Lawrence: Republicans Don't Want You To Know The Truth About TX School Massacre
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 май 2022
- For years, Republicans have argued that the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains why the mass murder of 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, has again proven that Republican plan will never work.

The fact that the police can't get their story straight just tells me that they are lying..
how did that "on site armed officer" just disappear, after they were a big part of the story before?
i don't think it is a conspiracy, just ACAB. but the level of covering up for each-other and lying is so sick and blatant it makes it look like a conspiracy. i can imagine how someone sees all these cops lying and turns to alex jones. disgusting.
As usual
Cops have always been liars. Cops will always be liars. Never trust anyone wearing a badge. They get away with murder in America.
true. and we are getting a lot of lies these days.
They (law enforcement) froze, they were unprepared and they waited an hour. They know their handguns will not protect them against an AR-15. So they chose NOT to engage. Same thing happened in the Florida mass killing. The "leo" that was at the school ran away from the area with the active shooter.
They would have gotten a better response if they had called the fire department. Those guys are actually brave.
Fact
I've heard that in France the firemen can actually be armed. FWIW
AND they get significantly longer and better crisis training. In Washington State, police only need 500 hours training, whereas beauticians require 2000 hours to be licensed.
Fireman goes into the building to safe lives. Policeman goes after traffic stop. Safing lives only happen when gunman is dead by special force.
Rightfully so. Appreciate that you said this, they're fierce and fearless.
Pinning on the teachers is so low. That alone is proof enough that their narrative is fiction
That's what I thought 2.... PATHETIC.
Who is they?
It is beyond stupidity to arm teachers. Their training is to teach, not fire weapons. What is this country becoming?
An fully trained armed guard is a deterrent, but not a solution.
No doors other than front entry, with a security guard present, may prevent tragedies like Uvalde.
Teachers are trained to teach, and many have dedicated years to teaching. But they should not be expected to become armed guards. I don’t know what the solution is, but I pray someone is smart enough to find one!
@@katherinetreece4102 It was a pass the buck trick that might have worked with gun-rights activists and Republicans cuz it fits their narrative. It fell on it's face as the reality that armed, amoured and, one could assume TRAINED law enforcement officers couldn't stand up to one armed gunman. It really showed what absolute lunacy their "Arm everyone so instead of safety we have mutually assured destruction" narrative is.
"they were there to support a story that they wanted to be true" very powerful and so true
Like we said in nam everyday is a Good Day to Die
Those cops were roughing up the murdered children's parents instead of saving children's lives!
Yep.
The F-ing COWARDS
Monsters!
Cowards very sad 👿
@@anamerican8399 👍
Police fought and arrested parents fighting to save their own children’s lives
Can incompetence get any worse?
No it can not.
Not mentioned is the fact that the shooter learned the skill of killing by playing hours and hours of video games centered around shooting. That is why he was able to wound some police officers. The idea of guns overcoming guns is stupid. Guns in the classroom? Really?
COWARDLY ACTION! RENEGADE 101ST.
Yes.
I’m is readily apparent how poorly trained law enforcement is, at least in Texas. And I suspect elsewhere as well
Training is costly. No one wants to pay for it. Unless they institute a “ death tax” on gun and ammo manufacturers
@@theblade9024 bruh u think Ninja knows how to shoot a gun?
And let me point out… teachers don’t get paid enough for that! He’s OUT OF HIS MIND. Cruz and Abbott, what hypocrites. They need to be FIRED.
Can I please request an edit where "teachers don't get paid enough for that" is in all caps?
They all fail. This is extremely sad.
My condolences and prayers are with the family of the young kids that lost a son or daughter.
Condolences sounds like a much better word than thoughts.
@@adamkalb1 : Yes, and the prayers do nothing.
Wow. Teachers and children practice being quiet for an active shooter drill. Then the cops 👮♂️ tell the kids to yell?!?! Infuriating.
drill?
@@coryleblanc "drill" as in practice session.
Why can't y'all see these officers were involved.
Officers had to have known the shooter was in that classroom with the kids ,unless he magically disappeared,. So basically they are the reason that kid was murdered, she probably would have made it out if he hadn't told her to say help. How do these Officers feel about how they handled this tragedy?
@@coryleblanc Yes, every month schools have to have a "drill"/practice for an emergency. fire drill, earthquake (in CA), "Lock Down/Shelter in Place", sometimes with exiting the building & sometimes w/o.
the cops afraid to stop the shooter didn't have a problem handcuffing, tackling and pepper spraying parents who would have given their own lives to save their kids. those cops should go deliver pizzas. oh, they'd get background checked and drug tested for pizza delivery...
This isnwhat happens when you hire bullies as police officers. They are tough as nails when "arresting or detaining" unarmed suspects and they out number those suspects. But when a suspect is armed and engages them with force, even though they heavily outnumbered the shooter they did nothing for 1 hour. In that one hour 19 children were slaughtered. They disgraced their uniforms and their badges.
Pizza delivery is statistically more dangerous than being a cop.
It wasn't the officers
It was the people giving them their orders who weren't at the scene
Trying to blame the officers deflects blame away from the people responsible
@@robertstanford1778
Let me tell you about police officers in Chicago Il. Two years ago a woman was shot and murdered by her ex husband two houses down where I live and them he shot himself. It took them around 20 minutes to get here. In addition they tried to save the men's life ,the murder. The lady was lying all bloody on the floor. Then sunddenly her cellular phone rang. One of the police officer said out loud. Sorry she cannot answer right now and smiled. The woman was dead and he was making fun of her dead. This represents the police . Trust them ever!
@@jamesricker3997 following orders didn't work for the nazis, it shouldn't work for these monsters.
This is just so horrible and horrific. As a mother and now grandmother I can't imagine this unthinkable act towards these babies. My Condolences goes to each of these families
This happened on my very last day I spent in the US for holidays at my sister's house.
A few days prior she was doing her best to convince me to move there (Cincinnati OH) and leave Sweden.
I told her there's no way I can see myself living with this constant fear of my daughter going to school and never coming back.
US is a great place to visit for holidays, nothing more.
RIP to all those poor families..
They make all this fuss about protecting the unborn. 'From the cradle to the grave' has a wholly different meaning for Texan children.
Very true!
Not mentioned is the fact that the shooter learned the skill of killing by playing hours and hours of video games centered around shooting. That is why he was able to wound some police officers. The idea of guns overcoming guns is stupid. Guns in the classroom? Really?
@@theblade9024 are you seriously blaming VIDEO GAMES?! For this massacre?
@@theblade9024 As a gamer and a gun owner, video games are not to blame. Other countries have the same games. The difference between america and other countries are extremely loose gun laws.
@@theblade9024 also, by your logic, playing sports video games will make you better at playing sports in real life.
At the TOPS grocery store in Buffalo, a black retired policeman/security guard rushed in without hesitation and lost his life trying to save others. The police in Uvalde, who were fully geared, tasered the parents trying to save their kids and stood by for 40 mins.
That's probably due to all that border crossing training they've received, different scenarios.
@@louisecollard2320 It’s due to having a real oath to your job! He wasn’t a coward, that’s the ONLY difference.
There’s “White Courage” for ya
@@anamerican8399 Very brave those cops against unarmed people, but they needed "reinforcements" to move ahead.
The parents had more courage than those "policemen."
Cowards like Abbott 👿
One teacher who is now recovering from three gun wounds said he lost 11 children that day. Makes you wonder why were those law enforcement officers on the school premises makes no sense! Were they afraid of the shooter/ they were afraid they might have died in a gun battle with the shooter?
Wow, this is so hurtful. I cry everytime I listen to more reports.
I watched this same little boy say he saw his classmate being shot 5 times . And when a police officer finally managed to get into the classroom - he uttered the words “Oh my God”. If a blooming grown man , trained to protect the public ; was so overwhelmed by the sight of bloodied, disfigured dead children. Can you take a moment and imagine what this little fella witnessed and how he feels ?????????
Knot in my throat
Law enforcement an politicians don’t care about anyone but themselves
Poor babies will need lots of counseling and support for a long time to come. I can't even imagine what those babies endured in those 2 class rooms. Sad events and failure on all levels 😪
Tears again in NZ..I just don't know how you bear it America..
@@suehowie152 We can't.
Asking bystanders in an active shooting zone to draw the gunman's attention with instructions to ask for help does sound like one of the stupidest things the police could have done at the time.
My school emphasized how you should never scream for help. Your location will be found, and unfortunately hers was found… 💔💔
He probably was a fire officer used to saying Fire Department call out just saying?
acab
CHILDREN at that.
In a state with probably the nation's most laxed gun laws you'd have though Gov. Abbott would've made sure his police were adequately trained to deal with these situations? But no, even that was beyond Abbott's competence.
Great reporting!! Pitiful officials! Thank you Mr Lawrence! I appreciate you! I live in Texas and this horrific situation with all these incompetent lawmakers and law enforcement officers is pathetic!🥵🇺🇸
Thanks Lawrence fir staying on top of this.
You're a remarkable journalist & a real man & I've respected & admired you for many years.
I know I can trust you to get to the bottom of this appalling farce.
We all know there's much more to this & I'm looking forward to seeing the cowardly response exposed in the fullest.
The police proved what cowards they were. They held back the parents and even pepper sprayed one father. A mom who they had handcuffed talked them into letting her go ran in and rescued her own children.
I’m sorry but look at who these people actually are. These cops aren’t going to die for Latino kids, plain and simple.

it seems to be the norm for law enfrcement to stand outside hearing children getting killed . this is one part that needs fixxed- better trained and maybe hire combat veterans for school security. we have state police that would survey the scene and charge in unarmed when the time was right.kentucky state police.
@@rickmabry6333 or maybe…maybe…more restrictions for obtaining firearms and ammunition?
The Police failed these children !? What failed these children is the ape like stupidity of Americans who insist that they must be allowed to own a weapon specifically designed for killing humans. you don't " hunt " animals with a hand gun or an assault rifle.
There is no Legitimate reason for the average normal citizen to have a hand gun or assault rifle. your laws are stupid , your attitudes towards gun ownership is beyond a joke, and your government is blinded by the pro gun lobbyist money.
What failed these Children is the American people ! Don't blame this on the Police, when you are the ones who can't sleep at night without a gun under your pillow. Thank god I live in a country that isn't so god dammed stupid (Australia). We don't need "Better security in schools " because our citizens can't go buy assault rifles on their 18th Birthday.
The Police didn't fail these Kids ...... you the people did !
@@rschloch Right? Maybe, just maybe, we should have waiting periods while background checks are run and ban AR 15s.
Hope she sues n wins..
The problem is people are demanding that those responsible get fired instead of going to prison!
Thank you Lawrence for your dissecting of Abbott's lie in Texas Shooting!! I'm nauseous!!
Can you imagine a black teacher on her way to work getting stopped for a broken taillight and telling the officer, "I'm carrying because I need to keep my students safe". We know what the outcome would be
Especially if the teacher was a young black man. And if he preferred a more casual style because he didn’t feel the need to defy stereotypes to prove himself. Then your teacher being stopped by police would be a young black man in a hoodie with a gun driving to a school, to teach math and science.
Imagine that teacher in the school. The cops likely would’ve killed them.
@@realrealwarpet "No no no! I'm the teach---- ". "GUN GUN GUN GUN! " #@!!*"$#@"!!! SMOKED!!
You don’t need to tell an officer if you’re carrying a gun. It’s only common courtesy to let them know but you don’t have to under law.
Eddiiiieeeeee, I want to talk to you!
I am an American woman now! 🤣
Hearing that it took over an hour to figure out what to do is just gut wrenching.... To save innocent children.
It is very sad
They didn’t figure out what to do. The officers just waited for someone else to take care of it. And eventually someone did.
They knew exactly what to do, just like the parents did that the cops kept from also going in and shooting the killer.
An hour to children feels like a week, poor little kids.
It's absolutely infuriating‼️🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

@@unknownalien3837 not really surprised - typical Republican... But that the police were so utterly incompetent is truly terrible. But then of course - the police in USA are poorly educated...
First of all these school shootings are a direct result of Biden's 1990 crime bill. Do you know what a gun free zone is? Only police officers and federal agents can step in that zone with a gun. It's the reason why none of these schools can higher armed security to protect the children. School teachers, principles can't have a gun on campus to combat active shooters. They can be charged federally. Biden literally made the schools a death trap for our kids. Biden is the reason all of these school shootings are happening!
Well thats Greg Abbott
I trust and appreciate your analysis of what occurred during the school shooting. Thank you, Mr. O'Donnell.
Sweet Mijito May God comfort you and your friends involved in this awful event. You all will be the megaphone for changes that are needed.
None of the children had ever gone through this before either. But they called 911 and kept calling believing they would be saved. Parents who had never gone thru this before had also offered to go in. That is what courage looks like.
Failure of the police cannot be blamed on the fact that they have never gone thru this before or are human. This is total, undeniable incompetence.

Mass shootings are a Republican policy choice
I can't understand why people vote for these same senators and governors over and over when they do absolutely nothing but blame others for what they should be doing
NRA money is to powerful
Because they represent the majority of hateful people in Texas that hate the people coming across the border searching for a better life
but they love Trump and their guns and more guns
It’s time to take Texas back from the crazies - Cruz, Abbott and the rest of the Trumpets.
Never gonna happen. We know who's fault this really is. The people pumping these kids with anxiety meds and trying to keep them from going to schools
Exactly!
Amen and all the cowboys playing along
or have bullet proof vest and shields stored in schools
Wish so but they've gerrymandered the crap out of it
The problem is,,it's cops that are old are and want an easy retirement job,,,it's happening all over the USA....then when something like this happens,they do not do anything to help because they never should have had the job to begin with....
Well done Lawrence you always break things down where people hopefully can grab and grasp what's really going on and not be snowed by the Greg Abbott's of the world or the Donald Trump's who are totally stupid and the Kevin McCarthy's who are so easily manipulated!
Anne Fischer lol
This investigation is so serious it should be taken out of the state's hands!
DOJ needs to open an investigation
The democrats have demanded the FBI and DOJ investigate.
But it won't because they need to lie and who is going to stop them? The incompetent democrats? Well figure it out.
This was a heart stopping circus. Those poor babies. In there for an hour with a mass murder. Had it not been for the parent's video taping what really happened they would have continued their lies.
Poor babies. And poor parents, I cannot imagine the anguish & anger at the trained officers for not doing anything to help their kids.
Every time you turn around nowadays, it's regular folks exposing what REALLY happened. We have to stop expecting cowards with ulterior motives to do the right thing, even when it comes to documenting and reporting truth. WE WILL SAVE US.
Yes Texas style. Lies and cover up
It was a circus, the party of law and order sure doesn't know how to administrate it. The shootings were bad enough but this travesty of a response is insult added to injury.
@@audreymuzingo933 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Where are the authorities that investigate these crimes?
So Greg Abbott thinks that the little witness who was inside the classroom with the gunman inside is lying?
“And when I saw the bullets on the floor, it was real.”
The tears don’t stop.
bro, you probably aren't even crying and just made this comment to give attention, you literally just commented this and then forget next day and continue your life
This what happens when the leftist Marx's teachers union get ahold of your children's brain
@@WrestleLuxury WTF is wrong with you?! Jesus.
This was a sit up a fool can see they were all involved. That lil boy gon expose them. He need 24hr security.
@@WrestleLuxury sis, level up.
Whoever told the kids to call for help before the threat was killed needs to be named. They all need to be named.
The unarmed, untrained parents would have been more help.
Body cams...
Pure evil will not be deterred by any, and all, number of “laws”. Criminals, ( even more so pure evil criminals), don’t abide by no laws. Not the gun. Never has been, never will be.
Then why bother with any laws? Also, it's demonstrably false when you look at Europe, Canada, Oceania.
You know it makes sense for a gun lobbyist to argue in favour of gun loopholes to protect their bottom line, but an average Joe like you will get zero benefits from it and in fact now have a worst off, more dangerous community where kids live in fear on a daily basis.
It's hilarious when people argue against their own interests without even getting paid. At least coal minors get paid to have black lungs.
All I can say Lawrence is that you hit the nail on the head.
It seems to me that the average American and quite clearly the news media have no idea how utterly incompetent the average law officer is. The selection process is poor, the training is poor, and the leadership is poor and often more political than professional. The average small town law enforcement officer is rarely competent to do anything more difficult than a traffic stop or an accident report. There are, of course, exceptions to this but they are exceptions, not the norm.
👏👏👏👏 i been screaming this. Civilians do not understand what training is. They think cops have military grade training. Being a small town makes it worse bc they lack the real world training. I worked a lt a jail and its the same dynamic. People think we superheroes
it aint about the cops -it's about our system compared to otehrs that cleaned up their bs after ONE mass shooting-and the bigots in our country who sent me bs saying it's the 'colored persons=s fault-not the guns"
Most police are middle school dropouts. The washout bullies that were smart enough to avoid jail by getting badges so they could keep being gradeschool bullies.
Barney Fife would have been more of a cop than any of those clowns.
"have no idea...." are heavy words. The broad culture is to put them on pedestals, but, oh my. We should be more coercive to get every citizen to sit on a criminal trial jury, (humble opinion). God bless'm, citizens who get dragged into doing that duty are capable of getting past such a load of assumptions about police credibility, for starters. This Uvalde horror has strong overtones of the knee-jerk,
boiler-plate cover-up that is part of the norm you call out.
That little boy who was smart enough to hide under the table and whisper to his friend to stay with him - and remain silent, saved more lives than all of these "trained" law enforcement officers. He is a HERO.
That little boy likely has a long journey for healing. I cannot imagine the pain he and his friend are feeling.
100%
That little boy should have never been placed in that situation when "trained" law enforcement "professionals" were on the scene.
@@sarahelizabeth7638 Unfortunately, there is a huge risk he'll never fully recover. I can't imagine the PTSD and mental scarring things like this will bring. I'm not American, and I feel terrified that American kids have to live with the fear of and train for the event of a mass shooter coming in to school. I remember we had fire drills; that someone would come to school with a firearm didn't even cross our minds. Kids shouldn't have to be prepared to protect themselves against mass murderers. The sickness and rot in America starts right there.
@@oliver_twistor there are many issues that this country is experiencing. All that we can do is to work towards creating a safer environment in our own community at a local level. That means being very involved in politics at some level, doing fundraising, finding resources and tools and building systems that are more effective. We know that PTSD can be helped; even if we cannot completely eliminate the trauma. I do hope that these children and others will receive the help they need.
My God these are the last words that this baby heard before he started shooting. This little boy will forever be traumatized by this and will never forget that day of so many of his classmates and friends being killed. I pray 🙏 for healing upon the survival children. He was a coward and I pray that justice will be served rightfully upon his life then God 🙏 will do the rest.
As my mother used to say "Good for nothing" Standing outside waiting .... waiting for what?
I can't even begin to imagine the horror these little kids and those teachers felt. If that doesn't make you sick than you are very sick. Seriously you need therapy. And probably a soul.
HORRIFIC
You can’t do anything except vote for the party who will push for sensible gun laws. Why are we allowing AK-47 machine guns on our streets?
@Dot King um yeah my reaction is such because my own son is 10 and my daughter's were literally miles away when Sandy Hook happened. So. NO. My reaction isn't abnormal. Thanks. Empathy. It's actually an existing trait in those that ....checks notes...call ourselves human.
Keep allowing the teachers union to spew hatred towards America, brainwashing and indoctrinating your children into Marxism, if you like what you see vote Democrat
Can you imagine what images that go through the minds of each parent who lost a child over and over and over and..😢
Such a brave boy. Glad he was able to tell his story while still fresh on his mind.
It breaks my heart to realize that child will live with that trauma for the rest of his life.
@Hector In TX? No, all the school will do is offer Jesus.
I'm afraid it's going to be "fresh on his mind" for the rest of his life. I'm so grateful he survived, and hope he can find a way to live with it that doesn't hurt him and all around him.
@@elizamccroskey1708 the problem is survival is not living.
FRESH??? Families should watch their children in the future for behaviors.
THANK YOU for reporting the Real Story.THE TRUTH
anyone wanna talk about how dude bought 6 grand worth of guns and ammo while living with grandma and working at Wendy's? And what's up with the video footage of the purchases? All gun stores have cameras, and how about them receipts?
Imagine all of those “ARMED” police afraid to face another person who is armed.
and then keep that in mind when they say Untrained Teachers should be armed to take care of the shooter themselves.
@Cats Eye 100
The cops do say when they shoot POC 'i was afraid for my life' but did nothing to protect those little innocent children. So they weren't afraid, just COWARDS of another kind. Just like when they shoot unarmed POC..
Since cops have no duty to intervene and can literally watch you get stabbed, this crap will continue to happen. We need a federal law that defines the duties of the police clearly, and we need to make it clear that they MUST , within tactical reason, engage these folks ASAP. Gun control wont stop these guys, they will just come strapped with explosives. So lets skip the gun control rhetoric, because yeah a good guy with a gun would have been able to do a world of good here, its just all the folks with guns werent good. The shooter wasnt, and the cops werent. There inaction needs to be addressed by FEDERAL law.
@@bobbertbobby3975 Who has ever claimed that "untrained" teachers should be asked to carry? Just because they are not a cop does not equate to them being untrained.
6 full grown men, trained, armed, equipped v 1 boy. So much for the "good guy with a gun" BS.
Why would anyone ask the people inside a “hostage” situation to call out “help”?
That just doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s OBVIOUS the people inside need HELP‼️
Well, the children weren't Caucasian.
Because you barely need a GED to be a cop. They are stupid AF and their stupidity is only matched by their cowardice.
Sounds like an accessory to murder...
a well ran republican screw up.
Assuming all the people inside are dead. If they didn't need help, the cops could run away, because they were scare for their life too.
God bless that sweet, brave little boy!!! Give him peace and bless him!!
This makes ne sick to my stomache.
I am literally embarrassed to be a Texan at this point. This is sickening on so many levels.
It's downright evil. I'd be afraid to live there, and afraid of freezing to death this winter. People froze to death, because your governor choses not to be hooked up to the national power grid so a private company can run your utilities. That's evil too. Please vote that guy out of office. Good Luck
Obvious oppression of women? Meh. Executions of innocent and exonerated black men? Not that big a deal. Police incompetence in the face of a school shooting? That's just a bit too messed up.
If you're only NOW embarrassed to be Texan... You clearly haven't been paying attention...
Then gtfo. We don't need you. Go away...
Has NOTHING to do with being TEXAN.....Get real!!!
@@LEGENDARYARSENAL shiiiid
Thats the saddest story, I ever heard. A girl cries out for help, and gets killed. Im heartbroken.
I have goosebumps all over my body. What has become of this world.....
I know -!!!!!’ 💔
I'm sorry to say this but that sounds like a set up. And pushing the parents away from the school.... It actually sounds like the police supported the shooter.
@@leoniedejong9549 same !!! Goose bumps 💔
Thanks NRA!!!
If teachers start to carry guns inside of schools. . . imagine the likelihood of an accidental student shooting or an angry student taking the gun away from the teacher. It’s a very VERY bad idea. I use to teach at a public high school, and I personally would have been afraid to work with a couple male teachers, who were low-key crazy, if they were allowed to have guns on campus. There have been incidents in the media of altercations between students and teacher. Imagine a teacher shooting a student and claiming self-defense. Total nightmare!
There’s no evidence of them saving other children because they didn’t save any. Cowards and Liars Is what they are. For sure. Abbot and all his cover up partners in crime should be relieved from their positions; for trying to cover this up as well as their incompetence.. ALL of them
