- In a CNN exclusive, never-before-seen video illustrates the moment when a Texas Department of Public Safety captain ordered a tactical team, ready to breach a classroom during the Uvalde shooting, to standby. Shimon Prokupecz reports. #CNN #News
FOUR HUNDRED OFFICERS RESPONDED - Never forget that fact when you see lawsuits flying. This was the most pathetic police response in modern US history.
Agreed. If 376 officers were dispatched and all of them failed to act, *there was a reason other than simply cowardice.
Or the fact that good guys with a gun gets the bad guy with a gun! At least 500 guns at that school, and everyone off those thought it was better for children to die an innocent without a gun, while at least 500 cops with guns hid! 👏👏👏👏👏
Say it LOUDER!! ALL THOSE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS PARTICIPATED IN THE DEATH OF THOSE CHILDREN. NOTHING BUT A CLUSTERF*CK -- TOO MANY DICKS, NOT ENOUGH BACKBONES.
400 Officers - probable Cnn exaggeration.
@@QuantumOfSolace1 YOU’D HOPE! BUT NOPE
400+ police/officers were on stand by for over an hour. There will never be any good reason for this disgusting lack of concern for teachers and children's lives.
And ALL the lies that followed!
@@im2bused Uvalde police came out for trump. Cowards.
@@im2bused The lies are even worse than the cowardice.
CNN(communist news network)!
Sheesh.
A lot of those kids could have been saved if they had received immediate medical care. The "standby" order is basically saying, "Let those kids bleed out." Sickening.
🎯
Not true!
@@MsJanetWood It is, and that's going down in history as a moronic decision.
So they can't even figure out who was in charge. This is beyond disturbing those children could have been saved.
I served 18 years in the army & learned that some orders are unethical & action needs to be taken against such orders no matter what the cost. 🇺🇸
Part of L.E. training is exactly this, to be prepared on scene to countermand an order in order to save lives and subsequently explain why.
Then shot for treason?
@@05FLSTC shot for treason? You must be a Democrat. 😂😂😂
Since ordering to go in would be unlawful ya have this shit backwards
@@steveh7508 oh puhleeze.
I love this reporter! You can tell he cares so much and he is going to get answers. Love real investigative journalism!
This still breaks my heart thinking of those innocent babies and teachers. We have no idea what they went through 😢Rest In Paradise. We will never forget and we will always keep you in our hearts ♥️
❤❤❤❤
"bro one of our officers said his wife got shot and is currently dead or is still bleeding to death, isnt that rad? We've been waiting for 1 hour and 35 minutes now."
Medic: "wtf"
I'm hearth broken by this tragedy.We will never forget the Martyr's of Uvalde.
Every officer that didn’t immediately go in, especially after hearing the 911 calls, has blood on their hands!!!
Exactly! There was enough of them that could have gone in. They all stayed standing around.
To serve and protect.........themselves!
In my opinion that's "depraved indifference" & they _all_ deserve to be charged
They have shields and body armor, and can flank and use stun grenades or other technique to disorient the assailant.
There is something deeper at play here if a individual is trying to prevent everyone from doing their job...
@@tiffanyholman4028 and arrested parents who were ready to go in
“We’re going to hold our officers accountable, no one gets a pass”
Ok, let’s see it…
I think they will pick out a few low level officers to blame. The fault won't travel up the chain of command too far though.
Don’t let’s see, vote out the corrupt!
period!!
ITS CALLED A COVER UP MARK B!!!
@Farriba Habibi I think you mean no BALLS
Hand's up to Shimon 🙌
His reporting and questioning of officials was what kept this from being swept under carpet.
Stop moving the blame around they are all at fault.
This just brought me to tears when the officer from another place arrived and he was urgent and they were relaxed like what the actual fuck I’m sick
*“Quick decisions are unsafe decisions.”*
@@MsJanetWood what?? Are you saying they should’ve waiting
This is the train wreck that won’t end. My heart aches for these families.
They can take solace in the fact that the cops trained and paid to protect made it home safely at the end of the shift.
@@Mark-wg5oz i'm surprised that more police aren't hunted down and terminated
Accusations of who was in charge continues to play musical chairs in order to avoid responsibility. There was someone in charge. WHO WAS IT?
@@Mark-wg5oz the thin yellow line of cowardice
@@Mark-wg5oz Yea...they got your six or whatever tf
There is no one single coward responsible, anyone that was there for 77 minutes needs to be held accountable
Absolutely. How could they just hang around outside, while little children are being slaughtered. I'm just grateful I don't live in the US. I'd be terrified to send my child to school there.
Evidently every police department failed to take action to save the kids because they were afraid to get killed. ABHORRENT
@@elizagrogan9454 Evidently every police department failed to take action to save the kids because they were afraid to get killed. Then they stopped the parents from going in to save their children. ABHORRENT
Your comment makes no sense. It's contradicting. Please retype your comment.
Yes cops waited 77 minutes in the hallways and youtubers waited 77 minutes in their living rooms, tomatoes, tomatos, potatoes, potatos.
I don't know what is changing at CNN, but here lately I've been loving the reporting. It seems they have some actual journalists investigating and bringing us the evidence they find and actual facts. Hats off to Shimon for staying on this
So many months passed but still this news makes me cry. I always cry when I hear any news regarding this.
"What happened in Uvalde was not a deficiency in equipment it was a deficiency in commitment."
Demonic deviant deeds of US repulsive republican white racism ruined government within tyranny terrorism Texas,(and nationwide-us),by killer key fourth level-gruesome Greg abominable atrocities Abbott for killer kabal of putin-jinping-treason trumps,pences,etc. Abbott intentionally prevented law required security of school levels WITH Abbott evil encouraged deadly superspreading of firearms and coronavirus and intentionally unsecured imcarceration facilities with intentionally unsecured prison transportation measures-all-intentionally created deadly atrocities AGAINST Texas by killer key fourth level atrocities Abbott for killer kabal of putin-jinping-treason trumps,pences,gop politicians all levels nationwide in 🇺🇸 US,white racism fiend factions-etc
*and courage...HUGE deficiency there too!
The issue in my opinion is lack of moral fiber, character and courage. I saw a lot of officers here that absolutely wanted to get in there and save those kids. I saw a bunch of cowards as well.
The majority of the problem wasn't the officers on the ground, it was the structure of the police forces and the people in charge. The communication was garbage.
I have said it many times, the institution of policing as it exists today is broken and needs immediate repair. Start with the hiring process.
@@The_Tiffster Also lack of courage to go against the order to stand down.
Lack of cajones is more accurate.
TOTAL AND COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE FROM ALL OF THOSE OFFICERS!!!!
Yes and you watched it all unfold as a youtuber and did nothing to fight in your community. Instead you waited for everyone else to fix the problem.
@@gordsruby5963 what have you done for your community? Just curious
Cowardice and indifference are different than incompetence.
These pigs are just collecting paychecks. They have no interest in doing their job.
@@gordsruby5963 the world watched it and saw trained personnel stand around and wait for someone else to fix the problem.
@@gordsruby5963 You must be a cop.🤔 stop eating donuts and ripping off drugs from drug dealers and do your job.✌️
This angers me so much those poor children suffered and died so scared crying for help and they failed them!!
It's clear the border patrol agent in that clip was misinformed and once he found out what was actually happening he was trying to go in. He was looking at the other cops like "what the hell are we doing out here?!"
So the “ good guys with gun” did nothing for an hour while kids were being slaughtered ?
Correct.
400 of them
That is the only reporter that I've seen that has really gone after all of these fools from day one.
Great comment yet your channels image is that of a terrorist genocidal country/people. disgusting
yah its true he was there since day1 asking the tough questions. god bless this reporter
It’s boils my blood to see that many officers … with tactical gear ,no less,just standing there doing nothing .That many could have taken that POS out.They’re trained to go in …..not wait… if I’m correct.
If your so pissed off about it sign up to be a cop instead of talking tuff I bet you won’t even pass the academy wannabe tuff guy
@@nathangonzales2820 There must have been at least 20 officers in that hallway against 1 perp. So fuck off you nasty bastard troll. Say this shit to my face on the street ,cowardly screen warrior. Go crawl back into your mom’s basement.
The stand back and stand by crowd!
It always boggles my mind how certain organizations are allowed to investigate themselves when they fail at their job in one way or another.
Well, could be because US Police are only required to investigate a crime rather than prevent it? Easier to count the bodies when it's all over.
It boggles my mind that more police have not just been hunted down and terminated for all of the atrocities that they commit
@@MyHandelsMessiah Why not get the ball rolling yourself?
@@dingus6317 if the people could fire the police we would have
The Texas Rangers job is to cover up and protect the Governor and his gang .
It's amazing that there were about 400 Law Enforcement Officers there and not one senior officer stepped up to take command and coordinate or control.
What an absolute joke.
I wish it was funny.
The word your looking for is coward and incompetent
Unfortunately that seems to be the norm these days most cops are just in it for a paycheck and a promotion if they stumble into doing something remotely heroic they run to get in front of a camera
They're in law enforcement for control. They have no regard for public safety. They are ego driven control freak maniacs. They want to dominate over innocence, not protect.
fire sky...a texas saying...'we will think about it 'manana'. that's why texas is last in education...etc...
Common sense tells us this was Gregg Abbott's State DPS screw up and cover up from the start. Great investigative reporting by Shimon Prokupecz who sensed a cover up from the start.
This is really the heart of the argument when we say ‘all cops are bad.’ If you can get 400 officers in one place, all observing a horrific insult to humanity itself, and none of them do the right thing, then it’s not a question of ‘bad apples.’ The police in this country are utterly broken; they’re incredibly violent towards harmless, innocent people while they are utter cowards in the face of true violence. All with zero real oversight or accountability. Any politician running right now would get my vote if they spoke honestly about how broken the police are…
That's not going to happen. One supports the other and look the other way when it's convenient.
SERIOUSLY COWARD COPS!!! One of their own's wife was in that classroom and they did nothing...
I believe that is the gentleman that lost his life to a heart attack within three days of his teacher wife.... Mother to three.... being murdered.
@@honesttruth8064 It might be another case but a man died from a heart attack the day after his daughter has been shot. He wasn't a cop. His daughter was the best friend of the one who survived (and called 911). The girl who survived put her friend's blood on her to pretend to be dead. Such an horror movie. So a mother after loosing her daughter, also lost her husband from heart attack. Such a nightmare! 😔
@@valouMJcalifornia7it was reported that one of the murdered teachers husband's died with in days of heart attack and left behind three children with no parents. Sadness and insanity of this situation is endless.
@@honesttruth8064 OMG ! So he was one more victim. Poor kids ! I just watched the news and saw another shooting happened in St Louis this morning. But the police officers have quickly reacted and the shooter died at the hospital. I think I heard someone had a heart attack but I don't know his conditions right now. It's so sad to see that going to school is dangerous.
Not to mention a uvalde police officer who was in the hallway aswell an he did nothing for his daughter!!He let her die knowing the shooter was in his daughters classroom!!!Cowards!!!!!
And Abbott supported them ! Absolutely horrible . It’s time for change ! Beto this November ! Get hot wheels out of the governors mansion
Time to throw out the corrupt. Abbott and DeSantis of Florida are one of the same. They hide their corruption. They are criminals. They don’t look out for the people of their states. Vote Beto O’Rourke and Hobbs!! VoteBlue Texas!

If I remember correctly, not only did he support them, I’m pretty sure he PRAISED them for their actions that day.
@@maryjanemaldonado7878 yup it’s sickening ! And he hasn’t changed not a single law when it comes to AR access here in texas
Have to agree with this 1000%.
Too many men with body armor, guns, rifles, radios, and tactical gear standing around doing “nothing”… very sad, prayers always for Uvalde 🙏
Well one of them made sure he used hand sanitizer to keep himself protected.
Bunch of dirty little cowards.
To serve and protect - when easy or convenient.
Clean house, Texas. At EVERY level.
I'm in Texas and I vote Blue! This state is crazy nuts for the GOP. Nope, I vote and and I take a stand.
Shameful response by law enforcement. Disgraceful lack of action. POOR LEADETSHIP ON ALL LEVELS.
A family is dead because the local cops let an escaped convict get away, and downplayed the threat to local residents. TX has looked terrible a number of times lately.
I do not know why ALL the police have not been fired !!!! NONE should still have a job !!! 😡😡😡😡 I’m talking from the TOP down … start at the TOP !!!!
ACAB
Not only their jobs, but their pensions also
This report is misdirection. The first agency on scene was the local police, and school police. DPS was just getting out of their way by taking up perimeter security. The chain starts with local, state, then federal law enforcement agencies. CNN is just creating news.
They aren't fired because it isn't thier fault it's the kids
@@steveh7508 we got an conspiracy theorist in the chat....
Wow what a dedicated relentless journalist. Bravo sir.
Another slap on the face of the victim’s friends and relatives 😢
Standby for what?! Absolutely no sense whatsoever
McGraw, Bettencourt and all the officers who were there (which now they are saying over 400) and did not breach immediately should already be gone. Those poor kids and teachers deserved so much better. Is law enforcement in our 50 states ever going to get an active shooter situation taken care of correctly? There is only one response. You BREACH, officers, you BREACH!!!
Don't forget Abbott and his gang of whitees
you breach & then you follow up, not with "thoughts & prayers", but with gun control legislation to prevent repeats. What a bizarre comment to make when you say "Is law enforcement in our 50 states ever going to get an active shooter situation taken care of correctly?" Lets hope not! Lets hope they don't get to have the experience needed to do it right! Ok, that's a dream, but it's crazy imo that you are thinking of that instead of thinking about stopping the shootings to begin with!
No ya don't , I'm sorry ya don't understand how anything works in this country
@@mehere8038 You're completely wrong-headed on that, although I support tighter gun laws. Progressive legislation takes way too long for it to be the primary defense against active shooters. Also, once gun control gets tight enough, vengeful psychopaths will turn to other weapons, including explosives. Let's hear your criticisms of a dependency on tactical responses to active shooting situations when your own child is in that school or your own partner is in that office. Your cries for political solutions will evaporate and your cries for direct police action on-scene will be the only thing coming out of you.
@@craigfinnegan8534 the only reason the police didn't act is they were too scared of the guns the perpetrator had. Compare that response to what happens in Australia if someone pulls a gun, or other weapon cause they can't get their hands on a gun.
Go look at the video of "shots fired at Prince Charles" sure, it's old, but it still shows clearly what happens when someone welds a gun in a country with gun controls! Go look at the Sydney Siege, where one hostage was shot by the perpetrator & the rest of the injuries & deaths came from the police, cause the police nearest to the siege heard a shot from inside & so rushed the door without thinking or waiting for any orders or "do not act" demands from their superiors!
If anyone DARES attempt to use a gun in Australia, there's a universal mobbing of that person by everyone around them! Look at the later murderer in the Sydney cafe, where the customers used cafe chairs and a milk crate to subdue that perpetrator with a knife!
How long since Sandy Hook? That's when your legislation SHOULD have kicked in! That's PLENTY of time between then & now for the appropriate legislation ot have had the desired impact & massively reduced guns & particularly guns of the nature that scared the Texas police & stopped them acting!
No rational person can honestly argue anything other than decent gun controls being the ultimate answer to America's mass shooting problem! It simply does not happen in any other country! "Active shooter drills" are NOT a thing in any other country! Parents do NOT fear their child will not come home because they were shot at school in any other country! It is an American ONLY problem, cause of American gun legislation! The solution is to change that & do the same as the rest of the world does to SUCCESSFULLY stop mass shootings (or other massacres)
From the very beginning there seemed to be something terribly wrong with law enforcement's response. 400 personal on site, and they don't move to over take 1 kid with 1 gun? The reaction of some of the high ranking officers seemed very detached when asked about the murdered children and teachers.
Shout out to CNN and this reporter for making us aware of this, no one else that I've seen or heard is reporting on this.
The incompetence of these officers is incomprehensible.
Maybe they had to contact their union rep for instructions and the legal implications and CYA procedures.
They did nothing wrong
@@steveh7508 In active shooting situations, doing nothing is doing everything wrong.
@@craigfinnegan8534 then why didn't ya do something, why didn't the kids, the teachers , the onlookers.....they are equal parts blame, infact more actually
They were following their number one philosophy, make it home safe, if it was an unarmed guy running away from them, almost all of them would have emptied their guns in that person.
Good reporting,making him answer questions.he was trying to get away.hold all of them accountable
Shimon is doing a remarkable job reporting on this story - he's the dog with a bone and he ain't letting it go until someone is held responsible. I applaud the way he has used discretion and been respectful toward the families as well. I hope he stays on this until the bitter end...he's getting information for these families that officials have tried very hard to hide.
It time for accountability
I don't get how people who are not even on the scene are making such vital decisions.
CYA procedures seem to be the biggest concern for LEOs, nowadays.
As with any police interaction, they respond to whatever is going on in their minds at that moment, no matter what the actual reality is in real time, they've already decided the scenario based on whatever minimal information their brains have glommed onto and expanded with their cop fantasies.
They shouldnt be
Nationwide training and protocol for all of law enforcement agencies, per fbi training is that the first officers responding to an active shooter situation go into the building and seek the shooter. Uvalde ISD just had the training in March. The on scene commander is the first arriving officers, per mandated training. Every law enforcement agency that arrived at the scene and did not immediately enter the building, did not follow established training and policy. All are guilty.
How many Generals are ever on the front line?
The sad part is, these police are trained for this scenario. Why no one acted earlier is mind boggling.
Remember DPS are nothing more then traffic cops! It looks like the real hero’s were the Border Patrol Agents! Go Mean Green!
Because they all have yellow running down their backs.
The Nov. 8 election is far more important to TX Gov Abbott and gang, than being honest and transparent with the traumatized victim families and Uvalde community. They’ve had their answers for months.
My foot he didn't know children were in there. In a school? Who else would be in there and why would a tactical team beach an empty classroom? What a lame excuse. I've always felt that DPS were more for show than action. Life gets a little complicated for people used to writing tickets for broken tail lights and excessive speed when all of sudden they're the ones being shot at. Then they get weak in the knees.
Who else would be in there? Dem pedo furry groomers pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda. /sarcasm
He thought the suspect was no longer an active shooter and was merely barricaded
The amount of poor communication and cooperation in this shooting is staggering
@@alkazar625 Worse than poor communication. Kids were still making 911 calls.
@@jktolford8272 their excuse could be legitimate. Maybe somehow they didn't hear the 911 calls. This situation is so fucked up if that happened
Thank you Shimon for staying on this and bringing us the hard and painful truths of this heartbreaking event. My heart goes out to all the families, teachers, and students who are enduring pain and trauma to this day.
Worse! 400+ officers were on standby! Kids are calling 911. This is completely inexcusable. Wow!
Can we talk about locking up the insane sooner and for life as we once did?
We had lots of safeguards in the past for getting young men off the streets and the majority of crime by young men
Can we talk about starting up peacetime draft?
Can we talk about allowing cops to stop and frisk
The Highland park shooter was dressed as a woman
In days past that would have been enough for police to stop and frisk Had they that mass shooting would not have happened
Can we talk about volunteering?
I was a parent volunteer for 10 years because of school shootings
Can we talk about people being volunteer reserve officers instead of just complaining?
Can we talk about enforcing trespassing and vagrancy which prevents lurkers?
Can we talk about enforcing immigration that would have prevented 8 people from being stabbed in Las Vegas by a guy from Guatemala?
CNN is just keeping the sheep distracted from the truth.
These coward sheep dogs will all get away with it like they did in parkland, columbine and so many other places.
@@silentmajority8365 wow. The sheep is calling for America to be like China sooner.
Welcome to America, land of the sheep and home of the cows.
@@candygurl nah. Most Americans don't know SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that government agencies have no legal duty to "serve and protect" the sheep from harm, which is how these 376 coward sheep dogs will all get away like they always do.

The fact that we have a "School Police Department" shows that we have a serious problem as human beings.
What the hell they stood right outside of the classroom for over a hour as children was riddle with gun shots to the point their little bodys was un recognize to the point the parents had to give blood for DNA testing. 400 law enforcement stood by and did nothing.
*The gunman shot 100 rounds for 4 minutes straight with a SEMI-AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLE, AR-15! The kids that got shot, were dead long before anyone called the cops!* 🔥⚡
People argue that you need guns to protect yourself and others. But it takes courage, not just a gun, to “protect”.
2a rights aren’t limited to those with “courage”.
I hope they are sued and fired
They'll never lose a dime. They all have qualified immunity. It's disgusting.
What did they do wrong ? Nothing is the answer
@@steveh7508 exactly they are not required by law to protect anyone
@@nathangonzales2820 correct they are legally law enforcement and have no duty to protect, it's a person responsibly to protect themselves
All these God damn cowards it's infuriating every single one of them knew what they would have done if it was their kid and yet they did nothing. I hope every single officer carries this to their grave and I hope that every parent is allowed to sue them all
The more I hear about this the more my heart aches for those parents omg
thank God Shimon has caught these officials in all their lies. he has done more than anyone to try and bring truth to the families
I hope they protect the person that broke this story, if those officers are willing to let children die, only God knows what they are willing to do to make this go away.
Too late for that. Too many eyes 👀 on them now.
They harassed a young mother who went around them and rescued her own children. Bullies are always cowards...
I get the feeling this reporter is so committed that he'd happily give his life if it meant someone involved in letting that slaughter of the kids happen, would be charged with murder & jailed
You let the kids get shot you did nothing stop blaming other ppl who aren't responsible
Make it go away? Impossible
Please keep reporting on this story. It’s sad that people in Texas still back the blue with pride after seeing this absolute failure unfold before their eyes… almost 200 Texans and Tejano‘s died facing 3000 in the Alamo,but in 2022 almost 400 Texas officers cower in fear of a single 18 year old…
Every single one of those "officers" who stood by and did absolutely nothing while children were being slaughtered, needs to be prosecuted and held accountable. They are just as guilty as the shooter in those deaths. How many might have been saved if they had actually done the jobs they were hired (and sworn!) to do?
What law says they are “guilty”? Literally none. You are literally just making up shit, keyboard lawyer😂 the Supreme Court already established that police are not obligated to help anyone
There is some serious corruption going on in that community. Amazing to watch 400 armed men just standing around while kids are slaughtered.
What happened to " good guys with guns can stop s bad guy with a gun"?
400+ police with guns couldn't stop one crazy 18 year old killing children and teachers in one room for over an hour?
Such BS !
Like I've said a million times...It just keeps getting worse. Please don't let up. They are counting on people's attention to move on.
Disappointment, the police officers should be ashamed of themselves. They allowed those little kids to die in a horrific manner. They should have done their jobs. They needed to protect those kids instead they stood out there doing nothing. What's worst is that everything they said were lies. Didn't want to take accountability, so they decided to hide the evidence. Honestly , when this shooting occurred it really broke my heart. I wish those parents one day are able to heal as well as those young survivors who experienced war in their classroom. I will pray that one day they are able to find peace.
Wow.. Heavily armed & "trained" officers did nothing and an unarmed civilian mom was able to run in & save her 2 kids..😳
That DPS captain must be fired, jailed and not allowed to work on law enforcement anymore. This is sickening. I hope he gets to sleep soundly at night knowing what he did cost the lives of 19 innocent kids and 2 teachers.
He could probably be sued for contributing to the deaths, emotional damage and breaking rules that say to engage.
3:42 Man that EMS is ready to go and he may not even be armed. This is exactly how officers should be; kids in danger, active shooter, no craps given going in.
No thinking required of them even. You BREACH! Period. Every Time!!! Because you know this will not be the last school shooting. BREACH, officers. That's all you need to know.
Except he didn't... No one did. For over an hour.

Lmfao nah but be sure to get boosted Bill can't wait forever
Beto is a joke.
Beto isn’t the answer he is exploiting the Hispanics
The invenstigators need to be investigated. Any prior histories of ‘selective protections’.
From the first day there has been no accountability.
Can't help but wonder how resistant this police department was to body cams. Thank goodness we have them, otherwise we never would have known as much about this.
This idea pretty much needs to be applied to every police department that has ever put an officer on 'administrative leave'.
They aren't responsible....how don't ya understand that
How about those complaining become cops?
Oddly enough had we still locked up the insane for life and enforced immigration that shooter would not be anywhere near school kids
Nope. These sheep dogs will just either take a long vacation or move on while being pay by the sheep as always.
This guy Bettencourt, the fact he wasn't even on scene, but he was on his way to take situational command, makes me think that he wanted to get the credit for taking this shooter out. That's why he told them to hold until he was there to lead the breach and take the credit. I believe he wanted his name in the headlines as the guy who stopped the shooter and be the "hero" of the day. He wanted his 15 minutes of fame, just not the way his name is going to be in the headlines now.
That is what a lot of people are beginning to realize. Why did 376 LEOs rush to the scene and then stand around for 77 mins?? What or who were they were waiting for?
@@ruthpicon2203 exactly.
I watched that top supervisor answering questions and thought if I showed up for work in that condition I would have been sent for a drug test. Drug tests are mandatory for many occupations. Why not law enforcement?

@Babs Kaz design for what?
Shimon kudos to you for speaking so nicely with the DPS chief. I couldn’t have done it.
Literally every complacent officer should be placed on death row or at minimum life in prison. Firing is not enough.😢 400+ officers were on STANDBY! What?!
That would cost the taxpayers as much to house them. They need to be sentenced to life as a waiter at the $2.15 per hour job and no tips.
It intrigues me that all through this episode, no one! took it on themselves to peek into the window of the classroom!
Every time there are new details I feel this pain in my heart and then I think about the parents of these poor children and they're going to feel that pain for the rest of their lives?
Thank you Shimon You're the best.
How could this happen? Especially in this day & age with so much communications available to us. I don't mean to put salt in a wound but would he ever reacted the same way if his child was in that school?
As a retired US Soldier and now a father of 4, I am enraged to tears for the families who had loved ones taken from them. I was hard trained to run to the fire to defend the lives next to me. Those cowards were kitted up for their personal “cool guy” pictures and hubris.
Damn a resignation. Take their pensions, their career protection and their freedom!
Those hurting families are owed each of those worthless officers being convicted of dereliction of duty resulting in the murder 21 innocent lives and their badges served in oak cases.
These cops want to be ranked like the military, so my opinion they gotta be trialled as military. Courtmarshalled (sp) and giving a dishonorable discharge.
@@kerrysullivan6294bb
The handling of this situation was a total clusterf*ck.
Plain ole cowardice.
The reporter for did a great job not letting the head of DPS just walk away until the man at the top gave a statement saying saying he will take accountability if his officers under him messed up. Journalism that will make people to give CNN a chance.
This is CNN reporter reporting this. What is wrong with you?
So, has that DPS head resign? Like he promised.
‚Under Investigation/doing an investigation‘ has become a ‚thoughts and prayers‘ response…words that have lost their weight when a problem is evident but we are likely to see changes to improve it. It’s what officials say when hoping that the news cycle and time will shelf public interest. Keep on it.
The complete unwillingness to communicate and organise information to be brought forward is amazing. What was done in the two training courses for active shooters? Who wrote the training sessions?
They should hang their heads in shame. Active shooter, you immediately breach the building.
Wrong , ya wait them out
Yeah, we saw them STANDING AROUND!
Great reporting, keep pushing!
Excellent reporting! I hope it leads to some justice and relief for the victim's families.
Lol the guy who said he would resign is well beyond retirement age. What a sacrifice to offer. Part of the problem with our government is old entrenched bureaucrats who are running our country on autopilot through despotism
His voice was shaking
He knows he's in trouble.
WELL SAID!
How was that EMS medic braver than ALL THOSE LEOs?!? Thank you sir for at least being willing to DO YOUR DUTY.
You can bet if this specific shooting happened in an uppity and rich Dallas school district, Governor Abbott and the Director of the DPS, Colonel Steven McCraw, would have moved heaven and earth to save all.
I hope reporters continue to stay on this and follow up as well as Uvalde parents who want accountability so those law enforcement officials know the public will wait them out if they’re thinking of thwarting justice. Thanks for the update.
All LE personnel on-scene, all the way up the chain of command, should resign and be held accountable immediately! This is a disgrace for all LE officers that have given their lives in the line of duty and those that put their lives at risk everyday. If their kids were in there, the response would have been completely different. Any parent wouldn't think twice about going in there and rescuing their child. So tragic.
What's crazy is that one of the other female officers who also made a horrible mistake was fired almost immediately it was known she was still employed and in my opinion didn't mess up as bad as this male officer. She was broadcasted all over the news but yet this officer has barely made headlines, messed up WAY worse, and is also still employed. Why isn't he being shamed and fired as the other officer???
What a great example of staying on and investigating a story even when it’s no longer in the headlines. Thank you for staying on this, something clearly has to be done since Abbot is never going to take action or curb gun violence.
Thank you Shimone. It is so important that you do this work. It must be terrible, it must be done.
quit over Uvalde then was hired by Uvalde. our law enforcement agencies have exactly 0 shame and it's disgusting they do this kind of thing. when one gets in trouble they just move to the next department, and the fact the dept she was in trouble with would hire her is grotesquely shameful
Whoever hired them should also be fired.
May the entire police force to be held accountable
...in much the same manner the children were.
Sadly it won't happen. Parents protested outside the UCISD for days begging for accountability. The UCISD begrudgingly suspended about 7 officers with pay, but just reassigned to them to another dept. So those coward cops are still cops.
Nothing will happen. The Uvalde PD even had the nerve to ask for MORE funding. They already took forty percent of the town's budget and failed at their job, and they want a raise????
And with a big Back the Blue governor like Abbott this will be covered up and the cops rewarded with a budget increase. Just watch. Any cop fired will eventually be rehired with backpay.
Yes and no qualified immunity or desk duty or paid leave. I hope this sets a precedent across all states for police officers and strikes down qualified immunity so that officers have to get malpractice insurance.
Thank you Shimon for not letting this go🙌!!!
*Everybody wants to be in charge! And then when things go sideways, everybody jumps in to cover-your-ass mode! It really is god damn disgusting! Heads absolutely must roll for this!*
Literally.
Bout damn time!! Yes everyone wants to be in charge and point fingers. Nobody gives a damn to get involved in their community to stop evil gunmen from killing innocent children, but everyone wants to make a comment from their cellphone. I don't send my child to school to be at the center of a gun battle between cops and gunmen, I send my child to school to learn. Everyone failed those children, including cops.
400 cops standing around afraid of 1 punk what a complete waist of time and money, one pissed of parent probably could have taken care of the situation
Nobody is in charge in school shootings. Every badge wearing Officer goes in without hesitation. Nobody commands anyone to wait that was established throughout the Country.
@@dcollier7239 The problem is, is that that is NOT what happened in Uvalde!
Prokupecz is on their ass! he deserves more recognition
