I do not disagree with that premise but by the commercial I saw earlier about sandy hook all 26 that died their were shot in less than 5 minutes. The last I remember hearing is the first officers on scene took 4 minutes after gun shots were heard. So i have to question at what point do the officers lives become valued of that of already dead victims? This is a valid question those officers have families and lives. I do like that this sheriff is pointing out that we need to study all aspects and learn from this tragedy. That is the only way to ensure safety.

Look up this sheriff and his opinion on bodycams. He said if we wanted recordings ``every citizen has cell phones that can point at us” and used the privacy excuse. It shouldn't even be necessary to explain why that's ridiculous in every sense. And it's apparent he believes his officers can do no wrong period and even since that's been proven wrong. He believes they are a complete waste of funds and along with other things, he’s just a virtue signaling authority figure pandering to the public and his community when they've been pushing for them for years
has anybody ever thought about how we use "-ves" to pluralize words that end in "f".... like wolf / wolves, dwarf / dwarves, thief / thieves, wife / wives, etc.... but the plural of "Sheriff", isnt "Sherives"....
@@Asidebar Real insightful comment there you godamn clown. The press conference where he charged his own officers with evidence tampering and even more godamn charges wouldn’t that prove my point even MORE that they need bodycameras? That they can’t sift all the potential shit that walks into their department? Are you seriously going to ignore the fact he said “if the citizens want to record, they got a camera they can point at us?”. Do you agree with him too that bodycams are a waste of money? Do we not need transparency or do we have to receive it all from this guy and the spectacle he puts on called a press conference making jokes of the criminals and the crimes? How does he try to be transparent when he refuses to get at least that? Does it not feel like he doesn’t even want the chance for there to be an opportunity where if his officers were to do wrong on lesser shit or if the citizens were to allege something they wouldn’t be caught? Use your brain for yourself and think about what’s happened between the police and citizens in the last 20 years for once and quit being a fucking tone deaf bootlicker for once in your shit life. It’s a he said/she said when shit hits the fan, without bodycams, imagine yourself being stopped by one of the officers he charged. You would’ve been FUCKED. And Grady still refuses to get them? Does that make any sense when they protect the officers and citizens? You like the way he talks about criminals, that’s it. Get the fuck over it.
So much common sense he refuses to allow body cameras for his officers and his officers get arrested at a higher rate than any other department. More like him is exactly why police are so corrupt. They look good on the surface but did deeper and you see the utter corruption and incompetence.
Parents have a right to defend their child’s life against a threat and the cops took that from them with force , threat and with not a damn given. Sad day !
Safety starts with the schools. They do not follow their own safety procedures. These gunmen are just walking in? This is what’s happing to these children that are being shot. Police cannot protect your children. It is not their job to protect children. It’s the schools job to protect the children. People are not asking the right questions.
I was a deputy sheriff in a Texas county for many years. The Dallas S.W.A.T. Team was brought in to give us active shooter training in an actual local school on the weekend when school was closed. We, also, were a small agency in a rural part of the state, with sparse population. Although we were trained in teams, the Sheriff's instructions were abundantly clear. When you arrive, you immediately search for and engage the shooter, even if you are alone.
@@amethystorgan4293 that is everyone's question at this time. The reason given by the Uvalde School Police Department Chief, who was the on scene incident commander, was that since shooting had stopped, he believed it to be a barricaded gunman situation and chose to wait for better equipped officers instead of making entry. No one in law enforcement is agreeing with that assessment or decision. Also, now, that chief of police has failed to respond to two Texas Rangers' requests for a follow up case interview for the last two days.
@@nomadicobserver4224 I'm responding after the security chief claimed that he is in fact cooperating with the investigation. Whether he's lying or if they've been throwing him under the bus the whole time, it underscores the point that when LEOs aren't transparent or their stories change, it's hard to trust them. That's why Sheriff Grady is a breath of fresh air, because he gets that!

I am proud to be a School Guardian in Florida (not Polk County, but still…)…and Grady is absolutely correct. My wife and kids know that every day I go to work that I will one hundred percent give my life for those kids. I (and my fellow guardians) would not think twice. It’s who we are…
@@michaelmcclarinphone Well, sort of. Some are still sworn, but not all. It is, however, a requirement to apply to have experience in law enforcement or military, and some still have valid LEO certs. A School Guardian in Florida (the program was created after Parkland, and actually called the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program after the coach who lost his life saving other students) is an armed officer who patrols a school and maintains a safe environment for students. We are extensively trained by our sheriff’s department in many tactics, and our shooting qualifications are stricter than most law enforcement criteria (as one would hope since we are carrying at a school). We go through thorough background checks, psychological evaluations, and polygraphs before even being considered. So yes, many of us are former Leo, and we all are trained by local law enforcement, but we are school board employees and fall under their rules and regulations…
Homeland! He needs to be president. Who would you trust more to protect the United States, sheriff Judd or that nasty old, totally senile piece of trash that's in the White House right now?
i say this every time, every county needs a grady judd. this man is what every sheriff should strive to be allowed to be by the community and backed up by legislatures.
The sheriff should be non-partisan, but Judd is an open republican, and endorses candidates. Very inappropriate, and this is relevant because he just skirted around questions about gun safety reform.anyone not interested in that is biased, and we can't trust biased individuals in power
To bad every county in the USA does not have a sheriff of this level of bad assness. We need to have teachers armed like Isreal’s teachers. This has not happened in their schools-in over 25 years.
I believe while I was in the Polk County school system, I did meet this man at one point. Schools in Florida have deans and police officers, almost every single one. And they take precautions to make sure children are safe. Sheriff Judd is THE example of what our country should have for standards for every single officer/sheriff.
trust me, we here in TX are disgusted and ashamed of the way law enforcement handled that shooting. It's wishful thinking but if that police chief is not fired there is some serious bs going on in that town. What really pisses me off is all our DPS troopers standing around outside trying to look badass. I'm 76 years old and I am ashamed of how this was handled.

Outstanding briefing. I completely support your policies in responding to school shootings .I belief your plan is the best in the United States. Thanks Chief.
Excellent discussion. The police chief has said he "thought it was a barricaded shooter" situation. I don't believe that. There were STILL 911 calls coming in while the chief was waiting outside. Look at the time line of the 911 calls. The local force had recieved training in school shooting response just two months prior. Should have been pretty fresh in their minds. The off duty Border Patrolman who shot the shooter, got a call from his wife (teacher) while getting a haircut. She told him "active shooter. Help." He borrowed the barber's shotgun, went inside, and ended the threat. Exactly what the cowardly police chief was preventing others from doing.
Not just Sheriff's, Police chiefs, or any head of a Law Enforcement agency, and the shit bird Politian's that make it impossible in most places for someone like Grady Judd to be all he/she can be.
As a retired school bus drive here in Illinois I can say that every time that I had to enter a school building be it an elementary school or a high school, I had to enter via the school office through a locked door, and at the high schools I had to get past a school security officer, not once did I just walk in even if I was driving a sports bus, to my own alma mater!

Security that work in schools and other locations that are targets for mass attacks should be trained to spot and deal with the threat until police can arrive. This training in Florida should be required for security officers as well.
I just said the same in a few comments before there could have been still injured children staff in that hour. And everything these two gentlemen said is exactly how I feel. When it comes to anyone with a gun threatening innocent lives there is no negotiating. The suspect needs to be taken down as soon as possible dead or alive. I don't wish death on anyone but an active shooter needs to be stopped. Judd is admirable and wee need lawmakers like him and politicians like him everywhere but i know that's just not going to happen.
It's all talk, these police officers are not trained to deal with this type of stress. They're not soldiers they are police officers totally different this dude is a nut
You do realize Grady does not allow body cameras for his officers?? He REFUSES to even consider putting cams on them. Then go look at how many of his deputies have been arrested. He presides over one of the most dirty and corrupt departments in the U.S. People praising cops like him is exactly why we are in the sad state of affairs we are in today.
Pay more attention to what he's really saying. I bought it into it too, for the first minute or so. But when a guy who says he wants to keep our kids safe doesn't even think it's worth TRYING to reduce at least some crimes committed by legally purchased AR15s, doesn't even want to make it slightly more difficult, you realize you're dealing with a guy who might genuinely care about kids but cares just as much or more about strutting and flexing.
what he has described IS the duty of a Peace Officer, a Law Enforcement Officer. He knows that and expects it of everyone under his direction. it is a lot of the problem in the U.S. that it now is going above and beyond to simply fulfill the oaths of office.
They would if we didn't have so many guns lol. New Zealand is a prime example. We just have wayyyyyy more guns than we do citizens... guns are definitely the problem we just can't really do anything about it. Deranged people commit crimes all over the world, only in america do people go into schools with LEGALLY purchased long rifles on a pretty regular basis. Any other solution is just a band aid and everyone knows it.
It's not just lack of training. It's also push back from the school system itself. Not wanting to do anything that changes what they currently do or lengthens the day or makes things more difficult than they already are. I worked for a public school system and they had metal detectors. They wouldn't even plug in and work that set them up but wouldn't plug them in. They had metal detectors in storage units that were brand new at would not even use them. They had doors that were held open by chains intentionally because teachers didn't want to go around the school to bring the class back in. It's not just training. It's also push back from the schools. The teachers, the administrators who don't want to make the change. They don't think the threat is real
Ulvade was planned by some sick evil whacko! Those lives were expendable to reach a goal, those kids and those teachers didn't matter. The police were in on the plan, the border patrol was not. Ask yourself what resulted from the murders at Ulvade, who benefited from the murders? Look at the big picture and use your common sense, look at the murderer and his circumstances. Why was Kyle Rittenhouse prosecuted? Why do the politiians want to disarm the folks who never broke a law, by passing a bill that allows the government to take away the arms of law abiding citizens and ignoring due process? Because the elites have plans for the country and you're not on the winning side of the changes they have in store for us. Be prepared, we are in for some tough times.

I so wish he could train LE & regular folks as he really ‘has his act together’. Our whole country would benefit from all this.

I disagree when you have trained for the event, you follow your training. When you have the right equipment it is not suicide! I believe that the lack of action was directly lack of training. That and having the right equipment. He may have been stopped before the his grandmother was killed. We need to be part of the solution. When he posted on social media that he was going to kill his grandmother with his rifle. Anyone seeing it should have alerted authorities immediately! We help to fight crime.

They get paid out the ass to not do shit, there's literally only 2 entire instances I can find where a school guardian stops the shooter. Yet you can find example after example of regular school faculty stopping an active shooter. Sounds like we need to increase the school faculty pay because sometimes they have to do the officers job for them and they don't get called heros and also don't get paid more.
@@PounderOfCheeks You do understand the function of a deterrent right? Obviously if they are not having to stop school shooters then they are accomplishing the goal of why they are there. As far as what they get paid I have no clue but you put your life on the line and you would want some fair wage as well. The staff is also trained in this program so I don’t get what your beef is? Do you have any idea what the secret service gets paid for protecting the president?
No they are there to stop school shooters lol, just because that isn't the key reason they were employed there doesn't mean they aren't there to stop a menace from killing innocent children, teachers, and faculty.
not a gun issue... if he wanted one... bought it on the street...he would have got it... this is mental health issue... hate and anger... vidieos of him harming animals...he would have used his car or other type of harming devise...friends and family had no clue... except he was a loner
Exactly MY question as well. Why are we giving this world babies when so many of them are harmed, assaulted, traumatized, ruined and ultimately k!lled. So why? Texas (where the shooting occurred) is the same state that forces women to keep babies. Yet when women tried to save their babies at that school-they weren’t even allowed to protect them. For almost an hour….
Yeah im confused. I think she forgot to proofread it. I think she meant why not have the doors lock and an officer who is willing to save lifes at each school.
I don't believe somebody with such high standards that even arrest and prosecuted his own bad apples and stands guard for the poor and elderly would break the law planting evidence and lieying in court.not him..if you say that please back it up with case numbers and evidence.

Hard to get the government to do there job in anything in FL. The only the government did anything with speed was about if years ago and there were water shortages. You could only water on certain day and times of days. . Well they gave me a $300.00 ticket for watering the wrong day. They also put this huge red sticker on my garage door for everyone to see from the street. Well I did not water on the wrong day, but had a sprinkler with a hose attached to it and water the night before when I was allowed. I have left the hose in my front yards, but it was off. The water turn off value was on a timer and was in my locker garage. Well this was in Wellington and decided to contest the ticket. However they made it where most people would just pay, because of you lost they like doubled the fee for court cost. But I know my sprinkler was not on. Then I read other towns only next tonus and about the same size in population had only given out like 100 ticket, while my town had given like 3000 of them in the same few weeks time.. Well about 100 people showed up to contest the ticket and the code enforcement admitted that he did not see any water sprinklers that were actually on but told to give tickets if the lawn looked wetter and greener then it should. Well the judge basically made it were almost all the tickets expunged. The city was not happy since they hired extra people and literally had plan to make so much money from the tickets to help cost. People were not happy.,

ya I would have ran in with you may have got teased. Do you know the shooter text someone telling that he was going to shoot his grandmother then 30 before the shooting he text someone again seems like the door should have been locked with police already there
Thank God for the off duty Border Patrol Agent who drove 40 miles there and passed the police rushed inside, and subdued the gunman! The Sheriff advised him not to go in!!!

Once again the police were instructed by their supervisor to stand down. Because they are told to wait and make sure there is an assailant before you take action . They waited around while innocent children were slaughtered by a mentally Ill person that was not stopped way before this incident.

@@SkinniJ The majority of the people Sheriff Just serves TRUST him. Sheriff Judd knows MUCH better than you.
@@Asidebar Real insightful comment there you godamn clown.
The press conference where he charged his own officers with evidence tampering and even more godamn charges wouldn’t that prove my point even MORE that they need bodycameras? That they can’t sift all the potential shit that walks into their department? Are you seriously going to ignore the fact he said “if the citizens want to record, they got a camera they can point at us?”. Do you agree with him too that bodycams are a waste of money? Do we not need transparency or do we have to receive it all from this guy and the spectacle he puts on called a press conference making jokes of the criminals and the crimes?
How does he try to be transparent when he refuses to get at least that? Does it not feel like he doesn’t even want the chance for there to be an opportunity where if his officers were to do wrong on lesser shit or if the citizens were to allege something they wouldn’t be caught?
Use your brain for yourself and think about what’s happened between the police and citizens in the last 20 years for once and quit being a fucking tone deaf bootlicker for once in your shit life. It’s a he said/she said when shit hits the fan, without bodycams, imagine yourself being stopped by one of the officers he charged. You would’ve been FUCKED. And Grady still refuses to get them? Does that make any sense when they protect the officers and citizens?
You like the way he talks about criminals, that’s it. Get the fuck over it.

The original is, "When seconds count, the police are just minutes away." It's available on t-shirts.
Safety starts with the schools. They do not follow their own safety procedures. These gunmen are just walking in? This is what’s happing to these children that are being shot. Police cannot protect your children. It is not their job to protect children. It’s the schools job to protect the children. People are not asking the right questions.
As a grandfather, I assure you every school, every police department, every parent, every grandparents in this country needs to watch this video!
They won’t
This is a CLINIC in communication!
U
I was a deputy sheriff in a Texas county for many years. The Dallas S.W.A.T. Team was brought in to give us active shooter training in an actual local school on the weekend when school was closed. We, also, were a small agency in a rural part of the state, with sparse population. Although we were trained in teams, the Sheriff's instructions were abundantly clear. When you arrive, you immediately search for and engage the shooter, even if you are alone.
LEOs are HEROES
EXACTLY!!!!
so why then did they not????????????????
there is way more to this
@@amethystorgan4293 that is everyone's question at this time. The reason given by the Uvalde School Police Department Chief, who was the on scene incident commander, was that since shooting had stopped, he believed it to be a barricaded gunman situation and chose to wait for better equipped officers instead of making entry. No one in law enforcement is agreeing with that assessment or decision. Also, now, that chief of police has failed to respond to two Texas Rangers' requests for a follow up case interview for the last two days.
@@nomadicobserver4224 I'm responding after the security chief claimed that he is in fact cooperating with the investigation. Whether he's lying or if they've been throwing him under the bus the whole time, it underscores the point that when LEOs aren't transparent or their stories change, it's hard to trust them. That's why Sheriff Grady is a breath of fresh air, because he gets that!
Cowardly cops stood outside while children were murdered.
Those same cops STOPPED others from going in to save the children.
Pretty much all that you need to know is right there.
yep and now they are trying to cover their rears. And all i hear from this guy is is tuff guy talk after the fact.

Thank you Sir!💖💪💪💖
God bless you and prayers for your continued safety. ❤️🙏
What is a “guardian” for what is seens you aren’t a sworn law enforcement officer/deputy? 🤔
@@michaelmcclarinphone Well, sort of. Some are still sworn, but not all. It is, however, a requirement to apply to have experience in law enforcement or military, and some still have valid LEO certs. A School Guardian in Florida (the program was created after Parkland, and actually called the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program after the coach who lost his life saving other students) is an armed officer who patrols a school and maintains a safe environment for students. We are extensively trained by our sheriff’s department in many tactics, and our shooting qualifications are stricter than most law enforcement criteria (as one would hope since we are carrying at a school). We go through thorough background checks, psychological evaluations, and polygraphs before even being considered. So yes, many of us are former Leo, and we all are trained by local law enforcement, but we are school board employees and fall under their rules and regulations…

I believe while I was in the Polk County school system, I did meet this man at one point. Schools in Florida have deans and police officers, almost every single one. And they take precautions to make sure children are safe. Sheriff Judd is THE example of what our country should have for standards for every single officer/sheriff.

Outstanding briefing. I completely support your policies in responding to school shootings .I belief your plan is the best in the United States. Thanks Chief.
Excellent discussion. The police chief has said he "thought it was a barricaded shooter" situation. I don't believe that. There were STILL 911 calls coming in while the chief was waiting outside. Look at the time line of the 911 calls. The local force had recieved training in school shooting response just two months prior. Should have been pretty fresh in their minds. The off duty Border Patrolman who shot the shooter, got a call from his wife (teacher) while getting a haircut. She told him "active shooter. Help." He borrowed the barber's shotgun, went inside, and ended the threat. Exactly what the cowardly police chief was preventing others from doing.
This man is a great sheriff. I hope we can appreciate his efforts and drive to protect the area for years to come!
America needs more sheriffs like Grady Judd. This is heart wrenching.

This is my county Sheriff and I can say with confidence he means every word.
Security that work in schools and other locations that are targets for mass attacks should be trained to spot and deal with the threat until police can arrive. This training in Florida should be required for security officers as well.
I just said the same in a few comments before there could have been still injured children staff in that hour. And everything these two gentlemen said is exactly how I feel. When it comes to anyone with a gun threatening innocent lives there is no negotiating. The suspect needs to be taken down as soon as possible dead or alive. I don't wish death on anyone but an active shooter needs to be stopped.
Judd is admirable and wee need lawmakers like him and politicians like him everywhere but i know that's just not going to happen.
Wow! You go sheriff Grady! We need more people like you who goes above and beyond your duty! Thank you Sheriff! May God keep you safe.

@@Mannyr-bu7qv this is what a man should be, you’re weak
You do realize Grady does not allow body cameras for his officers?? He REFUSES to even consider putting cams on them. Then go look at how many of his deputies have been arrested. He presides over one of the most dirty and corrupt departments in the U.S. People praising cops like him is exactly why we are in the sad state of affairs we are in today.
Pay more attention to what he's really saying. I bought it into it too, for the first minute or so. But when a guy who says he wants to keep our kids safe doesn't even think it's worth TRYING to reduce at least some crimes committed by legally purchased AR15s, doesn't even want to make it slightly more difficult, you realize you're dealing with a guy who might genuinely care about kids but cares just as much or more about strutting and flexing.
what he has described IS the duty of a Peace Officer, a Law Enforcement Officer. He knows that and expects it of everyone under his direction. it is a lot of the problem in the U.S. that it now is going above and beyond to simply fulfill the oaths of office.
Sheriff Grady - you are so right - more gun laws don’t prevent deranged people from committing violent crimes.
They would if we didn't have so many guns lol. New Zealand is a prime example. We just have wayyyyyy more guns than we do citizens... guns are definitely the problem we just can't really do anything about it. Deranged people commit crimes all over the world, only in america do people go into schools with LEGALLY purchased long rifles on a pretty regular basis. Any other solution is just a band aid and everyone knows it.
His did not do this job!!!
🎯💯
Why do people argue this when statistic show that they do. Americans don't need AR rifles and never will
@@LaughterOfSilence Care to share the stats that show they do?
It's not just lack of training. It's also push back from the school system itself. Not wanting to do anything that changes what they currently do or lengthens the day or makes things more difficult than they already are. I worked for a public school system and they had metal detectors. They wouldn't even plug in and work that set them up but wouldn't plug them in. They had metal detectors in storage units that were brand new at would not even use them. They had doors that were held open by chains intentionally because teachers didn't want to go around the school to bring the class back in. It's not just training. It's also push back from the schools. The teachers, the administrators who don't want to make the change. They don't think the threat is real
Ulvade was planned by some sick evil whacko! Those lives were expendable to reach a goal, those kids and those teachers didn't matter. The police were in on the plan, the border patrol was not. Ask yourself what resulted from the murders at Ulvade, who benefited from the murders? Look at the big picture and use your common sense, look at the murderer and his circumstances. Why was Kyle Rittenhouse prosecuted? Why do the politiians want to disarm the folks who never broke a law, by passing a bill that allows the government to take away the arms of law abiding citizens and ignoring due process? Because the elites have plans for the country and you're not on the winning side of the changes they have in store for us. Be prepared, we are in for some tough times.

They get paid out the ass to not do shit, there's literally only 2 entire instances I can find where a school guardian stops the shooter.

@@PounderOfCheeks You do understand the function of a deterrent right? Obviously if they are not having to stop school shooters then they are accomplishing the goal of why they are there. As far as what they get paid I have no clue but you put your life on the line and you would want some fair wage as well. The staff is also trained in this program so I don’t get what your beef is? Do you have any idea what the secret service gets paid for protecting the president?
No they are there to stop school shooters lol, just because that isn't the key reason they were employed there doesn't mean they aren't there to stop a menace from killing innocent children, teachers, and faculty.

What's bad is that there were parents, armed and ready to go in, be the 'Guardians' for their children, and the police there actually arrested all of them that showed up, ready to storm the school.
@@rhondaalbrecht Most of these Cop ass kisses will never realize that.
@@rhondaalbrecht Goes to show you - when lots of people armed they cannot tell who's a good guy and who's a bad guy.
"more safer"? Why is this guy better than any other sheriff? He's a good talker for sure but WHY is he better than any other cop ?
@@christinestill5002 He claims he's better
Brings tears to my eyes, I love this man and thank him for everything he does for the entire state of Florida. 🙏❤️
He's an idiot and an embarrassment. He wants to be a standup comic.
All talk if there’s no prior training and equipment to properly respond to jobs like a active shooter behind a locked door.
😄
@@tax905972 you literally know nothing..
@@tax905972 they're just trying to get into our pants. And shoot us in the back.
This has got to be one of the best sheriff's I the country. The people he serves are very lucky.
Much Respect to Sheriff Grady. We need more Sheriff Grady’s in all counties in the United States. Sheriff Grady is a very knowledgeable man.
Sheriff Grady Judd, Sir, I am Canadian but have so much respect for you and the Leader that you are! You exhibit compassion and empathy, as well as integrity and I love how your true grit shines, when need be! No bullshit!! I honestly believe you are an Angel on Earth. Those that are surrounded by you should feel so very grateful!
This state of Florida is blessed with having such a great man of leadership and common sense knowledge of the situation!!! Thanks for sharing your time Sherriff!!
But his county is shit full of drugs affective
Amen!
So many wonderful things about sheriff Grady but sadly, I am trying to get over him standing with DeSantis the other day.
Believe me Florida has plenty of its own problems
You have a great Governor DeSantis too!
There's ONE solution. Guard the schools like you do POLITICIANS. Problem solved.
You are SO right....I drive a school bus for a living and I have one student who talks " disturbingly" . He talked about shooting someone and another time of " holding up my knife" against someone and threatening his sister and other family members. Needless to say, I've written up him SEVERAL TIMES for this and I've even written up Incident Reports twice. !!!! First because " if you see su, you should SAY SOMETHING" AND to protect MYSELF.. Our training as drivers include C.Y.A. ( COVER YOUR A* S. ...)!!!
Thank you Sheriff Grady for being the voice of reason and for your informed comments.
I swear I love this man because he keeps it real and it doesn’t matter if your purple, yellow, red, or orange he’s going to tell it like it is. He reminds me of my father that has been clean from drugs and alcohol for close to 20 years that my brother had to basically make me open up to letting that man into my life, but I’m glad I listened. Even though he angers me at times he would never steer me wrong in the mindset that he has today. It’s an honor to say that that this Sheriff reminds me about of my dad when I think about his past.
Okay!!!
Look up this sheriff and his opinion on bodycams. He said if we wanted recordings ``every citizen has cell phones that can point at us” and used the privacy excuse. It shouldn't even be necessary to explain why that's ridiculous in every sense. And it's apparent he believes his officers can do no wrong period and even since that's been proven wrong
He believes they are a complete waste of funds and along with other things, he’s just a virtue signaling authority figure pandering to the public and his community when they've been pushing for them for years
Literally seems soo fair like I'd actually thank him for arresting me because I know his speech will turn my life around
I'm not from Florida but I always watch these news briefings. Grady Judd is what EVERY state needs
Thank you for your wonderful speech ,we all needed too learn and stand together
Sheriff Grady Judd always nails it and delivers his message perfectly.
That kind of response would NEVER have happened in Polk County. Sheriff Grady epitomizes what a law enforcement officer should be...and he does it with honesty and compassion! Thank God we have men like him!
Wish we had more men like him in this USA! 🤔
Didn't he just say he was in charge?
Amen
@@AM-bw7hv the shooting was in Texas and Grady is in Florida. So... No
ITS THE SCHOOLS LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE STUDENTS SAFE, AND TEACHERS TOO .
May God Bless Sheriff Grady!! He is the kind of Sheriff that you would expect here in Texas… Keep up the great work Sir.
It sure is hard to get anything done in Broward county. Especially for children with special needs. Thanks for calling them out Sheriff ❤️
my hearth goes out for your children bless you. 💓💔
That's because Coward county is run by democrats, and contrary to all their anti-gun blustering they really don't care about the lives of children. If they did they wouldn't vote to have them dismembered and murdered in the womb.
Hard to get the government to do there job in anything in FL. The only the government did anything with speed was about if years ago and there were water shortages. You could only water on certain day and times of days. . Well they gave me a $300.00 ticket for watering the wrong day. They also put this huge red sticker on my garage door for everyone to see from the street. Well I did not water on the wrong day, but had a sprinkler with a hose attached to it and water the night before when I was allowed. I have left the hose in my front yards, but it was off. The water turn off value was on a timer and was in my locker garage. Well this was in Wellington and decided to contest the ticket. However they made it where most people would just pay, because of you lost they like doubled the fee for court cost. But I know my sprinkler was not on. Then I read other towns only next tonus and about the same size in population had only given out like 100 ticket, while my town had given like 3000 of them in the same few weeks time.. Well about 100 people showed up to contest the ticket and the code enforcement admitted that he did not see any water sprinklers that were actually on but told to give tickets if the lawn looked wetter and greener then it should. Well the judge basically made it were almost all the tickets expunged. The city was not happy since they hired extra people and literally had plan to make so much money from the tickets to help cost. People were not happy.,
@@JAM661 It is hard to get any government organization to do anything that isn't bogged down by bureaucracy. Unless it involves stealing money or property from citizens.
We need to clone Sheriff Grady. He is a rare human being. If only more like him would run for sheriff, we all would be a lot safer.
And maybe figure out a way to dump his memories and experience into the clone?
On god we do I feel everything he say it makes tear up to know what he says he mean it and the world around him means to him salute man

I agree 100% 👍🏻👍🏻
We had LEO's in my HS in the late 90's. You can feel their presence and it was a welcome one.
I applied to Sheriff for his viewpoints and his efforts to protect the public of his county in the state of Florida
The kids who called were more brave than the paid officers in this case. That’s very sad. You couldn’t have kept me from rushing that school even unarmed. I’m not even a parent and it upsets me something horrific. I can’t imagine what the parents, families and victims felt and continue to feel.
Border patrol agents were way more brave then the TX troopers we have over here. BP agent Jason Albarado took out the gunman.
Well said. I would have run in there and done anything I could've done. Edit: the law enforcement needs to be held accountable
ya I would have ran in with you may have got teased. Do you know the shooter text someone telling that he was going to shoot his grandmother then 30 before the shooting he text someone again seems like the door should have been locked with police already there
Thank God for the off duty Border Patrol Agent who drove 40 miles there and passed the police rushed inside, and subdued the gunman! The Sheriff advised him not to go in!!! His wife taught there & his child was a student. He got them out safely and went in to shoot the shooter. Countless more lives would've been lost if he hadn't. I think some of his fellow Agents went with him!! God bless our Border Patrol Agents! 🙏✝️
Once again the police were instructed by their supervisor to stand down. Because they are told to wait and make sure there is an assailant before you take action . They waited around while innocent children were slaughtered by a mentally Ill person that was not stopped way before this incident.
Look at the guts this man has. Got up and spoke out and called it as it is. A complete failure. Being a sheriff himself and all the possibilities of backlash from around the nation.
THIS IS DONALD TRUMPS AND TRUMPS SUPPORTERS FAULT
BLMBLM BLM BLM BLM BLM BLM BLM DEFUND THE POLICE DEFUND THE POLICE DEFUND THE POLICE
This guy is a racist trump supporting KKK MEMBER REPUBLICAN. THIS IS TRUMPS FAULT.
Wow! I love these ideas, I'm a safe school Officer working for a private security company and for 4 years I have protected my school and I love all my children and teachers.
Thank you for being one if the good ones. Bless your heart
How the police could sit and wait for "backup" while that guy was in their killing children is a disgrace
They also physically restrained parents from going in
I agree. This was beyond belief that they stood outside the door while little kids were being murdered. Sorry you guys chose to be a cop. That’s part of your job. While I don’t wish for any police officer to be killed you knew the job when you took it. Those were little kids. I would of gladly taken a billet for any one of those kids
@@azureavocado5195 smh...they should have handed over their rifles to those parents. not put them in handcuffs
Listen to officer tatum's youtube about it. The reports may not all be true. First reports usually are not all that accurate.
Love this man and his common-sense approach to problems. Too bad so much of the world is lacking in common sense.
Common since? Where is the common since in allowing Semi automatic assault rifles to be purchased by 18 year olds?
@@patrickkeeney4024 Can you tell us, Patrick?
@@patrickkeeney4024 semi-automatic assault rifle? i see you don't understand guns at all
This is what real leadership looks like...
Sheriff Graady is USA Sheriff, we need more like him. God bless our courageous law enforcement officers 🇺🇲👍🏼🙏🏻
Sheriff, you are 99% right. The only thing you got wrong is thinking all it takes is training. It takes common sense and guts and those guys had neither.
He said it take that as well earlier on in the clip, not in those exact words but he did say it
You can train the recruiters to select better men.
If they are shooting at us they are not shooting at the children. Thank you sir, thank you and hope you can spread that thought to the rest of law enforcement.
What sheriff Judd is saying here is, if you’re legally and competently able, CARRY A FIREARM! When seconds matter, help is minutes away.
What a spectacular sheriff !!! Thank you sir.
