"I left behind my primary mode of communication because it was slowing me down"
-said no cop or soldier in human history
ikr chief donut was in a real hurry there he stood around for 77 minutes XD wtf
A device that weighs approximately 3 ounces 🤦🏻♂️
he 100% knew he didnt want to and could not handle being in charge. came up with an easy excuse for it to not be him
His fats weighed him down
Might as well left his firearm...so as to not slow him down.
Uvalde Police: 77 Minutes
Nashville Police: 3 minutes
Uvalde Police need to be held accountable
except it wasn't even the Uvalde Police who finally ended it, it was the US Border Patrol. Uvalde Police would still probably even now be trying to get up the nerve to do something.
@@stevepacheco6255Thank you for that fact. I didn't know this.
@@stevepacheco6255 ''Can we order you a pizza, sir? Sir?''
Bingo. Nashville said “we ain’t gonna be Uvalde” and they got the job done.
Both fake AF
That poor lady with the door situation.. she truly did all she could. The fault is not hers and I pray for her healing.
It really is not hers and I hope she understands that. Whoever is in charge of that school should go check each individual door every morning to see if it’s locked from the outside or not
@@RUclipsTV-qw5mu nobody should live in a country where that's even the primary concern. It's a school not a jail. In other countries, the priority is education, security is secondary... only in America do we expect teachers to be experts in security.
She could've stopped this if she was alert......
@@JitzyJT would’ve loved to see you be there and do it. Since it’s so simple and easy
From what I've seen elsewhere, she has severe PTSD and tremors. She is walking wounded.
The fact that parents showed up to help and save their babies, and they were HELD BACK by police who were just sitting there. I’m here after the Covenant shooting in TN, those officers bravely ran towards danger to save those children. There’s no excuse for what happened in Uvalde.
The shooter was killed in under 15 minutes in TN.
I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life and I’m always proud of our police. They do what has to be done.
There was another shooting?
@@chadr7522that’s pretty unacceptable
That call from Khloe is what did it for me. Anger, frustration, sadness, guilt and a ton more of emotions. I'm sorry to those children both survivors and victims that ADULTS let alone police did nothing to save you.
Yes exactly while police waited in hallways, you waited in your living room, feeling, "anger, frustration, sadness guilt and a ton more of emotions" from the warmth of your safe recliner chair. Whatever Khloe's call did for you, it also made you responded almost a year after the Robb Elementary Massacre on a youtube forum, which also describes your level of concern and urgency. Children don't go to school to be accidently killed by armed police officers or mentally ill teenagers with assult rifles. They go to school to learn. All schools and doors were designed to be secured and safe before the massacre, not after. This was supposed to be stopped at the congress, school security, safety, regulations and policy level. This country wasn't built by folks sitting in their chairs and wars weren't fought by making a youtube comment. Citizens need to stand up and fight against terror. Not sit down and blame.
@@gordsruby5963 so u decide to also make a RUclips comment???
@@redbaboonass4416Nothing gets by you genius, lol
@@gordsruby5963 hey I just shared how I felt, your the one standing on your soap box.
@@redbaboonass4416 Sure sounds stupid, but whatever you say.
Its so sad to remember how that teacher was made to be a bad person for "leaving the door open" when she absolutely DID NOT do that. She tried to shut that door!!!! she could of just ran in and not even tried, sad they accused her of that
There should not have been a mechanism to set, nor left unfixed by the principal of that school. This real panic was doing the few quick right things you can remember while your adrenaline is making you tremble.
@@danielschannel701 Exactly!
She should sue McCraw he knew he was lying when he tried to deflect blame her way. That McCraw is the slimiest, most deceitful, shameless, political stooge. He should’ve kept his word & resigned!
Yep. That was another thing police lied about to divert attention.
She became the scapegoat of the right. Ridiculous conspiracy theories took shape from A LIE. Have any of those people owned it and apologized?
To the mainstream media: PLEASE!! DO NOT LET THIS STORY DIE. The criminally incompetent and cowardly Uvalde police need to be held accountable.
You do realize they will go to jail if a crime was committed this is like the biggest eff up in history and if their no crime their will be civil lawsuits
@@chinookh4713 Incorrect. This is the 2nd time this has happened by this same police department. Look up the 1984 McDonald's Massacre. That situation also took them exactly 77 minutes to respond.
@@BenjiJamesthat was in california not texas
That poor woman who has such severe PTSD that her body constantly shakes 💔
she could've stopped this though
That's the same person who they initially blamed for leaving the door propped open but she clearly did everything she could and even went back to make sure the door was completely closed. She risked her own life by going back to remove the rock. I feel so bad for her.
@@JitzyJT how?
@@JitzyJT What do you mean? There was no way for the door to lock from the inside unlike your home doors, and the shooter was already coming closer, and unfortunately the door couldn’t be locked automatically. Even if it could, it’s very obvious that the shooter would have broken the glass to get inside, I mean he jumped over a fence not to mention, he was definitely out for blood. So why blame that lady.
He would have shot right through the locked door. Teacher is most definitely not the one to blame for this situation
As a service member, I am beyond disgusted. Do you endanger the kids by engaging the killer in the class? Yes, but he has already escalated the situation to the point where you need to get in and take his attention away from the children. Put your life on the line or get out of the way. These officers were more scared than those parents were. These people are what we call tacticool people. All bark no bite.
@@gordsruby5963 you're one of those chair warriors. None of what you said represents how to handle an active threat. The decision making process has never changed so it goes to show how you're not a service member.
What I did learn as a service member was how quickly to asses a situation and identify a threat. Not sure why you think the idea of a school being a safe place is relevant in an active shooter situation but go off. I can tell that with 100% certainty there were casualties and people with GSWs. The shooter wasn't taking hostages and that was quite obvious, but it's clear you weren't trained at all. It's funny how fast you can identify a pogue. Reactive firing and target identification is combat 101. They had enough information to go in and save lives. Funny how people like you are still trying to defend the tacticool donut eating idiots that pretended to be law enforcement that day. Some us "service members" were trained to engage the target and shoot accurately in real life while others like you sit behind a screen playing call of duty.
Some people run toward danger while others standby and pick grass. You're def one of the liberal sheep who blames guns and not the person. I'll keep making comments and criticizing this event as well as others because I can and have. There is no law that you cant bozo 🤣 This is an event that some of us are passionate about and it's also a primary example of what not to do in an active shooter event as a LEO. You talk about pride and backing things up but it sounds like you're the one who has ego issues. I agree that you cant trust a lazy American RUclips stay at home citizen, so stay safe in that chair kiddo, daddy will protect you.
@@gordsruby5963Also - they do training for this kind of thing. Waste of time obviously.
@@gordsruby5963what you mad about? This was an active shooter situation, you must act and take out the active shooter. That’s normal protocol. You don’t wait for an hour.
@@gordsruby5963 He didn't have an assault rifle
@GORDS Ruby In active shooter situation cops are supposed to rush the shooter. Those unarmed personnel in the building need someone to protect them from the gunman.
Wow hearing that little girl's phone call to police is so chilling. She was doing everything she could to save herself and her classmates.
Especially that teacher. She looks like she's blaming herself on the deaths. She probably thinks it her fault 😞
@@mcchicken5039but it’s NOT…..
@@dkdebestI bet you are related to the shooter himself the way you claim it’s fake.
@@jackiethecartoonfan2300 no Salvador Ramos is the daddy of all those kids he shot xd
It makes me wonder what would have happened if she had not called. Would he have killed all of the students and teachers?
I burst into tears as soon as I hear Khloie calling for help. She was so brave. Kids shouldn’t have to be that brave.
These kids didn’t deserve it☹️💔😭😢
Same, 😢it broke my heart hearing her plead with the operator to please hurry and that there were a lot of dead bodies, I doubt that everything that she saw is ever going to be erased from her mind, like imagine the trauma. It’s like one time my mom said sometimes she still remembers seeing a person’s head without a body in her country when she was a young girl, as back then there were so much war, and like the 9/11 as well, I remember when I was 6 or 7, I saw some smoke in the air coming from Manhattan and so I saw some of it flying in the air passing by Brooklyn. So imagine witnesses like Khloie to this day, this kind of event is impossible to forget even if life goes on, it just remains deeply.
@@jackiethecartoonfan2300you never forget, you just learn to heal.
"my dad taught me when I was a little girl" she is a little girl still. an absolute tragedy
also what kind of civilization are we when a kid needs to be taught this to begin with 😩
@@sashek8451 This country is done for my friend :(
4:27 Seeing the condition that woman is in after this really breaks my heart in a real way.
People don't see or pay attention much to those PTSD tremors. This is why we use to call it "shell shock" for a reason. It happened a lot in WWI.
If you are reading this Amy, I still pray for you all everyday.
So sad 😢.
In one year that poor woman's hair turned grey and she got permanent Neurological damage from PTSD and probably aged 20 years. I'd be shocked if she lives 5 more years. The body and brain can only take so much poor lady!
Amy, you are in my prayers
Incidents like this happening all too often is part of why I choose to work in an office rather than teach. I also make more money than I would teaching. It's a sorry state of affairs in this country.
Those 350+ COWARDS are worthless and a shame to law enforcement. They should ALL be fired. No excuses for their inaction. NONE👺
maybe the "cowards" are the americans the support your lax gun policies!
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy cops and border agents
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy by the way. I'm a marksman and wholeheartedly AGREE about the lack of common sense gun laws. It's insane.
Not all of them are to blame - the leaders are the ones to blame & anyone who did not pass on crucial information or act on the information given in the first few minutes. People in law enforcement HAVE to follow orders. They can't just go running into situations and doing what they want or it could go even more pear shaped than this & get more kids killed. They also can't let parents and civilians run into a deadly situation. Command and control of emergency situations like these is extremely clear (it's the same in the ambulance where I work) - the most senior police officer on scene is the scene controller until a manager of suitable rank (ie police chief, equivalent or higher) arrives on scene, then THEY are to set up a forward command & liaise with other services as they arrive. The ambulance should have done the same - the most senior clinician should set up a command post until the scene is safe &/or a manager arrives and then should triage patients according to basic triage categories (walking wounded, significant injury but stable, unstable and require urgent intervention/transport, deceased) & relay that information to the senior officer who takes over as the ambulance commander & organises transport of the patients to triage zones for treatment and then transport to hospitals. 377 police officers to a single shooter is ridiculous btw! If the first officers on scene had continued into the scene and treated him like an active shooter (which does unfortunately mean they would have had to continue under fire since they were getting shot at), doing their best to take him down as fast as possible, then the whole thing could hopefully have been over in minutes. The police chief is the most at fault (second to the shooter) by treating it like a negotiation. He misread and mishandled the situation. And the other senior officer that did not pass on the information that there was a child calling from inside the building. I can guarantee that most of those officers were desperate to go inside but couldn't so they do not deserve the vilification that the ones truly responsible deserve. Even then... the sad fact of life is that people are human & make mistakes - even senior officers. Plenty of senior officers who are trained to know better have made more deadly errors in numerous wars and emergencies over the centuries. The people that f'd up should have been honest about their errors immediately after the event instead of trying to lie about it. And the politicians that tried to make it seem like it was a heroic success should also resign for lying their a**es off. But tbh the people who deserve the most anger and hate are the FITH people who think it's ok to take a gun into a school because they're unhappy with their own life & the fluffing politicians who refuse to do anything about sensible gun laws so they don't lose votes. Not the majority of cops who DO risk their lives running towards the gunfire yet are constrained by command & control structures.
@Allison James oh yeah and kudos to the MOTHER who gave zero bleeps to save her children. YES she exists y'all eventhough the cowards said she didn't. Must sting a bit that MOM was able to do what so many fumbling idiots couldn't cuz they were waiting for "orders."🤦🏽♀️
I'm glad they showed the staff closing that door bc everyone tried to blame her for leaving it open!
McGraw & DPS did that. They were trying every tactic to stir people from looking at their failed response. They're still at it with the cover up I see.
Yup cowardly cops blamed everyone but themselves
@@urekmazino6800 of course
She should sue for defamation
Besides, even a locked door is just a temporary barrier.
“Sir can you please put your weapon down?”
That, in it of itself, shows cowardice.
That line doesn’t even work in the movies smdh
Nope. It's called not escalating a situation and following protocol. You pin pointed the ONLY THING they did right.
@@jocm99gee I wonder how many times they used that exact line in the 77 minutes it took to take him down?
@@RuffRyder14 you can't say it enough, it's part of the protocol.
This whole thing is absolutely heart wrenching. What especially got to me was the 911 call with the girl counting the survivors and saying she’s surrounded by bodies and begging for help because her teacher was about to die and the fact that she smeared blood on her, the teacher who lost all of his students, and the teacher who was initially blamed for the shooter getting in even though she desperately tried to protect people, which especially got to me because she looked so much like one of my teachers and reminds me of her. I may live all the way in Washington state and knew nobody related to this massacre but I sure as hell will NEVER forget this tragedy. Because of Uvalde, when I become an engineer I want to create technology that will somehow protect people in situations of gun violence, especially in schools. I don’t know how I’ll do it, I just know I won’t let anything stop me from getting there, because if we can’t fully trust the police to protect innocent souls from a shooter nor the government to start passing stricter gun laws on a federal level, then one of the last potential barriers we have is technological advancement and it’s a race against time
I admire you so much for your desire & willpower to protect people, particularly children, from gun violence. You're right. The more these tragedies continue to happen, the more we realize we're practically on our own. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Please don't ever give up on your goals. You could help change the country, maybe even the world.
Bless you & I wish you the best for your dreams!
Engineers rule - y’all are like wizards who transform math & science into solutions.
As an old c.s. grad Gen-Xer, I think we need to understand that effective problem-solving often necessitates expertise and ingenuity from people coming from very different angles & vantage points. STEM specialists also really have to embrace humanism to truly collaborate with others in the endeavor of solving inherently human-scaled social problems.
Yes please keep pushing to reach this goal. I pray that you are able to make this happen. What an admirable goal. Thank you!!
The government needs to use that money to better protect and secure schools. That's money I would gladly spend my tax on! I have children and this breaks my heart
It’s mindblowing that 911 was already called before he even approached the school, and yet they still let this happen
exactly
Wow such a good point.
Meanwhile in Nashville:
"GIVE ME THREE!" "3,2,1...LET'S GO!" "NEXT" "SUSPECT DOWN"
All in 3 damn minutes and 15 seconds!
@@bouncingback3 I think it was 14 minutes, but that's a million times better than Uvalde's 77 minutes. Wtf is with those officers...
Khloe broke my heart. "I just wanna see my dad." "I don't wanna die." Those were gut wrenching.
Oh God, those poor kids. They’ve thought the same thing when laying on the ground in pain, wanting their mom and dad. I’m gonna be fucking sick. I hate this world.
I’m am so glad the documentary was made. This is beyond negligent on the officers part. My heart is with those children and families.
i watched the 20/20 episode, but it wasn’t this descriptive.. i’m in awe after watching this.. breaks my heart every time 😔
I am so crying right now, my heart, bless the 21 victims.
Same 😭
I am a retired security officer, and we were always taught to the best of your ability, you protect the people you are assigned to assist., Sometimes even if you have to put yourself in harm's Way first. I was at home, listening on a police scanner app on my phone to what was happening at uvalde.
In my personal and professional opinion, this was a complete screw up on so many levels
I can see why public confidence in Texas in law enforcement absolutely hit rock bottom, after this.
THANK YOU for making this comment as a retired security officer
I didn't know security guards were taught to assist the people they were assigned to protect. Sounds like some real important top secret security recon stuff, just out of curiosity who guarded the building, while you were assigned to protect people. Thank you for your service.
77 minutes is absolutely insane ☹️ they stood in the hallway while those angels were begging for help and in fear but they ran from gunfire and stood there even with all the equipment. been a year and nothing has been done 💔 heartbreaking for everyone in that community and those 21 victims and their family 😢
Exactly other school shootings even took less than 10 minutes but 77 is way to absurd
Those school doors were outdated, a problem in most public schools in America. There was also a kid who was shot after a responding officer said “yell if you need help” with the shooter still active. Also all the stopping of parents and an officer trying to go in. And the female officer on camera saying if her kid was in there she wouldn’t be outside, “believe that” while staying outside. This piece was very watered down.
Just like the 2nd amendment.🤴
My school actually got all of the doors updated after this because they hadn’t been replaced since the school was built.
Another problem is all the outdated schools that still have adjoining classrooms like this. Same thing happened in Santa Fe, TX, Uvalde, and Sandy Hook. If one teacher doesn't manage to get locked down in time, instead of having one room full of dead kids you get two...we need to be updating to single entry classrooms.
Wow! How do you know a kid was shot after the officer asked that? I never heard this! Why would they ask something like that?
@@queencupcake09 because reality is not hollywood
The worst thing is the concerted cover up. Those that are obfuscating the investigation are soulless.
@BeBotanical
@@krishnakhatri2427 goofy ahhh
Cowards cowards
The rot starts at the top.
even DPS didn’t do any accountability
The lack of accountability is beyond disgusting
How sad. This angers me. No one was held liable for the death of those 19 kids and 2 teachers. This is such an injustice. The cops were such cowards who allowed this tragedy to happen when it could’ve been stopped early on. My deepest condolences go to all the families who had to endure this tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. The kids and teachers are now in Gods classroom in Heaven 🙏❤️😢😢
Good lord the embarrassment level is off the charts for these cops
Exactly frustrating they had all them cops in building with ar 15 and still did nothing
They should be more than embarrassed.
They should be ashamed of themselves
Every time i see this story I start seething with pure anger and immense sadness about the gross incompetence of all law enforcement that faithful day. I truly believe those parents could’ve did a better job at taking that monster down than those sorry a$$ cops. I really hurt for the families of the victims because I have no idea how my life would be saturated in deep sorrow and pain if i lost my grand kids at school in that way considering their parents send them to school every day.
This year alone 67 mass shootings have happened in the US and it’s only mid Feb. Nothing will change until gun proponent politicians go through something like this with their own families in droves .
Yes... parents could have done a better job, but how many children in that classroom actually survived? How many parents in that classroom were able to take their child home with them? You all sat at home waiting for cops to do your job. You counted on teachers to secure doors, lawmakers to fix laws and cops to save children. But what was your job as a stay at home citizen? besides being pure angry and sad almost a year after the massacre. I mean assuming children don't go to school to be accidently gunned down by armed police officers of course. Assuming schools were designed to be safe before the massacre and not after. You litterally waited for a shootout at a school, for crying out loud, for Pete's sakes, and now your angry and sad! Lol imagine how the children felt! Imagine if they knew your plan of action was citizens waiting for cops. Again you waited for cops to save kids, how'd that work out for you. I have a solution for your problem don't look at a story if you're not willing to stand up and do something about it. Seething with pure anger and sadness months after a massacre is NOT your due diligence.
@@gordsruby5963 I really hope if you have kids, they are in a situation like this and cops do nothing.... wonder if you'll still defend them when it's your own
@@maggiemccauslin1084 Yeah I hope your children are also in a situation like this and their worthless parents sit around waiting for cops. Like my uncle Bob used to say. " you can lead a horse to water son, but you can't fix a stupid bitch" lol hahaha 😂 😂 😂 my uncle Bob is usually never wrong and he'sa great judge of character, he's a Vietnam Veteran who got his leg amputated while in Saigon, he works at IHOP now. God bless 🙏
If I had the power to go back in time I'm traveling to uvalde a day before with my ar-15 and waiting for that piece of garbage to crash his car and fill the mother fucker with holes until he's finally where he belongs hell
This whole thing is unspeakably evil. I can’t stop thinking about how traumatic it must have been for those kids waiting for help. They were in there for an hour!! Just imagine having to lay there in shock, full of panic, absolute fear, watching your friends and teachers being murdered and wondering if you’re next. I honestly think I would have died of shock, I would just have completely shut down. So much trauma for these innocent kids to bare for the rest of their lives. They were let down by so many people.
So many excuses coming from the police/swat. This is absolutely heartbreaking. So many lives could have been saved. Rest in peace sweet kids, you deserve better from the adults/police.
77 MINUTES!!!! This is such a sad and infuriating situation, they failed those babies and the teachers
Just 14 mins in nashville
The weight loss on these people is strictly evidence of their pain, heartbreak, and devastation. My heart, and soul are with each and every one of you still living, and dealing and fighting. My ♥
Those officers were 100% C-O-W-A-R-D-S. It infuriates me so much how long they took.
15:57 “My dad taught me when I was a little girl.”
This broke me because she was STILL a little girl, but an incredibly brave, selfless and intelligent girl. So sad that she showed more courage than the people who were supposed to be there to save and protect her, her teachers and her classmates.
I remember watching this live when it happened, and being horrified to think that something like this could happen. When I began to hear how many had truly died, and that the cops were so disorganized and unable to perform their duties made it so much worse. I pray that all the people who died on that day will rest in piece, and that the survivors and community can continue to carry on for their sakes, and remember those they lost while they heal.
It has been 9 months since this terrible tragedy happened and it seems like NOTHING has been done to alleviate this issue as more mass shootings have happened since then. It SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN. 77 minutes for law enforcement to neutralize this man!
@Kim Leller - I heard in the news this week thwt there have been *_67 mass shootings_* in the US *this year!* That's horrendous!
Stricter gun control, gun amnesty, (fat chance, though, with all the NRA and 2A "gun nuts"), thorough *background* and *mental health checks,* and a national provision of *_free mental health care_* are necessary, for there to be *notable change* in those grim stats - and *_human behaviour._*
❌ 🔫 🚫 🔫 ❌
What that little girl did, I can’t imagine, what a beautifully raised human. I hope all the best for her and her family and all those affected. I hope she becomes a nurse or first responder, doctor as she will be amazing.
Hearing such a young girl on the phone, crying and scared after having just witnessed a massacre, and then talking about how her daddy taught her what to do in this kind of situation since she was little, made me stop what I was doing and cry. The fact that she had to go through that and had to be taught what to do if her classmates are being massacred is horrifying. I hope Khloe finds peace and I hope something is done about this issue soon because it is LONG overdue. I can't believe people are just letting this happen. Khloe and her classmates deserved better. They deserved a full life. They didn't deserve to be murdered in their classroom.
Over 300 officers couldn’t take out 1 man in over 70 minutes…every one of them should hold this guilt for the rest of their life, same on everyone involved
This is my home town. Amery Jo Garza was my 5th cousin. Joe, the husband of Irma ( one of the teachers who died) was my friend. So sad all those beautiful souls who died that day.
My Mom once worked there for the first few years she started teaching.
How can you keep track of a 5th cousin?
I am praying for you and the loved ones of those who lost their loved ones that day. There are so many emotions! God bless you all!
@@johnnyDs82 I was thinking the same thing lol
5th cousin isn’t a thing
I live in Round Rock and that same very day and hour, I was at my daughters school, watching her recevive her 3rd grade awards at the school awards ceremony. I can’t even begin to tell you the devastation I felt that day, the sadness and fear of sending my kids to school for the rest of the week. I have cried at every single video. I grieve for every single one of those beautiful lives. My heart breaks for the parents. 😢😢
I’m not a police officer, and I’m also not a parent but I am a security officer, and I would lay down my life for any person that was an immediate danger. Especially a child I would run into a burning building to save somebody else’s life because that’s just who I am. I might not get along with people. I might argue with people here on the Internet but when your life is on the line and you need help and I can provide it, I can’t just stand by it will not do anything. That’s not who I am and it’s not how my parents raised me I was told from a young age when people are in need you go and you help
👏👏👏
@MR CM - I am so glad to read that you would those things to save others. I'm a 60-year-old woman, whose father was a cop and mother a nurse. My 3 siblings and I listened to our parents as they taught us what to in emergencies, and they led by example, helping those in distress when off the clock, and retired.
I've called 911 a number of times, stepped into fights and broken them up (I'm 5'7") - once when I had a *leg cast on,* using *my cane* to pry the 2 apart. Only once was I injured by a guy throwing a punch at the victim, when he ducked, and I got slugged in the face (black eye).
More than once, I've intervened when a man was verbally abusing his girlfriend in public, and each time, the guy stopped.
My dad taught us kids (3 girls, 1 boy) some Judo, how to break a choke-hold, an attack from behind, and how to flip him (6', 200 lbs) when I was 14. My sibs and I practiced on each other in the yard or rec room.
I took a handful of self-defense classes over the years since my thirties: *Krav Maga* (used by Isreali military), *Brazilian Ju Jitsu* and *Wen-do* (created for women, using leverage), but by no means am I an expert in any of them.
___________ 💪 💪 💪 ____________
I even demonstrated to a girlfriend (30 yrs ago), *_through a crack in the door,_* how to break her large, violent partner's grip on her arm, as I negotiated with him - and it worked! He settled down and both she and I convinced him to leave. She was terrified of him, but a few weeks later, she finally left him, with their 3-yr-old, and disappeared, after 4 yrs of being held prisoner, psychologically, by his threats and abuse. She called me her "guardian angel," though I'm atheist.
----------------🔥🔥🔥 -----------------
I've been in *3 house fires* (none my fault) - one in which I *_was trapped_* and got smoke inhalation. Like you, _I _*_would_*_ run into a burning building to save someone,_ just as my new boyfriend once did for me. I had PTSD for a year after that, and had panic attacks whenever I smelled something burning.
__________ 🚑 🏥 🚔 ___________
I'm First Aid certified, and used it last year, when I helped a 70-yr-old man (a tourist) who'd fallen & sustained a concussion - and then his wife *fainted* from the heat - after I'd given him and her ice packs that I had with me (a humid, 90F summer day in the city) - until the ambulance arrived. They were confused but grateful.
Also last summer, one night I found a man on the ground crying out for help. He'd fallen (bad leg), so I did the same thing, enlisting a passer-by to call 911, and help get him up and onto a bench until the ambulance arrived. They took him to hospital.
A few years ago, I was on the scene when a 75-yr-old man *fell down the escalator* _with his _*_walker_* at Walmart. I asked a few young staff who were standing there, helpless, and a manager, if anyone knew first aid - no one did - so I *took charge,* assessing him, getting staff to call 911 and get something for his head. Paramedics thanked me when they took over.

Each time, I thought of my late parents and the _valuable lessons_ they taught and role-modelled - and how to *_step in*,_** and not ignore or walk away. More people need to **_take the initiative,_** *educate* and train themselves, *maintain situational awareness* (for personal safety) and *have compassion* for others.
I'm so angry at the ineptitude, cowardice and lack of action, and later, accountability, of the 376 police officers and SWAT team, and those in command who failed those students and faculty. My father had marksmanshop trophies from police, yet he never fired his weapon in 32 years, in the largest city in Canada. He probably would've run in to the classroom to save those kids - f*ck the chain of command!
Thank you sir for your bravery!!! We need strong men like you in the country !!!!
And believe me when I say - GOD sees and knows !! This isn’t nothing. It’s remarkable and you will be rewarded in heaven.
Please keep spreading what you believe and most importantly will DO !!!
🙏💯❤️👍
I have 20 years of service in the United States Marine Corps and listening to that 911 call just broke me down to pieces and I questioned myself for the first time "why did I served???" and I started thinking about my kids and all of the other kids in this country that this is now the new normal but why??? It shouldn't be the norm and is time to do something about it...
What to do?
Join an organization. Join the parents in their struggles. There are MANY ways to get involved!
First of all thank you for your service, and i myself have had the same thought. We have to protect our babies, AT ANY COST
If I could give you parents and survivors a hug I would. I cannot even begin to imagine how you can live through something like that.
I have a lot to say. My dad (RIP) was a police officer. When my mom was pregnant with me they had a neighborhood shooting.
My dad was off duty and he ran into the line of fire to protect people. He got shot but lived. OFF DUTY!
He quit soon after because he wanted to see me born but look how he risked his life and risked the fact of seeing his first born son. HERO. I’m sorry but these officers cowered. You hear children screaming YOU RUN TO HELP!!! I would do it and I’m a damn restaurant worker.
Tomorrow is a year since those 21 souls were horrifically taken from this earth…I live an hour from Uvalde and every single time I pass through that town I cry thinking of how they were failed. May those beautiful souls rest in peace and may their loved ones find comfort.
Smh. This whole thing has haunted me since the day this happened and I live in Illinois. I know exactly how I'd feel if my son was in that school and nobody was doing a damn thing. I would be a mental mess and you'd have to restrain me. Not a mf in this world gonna tell me I can't protect my baby. That little girl had more guts and bravery than any of those cops put together. They weren't prepared and were lost. I'm so disgusted. My heart goes out to all affected by this horrendous situation.
I feel ya
Even if the classroom door was locked, why would they waste time looking for keys instead of breaking the handle or even shooting the thing off?
And why waste time asking other officers for a key? Go ask the office or the janitor!!
The reading of all of their names.. and then her father saying 'and my baby girl, Jackie'.. Never forget these names, always push for change.
None of these people should have died that day. So many mixed emotions from the day this happened, continuing to now. When will people listen and do what they're supposed to do.. so many things could have been done differently and could have saved more..
I'm so sorry, they failed you..
It’s shocking to me how one of the mothers received a text saying “there’s a shooter at Robb” and she immediately understood what that meant. It’s such a cultural shock to me.
I remember watching this on tv and there was a border patrol EMT saying they were taking too long. He was prevented from going in by a police officer. If you aren't willing to put yourself on the line with all of your tactical gear and training then get out of the way.
It’s eerie how it also took 77 minutes for cops to do something at the McDonald’s massacre in the 80’s at San Isidro. They didn’t even have cell phones to call for help. ☹️
I cried so hard after listening to Kholie's call she did everything right. I would've FIRED THE WHOLE DAMN POLICE FORCE!! RIP TO ALL THE BABIES THAT lost their lives that day & prayers for the families.
This documentary isn’t even as long as the time they spent outside that classroom
Thank you to the ones that finally went in. 🙏 As a parent of 5 sons I can not imagine the pain for all involved. The little girl on the phone is so brave and so smart in communicating the information in that situation. Your little ones will never be forgotten.
@@TobyN.Tucka_TNT You aren’t funny, clever, provocative or edgy.
Them cops failed tht day in every way possible no excuses for how they handled the situation. Bein a father this breaks my heart 💔
Yes... we can tell exactly how broken hearted you are by making a comment on a youtube video almost a year after the Robb Elementary Massacre. Imag8ne if you could have been one of the citizens to make a difference.
@@gordsruby5963 who tf is this guy??🤣🧐🤨
He's who ever you want him to be. The one who's telling you the truth.
@@gordsruby5963 just because someone commented on a new video on this tragedy, does not mean they haven’t commented or done things back in the beginning on other videos. Your assumptions and attitude toward others are making you ignorant.
@@gordsruby5963 man acting like the comment enforcer smh this nerd
I work at an after school program, and if I can recall the next day coming in for work after this happened, there were quite a few kids who were scared and asking me what would happen if the same thing occurred here at our school. I just told them that if it happened, then I'd do everything I could to protect them.
It's devastating that this is the world we still live in, and that kids have to even entertain these what if's in the first place.
the cop really said “time is in our side”???? this is insanely cowardly
I’ve never cried full on over this until watching this. I’m a grown man with prior law enforcement experience and it is tearing my heart out watching this. Omg every ounce of my being is screaming inside. Get your ass in that room! Fight ! Number one it’s mandated to locate isolate And neutralize this man!!
This was the most hardest video to watch. RIP to all the victims of this horrible tragedy.
Id risk my life for a strangers kid and im not even a cop. Despicable.
💯
Imagine how much worse things could have been if Kholie hadn’t had been as level headed as she was. Thank goodness and much respect to her.
That man’s whole class died. How horrible.
The police were just a few steps away to save the children but they were so scared to go inside. The chief was a failure.
Watching this I have bad anxiety, tears,
and dread in my heart. I can’t imagine how the kids, teachers, staff, and family felt.
I remember when I saw this on the news last year, I still cry thinking of all those children and the teacher that were murdered, RIP :(
Same
Same I remember hearing about it and at rhe time when it had happened I was in 7th grade and I remember going to my mom after hearing about and telling her that I was scared to go to school😔
Nope never forgotten… ALWAYS Remembered! My heart breaks at how it all went down, my heart goes out to the Victims & their families… Khloie, the teacher & the lady staff worker are so brave! And idk how one can forget.. this was so traumatic all the way around😢
❤️Love from Az
What were we taking about again? Sorry I forgot.
None of these cowards in top will take responsibility. They even prevented one of their own going in to save his own wife
Yeah well nobody understands a coward more than another coward. So my only question is why we're you afraid to make a comment 8 months ago?
I lost two of my cousins I still can’t believe this tragedy happened
So sorry for your losses 😢🙏💔
Praying 🙏🏽❤ So sorry for your loss. Deepest Condolences.
I’m sorry for your loss
The first child who called 911 is hard to listened to,it breaks my heart. How I wish she survived
i can't imagine how sick/mad the parents would be watching this on top of living it. if they even watched this at all. it's awful
I've never seen a bigger bunch of cowards. They are paid to run toward the danger, but they were running away and hiding..for officer safety.
I am in tears watching these parents relive the day their children were murdered. It is apparent that there was a total break down in communication on top of the fact that their was not definitive plan on how to address an active shooter. The fear these children and teachers felt, is beyond me.
It’s really hard for me to comprehend that 1 Shooter can control 376 Police Men.
Will NEVER forget their names.... they are seared into mind forever
God bless the people of Uvalde. I pray you can get the strength to wake up each day and keep reminding us all of these precious lives lost at the hands of the cowards we pay to protect us.
As a mother, hearing the voice of the beautiful little girl call for help, broke my soul to the core. It completely shattered my spirit. No child should ever be in any kind of danger.
😔as a teacher 👩🏫 not a a day goes by I don’t think about these students, fellow teachers, and families my heart truly goes out each one of them may their hearts heal from this pain ❤️
I don’t know how any of the officers that stood there and did nothing can live with their actions.
Wasn't their own kids. Too concerned about one of them getting killed.
The person in charge energy was completely off for the situation at hand. He moved and acted like He just ate a huge lunch. His energy wasn't right at all for the situation at hand.
That school police chief chose to save his own life.
They all did
They treated this as a hostage situation and not an active shooter situation. RIP
This is so sad. They tried harder to protect the police than they did to protect the children.
Because police themselves don't want to confront an AR 15. No new sales of AR 15. Enough. Repeal PLCAA and restore liability to gun manufacturers for their extremely dangerous products. Then you will see them turn into responsible corporate citizens, using gun safety protocols to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Their own lawyers and insurance carriers will insist on mental health assessment and screening for each purchase, gun safes, permits, registration, training, age limits, etc. They will also end their irresponsible marketing strategies, such as advertising the AR 15 as "your man card." Enough.
I really hope that other agencies see their mistakes and learn from this tragedy. 🙏
Fire them all. That is how you deal with cowards who wear badges. That is how they deal with their mistakes.
@Sgt. Robert Bauer JD MA yup everyone of them who showed up and did nothing should be fired and arrested
These weren’t “mistakes.” This was incompetence and cowardice.
They will notwww
I generally support police officers but this is disgusting. This is literally your job. Back when I was in the marines if I was to do something like this I would be held accountable along with EVERYONE else involved. Take responsibility and the punishment. Even as a crane operator now if anything happens like damage, injury or even death you can bet I’ll be held responsible.
Thank you for not defending them unlike "GORDY Ruby" in the comments
Those poor babies that did and didn’t make it! My heart breaks for those families! I hope that those Mom’s and Dad’s and siblings and grandparents know they are admired by a nation for how strong they are and how they have been able to put their own pain and despair aside to fight for justice for the babies and the teachers that were so unnecessarily lost that day. #UvaldeStrong ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was so damn sad. Shame on those "officers"
Yes and shame on youtube viewers who waited 8 months to make a youtube comment and put the blame on police officers.
@@gordsruby5963 ok gordy . You know it all
@@johnye2210 Yeah I know!
@@gordsruby5963 love you man
He said like Walmart leather and rubber 😂
Arredondo claims he didn't know it was an active shooter. Yet he took cover around multiple corners as the shots rang out. If that isn't an active shooter, and if your assessment of the situation cannot evolve with it, what the hell are you doing in charge of anything more than making someone's sandwich? And even then, likely fully unqualified for that, too. Just despicable lack of actions on behalf of those in command and I commend those BP agents who stepped up and took over when they realized kids were still stuck in there with an active shooter and the cops who should be in charge were all wringing their hands si ging "woe is me," and pointing their fingers in all directions. Sadly 19 innocent lives were lost due to this inaction and idiocy, but luckily it didn't end up being anymore because finally, they had enough of the waiting game and playing confused.
To the chief: TELL
ME YOU DONT WANT TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SAYING YOU DONT WANT TO TAKE ACCOUNTABLITY.
My heart goes out to the families !! Uvalde is so close to Houston , and we visit for the beautiful nature and folk it has to offer. My prayers for all of them… all I see is failure everywhere , and cowardly acts.
My heart hurts for the parents that lost their children that day. Mental Health is important and if you see anything online or in person that seems like they need help take them seriously. It could be that person cry for help. You could be that person's light. I pray they are healing well.
Omg I regret watching this during my lunch break. I cant hold back the tears 💔😭😭 My heart breaks with every minute I keep watching.
That lil girl Khloie. She's gonna be a leader one day.
After seeing what happened in Nashville, I feel that many of the LE in Uvalde who were so horribly negligent, should receive the same penalties as that of a deserter in the military.
That poor little girl, she saved more lives then the police, i can't even imagine what that community is going through, truly disturbing
What’s sick is this community voted for governor abbot after this failure
Honestly this ticked me off buy I'll keep fighting to get him out and keep fighting for them to raise the age to 21
Wow, as Sad as it was to watch this Video it did answer a lot of questions and Corrected the Lies...
May All Those Children RIP... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
These poor children and teachers inside! 😭 I remember when this happened and they were initially blaming this teacher for leaving the door open and even then I knew as a teacher myself, this woman did NOT leave the door open. I just knew in my heart she didn’t do that. This was before it was proven as a fact. It was just something you can’t explain other than you would only understand if you are a teacher. Then as the investigation progressed we learned who the real people to blame were besides the gun man. It was those COWARDS that stood outside for over an hour while children were being murdered!
☹️ I know that teacher Eva morales she was my first teacher I had in preschool before she moved to Texas :( I’m heartbroken that my fav teacher is dead
@@alexanderhopkins7837 I’m so sorry for your loss!
@@sassycassie86 ☹️ i am gonna miss her I can’t believe she’s dead 😭💔 I think my depression got worse and worse😭 those kids didn’t deserve to die and those two teachers didn’t deserve it either 😢
I cannot explain the rage this fills me with, each time i hear of this. Those children deserved brave, committed, officers.. to say the least.
I am so sorry to all of the victims and their families. It puts so much pain in my heart.
So what’s the point of making our police look tacti-cool and make them feel like they are a military branch if a 18 year old can scare off people with ballistic vests and bullet proof helmets
