if you're too cowardly to save the kids yourself, why not let the parents go in and save their own children? why block them, taze them, cuff them for trying to enter school grounds to protect their own children? it's almost like they tried to make sure as many kids were killed as possible, that's how horrific their conduct was. They protected the shooter, abandoned the kids and made sure anyone who could save the kids was kept away. They belong in jail as accomplices to child slaughter.
Yeah, all the kids should had guns to defend themselves. If each of them had a gun all this wouldn't have happened
@@walterbo7687 if you give elementary school kids guns, only a few would be responsible enough to use them properly.
I'm not sure if you've ever seen how often fights break out in public schools, but those would quickly turn into murders with that stupid ass logic
Some kids are mature enough to properly use guns, but you can't expect all of them to
There was a mother that was able to get around the officers run into the school made it to her first sons classroom got those kids out then proceeded to run across the school to her other sons class and managed to get those kids out all while all these officers sat and did nothing..they aren't talking much about that lady on any news outlets that I've seen.
@@walterbo7687 deranged idea
How much you want to bet if a group of the parents had been armed, forced their way into the building, forced their way around the group of hired "Good For Nothings" who were crouched hiding in the hallway btw, then stormed into that classroom and shot the gunman dead, they the parents would of faced a whole list of charges. From Obstruction of law enforcement all the way to assault with a deadly weapon...
When you hire bullies, you get cowards.
👍🏽👍🏽 best comment ! Amen to that .
End qualified immunity, let’s have some resemblance of justice and accountability for the public and victim’s family. The true Justice for the victims is with God Almighty.
@Sad American they LITERALLY swear an Oath, but ok 👍
@Sad American this makes no sense they swear an oath to serve and protect if that’s the case allow us to carry our own gun if you had kids in this situation I wonder if you would tell your wife what you just said
@Sad American But yet they have the right to kill unarmed American citizens, unlike everyone else.
I lost my niece Alithia Ramirez to the school shooting at Robb Elementary. We are so angry and so extremely sad that law enforcement didn't do the JOB. They have a duty to PROTECT and SERVE the people in their city. If they weren't going to go ahead and kill him they should have let those parents try and saved their babies. Not sit around doing NOTHING!!! Life isn't the same anymore. We want our baby back and we could have had her still if they did the job they were supposed to do.
so sorry for your loss 😅
I am extremely sorry for your knowing that nothing I say can bring any of those back You have my deepest condolences and sympathy your niece didn’t deserve that
Siento mucho la perdida de tu sobrina, es incompresible las dos profesoras defendieron y protegieron a sus alumnos si tener nada para defenderse dieron su vida al igual que estos 19 Angelitos y la policia Armada temblando de miedo porque no hay otra explicacion , ser fuertes tiene que ser muy duro pero Dios es justo nonos va abandonné y se va hacer justicia un gran abrazo desde España
The families need to demand body cam footage be released. The world grieves with you and I for one need answers.
That's the most heartbreaking thing to me, thinking about those in the community who are personally touched by this. Not just parents, but also aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, etc. That small town has a long road of grieving ahead. I feel powerless as all I can do is feel sickened.
"he waited for a key, he never needed".. that hits deep..
How could a 19 men stand there and do nothing for so long? Listening to the shooter murder them. There are times where an example must be made, and this is one of those moments.
Agreed.....make an example..they earned it😠
Do we know if the shooter murdered more kids after the initial killing ?
Cuz they ate all crooked officers they are near the border they got orders not to do nothing. They steal from drug dealers and resell the same drugs back to them.
Almost 100 officers were in and around that school for almost one and a half hours while the suspect freely roamed between two adjoining classrooms as he continue to murder children and teachers.
Meanwhile, numerous officers with tactical shields, ballistic helmets, rifles, breaching tools, and everything else needed to eliminate the threat were waiting just outside the kill zone, yet they refused to go in, violating their active shooter training protocols, academy training, and common sense.
Therefore, these officers are guilty of gross negligence, extreme incompetence, cowardice, conspiracy, or a combination thereof, the findings of which I pray will be discovered within the several investigations that are currently ongoing.
Maybe you should have been a youtube cop, you could telework from home, saving babies with your emogies and keystrokes.
The families should be allowed to bring lawsuits against these officers. They had training and equipments, including ballistic shields, for these possible events, no excuses for this.

Well maybe the killer should have thought about it before he killed them all.
They also had AR-15 platform rifles with sufficient training to use them in a professional manner. The murderer by all accounts had never had any range time...
@@bldlightpainting well said!! I agree with you 💯! They were neglected! They did not act fast enough! Keys?? Who needs keys ? You can shoot the lock of a door in that moment in your mind when you must rescue people!!! There’s absolutely no excuse ! for sure they are cowards!! I am disgusted with this whole situation!!
by law they dont have to
Someone wrote below, "when you hire bullies you get cowards" well said
What really hurts the most is knowing those children should be alive and they are not. Really hurts
Well, I have 30 years experience including 10 years either as a member of or instructor for SWAT, there is no doubt the police first on scene are criminally negligent. They are a disgrace to police everywhere. They should go to jail.
I cannot imagine how any law enforcement superior/person of authority can still be convinced that some of those police officers should still be on the job..
You are a officer and also know there was over 30 officers . I have great respect for law enforcement .Now do think all those officers will face any disciplinary actions, get fired have Thier peace officer license taken from them NO!! Any other profession would. I couldn't live with myself if a trained officer there . Look everywhere you see law enforcement that are hard charging and do what they are trained to do putting them selves in the line of fire .the ones in Uvalde just damaged all law enforcement in general and that bothers me that's going to put more and more people not trusting law enforcement especially if nothing happens to those guys it stood out there for 77 minutes
The Texas DPS director testified there was a total of 361 law enforcement officers at the scene.
THREE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE

I’m literally about to cry because I had a friend who used to go to my school and later on moved to Uvalde in rob elementry and this year my mom told me that he had got shot in the mass shooting. Honestly this is the hardest pill I’ve ever swallowed 😔🪦🕊️ I miss him,but he is a angel now watching over me
Those cops stood outside that classroom and down the hall and did NOTHING….they are just as responsible 💯
Those officers let their own community down at a time when they really needed them.

Looks like everyone let their community down right? the teacher who left the door unlocked, parents and citizens who stood by and did nothing to stop the school shootings. The community must feel even worse about the killer who actually killed the children.
@@gordsruby5963 "the teacher who left the door unlocked" thats already been proven false. the cops had to release a statement saying they were wrong. you late.
@@gordsruby5963 Every parent that tried to do something was stopped, tased, pepper sprayed or handcuffed by the cops. Nobody "stood by and did nothing". They were being held back by Uvalde's finest.
@@twebb6704 No...you were on your cellphone watching tik tok videos while a madman entered Robb elementary school and slaughtered innocent children like pigs. Only now, weeks after the massacre are the qualified experts coming out of the woodworks. The call to STAND DOWN was made by the chief, it was his decision and his call, do you seriously think anyone cares what you think? Lol you don't get to make up the law as you go!! Officer's at an active shooter or hostage situation have 100% right to stop or hold anyone from crossing a crime scene investigation. They are protected by law and there's nothing you can do to change it. So please don't act brand new!! It was the shooters fault for the deaths. He and he alone bares the responsibility and accountability for any and all deaths or injuries as a direct result of his actions..
I remember one of the kid inside the classroom in an interview saying they were in there for 3 hours then his mom say no it was just one hour. Can you imagine in that one hour it feel like 3, hoping someone would come and end the horrible thing you are hearing and seeing. I hope those children that survive this get the help they need.
Uvalde was extensively covered by Some More News.
Considering the state of mental Healthcare in the US, you can rest assured that they will get very little help if at all.
Imagine the parents of the victims! And the victims! I don’t know if I could even think about forgiving cowardice so called cops who waiting sucking each other off while kids were dying. Man, my blood boils and I’m not even in the same state.
One way to stop the shootings is stop pushing the lie that people are just highly evolved animals teach people that have value
Still so heartbreaking prayers still go out to those families
The chef was supposedly waiting for the SWAT team to arrive, which if you dont know is the second worst thing you could do here. My dad is a school resource officer. States "you do not wait to go in, every second matters. I might call in to ask when backup will arrive. If they say 4 minutes ,i go in. If they say that backup is arriveing right now, i wait for them to back me up, but then i go in right away with them."
You do not wait in school shooting, this outrageous, and an embarrassment to all law enforcement across the world
As a father of 3, I don't understand how any REAL man could sit around and wait for an order to confront the shooter. God put you there in that moment. He put you there to act, not to wait for someone to tell you to do what you already KNOW you need to do. God put you there to be an angel for the defenseless, and you failed. You failed because you valued your life, and the chain of command, more than the lives of those innocent children. Shame on you. You will be forever judged.
Bravo! Bravo!
Agreed. Noting one man, a woman, went in to two classrooms and left with two of her children.
Also the mass murderer , obviously not a recipient of US Student Rights including mental health care given Texus rates bottom, 50 of 50 for mental health care delivery.
Maybe adults of Texus can priorities obligation of their State meeting US Student Rights.
Don't forget that God put the shooter there as well
@@alexyoungberg5232 You spelled devil wrong.
@@mikescafidi nope everything is god's will. Many bible thumpers have told me so.
It’s ironic that 19 OFFICERS we’re in that school hallway for an hour and a half and NONE had a walk talkie. No excuse. Hold officers like these and all the government officials in our government that are incapable of doing their fucking JOB accountable.
Radio wouldn’t work in school. They used cell phones.
Exactly! Ffs ugh!!!
I heard 60 had showed up and were to chicken to go in the school wtf 😡🤦♀️this sums up American police force they can go kill innocent lives in a house but can’t take down a school shooter and let kids suffer and most had bleed to death! 😭❤️
they did have radios, the chief was the only one present who didn't bring his as far as I know, but only border patrol radios had strong enough signals to work through the school's walls.
You already know it was probably planned. Just by law of averages-19 wouldn’t make that same mistake!!!
My heart aches for these families and survivors. I can’t imagine the loss they are feeling. Nothing will change unless this same loss is felt by those in power to make changes to laws. When they feel and experience what it’s like for someone they love be taken away by gun violence nothing will change. Nothing has thus far changed and every human life lost to cowardly acts of gun violence should be an exception and not the norm in our lives. Change the laws, change the narrative, stop the violence.
Heartbreaking & Infuriating 😢 😡
That poor child calling 911 over and over again... begging for help & relaying information is a true lil hero 😇🕯️.
Rest Peacefully all victims🕯️ 🖤🕯️
There was a mother that made her way into the school during this time and managed to get to her two kids classrooms and got those classes full of kids out. How come there is no mention of this on this timeline
I’ve never even heard of that mother and what she did until just now when I read your comment
@@chisholmtrailrides4602 ruclips.net/video/J1CFEbdaJ4Q/видео.html
Because it makes Mexicans look good and that's the last thing they want

This still hurts my heart for these innocent children, and their parents. I have 2 boys of my own and I can feel the pain in my chest thinking about this. May the parents and loved ones be healed, some day, some day😭❤️
Absolute cowards. They should be in jail for incompetence.
.. I do wonder if punk-Pete and all other cops can face charges aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter for each life lost
Child neglect charges for the rest of the kids that lived…
100% correct!
Don’t disrespect those Untouchable God’s They Were Scared so they Lied about How Brave they were.
@Sad American Then we have no reason to support or even respect these PIGs, no more than we would any other Hired Guns with attitudes.
"Remember Uvalde" should be a bumper sticker on every car & truck in America.
@Sad American In an active shooter situation "Stop the killing" section it states: Officers first priority is to move in and confront the attacker. 6:40
So no courage to engage, divert, distract & neutralize the gunmen until 77 mins later, 19 children & 2 adults were massacred. This agency needs to held accountable
"Cops" and "accountability", two words seldom seen it the same sentance.
And let their jail mates find out about their cowardice! They’ll have sweat dreams of safety after that!
Lol MS13 now know where to set up shop.
Not even 77 minutes later. A fucking parent that is with boarder patrol had to come in and kill the suspect ffs.
Gunmen? There was only one gunman
I haven't been through such an atrocity, so I can only speculate. As the father of four daughters in school, I can't imagine that I would wait around for approval to take action. I have close friends in various law enforcement agencies, some who have wives and children and some who do not, and I don't believe that any of them wouldn't do everything possible for the sake of their families or for the sake of any other person, especially children. It's hard to even comprehend the amount of failures, cowardice, deflection of blame, etc that occurred there that day. If those "officials" and cops have any sense of right and wrong, we will surely see a lot of resignations, some legal sentences, and a few voluntarily "unalived" occurrences. Pathetic.
I can’t even stop crying 😭 I can’t even get up to do anything here in my home in sacramento, my heart is broken for the family … to keep having the kids calling 911 and telling them and yet they stood around and did nothing.. Hugs and prayers for all the families and rip little angels 👼 so sorry 😢
Even if they thought the shooting was over, they knew there were injured children and they waited all that time. The kids could've been bleeding out. It makes no sense for them to have waited that long.
It was one excuse after another, ever since the shooting. The fact that they came up with those lies says that they KNEW they were wrong to wait, even when they did it.
Amen!
Nah! This is overly criminal, I know those parents who have lost their children are thinking of doing crazy things, I wish them peace. Make sure everyone their is charged! That’s the only true justice.
Cowards. Corrupt small town police chief who employed wanna bes and cowards who just wanted to wear a badge and not actually take their oath seriously
Every so called police officer there should be fired. Their non-action was despicable.
Exactly!!
So, call police officer.
Not just despicable but criminally negligent. Cowardly
Fire the chief put him in prison. The officers were just following orders. They should've disobeyed orders but they were just doing what they were told.
SCOTUS ruled they don't have to protect you, even under a restraining order, they only care about protecting their brand.
My school had a shooting in 2017, 1 killed 3 injured, tomorrow my school's shooter is getting sentenced
My heart broke watching the school's video footage. Watching all the officers just standing in the hallway, not even attempting to breach the classroom and save everyone. I am so disgusted with these individuals who swore to serve and protect. I hope the officers are haunted with their incompetence and cowardly actions the rest of their lives. May these angels and their 2 guardians rest in God's grace❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
THE CHIEF AND THE FIRST RESPONSE POLICE OFFICERS ABSOLUTELY FAILED TO PERFORM THEIR JOB TO SAVE THOSE KIDS AND TEACHERS !
WELL I HATE TO INFORM YOU, BUT WHAT DO YOU YOU THINK RUclips COMMENTERS ARE? TIK TOK VIDEO FIRST RESPONDERS. WHILE YOU WERE ON TIK TOK, CHILDREN WERE BEING MURDERED. YET YOUR PARTICIPATION, YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SAVING LIVES IS EMOGIES AND KEYSTROKES ON YOUR KEYBOARD. WELL IM SORRY YOU DONT GET TO SIT THERE AND JUDGE, WHILE YOURE SITTING ON YOUR ASS ON FACEBOOK.

@@gordsruby5963 and of course, us humans are being useless to our world. Reason why is because we're starting a extincion here, the animals are dieing because some people just kill animals for sports, humans are dieing because everyone is a idiot even I am a idiot . I don't mean to insult everyone but if we do a part to save the animals and also stop everything worse coming, than we humans could call ourselves heroes
To hear that cops were there in 3 minutes and did nothing makes me sick. The guy in charge gave the order to stand down was an epic failure.
There needs to be higher hiring standards for cops and accountability. A highschool diploma/GED plus a few weeks of training is not enough. And bad cops should be fired instead of kept around.
They should have pushed his big ads out the way and rush the classroom or send in a robot.
Update: His grandmother is in stable condition and is expected to recover.
However this something that should NOT be happening and measures should be taken to prevent such acts
Correct me if I am wrong... But as far as I remember, in training, when responding to an active shooter (at least from the training I remember from around 2012), I remember being taught that we're supposed to run into the building or area to attempt to neutralize the shooter, in order to prevent potential or further harm, even if you're the only responding officer on-scene... I don't know how civilian police is trained in these sort of calls, but someone feel free to chime in.
21 years is what they should get in prison each officer for each person who died on their watch
And the teacher who should have made sure the door was locked

Remeber that a child told reporters that a cop yelled to the survivors to yell out for help if they needed help. A little girl yelled out for help and was then shot by the shooter. Whoever said yelled that out needs to know they got a little girl killed.
so many diffrerent angles! We need a comprehensive timeline from one vantage point to understand!
The police department should not have the option of denying the body cam footage..wtf they work for the public.
The body cams are paid for by tax dollars. The footage is paid for by tax dollars. WE PAID FOR THAT FOOTAGE. LET'S SEE IT.
If they share the footage it will prove one of two options: A) They did nothing wrong, or, B) They fucked up.
The fact that they are not sharing it is basically a confession that they fucked up everything, and it's so bad that even they are ashamed of it.

@@beast-master2094 amen ! No question about it. I’d give every ounce I had to make them safe ♥️
@Sad American A reasonable officer would conclude in this case, based upon the totality of the circumstances, that use of deadly force was warranted,” according to the report. The report referred to the Texas Penal Code, which states an individual is justified in using deadly force when the individual reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary to prevent the commission of murder
nobody cares 😂
Watching them footage inside the school was maddening. There were a couple of brave ones it seems who were let down by absolute disorganisation, training, fire power and the rest. Rest in love babies.
19 officers in the school at one point... one shooter, i dont have the words to explain how i feel towards those cops, my heart goes out to all the kids and families that have been affected by this, hopefully this is the wake up call
So basically, cops waited till shooter finished doing what he went in to do before taking the offensive. Wow. What a shame.
a complete debacle. the police didn't give two f#-cks about the children or the teachers. COWARDS!!! They were brave enough to block the parents from getting their children, and even threatened some parents with arrest!
Pathetic beyond words.
AGREE
This is simply unbelievable. Horrifying to no end and the worst part is it has happened before and nothing has changed and most likely nothing much will in the near future. It is simply mind blowing.
Why is it there for kids as a father of three watching this first it was fear then there was worry and a lot of anger and then just sadness so sorry for the people that got hurt by this .
My heart will forever be broken by this. 💔
Nobody could have possibly made this more tragic even if they’d tried.
The police ordering any sole survivor to speak up while the gunman was still in the room? Absolutely sickening.
Did anyone else notice all those geared-up, heavily-armed officers running away to safety, then returning for that photo-op once the shooter was dead?
Its like they wanted those kids dead💔
They are STILL botching things. They released certain video footage to the public "before" showing the parents of the deceased. 🤔 Not defending the Cowards but just thought you should know the High Powered Rifle he was using would easily go through any helmet or shield or bullet proof vest they were wearing. Again, not defending the Cowards by no means.

What kind of a human, armed and knowing the shooting was killing kids, just stood there. It’s horrible.
As usual the "thin blue line" mentality is the priority over justice or the lives of children. Cover up, misdirect, plead ignorance, and paralysis by analysis.
Good observation. They want to make us numb so we don't think about this and move on.
COWARDS !!!! Fire them. Strip their pensions !!
From the Lieutenant to the rest of the cops that just stood there and arrested parents that tried to save their kids, should all be under investigation and fired for actually helping the shooter giving him more time to do what he did to those poor children! It still hurts my heart what happened to those kids! 😞
They need to admit they was scared they’d get shot instead of trying to explain what they didn’t do.
I'm tired of hearing about the Timeline. Give us the body cams!
When I was younger I really wanted to be a cop, because I wanted to protect. This infuriates me to no limit, they're there to fight for and protect the innocent. Those babies barely started their lives, didn't even have a chance to fall in love, find their dream job or know the pleasures of eating exotic food and exploring new crazy places. That bastard took that from them, murdered them in cold blood and not one of the officers sworn to battle threats like this did anything. Something has to change man. It has to. The world as we know it is falling apart.
The cops mission is to risk their lives and saves life but instead of that, they let children die
@Tiny Princess well, we need a next civil war I’m thinking, do what the French people did! Until people in government realize we look, we see, and we care for one another as Americans, they will never take responsibility. First step, Get rid of qualified immunity, next I’ll leave it up to the people.
@Tiny Princess When what are the police hear for?
@Tiny Princess if you really support the police in this situation
Whatever harm falls open you I will smile and laugh
This is standard in a lot of schools. Especially elementary schools and schools in poorer areas. This is part of why teachers are so afraid and leaving.
We’re told that it would cost too much money to replace them, it would take too much time to replace them, that we don’t have the resources to be able to replace them.
I’ve been in two schools where the doors to my classroom only locked by key from the outside. It’s not as simple as locking the door and then forgetting about it until you have to hide in a corner. The kids need in and out of the room. Principals, parents, paras, there is a constant flow of people in and out of a room in a day. Please, government, take the burden off of schools to replace these dang doors, and just do it. Metal detectors would also do a lot of schools justice. Do it for the love of all things good in life. Let our kids and teachers live! Let us feel safer. Please!
Apparently the head of police tried to make the excuse “the radio wasn’t working , we didn’t know the kids were in there.”
Which is a downright lie. I watched the full camera footage, sound included. While the police were in the hall outside that class not only could you hear the gunfire you could hear kids from multiple different classrooms screaming for help. Radio working or not they knew those kids were in those classrooms yet chose the cowards way out, how in your right mind can you listen to children being murdered and not make the choice to storm the class. It’s just sick.
If one of Police Chief Arredondo's children was in that classroom, they would have been in there in a heartbeat!
It is a shame that other people's children were just not important to the police chief and his men.
Basically, this is the issue!
@George Prince This is no joke! 18 kids were slaughtered and we need to get to the bottom of it!

sit in that hallway and not go in. With any kind
of gun. Long or short. How grown men sat and
didn't go in. Is insanity. Complete cowards. They
are literally the definition of the word cowards.
And they just stood there, listening. What a horrific horrible thing
You are a police officer, SWAT, or anything law enforcement related, you are obligated to put your life on the line to protect and save civilians and uphold the law. First responders, those who are first to the scene, you can't just wait for orders when every second counts and a potential casualty could've been prevented. However, they needed an entire platoon of officers to take down one active shooter. You may fear for your own life, but these were children with lives ahead of them.
You chose this career knowing you may lose your life in the line of duty, but if you can't commit yourself to the duty of a police officer, if you don't have the courage to face potential death, then you are not fit for this line of duty. These "officers" waited around because they couldn't bear the thought of getting shot, but they didn't have any thoughts of the numerous children who were bleeding out or being shot at.
Almost 100 officers were in and around that school for almost one and a half hours while the suspect freely roamed between two adjoining classrooms as he continue to murder children and teachers.
Meanwhile, numerous officers with tactical shields, ballistic helmets, rifles, breaching tools, and everything else needed to eliminate the threat were waiting just outside the kill zone, yet they refused to go in, violating their active shooter training protocols, academy training, and common sense.
Therefore, these officers are guilty of gross negligence, extreme incompetence, cowardice, conspiracy, or a combination thereof, the findings of which I pray will be discovered within the several investigations that are currently ongoing.
The parents of the innocent children should all get together and just press charges against every single officer that participated, because they are very very much to blame for this tragedy and every cop that was there and did NOTHING must be locked up for life
Those children and teachers should be enjoying their summer right now and it hurts to know that none of them will get the chance to ever experience joy every again
They take an oath to serve and protect. And they did not. Period. Prayers to all the victims and their families 🙏
Response? More like a lack of 😒
Calling them law enforcement is somehow offensive in this story…I can promise you if I was outside that school..they would have had to arrested me because every fibre of my being would have propelled me to get inside..I worked at an elementary school for 10 years, I have no children of my own , however every grown person with a gun a badge and information could SEE what was happening and did NOTHING. This is the worst thing I’ve seen in many years. 😣✌️❤️🌎
But, imagine how the parents/ family members/ loved ones of the dead children and teachers must have felt in the moment and are still feeling up to this day and many more days, hours, minutes, and seconds to come. What a horrific crime it is! If I was their and didn’t do anything, a would bury myself out of shame.
After this, the 15 minute mark will see a lot of dead cops if the shooter is still active.
Good job officers, so brave...I'm speechless...
I'll bet that they would eagerly shoot an unarmed motorist , claiming that "I thought he was reaching for a weapon " , when in fact he was trying to undo his seatbelt , after being told " get out of the car " !!!!!

*4:17** breaks my heart*
They could give the guns to the parents and let them rescue their kids.
Uvalde officers were just following their training; wait till he runs out of ammo, wait till he runs out of kids or just wait till he starves to death. 19 cowards in Kevlar.
no, it's worse than that, because they also attacked and blocked anyone who tried to get in to actually help the kids. waiting is one thing. making sure no one else can save any kids is another.
Texas training 2195 (Active School Shooter) emphasizes responding LEO to aggressively Isolate, Distract and Neutralize the attacker. School police failed to commit.
Show the faces of all the officers that were there and did nothing. Show their faces.
Agree
why people can't do anything about so stop crying
@@princess5625 So you think it’s fine that people that are supposed to protect the community let children get killed and traumatized for as long as possible. Hell no, these officers deserve to go to prison themselves. I even hope these officers die and suffer the same way the children did. R.I.P those beautiful angels and unlike you I hope justice gets served.
77 minutes, 74 of which law enforcement were in the hallway, isn't a RESPONSE it's an after the fact CLEANUP.
God bless this world
Already exactly a month. R.I.P. to all those kids and condolences to all the families. This could’ve been avoided if the officers responded Quicker. This is a wrongful death lawsuit on account of the police . So many children could’ve been saved
I'm not sure if thats how wrongful death lawsuits work. I think you have to be in police custody or effect personally by police hand. Also they wouldn't win that lawsuit most likely. Trying to sue the police for not doing anything won't work. You cant even get them fired for either.
A replacement of the whole police dept is a good start . To protect and serve is on all police cars . Todays cops are narcissistic ego monsters that escalate a lot of problems. I would not trade 1 nurse for 20 cops .
@@Ribstar don’t you think that’s a part of the problem . This whole thing could’ve been avoided. The lawsuit should go towards the school too for not having adequate security
@@RapFanatic4ever yes it is a problem. but the police are not obligated to help you which sucks. they will 100% win the case against the school district because of the door failure which was proven. now the lawsuit against the gun company they might not win because it's in texas or they will just go with a settlement deal kind of like the Mandalay hotel after the Vegas shooting. yes, they did sue the hotel for that.
@@RapFanatic4ever i also have a nice story about why teachers should not prop doors open because of a incident that almost happen at my highschool near the end of this year it was pretty funny. i can tell you about it if you want it was the craziest thing I went through. i graduated last year I just hang out at the school sometimes because my mom works there and I am visiting for the summer.
This makes me so sad as a teacher and a mother. God bless those little angels and to their families!
Lindy, what are your thoughts on mandatory tactical and proficiency firearm training for all teachers, along with their education degree? I think in crazy, gun hotbeds like Texas, then this is necessary. Agree? I think the teachers should be armed too. However, in this case perhaps it wouldn't have mattered.
And now imagine their first holidays without their babies. 💔 I couldn't begin to imagine.
Apart from the male teacher was all the children in both classrooms killed?! Imagine being alive around all you. But the poor bodies were so bad they couldnt identify them, imagine being in that classroom. How them children will recover is beyond me
As a security professional I can tell you that the way many Law Enforcement Officers conducted themselves that day was in direct violation of their active shooter training, Academy training, and Common Sense. They were either cowards, grossly incompetent, or following the orders of an unseen Commander with an agenda to allow the murderer to rack up a high body count before they took him out, this providing anti-gun organizations with more fuel to fight their anti-constitution war with. Therefore those officers who refused to Serve and Protect those children and teachers should be charged with negligent homicide.
Thank-you for having the courage to say what needed to be said. This was a complete horror - how could they hear those shots and not rush in and save the children!!!
Please. Enough with the conspiracy theories. Incompetence is more than enough here.
The amount of secrecy (which malice would require) would require WWII levels of clandestine planning and operational security.
In the news I heard they were ordered by the chief to stand there and wait
But is still the police fault for not entering bravery and ignoring the chief even if it cost his job or life
Question: who REALLY IS this Salvador's grandfather? Why he shot only grandma and not both of grands? Is grandfather in any relationship with city mayor or school administrators or chief of police? That he maybe begged that police wouldn't shot his grandson crazy Salvador? Must all of it investigated properly!!!!
The officers that held armed parents back are nearly as bad as the shooter. The chief is a coward that willfully neglected duty at every turn.
child: mom, i'm going to school now!
mom: ok honey, don't forget your vest!
I assure you that if given the chance every single parent knowing that their child is inside one of those classroom would have ran towards their child to rescue their precious baby and not run away. This is what hurts the most. These parents were not allowed to attempt to rescue their babies.
If they released the crime scene photos and made them public, this 'dancing around the facts' would be over in seconds. When they ask for dental records it tells you everything. Those on the fence need to see the full reality of this madness.
😥😥😥JUST AWFUL...
I've seen worse on Liveleak. So have millions of others. It would do nothing.
@@tdestroyer4780 There are not pictures of brutally murdered children on Liveleak. Stop making things up.
@@tdestroyer4780 I'M CERTAIN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN STUFF LIKE THIS BUT NOT A LOT OF US HAVE😥💁🏾♀️
@@chrispnw2547 Um? Have you not seen the terrorist attacks in the middle east that deliberately target children and girls schools? Like in the Syrian war by western funded opposition.
biggest shooting response failure in modern american history, how sad that this is how those officers will forever be known and remembered...for what they DIDN'T DO 🤦🏽♂🤦🏽♂
This is a prime example of what happens when departments lower their standards to allow anyone to join a police department that goes for local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Further more training is just checking the box you can have all your inservice training in a class room, but almost no training on actual physical training, the majority of officers are fat and out of shape that is a danger to the community, 95% of police officers are incompetent in weapons knowledge, manipulation or tactics and some are just cowards, prime example Uvalde. Police officers are a para-military organization with rank and structure similar to the military, unfortunately our own military is suffering the same fate, there are no strong leaders any more. Maybe ABC can report on that.
Good visual synopsis
I am so heartbroken for all the family's! 🙏❤
“The Tragic Truth”, a poem -
Children in extreme peril,
pleading for rescue.
Hundreds of officers were at the scene.
What did they do?
They failed the children.
We all see that is true.
The call from inside the room, was that from the little girl that said she had been trained by her dad for a situation like this, or was it from someone else?
Never saw a police response like this. So many more lives should have been saved. My heart goes out to the victims’ families, not just for their losses, but for their beliefs that more kids could and should have been saved. 😟
I would've snuck in like some parents did to get their kids.
Cowards.., every last one of them!
Law enforcement on scene even disarmed a fellow off duty law enforcement officer who was attempting to aid the children.., but waited an hour to go in!
Pathetic cowardice
With this knowledge., we NOW see that the inaction of law enforcement on that day was more relevant than the weapon used.
Constitutional Carry Nationwide NOW
Yeah, all the kids should had guns to defend themselves. If each of them had a gun all this wouldn't have happened
The area police budget goes higher, and the police are afraid of shooters, what is the budget paying for?
Is this the final, final, FINAL version they want to stand by?
With all the changes made in the last month, it has been really hard to keep track.
Everyday in school, I would think of ways to save myself if this happened. A decade of my life, going to places I believe to be my grave. We are children yet this is what we are going through for years...YET adults who claim to love and cherish us let us die.
@Jörm Yeah man, the parents willing to break into the school to save their children actually would die for them, not the case for the officers.
