All officers in that hallway should be fired immediately
Fired? They should be rounded up. And the families should be allowed to beat the living shit out of them in the streets.
That's NOT good enough! They should be branded cowards and NEVER allowed to serve the public any such capacity again. They should also be stripped of their right own a weapon. They are not worthy.
@@lucymiller6616 They should be prosecuted as accessories to murder - because they stood there and listened to children getting murdered and did nothing.
Definitely they should be prosecuted - every last one of them. Period. It's shocking to me how many people think the cops should be allowed to just quit. Fuck.Thst.Shit!
Fire them!
Prosecute them!
Jail.
Releasing bodycam will surely cause an uproar. That's why they're trying to hide it. Isn't that what bodycams are for? Transparency and accountability 🤔
*PRECISELY* ,innocent people would push for the immediate release of all exculpatory evidence which would exonerate them whereas guilty people will always attempt to conceal evidence which would serve to convict them of their crimes.
They always hold off on showing the body cam until they can get their lies together.
Absolutely isn't that what those body cameras are for...the longer they put it off and stay silent the more time they have to make up another tricky lie to fool the public...
Because it was a political move! They/he wanted it! they were desperately pushing this campaign of gun control at the same exact time this happened! This guy is politically involved! Running for office, He’s a Democrat, he supports Biden and he’s in on it! that’s why there’s was a delay! that’s why there’s a cover-up! PERIOD!
100% those cops shot a kid. I'd bet on it
Anyone who has take an active shooter training course understands the simple fact that every officer on scene miserably failed to follow their sworn duty, especially the First Responders, which admittedly was the chief of police.
The only errors committed was abject cowardice and neglect
Body cams will reveal who acted cowardly, that's what they are hiding, shameful cowardly actions.
When it became apparent that the chief was incompetent, another agency should of taken over before Border Patrol went in.
This is where I feel a bit of guilt critiquing these cops, because I’m not in law enforcement. But, then my guilt goes away because I didn’t choose that for a profession. They did. They took a gun, a badge, an oath to protect. They didn’t. It really would have been much better if they told truth straight away. I mean, even then, they shouldn’t remain in law enforcement. But at least there wouldn’t be such intense anger.
You have to understand Arredondo was NOT the chief of Uvalde City Police, he was the chief of Uvalde School Police. He's basically a mall cop. It's also recently been reported that 14 of the 19 officers in the hallway were DPS officers. State officers that didn't seize control over a mall cop.
The mayor and chief of police needed to resign immediately after the massacre! They are BOTH shameful for not having a competent active shooter plan in place for the safety of their children!
they were ALL up on that stage day 1 saying what a great job the cops had done and how brave they were .... can you believe anything they say now? all the way up to the governor. lying cheating scumbags, trying to keep everything hidden until after election time
The city entrusted the school districts police department
the Mayor is covering for the Chief now...what a disgrace
@@benmm2044 thats like putting a lunch lady in charge. the man didnt know enough to take his radio with him. DANIEL RODRIGUEZ is the chief of police in uvalde...why wasnt he at the scene? if it had been a good thing, he would have stepped in and taken credit, but now he wants to lay it all on the 6 person resource office
They had completed active shooter training just 2 months earlier. They all knew the SOP yet backed off when they heard gunfire the exact opposite of what they were trained to do. My guess, they were just going to try to wait for the sick f&$#% to give himself up so they didn't have to go into harm's way.
Since when do doors stop police from entering?
Exactly!
The BEST comment this year, on RUclips.
@@theunknowngamer5477 agreed.
Simply when they really don't want to enter.
@@robertgosney5657 agreed.
That police chief was wrong for not letting anybody try to save children in the classroom and he should be charged for it secondly the officers there knowing it was a wrong decision should have taken it upon themselves multiple of them with weapons and protective gear and gone and done it themselves that shows they're not willing to die for anybody in their community and you can't trust them in a time of great need so they need to be fired every one of them
"Lock Him Up" - "Lock Him Up" - "Lock Him Up".
he is not the police chief, he the chief of the school resource officers. there is a real chief of police of the police dept but i havent heard his name mentioned ...not even once so i will say it...daniel rodriguez, chief of police of the uvalde police dept. where was he that day? NOT on scene
Absolutely the other cops should have disobeyed that bad order. If only….they wouldn’t be fired, the public wouldn’t have it. Clearly, they were afraid too!
@@granniesmith7904
Great point, wonder if it gets investigated. Or is he the one masterminding the cover-up?
The Supreme Court ruled that cops have no legal responsibility to protect citizens' lives.
This is such a disgraceful failure on so many levels. We demand Accountability. 💔
I think cops that were there may want to move away. It’s such a small community, their credibility is kaput. Although, they did really well at slamming parents to the ground so there was virtually no one to help those babies. Trust me, parents and grandparents would have gone in. They may have died, but that’s better than surviving this. The cops didn’t do parents a favor there at all. Protecting one’s child is the number one thing on any parents list. Now they’re left with grief and rage. Not a good combination.
why would they leave? they have complete control and no accountibility...perfect place for a bunch of cowards
@@granniesmith7904 True that. The whole nation is following this story. Public outcry sadly tends to move morons in power that need a vote.
Seriously this sounds like the officer's we're in on it
@@kathydittmer9659 Not just the US. The incompetence has gone viral. Canadians are just as horrified that no one went in when they could have. They just had active shooter training and, as much as they said they didn't have equipment, they had enough. The problem was, as a rep said during a press conference, they would have been shot.
The chief and rep. tried to say they weren't in charge, they didn't have equipment or weapons, and didn't know kids were still alive when there were indications like kids calling 911 and when they asked if there were kids that needed help to holler out and then the child was shot. They didn't want to engage the shooter. Someone else should have taken over, but the chief holds most of the blame. He was the one who was the commander.
Who has walkie-talkies that won't work in a building they are supposed to be looking after? They should have had better ones. This whole thing is disgusting. They were doing crowd control while hearing gun fire in a school. Their training said to go to the shooter and take them out. It said do not wait and if you are afraid of getting shot, then find another career.
Uvalde is one of many reasons I believe the US Department of Justice needs to maintain a national bad cop database of cops who have been fired, sanctioned or otherwise disciplined for civil rights infractions. If I can go online and see where the sex offenders live, I should be able to go online and see where bad cops are on patrol. This will help prevent bad cops who get fired from getting hired in another city.
This was such a clear opportunity for those officers to proudly take action and re-inspire public confidence in the ability of the police to protect their communities. But now 'Uvalde Police' will go down in history as inept cowards who not only failed to take action as children were killed under their direct watch but they also prevented others from taking action in their stead and then afterwards tried to cover up their own incompetence. The absolute worst part about this tragedy was how preventable it was
You are being VERY generous in only saying " inept cowards " .
Shame on you too Mayor to swear him in to the council committee during the tragedy that happen in your town Uvalde. You should be let go too.
If I was an officer and knew innocent children were inside of that classroom. I would have went around any order to stand back and went in there and took down the shooter myself. ONE HOUR those children waited to be saved while they bled out. This makes me absolutely ill.
Parents were tazed, cuffed and sprayed with pepper spray..now we know not to keep them safe, but to make sure they weren't able to see the cowards
That’s why you don’t have what it takes to be a cop. Cops care about themselves first. Officer safety and being in charge is what they care about most. Saving people is not a priority.
An officer tried that, he was cornered by the other officers and they took his gun. His wife was one of the teachers that died. :(
One cop tried and he was detained by other cops. His wife was one of the teacher victims. Chutzpah is just an empty gesture, If the cops want to stop you they'll stop you no matter your resolve just like they stopped him. You think he didn't try everyting he could? It reminds me of other cops around the country who have said they would have rushed in. That;s what Uvalde cops thought too. They can't be trusted to protect anything except maybe property (and then when they feel perfectly safe).
@@Cuban-Jo This is exactly right.
Why didn't any dps troops try to open the doors?If you were an officer on that scene and did not act to save those children you failed them
The simple answer to this question. They lack guts and courage.
We’re being lied to by our gov.
There is body cam video of DPS troopers voicing their objections
@@CN45475 Where can we see it ?
Yes. They Failed the children, the families and every member of this small but tight community.
They FAILED everyone.
The Chief is absolutely to blame.
And the school security was off campus on the job why
And try the retired fbi guy who coached the shooter.
Whats the point of all this if no one is held accountable?
Administrative leave, means he’s at home barbecuing and drawing a salary, he’s on paid leave, a vacation ….the chief needs to be held accountable , trial , then jail!
If he's at home BBQ'ing, he's most certainly doing so indoors. His face has not been seen in this town for some time now, it's pretty understood by anyone with any common sense that he's going to have to leave Uvalde, if he hasn't done so already.
Yes, yes, and yes!
Accountability and cops don't go together. Arrendondo is going to be just fine. He'll retire on a disability and draw a 100% pension for life.
@@Falconlibrary sad but true,after the Parkland shooting they're were Broward County deputies who were fired for dereliction of duty, they of course appealed and were given their jobs back with back pay no less.
Yes we are still paying the biggest coward in the USA while he seats on his couch in his vacation
The Mayor is so full of it! I served as a Police Officer.... an UNPAID, RESERVE Police Officer.... That means I volunteered to protect and serve my community and I knew the risk involved. Did the fact that I was not paid to do the job mean that my potential self sacrifice was somehow limited... NO! Anyone that serves knows that is the potential risk of the job we signed up for. Those local officers failed miserably... PERIOD!
I don't understand how 11 trained men with long guns and body armor stood there and listened to children die right on the other side of an unlocked door, for over an hour. And then they detain murdered fourth grade teacher Eva Mireles police officer husband as he tried to go in, and took his gun away! All 11 should be fired, obviously they think "Protect and Serve" is optional if they're even a tiny bit in danger.
I could not agree more! Why they were waiting for the ok to go in is ridiculous! They should of just went in period! I get sick to my stomach every time I think of those poor kids, and the police officer who’s wife was in there and was killed. You damn well know if one of their kids were in that room they would not of thought twice about going in. They all should be charged with murder!
Eva’s husband died of a broken heart ache (attack) that night or maybe it was a night later. They had young kids at home still and they lost both parents in this fiasco.
There were actually about 40 cops there and they all stood around with their hands in their pockets.
@@Falconlibrary Well most stood with hands in pockets except the moronic cowardly cretin who thought sanitizing his hands was more important than children's lives
THAT PIECE OF SH*T TOTALLY DISGUSTED ME
And one "bravely" crossed the hallway to use hand sanitizer. What was he thinking? Turn in your badges now!
This mayor is trying to protect his officers instead of his people. The fact of the matter is local agencies failed to act.
Anyone else see the irony in all this? Texans love their guns, but clearly 19 of them didn't want to use them that day....🤔😢
If this Texan was there that day and if they would had let me in I would of showed that coward love for a gun.
Don't get it twisted. The actions of these bitches don't represent the many brave officers across the whole state of Texas!!
Yup. Texas law enforcement are a bunch of incompetent cowards. Bunch of "tough guys" in cowboy hats harassing parents
@@michaelmiller4568 just so sad.... Heartbreaking... 💔
Administrative Leave. That's about the same as a paid vacation. INSULTING to the parents of the DEAD CHILDREN, don't you think?
He is probably part of a Police Union where they have to follow Policy and Procedure before they oust him.
Yes what a Dysfunctional police Department
Wouldn't you think the School Police Chief would know those doors don't lock from the inside? Was Arredondo incompetent or complicit?
Stupid and cowardly
I vote incompetent. He sure isn’t covering his tracks like he would if he had a criminal mind. He’s just plain dumb!
I believe complicit. When SWAT arrived he said “no one comes in”
I want to see the footage from the camera, showing them trying to open the doors as they had claimed...
I know from experience that school doors are only locked with keys - not with a dead-bolt or somesuch - and only from the outside (hallways). Also, every single classroom can be opened with the SAME KEY. There was no “waiting for the proper key”. Every staff member in the school would have that key.
Sets them back 4 decades. The mayor and the chief arradondo need to be behind bars. The blood of those poor innocent kids are on their hands. They kept stalling and waiting. They were cowards and are up to something. Pray for the children and family. Enough is enough. Put the broom away.
Per Mayor and a state Senator says that 91 DPS officers were on site that wasn’t listening to the chief and all of the kids and teachers were locked behind doors that the chief had the wrong master keys for. As an officer you have a duty to everyone in that school just the kids in the room where the shooter was and 3 people were shot in another room as the shooter was killing those kids. Thx bullets went through the walls and the killings also occurred before the police got on sight. As soon as the DPS heard the police chief had trouble with the door keys to the class rooms why didn’t 91 DPS agents step up and break the wind
Sorry hit the reply button to early. But 91 officers could have stepped very quickly and broken the windows and gotten the teachers and those kids out. DPS did nothing they were the cowards.
@@lylarose2696 the cowards said they were out gunned and over matched. By a 18 year old untrained punk. Man hate to see how they would act on a scene with 2 untrained or 3 untrained punks. They will need 1000 officers and 2 Sherman tanks. Remember ruby ridge. All those guns choppers and equipment on that hill for 2 men a woman and 4 kiddos. That was a screw up too by the law
@@michaelmiller4568 let’s hope this lawsuit by Senator Gutierrez works and forces DPS to turn over their records and body cameras and then we can get to the bottom of all of this.
@@lylarose2696 I hope they get to it before it gets "lost" or destroyed.
He never turned over command charge him with 19 counts of negligence resulting in deaths and give him a life sentence his statement of If you are ready You guys do it. Should be proof enough that he didn't care
No cop will do one day in prison.
@@fractussI agree and unfortunately this situation in particular is seeming more of a the guy in charge was either paid to stall as long as possible or told to stall as long as possible all the excuses we heard the same day the fake anger from Alot of the cops in interviews was pathetic acting almost as if the reporters were opponents in a MMA fight like buddy you should of showed the shooter your mad face not every parent trying to figure out what's going on and why y'all stopped a husband and took his gun then escorted him away from the school when he was trying to save his wife a teacher. The cop that stopped the husband would of had to of killed me my wife's life is more valuable then my own and my children's lives are priceless in my eyes. I have nothing else on this earth worth being here for so at that point it would be a reminder for the Tyrannical cops that bury the Tyrant and a small contribution to the Liberty Tree by the Patriot 💪💯
Dear lord we are in trouble in this country. Sacred things…. Like policemen protecting children !!!!! Cannot be expected anymore. Pitiful. Just absolutely pitiful. Then add no one knowing the truth. Covering their cowardly rear ends. Kick up enough dust and everything will get lost in the cloud. Right officers? Geez!!!
You said it perfectly thank you!!!!!!!
Yes good point!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmm to protect and serve just a slogan!
NEARLY 400 HUNDRED COPS SHOWED UP?
AND NO EVEN ONE OF THOSE TRY TO SAVE THOSE KIDS?
🤮🤮🤮🤮
What stopped the three officers that were there three mins after the shooter? The police radios didn’t work so Pete couldn’t even have told them not to go in ?? The first three officers in that school should have taken the bulliets aimed at the children , better to die a hero then to live forever as a coward
Uvalde major cover up for Anddendo. Both need resign
I feel so sick inside when I understand how those children were allowed to die - with officers on site - so shocking - so revolting! Thanks for some truth being shared by NewsNation.
Hold them accountable.
If the police chief had a son or daughter in that classroom, those cops would have entered that classroom in a heartbeat!
How sad that the police chief and the cops didn't feel this urgency about other people's' children!!
School Police chief, not City Police chief. Daniel Rodriguez is our City Police chief, who I believe was on vacation at the time. That should have left Daniel Coronado in charge of the city police in Rodriguez's absence. Again, school police chief....aka....mall cop. DPS was there, they're state officers. So this means state officers stood down to the command of a mall cop.
@@sirtwentythree Excuses, excuses! Look at the facts!
What control do Texans have over their leaders and police?
To have people like you who make excuses for their leaders when the entire world sees the "reality" of what happened, Texas deserves the leaders they have!
If they don’t lock them up, the Cartel may take action.
2 officers had Family in d classroom,,, That says it all,,
19 dead children is compelling evidence…😡 it is disturbing, disgraceful and completely avoidable….children died because of their failure to confront the shooter as they are TRAINED and PAID to do. This is the worst event I’ve seen in many years. I’m neither a parent or a police officer but I worked in elementary schools for years…..I would definitely be in that school regardless of my own safety…it’s an adult job to protect children…these men are beyond cowardly.😡✌️❤️🌎
19 cowards securing the perimeter
Stay on top of this story don't let it die with the children.. The parents need answers.
This event will serve to teach future law enforcement agencies what NOT TO DO.
How come the guys who went in,we haven't heard from at all. Why?
Well if you are talking about the Cops that went in I saw a clip of 1 of the Cops who appearntly was outside the room and according to him the reason they didn't breach the door was " A CHANCE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE SUFFERED A INJURY" or in simple terms they sacrificed the lives of Childern for Officer Safety.
Some how these cops have come to think their main job is gathering Revenue. I'm surprised they didn't arrest some of the parents and charge them with obstruction or disorderly conduct. There is good money with those charges
First, as a firefighter and just to inform you, and to correct the record, a Halligan is nothing like an ax or a hook. It is a tool with a spike and flat head on one end and a crowbar on the other. The way it is used, you swing the spike into the door frame and another person uses a sledgehammer on the flat head, or you jab the crowbar end into the door jam and push on the halligan to force to door open. Secondly, about the radios not working, that is the 800-900Mhz digital radios for you. While the Feds are requiring all emergency services use these 800-900 Mhz digital radios ( that don't work in reinforced masonary building) the USFS doesn't use these radios. They still use the old UHF/VHF radio which work better than what the FCC mandates. Also I might add, that the feds know these radios don't work in reenforced building and they found out when OSHA and other federal agencies investigated the fatal Southwest Hotel fire in Houston that killed 4 HFD firefighters as well as compliants recieved as far back as 2004. No department like the 800-900 Mhz digital radios, but ( with the exception of the U.S. Forest Service) we are all required to use these. Also according to another news channel Arredondo is running for city council. This tells me that he is more interested in his campaign and the effect the shooting has on it than the victims. Arredondo, you screwed up, royally. By you saying you didn't think you were in command, shows your incompetance. By you saying you didn't order officers to delay, the videos show that you are a liar. Therefore, you have no business in city council or as police chief. You should never be in charge of anyone. In otherwords, Arredondo you need to resign. Finally, the state and federal investigators need to supponea the 911 tapes. Because all of the calls and any radio traffic would be recorded. Arredondo stated he was first onscene, well, the tapes will show if he is telling the truth on that. That is because when ems, fire or police go en route to a call or get on scene we all call in to dispatch to inform them and that traffic get recorded on tape. Those tapes will show who actually was first on scene.
They had shotguns - anyone could of blown the hinges within seconds and kicked that door in. The fact they pissed about waiting for keys shows a level of complacency and incompetence that is off the scale
And the door was unlocked.
School doors cant be kicked in. The door frames wont allow it to happen; even if you remove the hinges
@@codyking4342 what kind of school do you think this was. A school with doors made out of reinforced 12 inch bullet proof stainless steel doors. This was a elementary school in a small town. Even if they thought the door was locked and they didn't have the tool used to bust in a door which they had in the school for a half hour before they ever tried to get in. They had a lot of cops in there with shields and all the guns used by swat and military POP POP from a shot gun on the door handle and 1 quick push and that door would be flying in followed by a half dozen cops behind multiple full body shieds and bullet proof vests and seconds later this whole thing would have been over. Of course they didn't do any of this.
@@robertgosney5657 99 percent of school doors in Texas are hollow metal door frames. I install them for a living. The door is bigger than the frame. It hs a piece of steel all the way around the door that the door hits against when it is closed. The door physically will not fit. It has to be pulled open. Im not saying that its impossible to get into. Im just saying your not going to shoot the hinges and kick it in like you said. The door has to be pulled out not pushed in. A residential door can be kicked in because it sits on the inside of the frame not the outside like a commercial door. Its not going to pop pop and push. All of this has nothing to do with the fact that the dumbasses didnt need any of that because the door wasnt even locked. If there were some non coward cops there, they would have found a way in
@@codyking4342 well I agree there were nothing but a bunch of heartless evil Criminals wearing Costumes and a badge my point is not shooting the door hinges but every school I went to in Arkansas 1 state over in relatively small schools the doors were made of wood with some metal in key parts. My point was a few shoot guns shells at the door handle were the locking mechanism is located would destroy the lock combined with a strong hit or 2 from the ramming device which we saw video footage of it inside the school. The point even if it was locked like they thought it was destroy the lock and there is nothing preventing someone from opening the door up. That is what I am saying here.
the police knew there were little kids in that room, but they didnt have the guts to go in
All these coward cops guilty of gross negligence should be charged with negligent homicide. All these murders were completely preventable, so the innocent blood of these children are on their hands.
They waited for a tank :)
It’s all going to be covered up and no one will be charged. Lives lost, cowards not held accountable, and no justice for the families. This is life now sadly.
How is it that not one of those 19 officers took matters into their own hands that day? Surely there were some that wanted to breach the classroom even though the chief ordered them not to...
One officer said over radio “if there are kids in there we need to go in” but yet no one did.
Exactly!
@@Tocabocakids2024 that is easy enough this is for after the fact they could say hey we were saying we should go in there here is audio were you can hear us "SAYING WE SHOULD GO IN THERE". Just like when a dozen cops are on top of someone face down hands behind there back already in cuffs and sometimes already unconscious or even dead with a dozen officers beating punching, kicking and tazzing them steadily yelling stop resisting to the person already face down hands behind there back and sometimes already unconscious or dead but somehow according to the Cops that person is still resisting. My point of this rant is them saying we should just go in there was just them saying it on Body Cam "We should go in there" so after it was over they could claim we said we should go in there.
Sorry Dan, but DPS is just as dirty as the school district police. They were all outside the classrooms and nobody had the guts to go in and now they are all lying about it. Yesterdays news was one of the officers wives called him from in the classroom and told him she had been shot and was dying, when he tried to go in they took his gun away and forced him out of the building. They should all resign.
Why did they take away his gun? He would have needed it if he confronted the shooter
Exactly right….DPS is talking crap about locals to take pressure off themselves. They just as guilty
@@codyking4342 the dps wasnt there the school district police were there. First responders act first.
If police are afraid to approach a shooter with an AR15, why are citizens allowed to own them? 'Merica is a messed up place.
Well if you have ever watched any of the videos by the Armed Fisherman you would see that as long as the person with the AR15 is carrying it legally and lawfully and making no attempts threats or even the slights hints of actually using it and honestly 0 threat to thier own lives they are more then happy to approach guns drawn with extreme prejudice and hatred. But someone who is actually using the weapon and even a minimum threat to thier saftey well we all saw how they act.
He doesn't make sense. He feared for his life. That's why he retreated and coward to confront the gunman.
Cowards 😡 😡 😡 poor babies 🥺🥺🥺
How is the town treating law enforcement now? Are they still showing respect for them?
I don't live there but if I was a business owner in that town I would put up a sign that says we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. With the name of every single employee of that police department on it is hereby banished from our property. This is hereby a official notice of trespass for every single member of the police department. If you are not on official police business do not ever step foot on this property.
The thing that guts me about the video released is that the screams of children were removed from the footage. So not only were the officers of 8 law enforcement agencies fannying around in the hallway, they were doing it while listening to the screams of children 🤬
What do you mean "radios didn't work anyway?" Do any of these fools have cell phones? Why wouldn't radios work? This all stinks to high Heaven....
Liars.
91 COPS.!
"Lock Them Up" - "Lock Them Up" - "Lock Them Up"...
Excuse me?!!! Officers didn't have anything to do with killing that murderer!!
Coward’s
Put them all in jail - jail - jail..
Stop calling these clowns hero's they are anything but....fire everyone on scene... everyone
Dan Abrams, should I remind you that the "..excellent work done by Police Depts across the country" inspired millions to protest Police Misconduct across the country.
The report says these cowardly cops were out gunned. When these guys don't have the balls . They were out gunned.
Well.I might be willing to concede and even believe that the initial cops that made contact with the shooter only armed with there sidearm and him having a semiautomatic rifle and he fired a couple of rounds in thier direction forcing them to duck back around a corner for a cover position while he used the opportunity to duck into the Classroom he wound up in. At that point I can believe they were outgunned but according to the time line within 3 minutes they said there were over 10 cops in there and with in a few more they had tack gear and armor so within just a few minutes that excuse was gone.
Cover Up...the Chief should have had enough guts to handle the situation and should have been man enough to send those officers in there. Maybe the Chief should take some notes from the Sheriff of Polk County Florida.
“The only thing stopping the hallway of officers from making entry “ was a MORAL COMPASS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT!
Na your wrong. Even the cops say your wrong. Those were wusses.
You can't get truth from evil people. They're called Napha/Naphillium in the Hebrew.
JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! !
There should be a mass house cleaning. From DPS on down. Ultimately the blame fall in the chief’s lap. However let’s not forget that the head of DPS was pushing false info days after they knew they were getting bad info.
This is showing such ugliness. 362 COWARDLY MEN, armed to the teeth failed to do their duty and fully expect to keep their badges. A TEXAS DISGRACE.
Cops should’ve just given the parents their gear. I bet you they would’ve been more than happy to storm the school
Mayor just read his own death sentence… good for him.
I have, as prior LE myself, I was born with a automatic door opener! I was born with them! My feet and legs!!!
They are embarrassed to admit that one brave Texas Border Guard did the job they were cowards or too afraid of lawsuits to do their job!!
I appreciate this video, it cuts through so much crap. The VIDEO of the hallway should answer everything, should it not? Arredondo should be jailed, not fired.
arredondo was not the chief of police he was police chief of the school resource officers. thats like the supervisor of the lunch ladies. where is the ACTUAL uvalde police dept chief? too lazy or too scared to take responsibility?
He was on vacation
My guestion also
Local officers are harassing the mother that went in after her kids. That is the kind thing the Uvalde police dept is
No; the on scene commander could have been overruled & ignored by the OSC. That bull crap, these cops should have taken the initiative on their own!
Every one of the parents need to sue and need to run for the town
council, mayor, school board and hold ALL of the COWARD police and local
government accountable.
Thx Dan!
Not hard to make law enforcement look bad when they just stand around while children are slaughtered.
This Mayor and Police Chief need to walk the plank.
Will we ever get the complete truth out of these people ??? It you consider everything like how many officers were well armed and just standing around doing nothing .... Look how many DPS officers there !!! If you haven't heard there were Ninety !!! There were over one hundred law enforcement officers standing around ..
this mayor must go leave with pay for the police chief thats what he wanted great parents get rid of all these SB keep the fight
Texas DPS is notorious for passing the buck when things turn bad. They are a state police agency and do not have to wait for a local police agency chief to tell them what to do definitely not in a situation like this mistakes can occur by any law enforcement agency including. Texas DPS in this case though I see utter failure from multiple agencies. State troopers in most states are mainly tasked with enforcing traffic laws and working wrecks
Being a state agency does mot make them Amy better or braver than anyone else
I love a support the police but in this case they failed the students trapped inside and inaction cost people their lives own it and deal with the conseques
During the hearings DPS chief said they also deal with gangs and cartels. He listed several things they also cover beside traffic.even though I agree with your statements.
Local law enforcement has lead jurisdiction and thus lead in operations. What it was is the other officers didn't do is called a mutiny and releaved Chief of Police of his command when his leadership was costing lives.
Cops haven't botched a response to a school shooting this badly since 4/20/1999.
All I can say is Uvalde LEOs showed cowardice at its utmost! Thank GOD for BORTEK
Why isn't Ted Cruz crying about crime in Texas???? If this happened in New York or name a blue state, he'd never shut the fuck up how they need to get it under control.
The mayor is clueless too.
That mayor is a tool. He was very quick to support Abbott and the cops at that press conference and attack Beto for asking necessary questions. He sees now which way the wind is blowing and has adjusted his sails to appear concerned and sympathetic. Bah Humbug!
Thank you for great coverage and vision into these ongoing events. GREAT WORK!
He is going to retire so he can get his full pay and pension and those idiots will give him a extremely favorable severance package as he goes out.
i would pay a dollar to have a body language expert analyze old stevie boys statement
Don't ever pull over for these cops... don't give them that respect
It’s obvious now that the DPS and city officials are not capable on carrying out an unbiased investigation. They need to bring in outside investigators.
Cops are faster to respond to a donut shop than an emergency please… wow
JUSTICE FOR THE LITTLE CHILDREN AND TEACHERS ON UBALDE'S SCHOOL MASSACRE ... 🙍💇🙍🙇🙅💇🙍🙇🙋💇🙍💇💇🙇🙍💇🙇🙋🙍❤️. JUSTICE ! ! ! !
I am worried about "authority" in Texas. Or everywhere, since when were we glaringly cya enthusiasts.
No one would ever touch the door until the exact moment they breach the room.
Do you mean he was place on a payed vacation ? That's probably what they ALL will get,,,,,that's how they operate !
OUT GUNNED BY THE SHOOTER??? IT WAS ONE GUY AND 20 OFFICERS WITH GUNS. HOW IS THAT BEING OUT GUNNED?????
Not a single person in Uvaulde should respect Pete Arredondo or those supporting his lies.
Police Academy 101 : How to open a locked door. UNbelievable.
Slight correction How many cops does it take to open a UNLOCKED DOOR.
I pray for the true to come out so these poor souls can really Rest In Peace and their families can heal.
RELEASE THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE! I love our Officers, Police, Sheriffs and Emergency Responders, but the fact is, every officer there and their Supervisors should be FIRED. You did nothing but arrest and handcuffed their parents.
I highly commend the ones that took that creep out,,,, you did your job !
Way too fucking late...
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
He waited an hour to do his job while listening to children scream and die. That doesn't really deserve any praise. Maybe he just had to finish his box of doughnuts before getting off of his lazy ass.
Per a Texas state Senator DPS had 91 police on site and a few of them were in the school and it has since come out DPS did recognize the Police Chief’s authority, so why didn’t they go in themselves?
If they recognized his authority, means when he told them to stand down, they listened
@@marijbeach2554 but according to a Texas State Senator, DPS wasn’t listening to the chief so what were they doing. The guy who testified was making fun of the police chief because he was trying to unlock doors elsewhere in the school when they didn’t need a key for the room where the shooter was. Now ask yourself who was in those other rooms the police chief needed the keys for? Students and kids. 3 people in rm 109 were wounded when the gunman originally fired off his 100 rounds at the teachers and kids in rms 111 and 112. The bullets went through the walls. The chief didn’t want to kill anyone as they breached to get the kids. The keys became a problem when his master key didn’t open up those doors and delayed everything. Why didn’t those 91 officers say not a problem chief we have enough people here, we will break the classroom windows and get everyone pronto. That would have sped everything up. The cowards were DPS and the guy who’s testifying is covering up for them, it’s the DPS that are refusing to release body cameras and records and are being sued by the Senator under the freedom of information act.
@@lylarose2696 did.. did you just make excuses for them ? None of these ppl have clean hands but who are you to say that officers should have told the chief what to do. It was his job to lead them and when the time came he "didn't know" he was in charge. That man messed up big time.
@@marijbeach2554 then why are DPS refusing to release their records and body cameras? 91 DPS were on scene, what were they doing? Scratching their asses?
@@lylarose2696 doesn't the uvalde police department wear body cams also? Where's those videos? Its entirely possible that the troopers were told to stand down by the uvalde chief. If he couldn't handle it, he needed to pass the operation to another senior officer. The problem is, he didn't know he was in charge somehow. And didn't have his radio. Nothing will change the fact that that man was calling the shots.
Why the obsession with the doors? The classrooms had windows.
