I was in high school during Columbine and that was supposed to be the watershed moment where everything changed. Apparently, in some places, nothing ever changed.
The key comment I took from this full hearing was McCraw answering one of the committees question relating to delay, in which the chief always had some sort of excuse not to breach, whether that was the weaponry, shields, classroom keys, man power, barricaded subject, etc. Now we are learning all of those reasons he went through to not to breach were just false. I hate playing Monday morning quarterback, who knows what I would have done in that situation, but if you are scared for your life and officers onsite are questioning your thought process under duress, be man enough to step aside and hand over responsibilities to another officer. It is so damn refreshing to hear McCraw be honest and call out a "brother in blue" when he deserves to be called out, vs. protecting him cause he is a cop. Its sickening when cops lie or cover up garbage for other officers because they have this complex where they need to protect another cop, even if it hides the truth and covers up misconduct.
@@brianford2974 Pick you brain all you want, a school shooter should not be negotiated with, ever. MORE EFFORT WAS PUT TOWARDS THE BANK ROBBERY, MORE COPS, MORE SHOTS FIRED, STEADY AND CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE GUNMEN. This is very revealing, The police, are most likely responsible for this event, or give word to allow the shooter to do as much damage as possible.
All the key talk and the damn class was unlocked the whole time. Arrendondo was wasting time. None of those cops tried to open door. Two cops that ran up first time were hit with sheet rock while killer was killing kids, ran off and those two nor any other cops got close to the door again until national guard got there at 12:50 and killed suspect.
@@thinking1085 that's what they want you to believe.. it wasn't. There is interviews of at least one student confirming the door was able to be locked. Exclusive: surviving student in uvalde elementary school shooting details what she saw
Every sworn officer at the school.. aside from the BTAC officers that killed the shooter… should be immediately fired in disgrace.. anyone that delayed action should be prosecuted. It’s really not that complicated.
And how did the 18 year old shooter gets his assault rifle and ammunition? Easy to shift blame if it's not you who have to respond to this horrific events hey. It's your amendment right to bare arms, right?
@@karinkoen9767 No you’re right.. the child’s bodies I had to step over where in Iraq and Afghanistan. There isn’t a weapon in the world that couldn’t have done the damage he did in the amount of time he was given.
It been decided in the US supreme court that officers have no duty to protect citizens. Whilst I believe if you sign up for Law Enforcement or Military then you sign up to keep your country's citizens safe, if the Courts are setting a precedent that an officer has no obligation to protect people, that is where you need to start protesting for change. What I still can't believe is the Mother that ran in, without any weapons or armour, and got her kids out while the shooting was still active. All while the cops sat back and watched until it was safer for them. Something really needs to change.
I think it's respectable to not throw the lower "employees" under the bus, but seriously, if there are 11 of you in the building, you don't need to be told to do your job.
I think they were more afraid of disobeying the chief and being wrong. If a cop disobeyed the chief and charged inside and someone died because of that decision, well that cop wouldn't be hailed as a hero at all... in hindsight the chief was a moron and coward, but in the moment, officers probably didnt know that for 100% certain
@@BrandonWilson-lw6vh Those police officers(COWARDS) had no business holding a weapon in the first place. There were children inside with an armed KILLER. Go sit down son.
More than 20 cops were there I hope you saw the video by now, embarrassing and disgusting. Getting sanitizer and checking Apple Watch waiting for lunch while those babies are wailing for help.
@@BrandonWilson-lw6vh honestly at that point your job isn’t important, saving tiny kids is. Who gives af about orders or being fired. Chief arrendondo was wasting time on purpose. Lied about locked classrooms when they were opened and requests all that extra equipment and still didn’t send anyone in so it was up to the 20 cowards standing there to help dying and kids in danger. They should’ve stayed at the station for lunch instead of holding parents that wanted to save their kids. In 77 mins I know some of those kids could’ve been saved. Waited until national guard and border patrol got there. So in other words they were waiting for suspect to empty his weapon so they could go see the show and head home for dinner.
So we now know that Radio Communication was not possible Regardless that the Chief didn't have his, the officers that arrived in 3 minutes chose to NOT ENGAGE AS TRAINED. Fire those officers and charge them with a crime.
I want to know why the police radios didn't work inside the school. The whole point of the radios was to assist communications in the even of an emergency in a school. What good are the radios if they don't work in the ONE PLACE they needed to work. Did no one check to be sure they worked properly? This is beyond incompetence and on into criminal negligence
Who was responsible for making sure the exterior doors are in the locked position and classroom strike plates are engaging with lock? Why didn’t someone try to a least check the door handle to make sure it was locked? They had an hour to come to a conclusion that the shooter MUST have entered because the door was unlocked. If the chief ordered that the windows in other classrooms be shot out in order to gain access to children, why didn’t he order the windows in rooms 111 and 112 be shot out? This would have given police a better chance of locating the shooter and/or even begin to distract and engage the shooter. The chief needs to be fired. PERIOD. At best, he didn’t possess the skills needed to take down an active shooter. At worst he was too scared to do what was necessary to engage with the shooter. He has blood on his hands for his inaction that terrible day.
I think everybody who touched the door that day while it was unlocked feels some (misplaced) guilt. I know I would. We need to remember teachers, aides, janitors, subs, etc, are not security experts (like the cops supposedly were). It was also the last week of school where staff would be moving things from their rooms during their prep periods, getting their rooms ready for the summer, cleaning out clutter, etc... all that would have them coming in and out of the building regularly. Someone who is inexperienced with school doors could accidentally unlock the door instead of just gaining entry and leaving it locked. I really feel for all the staff at Uvalde who are going to be haunted with all the what-if's. But ultimately it was not a careless staff member, or even LEO failure that caused this to happen. The shooter did. We must all not forget that.
At the end of the day the school security guard wasn’t even on campus. Why wasn’t he there? He could’ve shot suspect dead in the back while he was walking up there had he been there.
The room with the strike plate issue was locked. He knows how the suspect gained access to the key, he's simply manipulating the truth.. The suspect gained access to the key , when the teacher went to go lock the door.
He definitely was at fault and should be fired if not charged with criminal neglect. However, those other officers in that hallway during that hour of time should have disregarded the Chief’s command knowing there were kids inside those rooms and hearing sporadic gunfire from the killer. They should have gone in immediately to engage, distract, and killer the killer because that is the standard protocol for an active shooter scenario since Columbine (1999). The chief thought it was a barricaded subject scenario (so he says) was his reason for not giving the order to immediately go in, however, once the officers hear gunshots from inside the classroom, it immediately turns into an active shooter situation. And the officers heard gunshots every so often, some were even directed by the killer at the door itself in his attempt to injure or kill any cops on the other side of the classroom door. So there was no excuse for any of the officers to not go in immediately.
I’ll agree, these meatheads cant even comprehend why this event happened. And, they want to act like they know how to prevent it? Well, yup. The dumb leading the blind.
59:55 Absolutely WRONG!!! There is absolutely NO deficiency in training. You can't teach "don't be a coward"--you can only weed it out (and it's clear they don't--at least for school campus officers). p.s. I'm a coward--I'd like to think I'd charge the gunman, but I'm not going to pretend like I know what I'd do in that situation--I'm also consciously _not_ a police offier.
@@wjadam815 My father was drafted into WWII (I'm actually "too young" for that to be true but it is). He didn't willingly enlist and he had at least one story where he damn near died (he also had a lot of stories about getting drunk and women while in the military during WWII). I have no doubt that he would have charged that gunman. But that's because I knew the man. I don't think "this generation" is better than "this generation" holds a lot of water.
@@bennattj I'm not comparing generations. I just gave you an easy example. I could have mentioned any number of historic events that prove you can train men and women to be heros. Plus, you don't know who I am or who I know. Maybe I was drafted, maybe I came from a long line of drafted people. Maybe I'm from some country where you have to join the military at 18. Or a place with more AK-47s than government. Anyway. I went to my brothers kids school for a play the other day and the only cop was a really overweight lady. I don't live in texas but I know without a doubt they have cops that can't pass a PT test too. As a conclusion, you can train heroism and this has noting to do with specifics.

This was a catastrophic failure by the Uvalde PD overall, starting with the Chief of Police! Cowards! They detained parents that attempted to break in the barricade to go in and rescue their children! Why? An armed civilian without any proper training would have done a better job than the police department did.
Dps had over 200 officers there, this is one Steve macraw especially since he was one the phone with the ranger seen in video talking on the phone. No wonder he went so hard at chief Arredondo to begin with. It’s going to be revealed that chief Arredondo was ordered to stand down by DPS.
Absolute cowards. Incompetent, bumbling buffoons. And some of these guys should go to jail. Pete aradondo for sure should go to jail. It's more than incompetence.
So... The LEO'S in the hallway, outside the classroom, to where the shooter was. Did not check to see if the door was locked or unlocked? WTF.... Also, since the shooter attended that school. He would have had prior knowledge of those doors, if they were locked or unlocked. So this explains how he gained access into that school and that classroom. Even after the teachers shut the outside door and the door leading into that classroom. The doors were unlocked. This leads me to my next point: why didn't Chief Oridondo, (I think I spelled his name correctly) have that knowledge. After all, isn't that what he's getting paid to do? Possessing knowledge as to every aspect related to safety in and around that school? Or was he too busy moving up the chain in the political world? Also, ok the inhouse 'walkie talkie' system didn't work. But, the cell phone system does work. Because one of the students made a phone call from one of the classrooms. Why wasn't cell phones exclusively provided for in-house usage? This is another mistake that this Chief made.
They didn’t check anything they are Cowards! They didn’t do anything because not one of them had a child in there that they cared about. This would of been a totally different case. These guys should be looking for a different line of work. Obviously they are no cut out for police work
Why aren’t the local LE testifying here as well? All LE units that were there need to go in front of congress and take the hard questions. Immediately! Before they forget everything that happened.
Babies died! How about you quit giving ANY law enforcement kudos for their brave actions! Babies died because all those tough cops stood and looked mean, made sure their sunglasses and tattoos were seen by the cameras, a few even scowled appropriately, but NOBODY did what they were trained to do. COWARDS!
Mark W, I was thinking the same thing when I watched the video of them all in the hallway. They seem to put a lot of effort into looking the part with their sun glasses and tattoos like you said but what they need to really be doing is acting the part! How about the one sanitizing his hands!!?? The whole thing was beyond disturbing to watch!
@@kalliet2390 I have a good friend who was Special Forces then did private contacting work overseas for years. His intensity and drive used to make me uncomfortable and I'm his friend. Those guys need to protect our children, not the people we saw in those videos!
1:24:15 this sums it all up... arredondo always making a reason to wait. officers were in a tough position to disobey the CHIEF. he was first on-scene and was a coward. i bet officers would have went in if he wasn't there stopping them. (also, if you missed it, the door to the room wasn't even locked and no one ever tried the doors. and windows were another option. and rifles, manpower, shields were all available early-on.)
Not one in anywhere from 90 to a 150 officers had the balls to disobey that order? So they train you in the academy to be pathetic yes men and you agree to it?
@@scottaznavourian3720 at least watch some of the video before you comment scotty. mccraw addresses this at 1:25:00. The context is that chief was first on-scene and was telling people it was an office instead of a classroom, and calling the shots. disobeying an order from the chief is a big deal so an officer would have to be 100% certain the chief was wacked out and the chief did a good enough job of asserting himself, confusing everyone and holding them back. disobeying the chief and being wrong could cost you your life or livelihood or could face charges. ALSO mccraw said at some point in the video that teacher mireles husband who was an officer tried to go in and they detained him, took away his gun and escorted him out. what message does that send to any other officer who wants to go in? initially i blamed them all, but after this testimony i only blame the officers for not banding together to overthrow the idiot chief. if the chief had instead ordered his officers to ENGAGE then the officers would have surely followed his order just as they did to stand down. arredondo is the real coward and fool here
@@vincentc2466 so you tellin me dispatch never came over any radios after the what, 3rd call from the teacher sayin there was 8-9 kids still alive in there? Not when she said many fatalities in the second call? Nothing came over the radios? Kids cryin and screaming, that we can hear in the unredacted videos, that they continued to believe it was "just an office"? Really? No. They were all cowards. Disgusting cowards and they are the reason those sweet babies died after the fact. Period. They all should have said no, I ain't standin here and gone against "orders"
@@vincentc2466 the information on the lock is bs.. That door was locked and he knows it. The suspect locked the door from the outside after he obtain the key, from the teacher. She went go lock the door and he pushed his way in. Killed her, went back into hallway, lock the door, re entered the room and shut the door.. The other room the suspect never entered the room , he shot 4 times into the room. The door only locks from outside iis just manipulating the truth.
@@PettyPatty.TM. after seeing the full video... it doesnt look good. The officers got there after the screaming though but since one officers wife was in the room and she called him, he should have known and everyone else too. Im sure some of the 911 calls were relayed to ppl in the building even tho their radios werent working inside. It looks bad. Chief is worst though
Is he really sitting there play tik for tack with these people? “ alleged “ “ reason to suspect”??? The active shooter walked into the school and killed kids. The police chief did not go in, let alone was prepared for duty, and didn’t let any officers go in and handle business. This isn’t game here, the chief is responsible for this disaster and they need to question him and fire him
WTF?!? Now I'm even more confused about the locks. How in hell are are these complicated doors that only lock from the outside & require 2 keyes to unlock a good idea? If he had set the school on 🔥, they would of been trapped. It basically corals all the people in the classroom & makes it easier to shoot them thru the door. Making a teacher step out to lock the door, puts them in the line of fire. The doors should lock & unlock from both with a simple & singular key. Trapping them in the classroom & counting on some nitwit to show up with 2 keys makes them confined easy targets, absurd & dangerous. Also, it's pretty important for the teachers to stay alive. If the teacher gets killed by stepping outside to lock the classroom door, than how will the kids go on without their guidance? Pretty dumbs AF setup.
Makes me wonder when the last inspection was by the DOI office of OSFM was done as well as OSHA and what TX laws are based on requirements. I'm also curious if teachers and others know that you can discreetly report these issues that seem unsafe to your fire marshals or OSHA and by law they have to keep you anonymous if requested. My local fire marshal handled a report the day of a reported door issue and fined the company $10,000.
The doors always remain open from the inside (fire code). Classrooms are outfitted with a regular key and a lockdown key. The first key operates normally and the second only locks the door. They are nice because they work on every door in a building to lock them, but if somebody gets ahold of one- it's no good for entry, just to lock. It obviously failed this time.
They only can search for stupid solutions cauze of the NRA supported politicians. Imagine the solution of a shooting is to close the door. Police had guns but no balls, welcome to Texas USA.
@@spammy1982 It was IMPOSSIBLE to lock the door from the inside. It should be easy to close and lock a door in case of an active shooter or just have the door locked as a precaution. It seems so simple to me that those kids would be alive if the teacher could have locked the door quickly and easily from the inside.
@@spammy1982 Okay that makes it slightly better knowing they were able to use the door from the inside if necessary. The so called officials in this tragedy are a mess. They ALL should step down. How can anyone expect them to lead or keep people safe, if they cant even get their protacals and PR right? This type of lockdown method is cleary not suitable or reliable. It failed them not only once, but twice. The exterior door and the classroom door. I still don't agree with it being only secured from the outside. The shooter could easily shoot the teacher while locking the door and/or gain quick access while the door is ajar. There has to be a better way. Teachers remaining alive is crucial to children being able to walk away alive from these types of horrific circumstances. Especially when it involves children in this age group. Had the 2 teachers survived in this shooting, less children would have died. Sounds like the teachers were in the process of locking the doors when killed.
The DPS director took great pains to describe the lack of door security in regards to the locks and strike plates, and went on to say that the classroom door could not be locked from the inside, that a key was needed. The shooter was able to easily gain access to both the school building and then the classrooms and yet the police could not access the classroom without a key. They finally did gain entry to the classroom and killed the shooter. What prevented the police from going in earlier? I don’t understand. Is the director mistaken? In any event, DPS chief Arredondo should be fired immediately. In my opinion he should have resigned already.
Exactly. Who opens the school? I'm sorry to say but I almost bet it's custodian or cafeteria staff because they're most likely the one's who have to come in the earliest but either way, the final blame is on administration. The principals job at a school is quit literally the superior management of the establishment. It's their job to maintain accountability.
It's cool to have these meetings.. but there needs to be accountability for people's actions this is absurd that this man is still out in the public on paid leave he needs to be in a courtroom
As I’ve watched hundreds and hundreds of times the movie The Wizard of Oz as a young child w my parents , siblings , grandma, my own kids and now my grandchildren. I can’t help but think of Uvalde now . Shooter - No Brains . Chief Of Police - No heart . Every single officer that just stood there - No courage . And every single child that just wanted to be home . Something much sinister is going on here . Hopefully we’ll find out in this lifetime 😞
Every teacher in The US needs to act like there is a person outside the building with a gun. There were so many failures here that caused innocent children to die.
He said office because he didnt want to say classroom he said riffles because he didnt want to go in, je said baracade becase he ran from the threat, he said keys to avoid opening the door. He said shields becaise he wamted to wait longer. THERE THOSE ARE THE FACTS
These people using still shots instead of actual video of these doors. If someone is sensitive of a door being shown they can go to Hell. We're trying to get justice for these kids & teachers.
If you saw the footage that was just released you will see those pigs shouldn’t have even shown up. Held parents back from saving some kids and gave suspect all the time he needed while those babies were wailing in agony and they did sanitizer down the hall and checked their Apple watches.
@@lylarose2696 What? SMH arrendondo needs to be charged but every cop that refused to use common sense and get in there also need to be charged. They arrived in 3 mins. The whole second class could’ve been saved.
A QUESTION FOR THE BRAVE MAN: With all due respect, Sir, but can you give me an example of when the Active Shooter Plan has BEEN SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED? *In fact, the UVALDE POLICE OFFICERS WERE THE FIRST CITY COPS in US HISTORY TO ENTER A SCHOOL BUILDING WHILE THE GUNMAN WAS STILL ALIVE!* Most other jurisdictions surround the building, hide behind 🚔their patrol car, and shout to the gunman with a 📣MEGAPHONE! They do not enter the building until after a 🔫sniper has killed the gunman from afar! *The Uvalde police officers entered the building, and stood inches from a SEMI-AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLE CAPABLE OF PULVERIZING AND BLASTING THROUGH A CONCRETE WALL!* 💥💣
No!!! They do _not_ need more "equipment" (ballistic shields). They need less!!! Semi-automatic pistol fire from several officers entering the room would have IMMEDIATELY resolved the situation with police fatalities instead of CHILDREN!!! The officers got an "order" that justified their cowardice. They do not need more armor, they need to do their GOD DAMN JOB!!!
So the protocols are to not get students OUT the classrooms through the windows but to gather them in one spot so the gunman can shoot more at once when he comes in the room. Got it.
I’ve watched this video , my question is how was the classroom door locked if it has to be locked with a key from the outside ,Mr. Mc Craw stated in this video that the door can not be locked from inside the classroom which is unbelievable to me , a teacher should be able to lock the classroom door from inside to protect children, I have to know how the shooter locked that door, or was it even locked????? Did they even check the door!!!!
The door was not lockable from the inside, the chief was saying it was locked , but there was no way to lock it, soit could not have been locked ( classroom doors.). The outside doors were not locked, but were supposed to be. Our local small community school, not only has locked doors, you have to enter the office by buzzing a button and be monitored before getting in. No school system, especially in a city should be that open. Parents check localschools and make sure there are proper protections in place!
@@ValorWarrior5258 ... they tried a key and it wouldn't open the locked door...so they asked for the correct key...so apparently they did find at least one to be locked. These commercial type locks dont operate like your home door pass key locks. Teachers open the door by unlocking the door in the morning turning the tumbler open...then turning the tumbler back again to lock it. Then the door wont open from the outside and locks when shut. No operation of the lock on the inside. It slams shut and locks automatically when working properly. The interior handle unlocks the door for escape in emergency like a fire.
SMH theses officers shouldn’t be protectors. They did not do anything smh!thus is all screwed up situation. SMH there was nothing to prevent this all I’m hearing us talking not action being done.
Um....so what 18 year old shares a joint bank account with his parents or grandparents AND is able to access funds freely, again something is off. These people can't keep common sense straight with this story. Suspend reality, that's what they want us to do. Put our brains on a shelf.
@@ayoutubechannel864 nope. I don't buy it. Again, you don't let 18 yr olds have access to your bank account. You set them up for their own. None of this makes sense. Thousands of dollars he had access to? From a Wendy's job or taking it out of the account without notice. Get. Real.
Cameras hidden cameras inside the class rooms that the police can access and see exactly where the shooter is to eliminate what ever hesitation they had to go in
He's trying to distance himself because he knows his department, DPS, were suppose to be in charge & they didn't have to follow any one's orders but their own.
So within 10 days he was able to acquire that much ammo for his specialty guns? Seriously? Do you know how hard it is to get ahold of ammo and extra magazines? Even for BASIC guns ammo is scarce and not in stock these days.
@@billymadison8574 I own a basic .380 auto and I couldn't find ammo anywhere, including online. So that doesn't make sense to me....10 days. Oh and he magically was able to take the money from his grandmothers account without her noticing. sure
@@heatherdean101 That's very different ammo, w/ a very different scarcity issue. I have trouble finding 9mm & 380mm lately but NATO rounds are everywhere. The shooter was using AR's & could fire 5.56 or .223. U can literally pick up same day or just UPS ground ship either one in texas in less than 5 days. The store he bought the guns from had a history of transacting 10k rounds/transaction of 5.56 to known cartel organizations. These rounds aren't hard to find
An official telling the truth instead of hiding behind 'on going investigation' or 'now is not the time''. Hero - (I work with his brother david - good family).

@@harleyjordan7959 I’m not trying to start conspiracy or nothing but there’s just a lot of things that it’s still not adding up. It just honestly does not make sense.
@@harleyjordan7959 Supposedly, the shooter worked at Wendy’s (or another fast food restaurant) and quit as soon as he’d made enough money to buy the guns and ammo and even bragged out his purchases to coworkers who thought he was weird for using his money to pay for guns/ammo instead of a used car or something “useful”. If he was living with his grandparents and not paying rent or bills, it wouldn’t take long at all to make $6k, probably just 2-3 months.
Accepting one cookie will give me suggestions on what they think I would buy - there has to be a way it can read your search history/website views and maybe pinpoint if it thinks you could be a shooter of some sort - at least throw out a red flag to someone to take a better look at that person. Screw privacy!
School doors are made to shelter inside the class. If you turn with a key the door will simultaneously open, if you make a full turn it will lock. It was probably locked. He only heard 2nd hand it was LIKELY unlocked he does not know just guessing removing DPS officers from blame
You must've missed the part where he said that the lock worked on the classroom, but the strike plate didn't, so the door couldn't be secured. As for the outer doors, they were unlocked, not broken. He covered both in his testimony.
@@harleyjordan7959 He never actually says whether the door was locked or unlocked. He said only that the lock was functional (according to a locksmith) but was unsecured due to a malfunctioning strike plate. It seems a dangerous oversight not to know whether the door was actually locked or not since that should be on the list of security measures to prevent a shooter from entering a classroom.
@@harleyjordan7959 Was it school policy to keep the door locked? If so, then an unlocked door would be a violation and put someone on the hook for negligence. The door being in a dysfunctional state is another matter. Did the teacher leave the door unlocked or did he try to lock it? We should learn every detail to learn from it; should we not?
@@thunkjunk he also said the classroom door can only be locked from the outside, with the key - which is idiotic given today's issues. The outer door being unlocked is the problem. Whoever left it unlocked is the negligent one. And seeing as the door the shooter, and the door the cops entered through was unlocked, that's a real problem with the school safety culture, and possibly falls on the SRO who wasn't even on campus. This situation is textbook perfect storm of mistakes and ineptitude.
God help all the families who lost a loved one..our prayers are with you all. Love on all the kids and families who lost a loved one.

This way no one will suffer or feel alone. This tragedy should have never happened. This is a crime in itself how they didn't respond fast to the shooter. We have to understand that the fact that they tried to shut this mom's mouth. The authorities are trained to not go save people in the shooting bcz they want to take our second amendment rights away. Wake up y'all. They had 2 meetings before this shooting so how come they were not going in to doing the right thing to go in and save those kids and teacher's. Something's very wrong with what happened in Uvalde. They are changing the laws to lock us all up for protesting against what they are doing to us. Our constitutional right are being taken from us from the corrupt politicians that want to make money on us. Work us like dogs, pay us unlivable wages and exploit us all. That's why they want to force us to get the Jabola that will shorten our life span so they can take our money/retirement that we've ALL worked for our whole lives for. This is why if you take the Jabola, you can keep your job bcz they know that your life expectancy will be shorten therefore you can keep your job and build up a retirement that they can take from you because they know your life expectancy will be shortened but if you DON'T TAKE THE JABOLAS they don't want you to keep your job so you won't build up a good retirement cuz they'd have to pay you for a much longer period due to your life expectancy. They want your money. We need to change the laws that our heir's can receive our retirement if we still have money WE'VE put in to....why should the government be able to keep our hard earned money?

Officers have no excuse for believing the doors were licked. They were surrounded by other classroom doors and never thought to inspect the other doors to see HOW they lock. They could have determined that the door could only be locked from the outside and that it was impossible for the shooter to lock the door from the inside. They also could have learned this from the person that was helping them to get a master key. Arrodando was a complete and utter idiot. He made excuse after excuse and lying at every turn. They had shields and rifles within minutes!
hmmm... they tried a key and it wouldn't open the locked door...so they asked for the correct key...so apparently they did find at least one to be locked. These commercial type locks dont operate like your home door pass key locks. Teachers open the door by unlocking the door in the morning turning the tumbler open...then turning the tumbler back again to lock it. Then the door wont open from the outside and locks when shut. No operation of the lock on the inside. It slams shut and locks automatically when working properly. The interior handle unlocks the door for escape in emergency like a fire.
What would happen if officers disobeyed those in charge and rushed the suspect shooting and killing him and a couple kids in the fire fight? The public would demand they be prosecuted for murder cuz they disobeyed a command and killed kids!!
And here they go, the committee is going to study this until those children mean nothing but statistics. The kids would say "why was he allowed to have the gun" but they can't.
Wtf is that first noise in the first second… it’s so annoying when people like chew and breathe so loud before speaking a sentence. Can’t even listen to this guy speak
No he isn't that door was locked... The suspect gained access to the room as the teacher was trying to lock the door.. At some point either before or after he killed her, he took the key. He goes back out into hallway. Locks the door ,re enters the room and closed the door. There interview with one the children from inside the classroom that verifies, the gunman entered the room as the teacher was going to lock the door.. Exclusive:surving student in uvalde elementary school shooting details what she saw.. Room 112..the suspect never entered . He shot 4 shots into classroom but that door was locked by the teacher.
I retract my last comment, the director walked in heated and basically disgraced the chiefs handling the situation, then try’s to defend his incompetence?
If I go buy a few boxes of ammo at this store then go buy buy some over there, then buy some online. You think these people are calling around to find out if I been there? Ah no.. many people have stockpiles of guns shells& bullets . I don’t think this store calls around to see if you been there too. This is sounding like, hey never mind what we didn’t do, why didn’t the store call me?🙄
There has been a run on ammo since 2020 because GOP said Biden is gonna take the guns, and then the conspiracy goofs thought there was some Obama Executive Order that took effect AFTER Trump to make ammunition last only 6 months (it was actually faulty primers from Winchester that were recalled summer of 2021.) Realistically, he probably only bought 3-4 boxes of ammunition if he bought online - those tend to be larger quantity boxes to justify shipping costs.
Yes how easy to shift the blame with locked doors...as if a AR can't shoot a lock open. My question would be, how did an 18 year old buy assault rifles and so many ammunition online? If your answer is it's legal, then you know who to blame.

If they would of gotten a whole bunch of inmates that are crazy and send them in to stop the shooter 9 out of ten they would of stopped the shooter immediately because they are afraid of one of their kind

The suspect locked the door after he,obtained the key from the teacher.. The teacher went go lock the door and the suspect entered the room. At some point he obtain the key, went back outside.. shot into the other room 4 times, then locked the door from the outside ,entered the room and closed the door.

@Damian the door lock wasn't broken , it was the strike plate malfunctioning, if you don't know the actual piece that was malfunctioning clearly you can't define what is a valid claim. You apparently haven't been paying attention and simply regurgitating what you've seen on social media. A strike plate is not the lock mechanism it's self. It's very much a valid claim, when piece together all the information. The DPS commander, has never said the door wasn't lock. He only manipulated the truth for others to draw the conclusion he wanted people to come to. There is no evidence of force entry, of course there wasn't. There wouldn't be any if the teacher is the focus point of his aggression rather than the door,itself. The door had to be locked on from the hallway, there enough evidence to know the suspect pattern of behavior allowed him to lock the door. He clearly goes into the room, and moments later steps back into the hallway. If you ever dealt with a strike plate , you know majority of the time,it's simply about positioning of the plate compared to where the lock bolt is. A malfunction also doesn't nessarly mean the door can't be locked, but rather reopening that door can be more difficult, again it's all about the positioning of the strike plate. The was locked.. That is the most logical answer knowing everything involved.

I was in high school during Columbine and that was supposed to be the watershed moment where everything changed. Apparently, in some places, nothing ever changed.
The key comment I took from this full hearing was McCraw answering one of the committees question relating to delay, in which the chief always had some sort of excuse not to breach, whether that was the weaponry, shields, classroom keys, man power, barricaded subject, etc. Now we are learning all of those reasons he went through to not to breach were just false. I hate playing Monday morning quarterback, who knows what I would have done in that situation, but if you are scared for your life and officers onsite are questioning your thought process under duress, be man enough to step aside and hand over responsibilities to another officer. It is so damn refreshing to hear McCraw be honest and call out a "brother in blue" when he deserves to be called out, vs. protecting him cause he is a cop. Its sickening when cops lie or cover up garbage for other officers because they have this complex where they need to protect another cop, even if it hides the truth and covers up misconduct.
My key, relating to LE, Confront the shooter, early and often. What horrible tragedy.

Pick you brain all you want, a school shooter should not be negotiated with, ever.
MORE EFFORT WAS PUT TOWARDS THE BANK ROBBERY, MORE COPS, MORE SHOTS FIRED, STEADY AND CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE GUNMEN.
This is very revealing,
The police, are most likely responsible for this event, or give word to allow the shooter to do as much damage as possible.
All the key talk and the damn class was unlocked the whole time. Arrendondo was wasting time. None of those cops tried to open door. Two cops that ran up first time were hit with sheet rock while killer was killing kids, ran off and those two nor any other cops got close to the door again until national guard got there at 12:50 and killed suspect.
@@thinking1085 that's what they want you to believe.. it wasn't.

Very low IQ people here all around
Every sworn officer at the school.. aside from the BTAC officers that killed the shooter… should be immediately fired in disgrace.. anyone that delayed action should be prosecuted. It’s really not that complicated.
without their pensions.
And how did the 18 year old shooter gets his assault rifle and ammunition? Easy to shift blame if it's not you who have to respond to this horrific events hey. It's your amendment right to bare arms, right?
@@karinkoen9767 No you’re right.. the child’s bodies I had to step over where in Iraq and Afghanistan. There isn’t a weapon in the world that couldn’t have done the damage he did in the amount of time he was given.
It been decided in the US supreme court that officers have no duty to protect citizens. Whilst I believe if you sign up for Law Enforcement or Military then you sign up to keep your country's citizens safe, if the Courts are setting a precedent that an officer has no obligation to protect people, that is where you need to start protesting for change.
What I still can't believe is the Mother that ran in, without any weapons or armour, and got her kids out while the shooting was still active. All while the cops sat back and watched until it was safer for them.
Something really needs to change.
I think it's respectable to not throw the lower "employees" under the bus, but seriously, if there are 11 of you in the building, you don't need to be told to do your job.
I think they were more afraid of disobeying the chief and being wrong. If a cop disobeyed the chief and charged inside and someone died because of that decision, well that cop wouldn't be hailed as a hero at all... in hindsight the chief was a moron and coward, but in the moment, officers probably didnt know that for 100% certain
Yea uv never been in the military or anything...
@@BrandonWilson-lw6vh Those police officers(COWARDS) had no business holding a weapon in the first place. There were children inside with an armed KILLER. Go sit down son.
More than 20 cops were there I hope you saw the video by now, embarrassing and disgusting. Getting sanitizer and checking Apple Watch waiting for lunch while those babies are wailing for help.
@@BrandonWilson-lw6vh honestly at that point your job isn’t important, saving tiny kids is. Who gives af about orders or being fired. Chief arrendondo was wasting time on purpose. Lied about locked classrooms when they were opened and requests all that extra equipment and still didn’t send anyone in so it was up to the 20 cowards standing there to help dying and kids in danger. They should’ve stayed at the station for lunch instead of holding parents that wanted to save their kids. In 77 mins I know some of those kids could’ve been saved. Waited until national guard and border patrol got there. So in other words they were waiting for suspect to empty his weapon so they could go see the show and head home for dinner.
So we now know that Radio Communication was not possible Regardless that the Chief didn't have his, the officers that arrived in 3 minutes chose to NOT ENGAGE AS TRAINED. Fire those officers and charge them with a crime.
They were told by the chief who was there, NOT to act!!!! The chief was over his head and not trained.
I want to know why the police radios didn't work inside the school. The whole point of the radios was to assist communications in the even of an emergency in a school.
What good are the radios if they don't work in the ONE PLACE they needed to work. Did no one check to be sure they worked properly?
This is beyond incompetence and on into criminal negligence
@@doc1time75 To my point is the Chief wasn't first on scene, those that were did not follow training to engage the shooter first.

@@peterstoops5683 nope. Phone stays in my purse till I get to where I'm going.
Who was responsible for making sure the exterior doors are in the locked position and classroom strike plates are engaging with lock? Why didn’t someone try to a least check the door handle to make sure it was locked? They had an hour to come to a conclusion that the shooter MUST have entered because the door was unlocked. If the chief ordered that the windows in other classrooms be shot out in order to gain access to children, why didn’t he order the windows in rooms 111 and 112 be shot out? This would have given police a better chance of locating the shooter and/or even begin to distract and engage the shooter. The chief needs to be fired. PERIOD. At best, he didn’t possess the skills needed to take down an active shooter. At worst he was too scared to do what was necessary to engage with the shooter. He has blood on his hands for his inaction that terrible day.
I think everybody who touched the door that day while it was unlocked feels some (misplaced) guilt. I know I would. We need to remember teachers, aides, janitors, subs, etc, are not security experts (like the cops supposedly were). It was also the last week of school where staff would be moving things from their rooms during their prep periods, getting their rooms ready for the summer, cleaning out clutter, etc... all that would have them coming in and out of the building regularly. Someone who is inexperienced with school doors could accidentally unlock the door instead of just gaining entry and leaving it locked. I really feel for all the staff at Uvalde who are going to be haunted with all the what-if's. But ultimately it was not a careless staff member, or even LEO failure that caused this to happen. The shooter did. We must all not forget that.
You're talking to the wrong guy. Jared B seems to be in his own world or on drugs.
At the end of the day the school security guard wasn’t even on campus. Why wasn’t he there? He could’ve shot suspect dead in the back while he was walking up there had he been there.
The room with the strike plate issue was locked.
He knows how the suspect gained access to the key, he's simply manipulating the truth..
The suspect gained access to the key , when the teacher went to go lock the door.
@@deliriouswhome1 You think the guy had a key? That's really really really really stupid.
What a clusterfuk of a situation this was. This falls on one commander who screwed up and was not ready for prime time when it mattered:(
He needs to be brought up on charges. People died by his inaction
I have an idea. Install some doors that can lock from the inside to stop a shooter from entering the classroom.
He definitely was at fault and should be fired if not charged with criminal neglect. However, those other officers in that hallway during that hour of time
should have disregarded the Chief’s command knowing there were kids inside those rooms and hearing sporadic gunfire from the killer.
They should have gone in immediately to engage, distract, and killer the killer
because that is the standard protocol
for an active shooter scenario since
Columbine (1999). The chief thought it was a barricaded subject scenario (so he says) was his reason for not giving the order to immediately go in, however, once the officers hear gunshots from inside the classroom,
it immediately turns into an active shooter situation. And the officers heard gunshots every so often, some were even directed by the killer at the door itself in his attempt to injure or kill any cops on the other side of the classroom door. So there was no excuse for any of the officers to not go in immediately.
agree...and to hear it breaks your heart little babies innocent of anything pay the ultimate price
the cowards that stood in the hallway with shields and rifles need to be fired.
These are the people in charge of our kids and they can’t even give this guy a mic on his jacket so we can hear him….
this is real life, not a hallmark movie
I don't think he has anything I want to hear anyway.
In charge? Haha. No. You are responsible for your own child. You dump them off there, that’s on you.
I’ll agree, these meatheads cant even comprehend why this event happened.
And, they want to act like they know how to prevent it? Well, yup. The dumb leading the blind.
Shut up
59:55 Absolutely WRONG!!! There is absolutely NO deficiency in training. You can't teach "don't be a coward"--you can only weed it out (and it's clear they don't--at least for school campus officers).
p.s. I'm a coward--I'd like to think I'd charge the gunman, but I'm not going to pretend like I know what I'd do in that situation--I'm also consciously _not_ a police offier.
Yes, actually being in such a situation is the ONLY way to find out. And I don’t imagine school cops are the cream of the crop.

Anyway.
I went to my brothers kids school for a play the other day and the only cop was a really overweight lady. I don't live in texas but I know without a doubt they have cops that can't pass a PT test too.

They detained parents that attempted to break in the barricade to go in and rescue their children! Why? An armed civilian without any proper training would have done a better job than the police department did.
Couldn't agree more
And by DPS
Dps had over 200 officers there, this is one Steve macraw especially since he was one the phone with the ranger seen in video talking on the phone. No wonder he went so hard at chief Arredondo to begin with. It’s going to be revealed that chief Arredondo was ordered to stand down by DPS.

Cowards
Absolute cowards. Incompetent, bumbling buffoons. And some of these guys should go to jail. Pete aradondo for sure should go to jail. It's more than incompetence.
Right
So... The LEO'S in the hallway, outside the classroom, to where the shooter was. Did not check to see if the door was locked or unlocked? WTF....
Also, since the shooter attended that school. He would have had prior knowledge of those doors, if they were locked or unlocked. So this explains how he gained access into that school and that classroom. Even after the teachers shut the outside door and the door leading into that classroom. The doors were unlocked.
This leads me to my next point: why didn't Chief Oridondo, (I think I spelled his name correctly) have that knowledge. After all, isn't that what he's getting paid to do? Possessing knowledge as to every aspect related to safety in and around that school? Or was he too busy moving up the chain in the political world?
Also, ok the inhouse 'walkie talkie' system didn't work. But, the cell phone system does work. Because one of the students made a phone call from one of the classrooms. Why wasn't cell phones exclusively provided for in-house usage? This is another mistake that this Chief made.
They didn’t check anything they are Cowards! They didn’t do anything because not one of them had a child in there that they cared about. This would of been a totally different case. These guys should be looking for a different line of work. Obviously they are no cut out for police work

@@scottaznavourian3720 at least watch some of the video before you comment scotty. mccraw addresses this at 1:25:00. The context is that chief was first on-scene and was telling people it was an office instead of a classroom, and calling the shots. disobeying an order from the chief is a big deal so an officer would have to be 100% certain the chief was wacked out and the chief did a good enough job of asserting himself, confusing everyone and holding them back. disobeying the chief and being wrong could cost you your life or livelihood or could face charges. ALSO mccraw said at some point in the video that teacher mireles husband who was an officer tried to go in and they detained him, took away his gun and escorted him out. what message does that send to any other officer who wants to go in?
initially i blamed them all, but after this testimony i only blame the officers for not banding together to overthrow the idiot chief. if the chief had instead ordered his officers to ENGAGE then the officers would have surely followed his order just as they did to stand down. arredondo is the real coward and fool here

Is he really sitting there play tik for tack with these people? “ alleged “ “ reason to suspect”??? The active shooter walked into the school and killed kids.

This isn’t game here, the chief is responsible for this disaster and they need to question him and fire him
WTF?!? Now I'm even more confused about the locks. How in hell are are these complicated doors that only lock from the outside & require 2 keyes to unlock a good idea? If he had set the school on 🔥, they would of been trapped. It basically corals all the people in the classroom & makes it easier to shoot them thru the door.
Making a teacher step out to lock the door, puts them in the line of fire. The doors should lock & unlock from both with a simple & singular key. Trapping them in the classroom & counting on some nitwit to show up with 2 keys makes them confined easy targets, absurd & dangerous. Also, it's pretty important for the teachers to stay alive. If the teacher gets killed by stepping outside to lock the classroom door, than how will the kids go on without their guidance? Pretty dumbs AF setup.
Makes me wonder when the last inspection was by the DOI office of OSFM was done as well as OSHA and what TX laws are based on requirements. I'm also curious if teachers and others know that you can discreetly report these issues that seem unsafe to your fire marshals or OSHA and by law they have to keep you anonymous if requested. My local fire marshal handled a report the day of a reported door issue and fined the company $10,000.
The doors always remain open from the inside (fire code). Classrooms are outfitted with a regular key and a lockdown key. The first key operates normally and the second only locks the door. They are nice because they work on every door in a building to lock them, but if somebody gets ahold of one- it's no good for entry, just to lock. It obviously failed this time.
They only can search for stupid solutions cauze of the NRA supported politicians. Imagine the solution of a shooting is to close the door. Police had guns but no balls, welcome to Texas USA.
@@spammy1982 It was IMPOSSIBLE to lock the door from the inside. It should be easy to close and lock a door in case of an active shooter or just have the door locked as a precaution. It seems so simple to me that those kids would be alive if the teacher could have locked the door quickly and easily from the inside.
@@spammy1982 Okay that makes it slightly better knowing they were able to use the door from the inside if necessary. The so called officials in this tragedy are a mess. They ALL should step down. How can anyone expect them to lead or keep people safe, if they cant even get their protacals and PR right?
This type of lockdown method is cleary not suitable or reliable. It failed them not only once, but twice. The exterior door and the classroom door. I still don't agree with it being only secured from the outside. The shooter could easily shoot the teacher while locking the door and/or gain quick access while the door is ajar. There has to be a better way. Teachers remaining alive is crucial to children being able to walk away alive from these types of horrific circumstances. Especially when it involves children in this age group. Had the 2 teachers survived in this shooting, less children would have died. Sounds like the teachers were in the process of locking the doors when killed.
The DPS director took great pains to describe the lack of door security in regards to the locks and strike plates, and went on to say that the classroom door could not be locked from the inside, that a key was needed. The shooter was able to easily gain access to both the school building and then the classrooms and yet the police could not access the classroom without a key. They finally did gain entry to the classroom and killed the shooter. What prevented the police from going in earlier? I don’t understand. Is the director mistaken? In any event, DPS chief Arredondo should be fired immediately. In my opinion he should have resigned already.
Arredondo is the police chief, McCraw is Director of DPS.
Both are cowards
I dont understand why nobody ask who and when the outside door is to be lock in a normal school day. crazy.
Exactly. Who opens the school? I'm sorry to say but I almost bet it's custodian or cafeteria staff because they're most likely the one's who have to come in the earliest but either way, the final blame is on administration. The principals job at a school is quit literally the superior management of the establishment. It's their job to maintain accountability.
I really don't like how he claims he could have done something when in reality the only way to stop it would have been to be there.
Idk why they even showed up. They held parents from saving their kids and I bet some of those kids could’ve been saved in 77 mins.
It's cool to have these meetings.. but there needs to be accountability for people's actions this is absurd that this man is still out in the public on paid leave he needs to be in a courtroom
Not on site, how in the hell is he responsible???????????????
As I’ve watched hundreds and hundreds of times the movie The Wizard of Oz as a young child w my parents , siblings , grandma, my own kids and now my grandchildren. I can’t help but think of Uvalde now . Shooter - No Brains . Chief Of Police - No heart . Every single officer that just stood there - No courage .
And every single child that just wanted to be home . Something much sinister is going on here . Hopefully we’ll find out in this lifetime
😞
Oh wow, that is one way to look at it.
WE ALL DEMAND JUSTICE ON UVALDE'S SCHOOL MASSACRE 🙅🙇🙇💇🙇🙅🙇🙇💇🙇🙅🙇💇🙇🙇🙅🙇🙇💇❤️. JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! !
Who is the creepy looking man that sat next to Steve McCraw at this hearing?
Locked school doors do not save lives or prevent assaults. Net lives, net assaults. Bad guys can always get in, locked doors do keep good guys out.
They had one job. Neutralize the shooter! They are all accomplishes just as guilty as the shooter was
Every teacher in The US needs to act like there is a person outside the building with a gun. There were so many failures here that caused innocent children to die.
So what about the door! Said urself he wouldve got in! DONT RUN AWAY FROM THE THREAT!!
He said office because he didnt want to say classroom he said riffles because he didnt want to go in, je said baracade becase he ran from the threat, he said keys to avoid opening the door. He said shields becaise he wamted to wait longer. THERE THOSE ARE THE FACTS
Cops pick and choose who they are going to protect and serve, mostly their friends, family and themselves.
Hope they dont pick you.
You have to wonder about people that can look right at you and lie.
What about the AR15 that was left in an open bag next to the crashed truck. Passerbys have it on video!
These people using still shots instead of actual video of these doors. If someone is sensitive of a door being shown they can go to Hell. We're trying to get justice for these kids & teachers.
Total Cowards! Shameful!
Why would the cops think the doors are locked when DOCTRINE requires them to be locked. Thats a dumb thing to think!
Connect everyone involved with this hearing to a ‘polygraph’ lie detector, or better still give them all a truth drug.
This guy needs to go first, the Mayor says this guy had 14 officers on site, was this guy one of those officers on site. Someone needs to check it.
The scientific literature shows that polygraphs don't work, that is also why they are not admissible in court.
If you saw the footage that was just released you will see those pigs shouldn’t have even shown up. Held parents back from saving some kids and gave suspect all the time he needed while those babies were wailing in agony and they did sanitizer down the hall and checked their Apple watches.
@@thinking1085 actually there were 361 officers on site and McCraw s
Admitted his officers didn’t even bother to talk to Arredondo.
@@lylarose2696 What? SMH arrendondo needs to be charged but every cop that refused to use common sense and get in there also need to be charged. They arrived in 3 mins. The whole second class could’ve been saved.
TWO OFFICERS HAD A CHANCE TO ENGAGE WHEN HE WAS TEN FEET FROM THE DOOR!!
A QUESTION FOR THE BRAVE MAN: With all due respect, Sir, but can you give me an example of when the Active Shooter Plan has BEEN SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED? *In fact, the UVALDE POLICE OFFICERS WERE THE FIRST CITY COPS in US HISTORY TO ENTER A SCHOOL BUILDING WHILE THE GUNMAN WAS STILL ALIVE!* Most other jurisdictions surround the building, hide behind 🚔their patrol car, and shout to the gunman with a 📣MEGAPHONE! They do not enter the building until after a 🔫sniper has killed the gunman from afar! *The Uvalde police officers entered the building, and stood inches from a SEMI-AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLE CAPABLE OF PULVERIZING AND BLASTING THROUGH A CONCRETE WALL!* 💥💣
How many cops were shot or injured during this catastrophe?
2
So is this DPS director the top “police officer” of the state?
If so I would want each one to have a louder voice.
No!!! They do _not_ need more "equipment" (ballistic shields). They need less!!! Semi-automatic pistol fire from several officers entering the room would have IMMEDIATELY resolved the situation with police fatalities instead of CHILDREN!!!
The officers got an "order" that justified their cowardice. They do not need more armor, they need to do their GOD DAMN JOB!!!
So the protocols are to not get students OUT the classrooms through the windows but to gather them in one spot so the gunman can shoot more at once when he comes in the room. Got it.
I’ve watched this video , my question is how was the classroom door locked if it has to be locked with a key from the outside ,Mr. Mc Craw stated in this video that the door can not be locked from inside the classroom which is unbelievable to me , a teacher should be able to lock the classroom door from inside to protect children, I have to know how the shooter locked that door, or was it even locked????? Did they even check the door!!!!
The door was not lockable from the inside, the chief was saying it was locked , but there was no way to lock it, soit could not have been locked ( classroom doors.). The outside doors were not locked, but were supposed to be. Our local small community school, not only has locked doors, you have to enter the office by buzzing a button and be monitored before getting in. No school system, especially in a city should be that open. Parents check localschools and make sure there are proper protections in place!
Classrooms weren’t locked at all, chief of police was wasting time so they didn’t have to get in there.
@@ValorWarrior5258 ... they tried a key and it wouldn't open the locked door...so they asked for the correct key...so apparently they did find at least one to be locked.
These commercial type locks dont operate like your home door pass key locks.
Teachers open the door by unlocking the door in the morning turning the tumbler open...then turning the tumbler back again to lock it. Then the door wont open from the outside and locks when shut. No operation of the lock on the inside. It slams shut and locks automatically when working properly. The interior handle unlocks the door for escape in emergency like a fire.
What lessons have learned. Really! You could have doors that work!
I would wait for the video. I don’t believe until I see the video.
What about gun control? There is no reason that someone needs a gun like that..
Pig patrol never got near the doors
SMH theses officers shouldn’t be protectors. They did not do anything smh!thus is all screwed up situation. SMH there was nothing to prevent this all I’m hearing us talking not action being done.
This guy is amazing saying what needs to be said. He is very efficient with his words.
I like to see a high official telling it as it is so, and not B.S. obfuscation.
did he just say the police responded well ?
"bro" was the moment of nausea for me
Where were the 91 DPS officers?
This DPS Director is 1 lying SOB trying 2 deflect blame away from his bunch of COWARDS!
Um....so what 18 year old shares a joint bank account with his parents or grandparents AND is able to access funds freely, again something is off. These people can't keep common sense straight with this story. Suspend reality, that's what they want us to do. Put our brains on a shelf.
Yeah, NOOOO red flags whatsoever. Once you dig into the info given to us, you can sense the putrid stench of lies and deception

@@spammy1982 💯
Is he joking about it being good to delegate responsibility to as low a level as possible in his own case? 25:00 approximately
He's trying to distance himself because he knows his department, DPS, were suppose to be in charge & they didn't have to follow any one's orders but their own.
So within 10 days he was able to acquire that much ammo for his specialty guns? Seriously? Do you know how hard it is to get ahold of ammo and extra magazines? Even for BASIC guns ammo is scarce and not in stock these days.
It's Texas, .556 ammo is only $0.44/round & it's available in bulk along with mods throughout the state
@@billymadison8574 I own a basic .380 auto and I couldn't find ammo anywhere, including online. So that doesn't make sense to me....10 days. Oh and he magically was able to take the money from his grandmothers account without her noticing. sure
@@heatherdean101 That's very different ammo, w/ a very different scarcity issue. I have trouble finding 9mm & 380mm lately but NATO rounds are everywhere. The shooter was using AR's & could fire 5.56 or .223. U can literally pick up same day or just UPS ground ship either one in texas in less than 5 days. The store he bought the guns from had a history of transacting 10k rounds/transaction of 5.56 to known cartel organizations. These rounds aren't hard to find
Come on. It’s easy to get as much ammo to kill as many people as you want. And just as easy for any monster to get an AR-15.
An official telling the truth instead of hiding behind 'on going investigation' or 'now is not the time''.
Hero - (I work with his brother david - good family).
Where did he get all of the money to buy thousands of dollars of guns and ammo? That’s one of the questions you should be asking too
Joint account from the grandmother. But as far as I knew they were poor, so how she had 6k+ in the bank that he could use to buy all this is still unanswered.
@@harleyjordan7959 I’m not trying to start conspiracy or nothing but there’s just a lot of things that it’s still not adding up. It just honestly does not make sense.
@@lydiaviera1593 agree. I want to know where the money came from too, just to destroy conspiracy nonsense
@@harleyjordan7959 Supposedly, the shooter worked at Wendy’s (or another fast food restaurant) and quit as soon as he’d made enough money to buy the guns and ammo and even bragged out his purchases to coworkers who thought he was weird for using his money to pay for guns/ammo instead of a used car or something “useful”.
If he was living with his grandparents and not paying rent or bills, it wouldn’t take long at all to make $6k, probably just 2-3 months.
It's not that hard for a kid with no car payment, rent, food expenses to save up for something. Think of any teenager saving up for their first car.
Accepting one cookie will give me suggestions on what they think I would buy - there has to be a way it can read your search history/website views and maybe pinpoint if it thinks you could be a shooter of some sort - at least throw out a red flag to someone to take a better look at that person. Screw privacy!
Come on, Texas - let’s use PowerPoint and clip on microphones.
WE NEED TIME TO MAKE THIS AS GOOD AS WE CAN --- AND COVER UP THE REST.
A poorly designed and maintained school and “Only border patrol’s radios worked” *WHOOMP THERE IT IS*
School doors are made to shelter inside the class. If you turn with a key the door will simultaneously open, if you make a full turn it will lock. It was probably locked. He only heard 2nd hand it was LIKELY unlocked he does not know just guessing removing DPS officers from blame
You must've missed the part where he said that the lock worked on the classroom, but the strike plate didn't, so the door couldn't be secured.
As for the outer doors, they were unlocked, not broken. He covered both in his testimony.
@@harleyjordan7959 He never actually says whether the door was locked or unlocked. He said only that the lock was functional (according to a locksmith) but was unsecured due to a malfunctioning strike plate. It seems a dangerous oversight not to know whether the door was actually locked or not since that should be on the list of security measures to prevent a shooter from entering a classroom.
@@thunkjunk whether or not the mechanism was engaged was irrelevant because the door couldn't be secured because of the issue with the plate.
@@harleyjordan7959 Was it school policy to keep the door locked? If so, then an unlocked door would be a violation and put someone on the hook for negligence. The door being in a dysfunctional state is another matter.
Did the teacher leave the door unlocked or did he try to lock it? We should learn every detail to learn from it; should we not?
@@thunkjunk he also said the classroom door can only be locked from the outside, with the key - which is idiotic given today's issues. The outer door being unlocked is the problem. Whoever left it unlocked is the negligent one. And seeing as the door the shooter, and the door the cops entered through was unlocked, that's a real problem with the school safety culture, and possibly falls on the SRO who wasn't even on campus. This situation is textbook perfect storm of mistakes and ineptitude.
God help all the families who lost a loved one..our prayers are with you all. Love on all the kids and families who lost a loved one. Don't forget...Have barbeques every year in remembrance of all those lost so the kids and parents won't get on the depression drugs the doctor's want to prescribe. This way no one will suffer or feel alone.
This tragedy should have never happened.
This is a crime in itself how they didn't respond fast to the shooter.
We have to understand that the fact that they tried to shut this mom's mouth. The authorities are trained to not go save people in the shooting bcz they want to take our second amendment rights away. Wake up y'all.
They had 2 meetings before this shooting so how come they were not going in to doing the right thing to go in and save those kids and teacher's. Something's very wrong with what happened in Uvalde.
They are changing the laws to lock us all up for protesting against what they are doing to us. Our constitutional right are being taken from us from the corrupt politicians that want to make money on us. Work us like dogs, pay us unlivable wages and exploit us all. That's why they want to force us to get the Jabola that will shorten our life span so they can take our money/retirement that we've ALL worked for our whole lives for.
This is why if you take the Jabola, you can keep your job bcz they know that your life expectancy will be shorten therefore you can keep your job and build up a retirement that they can take from you because they know your life expectancy will be shortened but if you DON'T TAKE THE JABOLAS they don't want you to keep your job so you won't build up a good retirement cuz they'd have to pay you for a much longer period due to your life expectancy. They want your money.
We need to change the laws that our heir's can receive our retirement if we still have money WE'VE put in to....why should the government be able to keep our hard earned money? Our Freedoms are being eroded. We must unwind Many laws that are keeping the PEOPLE DOWN ON PURPOSE FOR THE ELITES FINANCIAL GAIN.

Good amendment right to let 18 year olds buy assault rifles, I'm also speechless. Most mass shootings in the world, nice amendment right guys 👍
Good Job? You must've been there you COWARD!
Officers have no excuse for believing the doors were licked. They were surrounded by other classroom doors and never thought to inspect the other doors to see HOW they lock. They could have determined that the door could only be locked from the outside and that it was impossible for the shooter to lock the door from the inside.
They also could have learned this from the person that was helping them to get a master key. Arrodando was a complete and utter idiot. He made excuse after excuse and lying at every turn. They had shields and rifles within minutes!
hmmm... they tried a key and it wouldn't open the locked door...so they asked for the correct key...so apparently they did find at least one to be locked.

@@jwhome9319 You're right. I found more information in the bodycam footage that was released this week.

If I go buy a few boxes of ammo at this store then go buy buy some over there, then buy some online. You think these people are calling around to find out if I been there? Ah no.. many people have stockpiles of guns shells& bullets . I don’t think this store calls around to see if you been there too. This is sounding like, hey never mind what we didn’t do, why didn’t the store call me?🙄
There has been a run on ammo since 2020 because GOP said Biden is gonna take the guns, and then the conspiracy goofs thought there was some Obama Executive Order that took effect AFTER Trump to make ammunition last only 6 months (it was actually faulty primers from Winchester that were recalled summer of 2021.)
Realistically, he probably only bought 3-4 boxes of ammunition if he bought online - those tend to be larger quantity boxes to justify shipping costs.
Yes how easy to shift the blame with locked doors...as if a AR can't shoot a lock open. My question would be, how did an 18 year old buy assault rifles and so many ammunition online? If your answer is it's legal, then you know who to blame.
An AR cant reliably shoot a lock open. TV!!! It might damage the lock to make it unable to be unlocked and opened however!!
You had two swap members present also ....all the excusess aree null and void

The suspect locked the door after he,obtained the key from the teacher..
The teacher went go lock the door and the suspect entered the room.
At some point he obtain the key, went back outside.. shot into the other room 4 times, then locked the door from the outside ,entered the room and closed the door.

@@deliriouswhome1 i watched the interview of chloe and i never heard anything about him locking the door. I of course could have missed it.
@Damian that's not valid rebuttal to my claim
@Damian the door lock wasn't broken , it was the strike plate malfunctioning, if you don't know the actual piece that was malfunctioning clearly you can't define what is a valid claim. You apparently haven't been paying attention and simply regurgitating what you've seen on social media. A strike plate is not the lock mechanism it's self.
It's very much a valid claim, when piece together all the information.
The DPS commander, has never said the door wasn't lock. He only manipulated the truth for others to draw the conclusion he wanted people to come to.
There is no evidence of force entry, of course there wasn't. There wouldn't be any if the teacher is the focus point of his aggression rather than the door,itself.
The door had to be locked on from the hallway, there enough evidence to know the suspect pattern of behavior allowed him to lock the door.
He clearly goes into the room, and moments later steps back into the hallway.
If you ever dealt with a strike plate , you know majority of the time,it's simply about positioning of the plate compared to where the lock bolt is. A malfunction also doesn't nessarly mean the door can't be locked, but rather reopening that door can be more difficult, again it's all about the positioning of the strike plate.
The was locked..
That is the most logical answer knowing everything involved.
