn't do. Save their kids.
I am pretty sure every town has a problem with the local police/LE. In all my travels, i have never heard a stranger advocate to me sincerely in support of their local LEOs. their meter maids with guns. all the reall police work ends up being solved by feds or at least detectives.
You would think that they would just say, "the kid had a freaking assault rifle, we didn't want to get blood on our fancy hats". Beto said it best "this was predictable".
They just can't figure out a nice way to say they were too scared follow through with what they signed up for. They knew for a fact it wasn't like shooting an unarmed civilian reaching for their license.
Tuff guys when you have a stick or a rock.
Well, yeah, but those cops look really manly in their cowboy hats. SMH.
Tragic, what else can I say, pussyfooting around cuz the shooter had weapons of military quality
Police are brave as long as they have a gun around peaceful people. That's the impression that many many people have had for a very long time
Too many greedy cowards want to be police officers. We need to have more professional police officers instead of these racist-centric overtime grabbers.
Police threatened parents for their concern and focused their attention on reprimanding and threatening them instead of rushing into the building to save the children This is shameful and unacceptable. How can this community ever respect their police when they wouldn’t let parents go in and the police wouldn’t go in either. The children were sitting ducks. Let the parents do the policing of their children in schools
They have the ultimate courage to react to unarmed black people

Those cops that tazed those parents pleading with them and the mother who was handcuffed as their children died, yep, they were the "good guys with guns ", and absolutely no guts only bravado against defenseless parents. That's their legacy. I hope Uvalde holds everyone in charge with their feet to the fire for change

You cannot shame people who have no moral standard. They just keep going lower. Look at Cruz. He let trump insult his wife on national tv, threw his daughters under the bus when he got caught running off to a warm comfortable Mexico resort, despite claiming they are invading America, and got caught on camera eating his own booger....just to bring up a few incidents.....how do you shame THAT guy?!?
Exactly. They need to be called liars. For days they been lying to our faces, trying to paint a rosey picture. Praising themselves for acting swiftly. Smh
I think a separate agency should come in and investigate this incident. The public needs to know what happened, especially if the GOP is using this incident to institute policies that will just lead to more of these tragedies.
Their only 'quick response' was to protect themselves, run when fired upon, and stand, as armed grown men, and wait for people with shields, while unarmed and completely vulnerable 10 yr. old kids spent their last moments in unimaginable fear and horror, desperately hoping that someone would save them as they watched their friends and teachers die, knowing they were likely next. National outrage isn't enough here. Do it by mail, in person, early, or by absentee ballot...Vote people, like your kids lives depend on it. 🥺😭😡
They don’t have a problem getting violent with unarmed parents but not violent with the shooter, I have zero respect and believe not one word from Police 👮♀️ , they do in fact in most situations escalate things.
They protect the "bad guy" to collect overtime. All their actions are about "pay", how many times do we have to see them engage in order to understand their motivation. Stop the overtime, and extra pay and police unions, and we will have a more reasonable police force.
This is one of the most incompetent things I have ever seen in my life.
I hope there are lawsuits. Forget about protests, forget about pleading on the floor of Congress, start the lawsuits.
There will be MANY, MANY lawsuits to come from this.
There will be lawsuits, but we also need to call or write our legislators and demand action. They need to close all the gun purchase, background check, red flag laws, ghost guns,v and domestic violence loopholes.

I can’t imagine the families of those murdered want to hear that it could have been worse. It’s as bad as it can be for them. If the armed officer was not there, where was he? Was there supposed to be an officer? I seem to remember at the press conference the sheriff said, ‘he was driving nearby.’
The police would have responded quicker but gregg Abbott had them chasing women around making sure they aren’t going to get abortions
Msnbc starts enough false rumors, you don’t need to add to it.
Yep.
You nailed it. If the shooter instead had been a young woman seeking an abortion, even out of state, Abbott's goons would have tracked her down. But since he was only buying a couple of weapons of mass destruction at the ripe old age of 18, good for him!
Killing babies born or unborn is evil.
@@veinsofafricanblood7519 I'm relieved you agree that killing born babies is evil. What are you going to do about it? To start, do you want to make sure it's illegal to buy weapons of war, like the guns most mass shooters use?

How about offering rewards for turning in gun owners who don't store their guns properly?
" It could have been worse"? This is sickening beyond any measure.
I know when I heard that wow usa is crazy beyond measure
If they're going to lie and contradict the eye witnesses and their phone videos, you'd think they'd make an effort to get their stories the same. I'm glad they didn't, because now we can all see how inept law enforcement was at doing their job. Citizens had more courage than those cops.

19 officers out in the hallway, 19 dead children. Pretty clear which lives they were more interested in saving.
My thing is, didn’t the police hear the continuous gunshots? Why would they think he wasn’t an active shooter?
Oh, they did hear those gunshots. So did the parents outside.
This ineptitude will all come out in following weeks.
The saddest part of this is knowing that even right NOW, at this very moment, the next mass shooter is doing due diligence, surveillance and research, preparing for the next attack. Even as we speak, there is another one gearing up his flack jacket and loading his magazine.
Kids should refuse to return to class. Teachers should refuse to go back to work. Cops should refuse to put on their uniforms.
The people have the power here. If they all worked together to demand a ban on assault rifles, ban high capacity magazines, and mandatory background checks etc it would all pass within 2 weeks.
And using military grade weapons to do so.
The police were at the school almost immediately. But they were advised by a supervisor to stay in the hallway for nearly 45 mins while the shooter shot victims and 911 calls arrived. Total stupidity.
Pure and simple cowardice!
coward cops. how are those republican gun laws working out?
No, they took 18 minutes to reach the school from their station just one mile away. They could have got there faster on foot.
Not stupidity willful allowances did y'all forget who stormed the capital
They were going to allow it until the 911 calls stopped.
Notice how they don't want to play the 911 tapes - so we can't hear the little girl begging for help as shots are being fired and the cops are standing around
I'm sure they will release those soon. Sometimes it takes a while... But I am glad some of the kids are sharing what they saw with their parents support. Maybe if we hear the truth from the mouths of babes we will FINALLY actually do something about this 🤦🏻♀️🙏🏼✌🏼

the other day when I was watching the news report the reporter was standing there behind her there were cops laughing and joking you think they have a problem looking anybody in eye now. They don't care. They see themselves as heroes. They did their job they pepper sprayed the parents.
I just imagine all the footage shot of all these officers water-coolering it around in there battle gear like they were making a difference. What a joke.
A national police incident database is one of the first steps we can take to try to understand police accountability. After 9/11 we had no problem setting up a new federal security service - DHS - and completely reorganizing the entier security sector. Why is it so difficult to collect data from police departments?
Best way to avoid this in the future:
Allow any teachers, admin who qualify for C&C to do so. This avoids there being uniformed cops (who would be the initial target) while also keeping the atmosphere academic and casual. Additionally, any attacker wouldn’t know who is armed, so any one school wouldn’t have a soft target appearance.
The Grandmother was shot one mile from the school. The school should have been called and locked down before the shooter ever got there. No one notified the school.
I heard she did and the funeral home too! They are doing damage control!
That is an observation, maybe that is a reason to bolster security at that point, not hours later. This has been the pattern.
I feel so deeply for the families here. Nothing could be worse for them, im sure,but now having to hear the lies and excuses for why the police didnt do more or act sooner is added. They left the kids fend for themselves inside that room. Its unbelievable that people still trust the police. Keep giving them money to buy tanks and equipment so they can use it for photo shoots. And when the police are most expected to do their jobs they fail.
How about the boy who was allowed to buy an assault weapon?
And the NRA, gun-nuts, and republicans did nothing...
REPEAL the 2nd Amendment
In Columbine, apparently the police had to be repeatedly sued for information by the parents. At one point they numbered all the pages of evidence, THEN removed thousands of pages. And then handed that over with an obvious numerical gap in the middle, and thought no one would notice.
They also made copies of a "training tape" the cops had made, which was really just a video they had taken of the library (after the bodies had been removed) and the audio had been replaced with Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You". After the families got access to the tape, they were charged $25 each by the cops to cover the cost of "making copies."

You would think the officers had a bodycam of what happened ? Wait a second - they do ! Time to expose some cowards !
Were they waiting for the shooter to run out of ammunition? They could here the shots while they waited outside.
Not only could they hear it, they knew that some of those gunshots inside the room weren't aimed in their direction, which means, he was probably killing kids. One kid in the room told an eyewitness account of how the cops asked the kids to yell for help if they needed it, and when one of the kids yelled for help, he went over to where she was hiding and killed her. I'm sure the cops were well aware that there were kinds inside, so they were willfully sitting on their thumbs.
The cops were unable and unwilling to deal with the shooter so they directed their impotent rage at the nearest thing...the unarmed panicking and angry parents. The easy target that was no threat to them. Like when someone gets humiliated by someone they fear so they smack their spouse when they get home.
It's not a coincidence that instances of DV are so high in Police families. This is what happens when you don't perform regular psych evaluations of people who only want to be in this job to exert control over others and abuse people.
@@ct5625 It's more than a lack of psych evals, particularly in this instance. Police do endure the worst humanity has to offer on a regular basis. It's difficult to be subjected to darkness daily and not have seep into your own being. There are a multitude of factors working in concert to create these issues but as humans we try to simplify it down to "Well, if we just did X this wouldn't happen." Reality is these dynamics are complex and involve a number of factors conspiring together. In this instance the police didn't know what to do, were under immense pressure to do something but were not equipped to process and work through the fear, stress and complexity of the situation. There's leadership failures, policy and procedure failures, an apparent lack of training for this type of situation, and a lack of professional behavior under stressful circumstances. It's a small town so I'm willing to bet they never thought it would happen here so any training or TTP's that were conducted and established were probably treated as a check the block exercise.
Texas police in their cowboy hats. Big Guns, little balls!
Reminds me of the j6 capital police. Both failed and ended with a leftest agenda push
And ALL WHITE MALE OVER 60
Got that right.
That's what I was thinking...they sure had enough time to grab their hats.😤😡🤬
I bet they all have the huge pickups with the oversized tires. And the thin blue line decals, American flag decals, Trump bumper stickers.
Bonus points if they have 3% bumper stickers and truck nuts.
I knew from the start that the story about the "resource officer being over powered" did not sound like the truth or he would have been calling for back up himself.
18:12 It truly is amazing how flexible the phrase "We feared for our lives" can be when you're a cop. It can excuse you when you murder an unarmed civilian, as well as excuse you from stopping an armed gunman. Cops are just scared, like all the time. Scared little babies... It's not like they have advanced training for these situ or anything...
Same thing happened at Virginia Tech. Cops got accolades for standing around outside assessing rumors that the shooter had boobytrapped the building, etc. Meanwhile, one little Asian guy, barely 5'6" tall, shot 32 people to death inside the building.
Thirty-three.
@@TrippLilley no, 32. The shooter doesn’t count.
This is the problem with the "good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun" argument, do you really want to die for a person you do not know? As the loitering actions of the 20 police officers show, the good guy with a gun is only good for defending himself not for some stranger that is not his own children. Would he sacrifice his ability to see his own children in order to save someone else's? The actions of the Uvalda police and Parkland security guard say "No."
Than every teacher need to have guns and armour plus training.....I am not sure if it help
Most police officers have no problem beating unarmed people, but will poop their pants when they need to face a real danger.
I think most people would without hesitation put themselves at risk whether or not they were their own children, totally blows the rediculous argument of police being at schools will stop the slaughtering of defenseless innocent people.
We need new police officers brave people who know the risks of the job.
Those IDIOTS in the armored vehicles were only there because they made a wrong turn on a DONUT RUN ! TOTALLY USELESS POS's !
Sometimes putting on a uniform doesn't automatically make you a hero. It could just be that you're a glorified/overpaid liar.🤷♂
Thank. U. Spit. At. Vehicles. With "PAY. POLICE". Decals. So over paid
JUSTICE FOR THE LITTLE CHILDREN AND TEACHERS ON UBALDE'S SCHOOL MASSACRE ... 🙍🙇💇🙅🙋💇🙅🙇🙍🙋🙇💇🙋🙇🙍🙅🙅❤️ JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! !
The parents who were treated like criminals need to sue the streets out of that town.
Oh no you don’t Abbot. It could’ve been better if the officers weren’t such cowards.
There was no way that Commander could possibly know what was going on inside that room. This is a perfect example of how people make up rationalizations to justify their actions. That commander was scared and he let that control his actions.
There were 911 calls from kids. Was the commander not hearing from 911? I doubt it.
He knew, and chose to do nothing.
Yep
Then he shouldn’t be a Commander, he shouldn’t have a badge or gun. Protect and serve not stand by and serve dead children.
@@izzybecerril4585 America watched the " good guy with a gun " myth get debunked in front of our eyes.
vote blue, please pass this on
Cops and, firefighters and emt didnt know what was going on inside the twin towers but that didn't stop 415 of them from dying to save lives..
Incopentance !!! They should all be forced to resign for this travesty !
The Governor for sure
This needs to be kept in the news until change
Happens!
So the police kept other parents out, handcuffed, peppersprayed and tased them but police went in to get their own kids.
