#ABCNLUpdate #Texas #Uvalde
It's horrific to have your child killed, but to find out they may have been saved is completely disgusting. Every officer hiding and waiting in the hallway should be fired. They're all trained that there is only one action... breach. You don't need a commander for that. Cowards all.
For real. It's like .. did they really need someone to order them to do the obvious right fucking thing?
UPD - Uvalde p-ig department
Its a direct violation of the police oath. Besides that...have you ever taken any kind of training? If you haven't, I suggest you look into it. Following the chain of command is imperative or you lose your job on the spot and most likely get jail time. Its not as simple as your making it out to be.
@@derekwhitford5015 The Nazis tried that "I was just following orders" logic and we all know how that went. Every single cop inside that building who didn't act should be in prison.
@@damidnightgolfer I'm not going to disagree with that. They should be held to the full extent of the law but what I'm saying is. Their training dictates exactly that. Following the chain of command is crucial.
They're standing around drinking water while 19 kids and 2 teachers are being slaughtered by a madman! Unreal!! You cowards!! You let all those kids, the 2 teachers, all the families and the entire community of Uvalde down in the worse possible way! You should not only be fired, but thrown in prison for accessory to murder! UGH!
Ahh yes the tactical water break.
Classic move.
😡😡
I didn't bring my radio.
Radios don't work inside the school.
Lies. Lies. Lies.
Charge all of them with accessory. No pension
If he didn't believe he was in charge then who did he think was? This just sounds like incompetence
I’m asking the same thing! Let’s hear him say who was in command. What a loser. He should be prosecuted
Would you believe incompetence,,cowardice, neglect and abject failure to protect his life and his people rather than stormed the room
Officers hanging out drinking water , kicking back while kids are being murdered. Horrifying
How can someone so incompetent have that kind of responsibility?
They shouldn’t do the job if they’re afraid
Thank you Col. McGraw for speaking the truth from day one. At least he's not covering up.
Don't bet on that. He is trying to deflect blame away from his own department and his own officers who are complicit in this dumpster fire. I'm not defending the on-site Commander but the blame here is systemic.
day 1 truth? are you drunk?
Yeah!!
This entire investigation looks like a cover up. I mean DPS is still refusing to release certain things like bodycam footage or 911 call recordings. I’m not at all going to defend the school district police force, however in the interest of fairness I think it’s safe to say that the response from on scene law enforcement as a whole in this scenario was terrible.
DPS had 91 officers on site. 12 officers in the hall.
waited for an army to take out a fucking teenager
Wow, the door wasn't even locked...🤬
when they need 100 lies and excuses, then 100s of things are really wrong
So very true
Heard today that one police officer had his gun taken away because his wife was a teacher at that school. There is a big cover up going on and it gets more obvious with time
So why can't the school or city fire this police chief? They seem quite loyal to him for some reason.
Small town. Looks like they all know each other. Buddies maybe.
The corrupt mayor refuses to fire Arredodo bird. Abhorrent!
@@AJBatac drinking buddies.......
I want to hear who the “ Chief “ thought was in command if he says it wasn’t him.
Sick excuse! He is the chief he can be I. Charge at any time. He is the “manager” not a “Supervisor” he can take over his job at any time!
He's passing on the responsibility this little man is unqualified and is responsible for the deaths of these children there has been too many excuses
They had huge amount of firepower!
There just cowards
Exactly ! Ballistic shields too! Ridiculous
1 ‐18 year against 19 Chicken S. Office's. Looser, they need to be Fired and charged,
Every single officer that did not immediately act should be fired and prosecuted for criminal negligence.
Better yet they should put them in the back of a cop van and then drive around the city and intermittently slam on the brakes to cause injury to the people in the back like they've done to alleged criminals in the past.
@@JaRule6 Better yet strip those officers naked and then shrink wrap them head to toe to a lamp post in the city square and let the parents of the deceased children have at it.
Prosecuting all the officers is debatable, but I think we can all agree that the chief needs to be held responsible.
@@DrFaust-pr8vw every officer that did not immediately act likely cost a child’s life. They did not need to listen to any commanders or take any orders. They should all be held accountable.
@@JaRule6 you can literally feel the racism behind your cemment. disgraceful.
Seeing this makes me sick.
If they say their radios don't work inside the school, they are LIARS. Those police radios are top notch. Better than an Iphone. They work inside the school.
It's just excuse after excuse.
Does they're full of s*** ain't nobody going to believe that radios didn't work my ass
If you have ever driven through Uvalde in the past couple of years, the first thing you will notice is how many law enforcement agencies there are. I mean crawling. Should have been handles much better. What happened is called diffusion of responsibility.
Posers neglecting the education and capacity for Civic Duty and jacked up on paying for stupid channel propaganda.
Of course the door wasnt locked how else would the psycho have gotten in?
Some one should have took command freak the Chef lets go now!
Thank you Director Steven McCraw for being so honest and forthright about this heinous attack the grieving families and the people very much appreciate your candor 🤗🤗
The question now is who is being held accountable? We all know nothing is going to happen. Every cop who showed up needs fired. Chief, fired. What the hell. It couldn't be any worse. What's the difference between no cops or cops too coward to do their job?
After all this time can someone please tell me who has been fired? And stripped of all benefits including there pensions. The governor needs to show leadership.
“Neither the Constitution, nor state law, impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm - even when they know the harm will occur,” said Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law. “Police can watch someone attack you, refuse to intervene and not violate the Constitution.”
The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has only a duty to protect persons who are “in custody,”
As the days pass the more and more I believe the supreme court is fucken garbage. They give police first class status with qualified immunity, and then say you don't actually have to do your job. All the while citizens keep losing our right to use guns to protect our lives.
And property I might add. They exist to protect private and government property and to generate revenue.
Even radios didn't work they should have still gone in and if he wasn't able to communicate then how was he giving out the orders to them this is all bs.
Change the laws .how sad everytime I see a 8 year old I think man they where too young You are responsible instead of trying to cover up just admit u.made a dam big mistake
"Waited for a key to a door that wasn't unlocked". WTF...
Let that sink in, and think about it.
And how do we know that the door was unlocked? Because, the locking mechanism would not allow the door to be locked from the inside.
Also, If the door to that classroom was shut and locked. Then, how did the gunman get into that classroom?
It stands to reason that the door had to be shut and unlocked. Also, the gunman knew this because he attended that school.
In addition, aren't the security of those doors the responsibility of Chief Oridondo? Therefore he should have possessed the basic knowledge of how the locking mechanisms of the doors actually worked.
All of these "points of argument", could be verified through surveillance footage.
So they didn’t try the radio while training at the school?
American 🇺🇸!!!
The Governor of Texas need to step up!!!
Lay the Law for individual in hall and captain!!!!!
Request their badge and guns!!
Fire 🔥 all of them!!!!!!!
Wake up!!!!
My heart go out to those Parents!!!
Enough is enough!!!
You suit up and put a badge in a uniform it’s supposed to protect the people of this Nation!!!!
God bless!!!
I’m sorry i can’t stand by hearing children screaming and shots being fired smh this is wild ! 😞
Very high standard - if this doesn’t meet that threshold - then it needs to change
Raise the age to be able to buy a gun to 25, drinking age to 25 driving age to 25.
Driving? No. How do they get to work? School? Some are married with kids. Are you serious?
@@yorkiemom6144 meant driving age to 21
@@mattheishman170 21 still means same issues. School, work, kids
Age to decide whether you are nonbinary 3 years old
@@mattheishman170 So, if two 19yr old get married, he's going to college and she's working. How does transportation work? Remember, not everyone lives in places with public transportation available. It's ridiculous.
JUSTICE FOR THE LITTLE CHILDREN AND TEACHERS ON UBALDE'S SCHOOL MASSACRE .. 💇🙋🙇🙍🙇🙆🙅🙆🙍🙇🙋💇🙋💇🙋🙇🙍🙇🙇❤️. JUSTICE ! ! ! !
The radio doesn’t work inside the school?! Is that the best he could make up???
I don't know how he didn't resign after that, that's more scary and disturbing than anything that he thinks he's capable of holding office after all those kids were killed on his watch.
Absolutely horrifying. Children come first!! Praying for the parents. How could they just stand there?
Unfortunately, it's called lack of confidence, guts and courage. Add also abject failure
@@alexkoronec4326 I agree 💯
We’re any children of these officers in those classrooms…Bet not…And yet they wouldn’t let parents go in and risk their lives for their own children and other children. Here’s a thought if your to scared to do your job..Step aside there are brave mom and dads who will to do it for you
Typically cops probably eating donuts and drinking in the hallway
Reporter: Why did you guys not go in?
Cops: Cluck, cluck, cluck....🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
Now, WHY?
They had the SHIELDS, they had the GUNS, they had the AMMUNITION!! Those kids had NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!! Their bodies MUTILATED!!! They screamed and they called for help and NOTHING!!! Arrendondo needs to be terminated and prosecuted!!! He was not fit to do his job and those others officers that were there should have broken rank and they didn’t!! They’re all cowards!!! I am so angry at this unnecessary loss of life and no regard on urgency. People of Uvalde hold everyone to the fire, hold them all accountable!! They’ve robbed you from your children and they did nothing! I am so angry for you and I am appalled at this horrendous act of cowardice.
I heard that while that was happening they were threatening the scared parents on the scene to behave, one got through only to be killed by the shooter as well .. was that true ?
New photos have emerged showing police waiting in a hallway during the Uvalde school massacre, after the town's mayor defended cops who waited an hour to confront the gunman.
One photo, taken from surveillance video at 12.04pm on May 24, shows police huddled behind ballistic shields just feet away from the classroom where a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers.
It would be another 46 minutes until the heavily-armed police stormed into the classroom, and a total of 77 minutes elapsed between police arriving at the scene and their confrontation with the gunman.
The photos were first published by the Texas Tribune in an article which detailed the agonizing wait and questionable decisions made on the scene by Uvalde School Police Chief Pete Arredondo.
According to the report, surveillance video shows that cops did not attempt to open the doors to classrooms 111 and 112, where the shooter was holed up, during the standoff, contradicting Arredondo's prior claims.
Ah yes the tactical water break.
Classic procedure.
Right out of the training manual.
10 days only to review mental health records! BS!!! that's not enough time and this is NOT enough. They need to raise the age requirement to 21!
He should be recalled and forced resignation. Revoke his 401k and any benefits given, he doesn’t deserve anything.
JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! ! JUSTICE ! ! ! ON UBALDE'S SCHOOL MASSACRE... JUSTICE ! ! !
You know, something scares me, and scares me to the bone, that this culture of "leave it, fu* it, ignore it, ..." is going to be a new norm. That's bad. Even 3 police officers with their pistols were enough to face a 18yo untrained devil. But they were waiting to have a tank and a jet fighter to face him. A mother, at least, abused her 2yo daughter right to live by ignorance, got free by a misled cooky jury of 11 jurors in Casey Anthony case. Remember? It scares me that "leave it" be a new norm. That jury ignored the facts, these police officers ignored their main duty, and ... I got scared about the future.
Is there anyone in this news organization who might have time to research the political stances on each of these officers? I will never believe this wasn't intentional until you prove me wrong. Tramatizing on so many levels to the NATION. Compassion for these families. Somebody must speak up.
Is that really necessary ?! They are clearly Trumpers
They’re all Democrats that’s why their cowards
@@aquariumlife2929 Right? But wouldn't it be fair to know they are having their Civil War in schools against innocents?
@@loriannehancock6364 i was thinking about that from the start ...yes , not out of the picture at all...it may have happened under intent totally 100% possible...UPD ( Uvalde P-i'g Department ) should know better...i dont believe they are only co-wards...they are co-participants...criminals...every officer that attended the scene is a criminal
mass shootings have literally been happening in America for over 25 years, and now all of a sudden its "traumatizing?"
This is not enough
REPORTING CRIMINALS and CRIME: (NEVER REPORT CRIME...) It's too expensive!🕸
The tragic truth behind reporting criminals or even possible crimes to the police in Michigan is as follows: (Other states may be the same!)
After reporting the crime ANONYMOUSLY to the police, the officer will then issue the reporter a citation through the mail for false reporting. (This Is The Real Truth!) Police computers have everyone's info through caller ID.
The reporter will then be forced to prove in court that the reported crime was real and at the reporter's own expense ... (Or pay the fine and do 90-days for false reporting!)
Oakland County deputy MATT MATCHETTE uses this dishonorable ploy against good community residents, religiously...
CAVEAT: REPORTING CRIMINALS IN MICHIGAN IS TOO EXPENSIVE!

Lock him up!
We needed Jack Bower
I guarantee you if it were there kids. The police. They would have busted down the door in seconds.
But since it wasn't. They waited like dam cowards
why so many officers, law enforcements and such people were running around with full gears "after everyone dead"? even having bottle of water taking "water break" doing nothing while children were killed inside... just so sad to see all these "pure laziness"... those children were praying for "some grownups" to come help them whoever that would be... simply just why?...
The chief is the “manager” not a “supervisor” how I see it is if he is the chief then he can take over at anytime!
Am sorry I just don't understand how my 18 year old daughter can't buy cigarettes or alcohol till she turns 21 BUT is more than welcome to go buy GUNS???????
The lady that ran in to get her kids had more balls than the disgusting 🐷 s. I feel for the families and those more babies and teachers i can see them so scared and no one helped them. Rip sweet angels. Those freaking cowards didn't have the balls to save them.
Same , age old, Fraternity mentality as always. NO ACCOUNTABILITY for this Profession. They need individual competency licenses or certifications, like Nurses, Pharmacists, and Hairdressers for Christ sake! Then they would have to have employer umbrella malpractice, and/or individual policies to cover them like everybody else. Heart is breaking for those kids and their families! Justice is needed, how ironic.
"Wrong race".
A single second those responsible for the death of childrens and the 2 teachers still remains on theirs seat it’s another second the families of the innocents suffers in agony and sadness
Every single one of them cowards need to be FIRE ASAP
Food chain workers are a need in this country and yet imagine being asked were you part of the failed operation to all kind of failures in saving lives at theirs new job. Embarrassment
In the cases DeShaney vs. Winnebago and Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales, the supreme court has ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens. In other words, police are well within their rights to pick and choose when to intervene to protect the lives and property of others - even when a threat is apparent.
How he know radios didn't work????
So we're violating HIPAA now? Would have been better to just raise the age limit.
I want to know if those police officers can hear the gunman shoot in those class rooms while they were just standing around in the hall way…???
Who Watched CAMERA AND THE DOORS???
Hey, how can a grown man stand outside and listen to those kids cries and screams. To say you have to wait for a commander is bullshit when you listen to those kids. Were any of those cops fathers?. Then to put this on legal gun owners as a way of fixing is a ploy. We cannot trust our government or police anymore.
He will be spending more time at the local Golden Corral....
Red Flag laws violate due process and civil rights. If the person who is able to convince the police to seize a person firearms for whatever reason and found to be invalid. That person needs to be arrested on the spot for filing a false police report.
How about in the meantime (while an investigation is ongoing) we just limit the suspected individual to a revolver (6 round magazine)?
I'm a bit concerned the DPS chief threw the local police chief under the bus so quickly. His first appearance on the news included him saying "Again, I wasn't there" over and over.
At what time did the DPS get there, and seeing nothing happening, why didn't THEY go in and take down the perp?
He had 91 officers on site. 12 of the 19 in the hall were DPS. He is playing CYA.
So now they trying to take guns away from domestic violence but not change the 18 too 21 fire all of them because if that was their kids it would b a total different conversation
Big tough Texas dudes......hanging out in a parking lot
Ikr, Texans are so quick to brag about their guns and how brave they are and how free they are yet they were afraid to run in and save some children. They should be so ashamed of themselves that they should move to another country and change their names
YOU MADE THIS MESSY PILE NOW CLEAN IT UP!
he could use the time off to lose a couple pounds
What happened to the school principal? How about the teacher who left the back door of the school unlocked. Why wasn't protocol followed. I'd fire the principal. Blood on his or her hands.
Apparently the teacher didn't leave the door propped open. She propped it open while carrying supplies in, but when she saw the commotion outside she shut the door. Why it wasn't locked idk. I work at a school and those doors can be keyed down to stay open and they also often don't close all the way unless you pull them shut. If you just let the door go by itself, it often stays open because the door closer wears out over time and also debris builds up in the door way over time.
Fire them
Thank goodness its all over now. Thanks Congress......
He was afraid for his own life and decided to let border patrol do his job for him!!
The police were scared to do their job and was not trying to get shot smhh fired
"Come out the hole he been hiding in". Damn strong comment. Almost like y'all imaging him as another Bin Laden, hiding and avoiding justice lol
Officer safety=COWARDNESS! 🤦
COWARDICE + NO REMORSE AT ALL ...

"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)
Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)
JESUS LOVES YOU. HE DIED ON THE CROSS SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE.
Please do not ever forget that.
God forbid and officer gets hurt.
Back the blue.
