UPDATE : Mike will be doing a follow-up video TODAY as he's received new information regarding the shooting from a federal agency supervisor. The facts are disturbing. The level of cowardice and incompetence displayed keeps getting worse. Something needs to change. Stay tuned.
Just to give you a heads up, the doors could not be locked from the inside of the classroom, only way to lock it is on the outside of the door. Also the door he walking into was never able to lock because the door bolt was drilled wrong and would not engage. A complaint was made about this weeks ago but never addressed.
I would love to see a poll taken by first responders showing how many would stand down given the order knowing their children and wives were present in the classroom with them being a hallway distance away, the reaction is not normal. Anyone I know would run through a fucking wall to protect their children, and I have no military and or law enforcement background, and I'm not posturing. One of my sole duties as a parent is to protect my children. The sole responsibility of law enforcement is to protect and serve the public, I dont give two shits about an officers safety when something like this happens.
A mom, working in nearby fields, jumps in her car, speeds to her kids school, is pushed back, then handcuffed, jumps a fence, races into the school, goes to 2 classrooms to get her children, ends up also, getting an entire classroom to safety! Now that's a hero!
I'm a former Marine turned Schoolteacher. It frustrates me: there are weeks I don't even have enough pencils for my students. These police had ballistic shields, body armor, more than enough ammo, and yet they couldn't save the children? Useless.
@@Venom24213 shouldn't have to. We paid taxes for safety, for our freedoms to be secured. We need a tax refund at the minimum, but honestly we need a redress of grievances. Anyone who disagrees is an enabler, a traitor - a redcoat.
@@Venom24213 I teach where the school board just passed a regulation where we can't conceal carry while on the job. Jokes on them, I'm doing what's best for me and my students... 🤫
@@chilldudie242 Sorry but we aren't paying taxes for protection, at least not OUR protection. We are paying for people to conduct traffic stops, fill out forms AFTER a crime has happened, and provide armed protection for our political overlords.
@@hardnewstakenharder Be careful because if they find you with a firearm they will fire you revoke your teaching license and press charges on you. I understand you’re trying to do the right thing. Word to the wise that’s all I’m saying.
My man these cops were NOT defunded. Their agency’s budget was half of the city’s ENTIRE budget. Just pure cowardice on display. Not only that, but they are stalking and harassing the one mom who actually had the balls to go in there and save her kid. They’re terrorizing that mom
Absolutely true the problem isn't "defunding" the police. The problem is that those funds are going towards buying equipment rather than towards training because what good is equipment if you arnt trained for the equipment or if your police force is to cowardly to actually use the equipment
I remember Bill Guarnere said in an interview: "You aren't scared in combat. You really aren't. It's all auto-pilot. Your training kicks in. You have an incredible focus and the idea you could be hurt doesn't ever come into your head. It's not until you are sacked out later that night that you get scared, realizing what could have happened. But that's OK."
..and that's why you train. You train so all the minutia becomes automatic (as you said) and it frees your mind up to think about tactics and execution instead of fundamentals and mechanics
Mike is correct, of course… Everyone thinks they can operate until SHTF… and they panic because they’ve had no training… and I constantly tell people as a firearms and self defense instructor is… “train, train, and train” and very very few actually do it. Shooting a few boxes of cartridges a couple times a year won’t cut it, folks ~ God Be With Us All🙏🏻🇺🇸
Don't forget that the POLITICIANS who placed these cops at those jobs must also be held legally responsible for this massacre. The senators and the Governor also need to be FIRED. The cops are just a mirror image of their LEADERS. Dont forget!
2007 Navy Seal, Mike Day entered a house in Iraq leading point. He was shot 27 times, killed 4 terrorist and walked out. All these cops encounter an untrained 18 year old and run or won't engage. Not all men are equal. These have no courage. There were untrained parents wanting to engage. IMO - these cops should do the surviving families a favor and leave town. I greatly appreciate your explanation and passion through the timeline.
Exactly, as I stated in another post. The Supreme Court has ruled many times that Law Enforcement has NO duty to protect you unless you are in their custody. For those reading, Don’t take my word for it. Look it up for yourselves. Search for, Supreme Court has ruled Law Enforcement has no duty to protect citizens. This is why the second amendment is the most important amendment in our constitution. Gun control isn’t about protecting lives. It’s about controlling the people. Only the individual is responsible for protecting your own life. Not the government.
Jackie Cazares was shot near her heart, was still alive when the cops breached the room she died on her way or at the hospital. Her dad a former Marine said she fought hard to stay alive in that classroom with the gun man for over an hour. She was 9 years old at the time of her death.
Had the police not been cowards and gone in right away, she might still be alive. Instead they waited over an hour for just the right conditions to ensure none of them were at risk of getting injured.
I'm a retired Sheriff- I served multiple roles including SWAT, ERG, Detective, Supervisor, Instructor, FTO, FTO Supervisor, and Rangemaster. I can tell you that these guys are a flaming disgrace. Columbine was the turning point when "Set-up a perimeter and wait for SWAT" turned into, "Even if you are by yourself, you *immediately* go in with what you have at hand and handle business- even if it means you know there's a good possibility you could get shot or killed doing so." There's ∅ excuse. These "officers" are tarnish on the badge.
Everything you said was spot on! The days of wait for back up are over during active shooter. If you are a sole officer, guess what??? Tag you are it. You put your ass in that building and go towards the gunfire.
Exactly. After Columbine the training immediately became go straight in and do work. We were even trained to bypass wounded officers until the shooter is dead. Nothing else matters.
That sounds like a fear from doubt of your own capabilities! It starts from within! Only you can make the decision to protect and defend at all costs. I suggest as he suggests in the video that you go out and train on your own, with instruction coming from an accredited individual. Please at all cost don’t seek training from these civilian firing range tactical rangers that’s received incompetent training themselves, they will get you killed and not be able to return home to your loved ones after your shift. I commend you for having the courage to put on a badge, but always remember why you have that badge, To protect and serve your community above personal concerns.
@Darrius 414 how did they get injured by flying debris from gunfire if they were just hanging around doing nothing? What would you have done run through the door and got shot... be the first dead man in the doorway
100%. I worked for a large municipal fire dept. for 25 years, and NOT ONCE did I see or hear a colleague suggest that we do nothing or that someone else has to do something “for our safety”. I thought I was going to die a couple times; and I’m not brave or noble, but they say “courage is the fear of being thought a coward”. In other words, you don’t back down in front of your buddies, and you put life and property at risk when you don’t act. They train you to act. Every fireman and every cop should know that you earn your twenty years of pay in a few hours over a couple days. You know that a day will come when you will be expected to put yourself in harm’s way. This is why you get paid fairly well. We had division level training with the cops for school shooter scenarios, and the absolute name of the game in those situations is to locate and neutralize the shooter as fast as possible, PERIOD. They always tell you in training that you want to go home in one piece, but it isn’t the absolute focused goal of everything you do. It’s a component of risk assessment. Some fires are not going to be interior attacks, they are going to be surround-and-drown, but NO fire is a sit-there-and-do-nothing. These chickenshit cops, sitting there in the hallway with their training and riot shields and body-armor bristling with weapons and doing NOTHING for an hour and a half should ALL be fired. Retirements yanked. FUCK each and every one of these cowards. Cops these days are forever whining about “my safety”, taking eighty year old women to the ground, violating rights, handcuffing people with no reasonable suspicion, pulling weapons on people with their hands in their pockets, bullying everyone they meet “for my safety”. You know what, Officer? FUCK your safety. You want to be safe? Go sell insurance.
Cops don’t get paid FAIRLY well, some are out there making a quarter of a million a year, they make more than soldiers who are literally in a war zone, I know 25 yr old crackheads that are braver than any cop I’ve ever met
I remember I had a professor who would ramble on about how armed citizens do worse in an active shooter than the police. Apparently a 22 year old citizen did better than a police department and multiple federal agencies
@@stickyblicky11 I’m assuming op is talking about what just happened in Greenwood, Indiana. A 20 year old went into the Greenwood Mall and started a mass shooting the 22 year old who was thankfully armed at the time was able to kill the shooter within 2 minutes of the first shot being fired. I wouldn’t say he “did better” because to me that makes it sound like it’s some f***ed up competition when it was just a man doing what needed to be done before the police could arrive.
@@stickyblicky11 There was another attempted mass shooting a day or so ago. The suspect killed 4 people I believe and was ended by a 22 year old who took the initiative.
These officers were real tough guys with the unarmed parents out front, throwing parents to the ground and arresting them because they were trying to go in to get their children. It's so pathetic, it makes me literally sick to my stomach.
It's shit like that, that gives credibility to conspiracy nuts that say the shooter was some MK Ultra sleeper and the cops purposely sealed off the area.
@@RAAM855 definitely a setup Paid mall shooter got clapped dead by armed citizen and the media is mad that ccw saved lives. Then not a day after we have the security guard for law and order show murdered. Leftist mall shooting failed and had to make up Gun laws and election Yea it's definitely setups by the left
@@RAAM855 I'm not a conspiracy theorist but makes u wonder if it is though and gets u thinking I'd much rather believe a conspiracy theorist than media or the left
Yeah bro. The police response on this one bothers me as much as the rampage killer. 400 officers and it still took them well over an hour to do anything at all while people were suffering. The worst part is that the officers aren't even being honest. None of them came out and said "yeah maybe we screwed up in this one" there was police agencies across the nation frantically telling their men not to stand around and to go in and shoot the killer even if they die trying. When other police jurisdictions are using your jurisdiction as an example of what not to do, by that time its time to start being honest and admitting 1 hour and 40 minutes to take out an untrained killer while they're geared up for war and standing around doing nothing, that's not right.
Excellent breakdown. I would say this was 100% cowardice. “Radical leftists” didn’t defund the Uvalde police department. The department makes up 40% of the city’s budget and the department has trained repeatedly for active shooters, including a drill this past March.
Glad someone said it. I've lived in TX all my life, and am in the area. Very few PDs were defunded in this state, I'm not sure why he keeps pushing that narrative.
Thank you! I don’t think anywhere has really been defunded by “leftists.” I think Mike’s anger is 100% on point but also found that to be a pretty weak argument. Maybe they can stop buying MRAPs and Bearcats and actually focus on training…
Police nowadays have every asset at their disposal. Training or equipment are not the issue modern policing emphasises arrest numbers, drug busts and revenue raising through tickets and misdemeanor arrests. The time of police being people that are looked up to has come and gone now cops are just government employees that consider the well being of citizens last if at all. The police of my father's day and age are gone, the police of my generation are focused on the war on drugs and creating revenue not civil service or protecting Constitutional Rights. That's the reason public trust in the police is at the lowest it's ever been since polling on this issue began over 25 years ago.
I think he’s right that the leftist defund movement did put fear in officers. The mere fact the very first guy before he entered the school had him in his sights and asked permission to shoot several times as a gunman with a rifle who had already fired at people walks TOWARDS A SCHOOL. The defund/blm culture or the Ferguson effect probably played a role. But maybe not in the actual funds in this situation, though who knows. But one thing is for sure they NEED to prioritize training over equipment. Why not pay for every 10 days on the job you need to train something 1 day. Hell maybe even 1 for every 5. Train shooting, descalation, Spanish, active shooter, jiu jitsu whatever the fuck. They can’t just take a training every few years and call it a day. And if they train a lot for this and still fucked it up that bad then yeah. Pure cowardice.
I honestly feel like one of the biggest cowards was the officer who's wife died. He was LITERALLY steps away from her room as she was being gunned down and he did nothing. And it was all caught on camera. I don't know how the hell he can live with himself.
I wouldn't be able to live with myself had that been me. I rather die trying to save my wife than be viewed as a coward for the rest of my life. Too sad
Well if you look at the video he was making his way there he pushed to the front and his superiors told him to stand down they will get her . They physically held him back
@@akllls617 he was not in a hurry to get inside either. he came walking, " hu my wife was shot.. " They didn't held him back. He turned around like the rest of this bunch
An unarmed mother not trained jumped into the school to rescue her child while the shooter was active. It’s not about training only. Its about valor, courage and giving your life to safe others. Thanks for sharing this his video and may God bless every Angel soul sitting next to him right now.
If they would of gave some of those unarmed mothers a rifle I can guarantee that shooter would of been dead 3 minutes after he entered the school. They would of gotten him.
It should be noted that she helped get one entire classroom (including 1 of her children) out of the school before going back and getting her other son and another child out. For her bravery she is being harassed by the police including phone calls, marked vehicles outside her home flashing their lights and threats of arrest for interfering with an active shooter situation.
@@timberry4709 sad my brother. Sad to see this is the sick world we live in. Mother saves children’s lives and the government instead of supporting her is giving that mother heat.
It's not the training so much as it is the mentality. The mentality being "I get to go home tonight no matter what". As a US Marine it was drilled into our minds "The mission comes first and your life comes second". "We will accomplish the mission no matter the cost and if necessary we will bury you with honors".
They wanna be "Don't disrespect me punk, i'm the guy thin blue line between you and chaos" until chaos shows up.. and now that chaos is gone they're back to " don't disrespect me, punk"
@@ashfox7498 Wait til the thin blue line becomes just part of the chaos, behaving like a well-equipped gang funded with public money. Why, they could even have their own identifying tattoos and a wild contempt for the rule of law. Oh wait...
It's been a year and I'm still mad about this. The cops lack of action is still one of the most disgusting lack of cowardice I've ever seen in my life. I'm still young. I hope it doesn't get worse from here.
I was denied a career in Law Enforcement because after my testing the Psychiatrist said "You have a risk taking personality." So I became a Force Recon Marine and now an Attack Helicopter Pilot. I'm thinking families all over Uvalde (and across the nation) are wishing they had some risk takers with badges...JMHO
And this is why they have these guys instead of officers who are capable of functioning during these kinds of situations. Made a comment as such in this section. Had cowards scared of sim rounds in training. Literally loosing their dang minds for simunition rounds.
As a new DCS apache pilot I commend your courage to drive a murder brick that wants to drill into the ground infinitely more than it wants to fly. I think you have one of the coolest jobs in the military. I need anti- tourqe pedals. Desperately
Tbh more military veterans should become law enforcement. Y’all have the best training in the world and I would feel a lot better knowing you’re in the streets than someone that wants that position just for power or notoriety.
It shouldn’t be “Do us a favor…” It should be “ Everyone one of you is fired for conduct unbecoming, cowardice and failure to perform your sworn duties”
This video is a horrible review. It is completely ignorant of facts. Two key facts: (1) command called this in as a barricaded subject, instead of active shooter. (2) by the time the cops arrived NO children were screaming. The individual cops didn't do anything wrong. It was the police force at large that screwed up royally. Upper command called the situation a barricaded subject, which means that the suspect is contained and no children are around or in danger of imminent harm. This was a horrendously wrong call and the police department must be held accountable. This was not a barricaded subject, but an active shooter. Moreover, there were no children screaming that could be heard by anyone in the building by the time the officers arrived. The idea that kids were screaming and officers stood by is completely false. When the suspect is declared a barricaded subject, officers are told to hold their ground and not move in until reinforcements and better equipment arrive. When the officers don't hear any children screaming in the halls they have no reason to question their command. If you want better training, fine. But it's not the individual officer's fault some idiot called down the wrong order and this was not declared an active shooter situation. The police department must be held accountable, but not the individual officers who were doing their job as a reasonable officer would do and had no reason to question their command because no kids were screaming (this is what ignorant people who don't do their research are telling you).
no they should be brought up on charges for capital murder for each one of those that were killed for not doing there jobs,and if Vets. were the security that ass whole would have never made in the building
@@karlreinke Exactly! Fuck what command says and do what is right. It's not hard to tell what that is in this situation. It never should have gotten to a point where command had a say anyway. Cops get shot at, they return fire. Simple as that.
Mike, I just watched your video again on Uvalde. I’m so glad you speak your truth. I worked for a agency here in Fl and it is beyond my comprehension to watch the lack of action by the officers. It is a shame, a tragedy and the utmost cowardice attempt to save the lives of children! Thank you once again for all you do. Thank you for your service.
Not the entire department. Maybe you and I watched a different video. That older gentleman lead the way, was grazed, and went back. And he did it with no support. If all were like him, the shooter would have been put down quickly.
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ If someone is actively in the process and injuring/killing people the primary job in an active shooter scenario is to stop that person. The first strike team in is to find and engage the primary target and the secondary, and tertiary teams assist the first team if necessary or complete the additional tasks needed.
I'm also crying for the old officer. I see he wants to do something, he's ready to go back in, he signals for officers to follow him, he's the only that goes down that hallway. It's really disheartening.
I'm a Texan...This is the first time anyone has been this brutally honest about what we already suspected! Thank you for being man enough to lay it on the line!!!
It is what it is. These guys can get mad all they want he called them cowards. Because the video we all just watched that's all I seen was a bunch of cowards. How they can continue to go to work as a cop every day is beyond me. I wonder what they say to their friends and family I know they have a friend or family member that asked why the fuck didn't you rush that pos.
I just want to say. This event and this video are primary reasons i quit my job and started at the police Academy 8 months ago. Non-sponsored but motivated, currently re-watching this before active shooter training this week.
Well, welcome to the shitty incompetent institution of policing. Where your shitty incompetent colleagues are going to be protected instead of taking the heavy responsibility that comes with the badge. Wish you good luck
It falls heavily more towards cowardice than training. A mom, that probably never spent a day at an academy, who isn't a "SWAT operator", who doesn't have all the high-speed gear, went in to gets her kids despite all the chaos & lack of intestinal fortitude from multiple "men" already there. That mom has more balls than multiple SWAT teams put together. It's about heart in the end.
Yeah man gotta agree. I signed up with a war popping off, I knew what it meant, with no fucks giving and i don't understand them standing there. I do believe training those matter though and even fitness cause it all matters in that moment.
When I first heard this, I didn't believe it. Because I never believe nothing I hear and half of what I see. Then a day later I saw it on the News. You do know she had to talk her way out of handcuffs in order to do what she did. Those cowards handcuffed her because she wanted to go in and save her children.
You know now! The police, are currently, harassing that woman big time! They are try to trump up charges against her! Those police might not be fired at all, cause they are police!
As a former city cop and now retired Army, I have been saying this for years... If you are constantly "in fear for your life", you are in the wrong job and you should turn in your badge... I am so sick of that excuse... "I was in fear for my life"... Cmon Man, you wear a gun and badge for a reason... SMDH
I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with being afraid or in for your life, especially as a law enforcement officer or trained warfighter, HOWEVER in both of those situations I don't think that excuses lack of action. When you take the job you sign up for be in scary, dangerous, and potentially lethal situations. I have read plenty of stories where cops were fucking horrified while still quickly, cleanly, and safely dispatching armed threats before they can wreck havoc. We shouldn't say people can't or shouldn't be afraid for their lives, we need to say that it's their job to act regardless.
There is nothing wrong with being in fear of your life. But true bravery is doing what needs to be done in spite of your fear. And unfortunately there was no bravery that day.
I live in texas please don't use "defunded police" We haven't defunded police as a matter of fact we tripled the $$ we give to the police the last 4 years. Its important because it paints an accurate picture -- we are pro-police this had ZERO to do with police it having enough funding. This has to do with ineffective and incompetent policing . Which is only made worse knowing there were almost 400 officers in the area hearing children scream for help just standing there and ALL still have their jobs they trained two months prior to this shooting. To have the Police Chief tell his men not to engage to stay protected is outrageous. Kids go back t0 school in 9 days and not one officer has lost their job. This goes way beyond police funding
This is exactly why we should defund the police. You tripled the money given to them and they still did absolutely nothing. What a waste of taxpayer funds
I'm a 25 year Law Enforcement officer and I CANNOT TELL YOU how much I LOVE this video! I'm going to present this to my Sheriff and ask that all officers watch it. I certainly don't need to tell you that are so right in your analysis. i would love our officers to be able to train under you.
Some shit like Uvalde happens, you better have some fuckin balls, Gary. There’s people counting on you. Don’t let them down, bro. Keep those kids safe.
I’m a Custodian at an elementary school when I was hired as Supervisor/Custodian I introduced myself to the parents and staff, I gave my name and improvements I will do at this school. My last statement was “I will protect your children and staff to the fullest extent of my life”. I meant that.
Dude if you were a soldier then know your political views have nothing to do with doing your duty! You should also know that talking shit doesn't win fights!
You, an expert with all the information and experience, have changed my perspective on this entire event. Having only gleaned info from the media coverage I had the impression that the officers had done the right thing but there MIGHT have been some systemic issues with the training and response. The mainstream media isn't just untrustworthy. It's actually become counter-trustworthy, meaning that I'm going to have to assume they are twisting the facts of TRAGEDIES like this to serve their own ends. I have nothing but the utmost respect and genuine heartfelt gratitude for you and everyone like you. I'm just a truck driver with zero training, but as a father of an elementary school age daughter, I KNOW I'd smash through any barrier and smoke that POS as quickly as possible. I pray I never have to prove that, but I can't even IMAGINE standing down the hall picking my ass while kids are getting shot and fighting for their lives. Imagine what those kids are thinking..."My friends are dying! My teachers are dying! The police are here...why don't they come save us!?" ASTOUNDINGLY SHAMEFUL performance. And I'm absolutely with you on bringing charges down on the chief.
Don’t be so quick to think this dude knows what he’s talking about or is telling the truth either. He blames the event on the defunding of the police, which never happened.
I'm a retired high risk entry team commander. We trained to enter rooms while taking fire. The first three officers were there in around 3 minutes. When they took fire, they retreated and quit. This not only showed a lack of training but a supreme lack of guts. I'm without further words.
Same here. I have thousands of high risk entries as a drug agent. We had two types of entries we prepared for, that we called, "The Snake" and "The Flood". The Snake was very organized, a medium speed entry, where you didn't pass up uncleared doors or areas and if you met significant resistance, you stopped and re-assessed. The Flood, was for one thing, and one thing only, undercover agent rescue (usually an active shooter situation). And, in The Flood, you hauled ass to the shooter, flooding through the house or structure to locate him and the undercover agent, and you didn't take your time, and you kept going until you found them and the undercover was rescued and the shooter taken care of. And, at that point, and that point only, you started worrying about wounded agents who got hit on the entry. That type of entry can be a gut check. But, you need to do that before that day, not while standing outside a room full of kids (or an undercover agent, for us) being murdered.
Like YOU would have gone in with those other 2 clowns lol, that kid would have KILLED you, if you had gone barging in there…it’s not called the “fatal funnel” for no reason bro!
@@Chihuahuauno1 this is comically false. Just because there’s a fatal funnel present in an active shooter situation, does not mean that the shooter has his gun trained on the door in anticipation for the LEO response, especially not within a few minutes of him making entry. The shooter is busy killing people, and he doesn’t have eyes behind his head. Further, is a LEO trained in marksmanship and stress shooting going to really be outgunned by some 18 year old kid who literally just bought a gun? Be real with yourself. Sure, there’s officers out there who suck ass, but let’s be honest with ourselves. Violence of action would have ended this almost immediately. You clearly have no idea about active shooter response and I would suggest that you stop trying to correct people who have had years of experience in this kind of thing, otherwise, you can go walk into traffic yourself for being a scumbag.
Im not an emotional type, but when Mike said to imagine the gunshots taking those young lives, I lost it. Those poor babies. The one institution that children are told they can trust when shit like this happens, failed them in their literal darkest hour. If kids being shot and killed doesn't motivate you, then what the fuck does?
100% agree. We keep hearing cops always saying something like "my number one goal is to make it home alive at the end of my shift" when what they should be saying is "my number one goal is to make sure the innocent make it home alive and second, myself". Not one officer out there ever says this. The scene at the school was pathetic...50 armed officers, all wearing bullet proof vests, all cowards. Every single person there should be terminated and lose all benefits.
These guys were school cops, not city, county or state. ISD Independent School District officers, I'm willing to bet the Chief had his job because of who he was, Not what he knew and in turn set the standard for hiring and training, the buddy system.
@@richardc7721 They have 400 policemen on that school force?! Cause pretty sure they had nearly 400 fucking cowards there from all over the place doing fuck all
Amen. Thank you. It’s so scary that SOOOO MANY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS showed up this incident yet not one person looked like they new a damn thing. Most of these “officers” AKA “protectors” were outside FIGHTING WITH DISTRAUGHT PARENTS IN THE PARKING LOT. When the parents were crying ask asking why they’re not inside saving the children they were telling them that it’s because they’re too busy having to babysit these adults. 🤦🏼♀️ some parents were detained for LITERALLY TRYING TO DO THE COP’S JOBS since they weren’t doing it. One mother in particular LITERALLY RAN INTO THE SCHOOL AND SAVED A BUNCH OF CHILDREN BY SAFELY LEADING THEM OUT OF THE SCHOOL TO SAFETY. and for being THE ONLY TRUE HERO she was then HANDCUFFED AND ARRESTED FOR IT. 🤯🤯🤯
That’s not there job to protect and serve it’s just a saying they use to fool the peasants into thinking they are safe so they can keep going to work for the elites.
As a Retired Police Officer (20 Year Patrol Officer in large city) and US Marine ( 8+ years Active/Reserve in Infantry as 0351) I’m beyond saddened and embarrassed about what happened with Law Enforcement and their total lack of action. Your assessment is 100% accurate. Thank you.
@@bshawwarren1 There becomes a point of protecting life, that you tell your mediator or ranking officer to go fuck themselves. And get in there, your career be damned.
The chief is a liar who doesn't know anything, the officer who didn't shoot when he could have was a fool and a coward, and the officers in the school who didn't enter in the room right after the shooter, all cowards, not officers, not men. We as a nation should be ashamed people like that could ever become an officer of the people.
Sorry about that. My thinking was, how could there be officers in place all ready before the shooting. Makes no sense? Then there would be no shooting?
I'm not defending first the officer who didn't fire but I somewhat understand his hesitation. If he shot and the suspect was a minority or some other protected class then he could expect his life to be over regardless of how justified he was. Imagine if the suspect was a black, gay, and/or transgender, all we would have heard was that cops were hunting down minorities in the streets and "he didn't do nothing to get shot". This officer's life would have been over and there is a good chance the police chief would have thrown him under the bus and he would haveended up in jail. Cops shouldn't ever have to consider that crap, but that is the reality of the US today.
The thing I admire about Mike is that he is real as it gets. His emotions aren't for the clicks, they are because he actually cares about what he's discussing.
"Everyone wants to be an operator till it's time to do operator shit." I know it is an old line, but this one really hits. Looking back on this from a year later, I can confidently say that the failures at Uvalde have had an impact on American policing. Just a few days ago a lone officer who just happened to be in the vicinity of an active shooter in Allen, TX took down someone on his own who was much more prepared and trained than the kid in Uvalde. He ran towards the sounds of gunfire alone and stopped the threat less than 4 minutes after the shooting began while at every disadvantage because he wasn't a coward and he used speed, surprise and violence of action. If you aren't willing to give your life in the service of saving the lives of children, I don't know what else could possibly motivate you. It's unnatural, inhuman.
I thing that the shame that was brought on the Uvlade police department and all cops because of their lack of response has motivated cops around the country. As another example, there was a shooting at Las Vegas University, and 2 *campus police detectives*, without armor, shields, or long guns put him down before Vegas metropolitan police were even set up to respond. They were quick and decisive, and because of that there were only 3 fatalities as opposed to Uvaldes 19.
To be clear these cowards were not defunded, they receive 40% of the city’s budget. No amount of training would’ve made those guys preform, they stood there checking twitter while children bled out.
Since when does an officer facing a deadly threat have to ask for permission to use deadly force? As a career Officer/Training Officer who spent a career training other officers I have never heard this before!! Superb Analysis and 150% accurate in every way!
Cops are getting sued and fired for doing there jobs these days so now so many are afraid to even do the most basic thing.....take the fight to a school shooter......
Since dumbass politicians made it into making law enforcement policies. Oooor, it could have been, he didn't want to to make the decision himself. In which case, he should be fired, and jailed.
Exactly. These clowns are tough guys on the side of the road bossing innocent people around giving them tickets. All of a sudden they're asked to do their job and their balls magically shrivel up.
how does it feel to be a thug and harass citizens and commit armed highway robber each day over arbitrary laws that are inherently despotic by nature of being arbitrary therefore unconstitutional. Whats worse you are one of those turds that trains future turds to keep violating innocent people's rights. Your entire existence and daily job violates peoples inalienable right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness. I don't believe your comment for a single second. There is no such thing as a cop that doesn't violate peoples rights and actually defends citizens. Anyone who actually tries to do that gets immediately fired (Plenty of examples of this happening). Everyone on here sees that you are full of shiit.
I was a cop for 10 years. Around ‘05 or ‘06 we were doing some intense active shooter training, and one of my fellow officers stated and I’ll never, ever forget it, said, “If there’s a Columbine type shooting situation I’m not rushing in the school because according to our union contract, that’s not stipulated or required .” Someone asked, “So you’d just stay outside and listen?”. He replied, “Yep”. We all just looked at him in disgust as we often did. His name is Dave Massey and Yep, he’s still there…..
First thing I thought when I saw this.... is that it seems to be UNDERSTOOD that if an active shooter is in a NON WHITE SCHOOL ...........GIVE THE KILLER TIME TO COMPLETE HIS JOB..........If the killer was WHITE he would have been taken ALIVE .......And the may have even had Donuts ready for him when he came out .
It’s one thing that the law enforcement on scene chose not to engage the shooter for over an hour, but the fact that they stopped parents who would die to save their own kids really hurt to hear about as a new dad myself. I can’t even imagine what those parents being tased or handcuffed for trying to get to their kids while hearing gunshots were going through. I just pray for all the families involved.
Rite? Whole thing makes you appreciate everyday with your family a whole lot more. I appreciate the guys that train civilians even as law enforcement. And don’t give lame enforcement discounts at our jiu jitsu academy. Cause you aren’t better than us is what my instructor says. You aren’t more deserving to protect your life than us. If you don’t like to pay $100 a month. Find another gym with discounts.
As someone who doesn't have kids, It absolutely sickens me, to watch these people, allow innocent kids, to literally bleed out. The fact that they stopped parents, who'd of gladly done their job, to save even one life. These cops need to be punished. Cowardice should not be rewarded.
As a former infantry marine watching this hurts, this could have been handled immediately with 2 competent people with confidence in their training. Complete cowardice and incompetence of responding to a hostage rescue scenario is what happened here. May God be with those children.
More recognition needs to be given to that mother that went in with nothing and got her kids out. Don't EVER underestimate the lengths a loving and devoted mother will go thru for her children.
They should have put a vest on her and let her go to work. If my kids were in that school I'm going in and if they stopped me. I would agree and stop to just find another entry way and if that didn't work I would miss direct them and (say look over there I think I saw something) and just bolt right in as fast as I could. If you are willing to lay your life down for your kids don't you dare hold them back it is a conscious choice of love.
The idea that police have been meaningfully defunded in any way, especially in TX is questionable. This is a bunch of bullies used to ruling over people that got way to comfortable being the big dogs that got exposed for the cowards they are.
Excellent point. The fact that Uvalde hasn't seen rioting after this video was released, that the police station there hasn't been set on fire by parents mourning dead children, indicates it's a strongly pro-law enforcement community.
Mike, thank you for doing this video. My wife and I were both Surgery Chief residents at University Hospital in San Antonio when this happened. We received an “all hands on deck” page as soon as the trauma system was made aware of the shooting. We had every tool we needed, and every available general surgery resident/attending was in our trauma bay ready to do what we are trained to do. We watched the minutes pass on the clock, eventually enough minutes passed when we realized how few survivors there were. Not a day goes by I don’t think about who we could have saved if they had gotten to us. This video must have even extremely difficult to make, thank you.
Thank you and your wife for actually doing your jobs. And caring for these kids and teachers. It’s like a deja vu of 9/11…..everyone was ready and barely anyone came. God bless you both. My heart breaks for you and the staff at your hospital(s). 🙏🏼💜
Couple of things. Uvalde law enforcement agencies didn’t suffer from a lack of funding or training. Quite the contrary, since Uvalde is a border town, it’s receives funding and training support from numerous federal agencies. Uvalde SWAT recently received active shooter training, weeks before this incident. And as you can see, officers from multiple agencies responded, all well equipped. They had the training, resources and equipment to bring this incident to an end, except leadership and moral fucking courage.
His agitation actually lends some credence to why people want them defunded. What are they getting funded for? Didn't they just get done with training a few weeks prior to this? If that guy was selling loose cigarettes then he would have been handled. A few comments in here make the point. Funding has nothing to do with cowardice and just wanting to look the part and not play the part; as he somewhat stated. This situation also brought to light that they don't actually ha e an obligation to serve and protect; that was just a hearts and mind campaign.
And the fact that all across America “officer safety” is a top priority drilled into their heads day in and day out. Despite it not even making the top 10 most dangerous careers in America
@@vaden706 that's the kind of mentality that leads to a man getting shot crawling down a hotel hallway playing Simon says and then the officer getting medically retired and now receiving pension for "PTSD". Among various other cases that come to light. Pretty sure officers are really tired of all the cameras that are out and about nowadays
This was a raw and real breakdown and discussion that needed to be had. As a LEO myself, seeing the surveillance video from inside that school and thinking about those kids being left to be killed broke my heart. Moved me to tears. Not out of only sadness, but 90% out of anger/frustration. Law enforcement failed that day. Failed bad.
It's horrible man, I'm not a LEO but I am a Marine Infantryman. The non action that day caused children's lives to be lost. At a certain point in time, shots being fired, you need to push. I feel like if the older officer at the beginning had 1 or 2 more hard chargers behind him he would have pushed to clear. I'm 36 and that may not be that long of a life but without a doubt I'm pushing and I don't give a fuk if I live as long as I can put a round or 2 into the target or take a bullet for the man behind me to drop the target. On shots turn down the radio, take 3 breaths, clear the mind, move to breach, react to PID, accurate shots on target, kill, disable, disarm, turn radio back up, sit-rep, casualty assessment, render aid. This whole situation makes me extremely angry. Also thank you for your service and stay safe.
You know as well as we do that if there was a Leo being shot in that room they would’ve charged in there with bad intentions. But officer safety propaganda has been drilled into cops heads and they don’t even see children as worth the risk of their own lives. That’s a fact
What should be done to improve hiring/ recruitment/ training? It should be a priority to have good police forces everywhere, and it doesn't seem to be that way.
Imagine in 10 years when those kids that survived start driving in Uvalde and they get pulled over by one of those cops hiding in the hallway. The cop will treat the kid like the bad guy, hand them a fat ticket and walk away feeling like he did his job. They should be fired and barred from any police work in the future. If this was a psych test 99% of them failed.
that part... nobody really talks about the deep disrespect that normal individuals feel due to this "community relation" crap that the cops do..... They send a lobster-faced pink skinned boy in blue to interact with the youths.. and he always chooses someone to pick on.... Wherever he goes his badge declares his valuable service and honor, but when he corners me for a conversation it's mind games and power trip. And then the same cop will be idling at the corner down the street and if I wanna go down that street I know he'll be looking at me... looking at all of us, waiting for another chance to pump up his shriveled power-addicted ego......
Omg, you're so right. And seeing as the feckless police department took 40% of Uvalde's budget, I hope that leaves some funding for mental health services NOW. If not, some of these kids will look to treat their PTSD with drugs- which will lead to MORE policing. I hear they are bullying the mom who ran into the building. God, imagine being one of the parents put in handcuffs while hearing gunshots? I would want to tear apart any officer who dared disrespect me I think the only way for there to be a police department, there needs to be a clean slate. Everyone should be fired. They can reapply and have their performance assessed- this happens in failing school districts. The hiring should be completely transparent, and serving the community must be part of their culture.
Us democrats are NOT Leftists. Just like Conservatives are NOT Right Wing. Just want to put that out there. I completely agree with almost every point that you make, as a Democrat that owns a firearm for home protection and now getting my CCW, for cowards like this all over the US, I applaud this video and respect you for coming forward and calling out each and every one of these "officers". Well stated, great points that are not debatable, and great ideas to make change. As a disabled veteran of four tours in Iraq, and a combat disabled veteran in '08 in Iraq, I believe in, for lack of a better term due to media, "defunding" the police ONLY in regards to needing multiple MRAP's and other over the top tech not needed in some, some communities, and would rather have that money go towards this exact training, these exact weapons for this growing threat, and more combing through of some of these officers who clearly should not be on the job. If you wanted to use this gear all the time to feed your ego, you should have gone into the military and kept that as your career. I also don't completely agree on the point that just because an 18 year old is now considered an adult can they now buy an AR platform as an adult because they can have one in the military. I do not believe these are the same as our young military men that have these weapons are getting great training specific to their weapon and do not have access to it at all times during the normal duty day/night. But they have discipline, understanding, and the mindset that that weapon is a deadly tool. A adult at 18 years old that wait impatiently to buy all the gear as soon as he/she is 18, will never care about proper training and learning about the weapon, but better yet respecting the weapon. UNLESS proper training as a child, under trained adult supervision at all times that the weapon is in use, and in the safe care of trained adult supervision while not at a certified range, then an 18 year old can possess the platform, with continued training until 21. We let alcohol be given to 18 year olds for years, saw the effects with years of studying, and moved the age to the "adult" age of 21 years old. Cigarettes should be the same. I am more than happy to have a discussion, but please don't just start yelling, calling names, or try to flex, I am all for communication and respect. I don't care about your feelings. I am really looking forward to watching more of these videos from this channel!
I think it was Donut Operator that said something along the lines of "when did LEOs in armour start caring about their safety above little kids without it". 'nuff said. That guy at the front nailed it. Sad to see he didn't receive the support he needed to finish the job.
While he at least did something compared to others, he should have just kept going, especially when the shots were fired. But he can get a pass while the rest need to be thrown in jail. Edit: thinking about it, I wonder if someone told him the door was locked. That would explain why he did not fully commit with only the handgun.
When they started militarizing the police and taking away the "Serve and Protect" aspect of "law enforcement", that's when. An overwhelming number of "cops", get into the job for a fat pension and so they can retire early. The vast majority doesn't give 2 shits about the people who pay their check. That's why Gov. entities have the benefits they do, so that way people "follow orders" and use that excuse, because they essentially sold their souls.
People say I don’t know what I would do because I wasn’t there. To them I say I do know because I know me. I would have gone in even if I only had my flipping J Frame on me. Anyone going in would have taken that evil b@$t@rd’$ focus off the kids and would have bought time until the cavalry got there. Didn’t we learn that time is of the essence at Columbine? I’m so angry thinking about all of this.
“Speed, surprise, and violence of action.” Fucking thank you! I can’t say anymore than you did. I was never a CIF/CRF super soldier, but I went through a lot of doors as a SFAUC-trained GB. I’ve observed over the years that LEO training is geared primarily towards self preservation, which is fine for 99% of their job. It’s not in this case. Outside of SWAT and other tactical units they don’t seem to be taught to maneuver aggressively toward the bad guy-take the fight to them. I guess a fear-driven mag dump is a technique, but maybe not the best one. Regardless of their training- how do you sit in the hall and listen to kids being murdered and do nothing? If they go home and don’t swallow a bullet in shame it means they found a way to justify it in their own minds.
No, since columbine cops were taught to move to the shooting and act, even if it’s one cop. They train for this. There is no excuse or explanation for Uvalde. Those cops must stand on their own.
No offense to anyone but you also have to differentiate between a large metropolitan Tactical Team (full time) and some of the smaller “Call Out” or “Secondary Duty” TAC Teams. Going to 3 weeks of Shooter College doesn’t make you a door kicker.
@@RamadiTaxiDriver60M don't need to be a door kicker at all. Just need to do something over NOTHING. They literally did NOTHING. DISGUSTING to even watch. All should be fired except for a small handful of guys.
I agree with about 90% of what you said. While I am not against law enforcement, I am anti-police. I can get behind the sheriff because he is elected, and if we don't like what he is doing, we can eject his ass from office. I retired from the army in 2016. I say this so that it better illuminates what I am about to say. I doubt there will be any criminal charges, and I also don't believe that any civil charges will be brought against them either. The Supreme Court has already ruled that police are under no obligation to risk their life for you or yours. Qualified immunity also protects public officials from prosecution for incidents occurring within the performance and scope of their duties. This means that if a cop shoots at a bad guy and kills your daughter because he missed, he is not legally liable. If we are going to arm our police and treat them like soldiers, they should be held accountable in exactly the same way. Until then, back the blue until it happens to you. The only one you can count on protecting you, is you. That is all, huah.
Supreme court has ruled that law enforcement have no legal obligation or duty to protect the public and cannot be held accountable for not doing so. This needs to change so that officers and departments can be held accountable. You calling these officers cowards won't make them quit and lose their juicy pension and benefits
I may be wrong but I think they ruled that they have no _constitutional_ duty to protect. That means we would just need to pass a federal state or local law that they do.
You said it Mike. I'm nearly 51 and my training is 30 years old. I was trained mostly by Marines, but also by SEAL'S for shipboard security force. This training was thorough, often and exhausting because in 1990-1993 when I was part of the volunteer team there were credible threats, but no additional billets available for full time security forces so ships company had to take on the task. I can say that with the training I received there was a massive lesson to be learned. Remove emotions while introducing pointed, aggressive actions you've trained through. There's no use in showing up if you're not going to do the job. Even after 30 years I would still go after a bad guy. I would not expect to survive, but those kid's need someone. These guys don't impress me. With the exceptions Mike pointed out.They should have been getting in there and killing that piece of shit as soon as they knew where he was because he's not holding hostages, he's committing a mass homicide. Mike. You're 10000% correct in what you've said here, and there's zero need to apologize for cursing at all. These incompetent motherfuckers were complicit in some of the lives lost that day.
2 types of people: assets and liabilities. Truer words have never been spoken……as a former military special operator, I’m proud to have served with men like you!
I did 9 years active duty in the Marine Corps, 14 in the Reserves and retired with 23 total. I became a cop after leaving active duty in 92 and retired in April of 2021. Let’s just say I’m glad to be DONE! I was a firearms instructor, rifle instructor, rapid deployment instructor, and had the misfortune to be able to see what goes on behind the curtain in law enforcement. So I have a pretty low opinion of people in the profession. Now there is a minority of good, courageous officers out there. But for the most part those aren’t to type to make their way up the ranks. It’s The Other Guys that do. And those are the ones who want to hire people who don’t have warrior spirit. In the past things like this have happened. But they were able to cover it up. Now days it’s pretty hard to hide what happened, or failed to happen. As an instructor at my dept I knew early on that most of our training was of the No Child Left Behind, Check The Box type. If you attended then you were good to go no matter how fucked up you were. So I fully expect this sort of thing to keep happening. Because it’s getting even harder to find applicants that meet the minimum requirements, and are dumb enough to want to be in law enforcement in this country given its current state of affairs.
Is that why you chose to not be in the military anymore? Because you realized murdering mass amounts of innocent people and kids was a bad look for you?
@@onlyhere101 I’m sorry. You misunderstood me. I made it a career. And retired after 23 years of service. I typed that really slowly, and used a sock puppet on my non-typing hand to translate that into sign language for you. Hope that helped? As a side note: Eignsatzgruppe Dirlewanger was way before my time. My guess is that had you been alive during that time period your stay on earth would have been a short one😂
@@stevewilson7819 speaking of slow, are you in a nursing home now? Because you said you spend 9 years in the marines. Unless you have lost your mind and should have every case you were involved in reviewed for mentally ill and misconduct, I'm pretty sure you understood that law enforcement isn't the military. I don't give a shit about your fake cop career. I asked you about all the people you killed in the military. Don't act like you misunderstood that.
Here in the Netherlands (and most of europe) to become a cop takes years. The most basic education/traning is 2 years. In the USA 6 weeks? That is telling isnt it?
@@Ron-ei5eh The police academies are usually around 12 weeks. State police is 22 weeks. But there are a variety of issues that cause or allow a cluster fuck like this to happen. Some of those are: Recent case laws where judges ruled that law enforcement needs to de-escalate situations. Officers being being routinely investigated and disciplined by their agency for violating policies to numerous to comprehend. Officers being fired for acting within policy and stated or federal laws. Officers being criminally charged for acting within state and federal laws. Officers facing judgement by the following courts when they use deadly force: Public opinion Department Command Staff Main Stream Media Social Media Civil Courts Criminal Courts You can act within dept policy, state and federal law…..and still get fired, sued, and criminally prosecuted. The psychological, and physical stress in the aftermath of a deadly force situation is worse then the actual event. And lasts FAR longer. Departments and Human Resources are also looking for more pacifistic type people to hire. The problem with that is those aren’t the type of people you need when violence is occurring. It takes a rare and unique individual who possess the ability and desire to do that job and can withstand the day to day stress. The stress also causes long term health issues. Then there is the issue of on-going and relevant training as required by case law. The abilities of the instructors in my experience is usually fair to poor. The material taught is fair to poor. And the desired to learn on the part of officers attending is usually poor. At my agency their focus was on what time is lunch, and what time are we done. So in my view things were a shit show. With most citizens not having a true understanding of what a joke the entire criminal justice system is. And I didn’t even get into the prosecution side of the shit show. I’ll just summarize with this: crime does pay. And it can pay quite well if you’re good at it. But there is no health care plan or 401K.
Haven’t heard preaching like this since I retired from the Army 29 years ago. Thanks, your completely right! Seems Mayors are more concerned about lawsuits or power trips then protecting their citizens. A lot of pressure on officers who have leaders with no balls.
You are right! This is a massive failure! And 19 children and two Teachers died horrifically. While the Police with Body Shields 🛡 and Body Vests stood by and waited until the shooter was done for over an hour. Ridiculous! I agree with you completely!
"My husband is retired Army, 23 years, and he was so disgusted seeing these officers stand there and do nothing, he could not even finish watching this video. They need to understand they failed these children and their teachers. Even with ballistic shields, they failed to immediately move forward and kill that POS! Don't put the badge on if you can't or won't do the job.
It's not their job or duty to protect anyone if it means their own lives are put at risk... the US Supreme Court already ruled on this 4 decades ago... dumba55
I am a Sheriff's office training sergeant. Thank you for this brutally honest scathing review. This was truly an embarrassment to law enforcement in a time when we are looked down on by so many in society. Everyone in our office is going to see this. I will start with our SRO's and school security deputies. We are very lucky with our current Sheriff in that our office trains regularly (most of the time I get our people for one full training day every 28 day schedule). Individual officer response to active shooter is part of the tactics we train for. We have made it clear to all of our deputies that they are expected to respond individually. Our tactics have been derived form the LASER instructor course that I attended several years ago. This course was put on by the Louisiana State University who put it together for Homeland Security. (I believe all of our instructors were retired Green Berets.) Since the Sheriff assigned me to this training role, he has given me a lot of leeway in training and gear purchasing for the office. All of our people have active shooter response plate carriers which consist of rifle plates, two extra magazines for their AR's and an extra tourniquet for immediate use on victims. We are also lucky in this area because all but our two parochial schools and two rural schools (these two rural schools have armed deputies) have opted to have armed teacher response teams. Five of our school systems have any where from three to 12 personnel in each building who have access to a weapon throughout the day. These teams train monthly or bi monthly through our office. We train the teachers in the same manner as the deputies. This is a very long winded way of saying that we need an all of the above approach in protecting our kids from monsters. And , in a time when law enforcement is receiving such negative public view this gives that much more fuel to the fire. I hope this will spark serious self evaluation in the deputies I train. Thank You Again David Spicer
Thank you for your service Deputy. I'm glad you are taking Leadership steps to teach what wrong looks like. If any of the deputies in your county are not willing to give up their life to protect an innocent life they are not worthy of wearing the badge. Trained them to react the right way by repeating over and over tactically sound training till it becomes muscle memory. Semper Fi. The Gunny.
I just really hope you do hold your deputes to the same standard as us and you don't Barry anything because he was nice to you once or he's got dirt on the force somewhere else
Thank you for agreeing on this. But what Mike and other concerned parents asked is how we can make sure those changes are applied to all schools across-the-board over US, not by "luck" occasionally.
These cowards are the individuals who would roll you for going 5 mph over the speed limit. These are the cowards who would hem up an elderly lady on a domestic call.
How is it departments pay for “training.” Yet Mike Glover absolutely dismantles it all, for FREE. Law enforcement agencies need professionals like this to conduct their training. I’m an active duty MP stationed in Kentucky and will send this to all of my friends who work with me. This video is absolutely on point.
@@bosshog8844 Read what I wrote. I want all my friends who are fellow law enforcement officers to hear this wake up call to be prepared and training every day for when a moment like this comes.
They had plenty of training, funding, and gear. This is primarily a cowardice problem. Also, not everyone can he turned into a Tier 1 operator no matter how much money you throw at them. We've given away too much responsibility to the States enforcers. They wouldn't let locals do what they wouldn't/couldn't. I know this isn't the topic but the biggest problem in law enforcement is they have little to no understanding of the Constitution, Natural law, and Natural rights/inalienable rights. They violate their sworn oaths on a weekly basis and waste their time and resources on things they shouldn't even be involved in according to the supreme law of our nation.
Good video EXCEPT….no, they were not defunded. Actually, they were extremely heavily funded. They made multiple Facebook posts bragging about all of their new gear which they still failed to utilize apparently. This happened in Texas, not exactly an area known for defunding their police departments. In reality, this shows that it’s the training that’s lacking and not the money. They have plenty of that.
Yeah, I remember there's a 2018 post of theirs, bragging about new body armor meant to stop rifle rounds, via a statewide Bill , that became heavily mocked after the shooting.
I wish I could have upvote 1000 times because most won’t upvote because it’s goes against there narrative That police department had 40% of the city budget if that’s defunded than I don’t want 2 know wats a well funded police department is
You can have all the fancy equipment you want. USELESS if you don’t train!!! If you can’t accept the ultimate fact that you (officer(s)) are LITERALLY NOT willing to sacrifice your life to save others…you should either be fired or held accountable if a life is lost!! It is infuriating to watch this…
First Off THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Second you touch my Heart. I was SO Mad at those Cowards.I felt the same way why are you Police Officers.Either your going to protect Life Or Not.If your Not a Gunfighter Get the HELL OUT THE WAY!
The major over patrol at my old department said it best: "If there is an active shooter, you rush in there no matter what. The more rounds the shooter fires at you means the less rounds the shooter has to fire at innocent people". I am sorry to the victims and their families who were let down by these cowardly officers.
At some point I legit question if Cops wont get trained right, at some point they should only hire from X Vets with new training because the role is a bit different but at lest then they would have better tactical understanding then Civilians with a license to kill who are trained to make money through tickets rather then worrying about the ever growing threat of mass shootings. I question if every fair sized city having some level of swat training or practice. Even if it's with BBs or Air soft at lest it would make them look like they go sense.
This is why im subscribed man, you’re a brutally honest guy with a genuine mindset. This world needs more people like you & more people to actually stand up and do what’s right.
Thank you for everything you do and of course your service Mike, you're an outstanding American. The lack of action of the law enforcement is beyond disgusting here, this is completely unacceptable. We need reserve military and national guard in and outside of our schools protecting the children of this country.
As a retired police officer i can only say you are 100% right these officers are cowards and are responsible for the death of children. As a police officer i was in more then one shoot out and hostage situation we handled the problem without waiting for backup there was no swat teams coming. You bought tears to my eyes watching this video, as cold as i may sound those officers should have night mares every night over the deaths of those poor children and teachers, blood is on there hands. Thank you Mike for bring this to lite and for the many things you have done for this country we both love. God Bless America! In closing i just want to say many of those cowards are more then willing to vallate your constitutional rights.
Unfortunately this is becoming more and more common. I remember a video, that included the 911 conversation, of a man calling 911 after 3 men broke into his home. Finding out he was home one of the intruders started coming up the stairs after him. Fortunately he was armed, unfortunately he was forced to shoot the intruder. After the police arrived the 911 operator informed him that they wanted him to come outside THROUGH AN UNCLEARED HOUSE unarmed.
I have to take issue with one point you made... These cops occupied something like 40% of the city of Uvalde's annual budget. For a city of roughly 15,000 people, that's a massive expenditure. They were, by no sane metric, "defunded". How long did it take for all that nice gear, like ballistic shields, scoped rifles, tactical vests and plate armor, to start accumulating uselessly at the end of the hallway? Much of it was there from the start, already on site. The gear sure didn't make those men. I think, buried under the senseless tragedy of all this, that there's a cautionary tale about not letting the pendulum swing too far in the other direction- against us equipping and training our civilian police forces to be soldiers even more than we already do. Men like the majority in that camera footage have no business soldiering our streets, our schools, and places of gatherings...
It won't matter anyways. No matter what kind of tacticool little toys they have, no matter how much training, a coward is a coward. You can't train that out of someone. Unfortunately, it's those types that the job of a policeman appeals to.
@@arnoldnemeth8578 These officers had active shooter training two months before the shooting. They did not follow it. These cops were useless cowards. It had nothing to do with lack of training, equipment or "defunding." Blaming it on defunding police just shows ignorance. Nothing will happen to these cops either. Thin blue line bullshit.
@@arnoldnemeth8578 They literally had active shooter training hosted at that same school in March. Over the last 40 years police have taken their bloated budgets and this is what we get. All the money and training won’t be of benefit when the systemic problems with law enforcement attracts and promotes cowards and bullies.
@@arnoldnemeth8578 ah yes cause the training was already top notch here when this happened with a huge budget already. Leftists have been calling for training for officers when it comes to unarmed shootings. The other side doesn’t do jack shit or support it. And here we can see that they are right, their training is absolute shit.
Hi Mike, I became a police officer after I served (Mid 80s), and during training, an instructor actually said to us that, "we weren't expected to put ourselves in harm's way". My head about exploded but, of course disregarded such ridiculousness, having already been indoctrinated in a "Do or Die" philosophy. Hard to watch, through the tears of rage!
That right there is the problem. It is not liberal or conservative policy at fault here with regard to police work, it is that police have come to put their own safety and well being over the communities they have vowed to "protect and serve." As a Brazilian jiu Jitsu instructor and practitioner of nearly two decades, I cannot count how many times I've heard cops I have trained with say, "no matter what, at the end of the day, I'm going home." I think this is why US cops shoot and kill more people than any other comparable democratic country. Usual caveats of "not all departments, not all cops" apply.
And people don't think about the lives of the cop who does get shot and dies in life or death situations. Will anyone be there for his children and teach them what they should have learned from their parent who risked their life to save another life? Collateral damage is what does more damage. It hurts the whole community. I'm not saying that it's right or wrong for cops to have gone in and risk their lives or not but there are many factors which went into the minds of the cops. I like how instead of blaming it on what it is, the blame gets shifted to the cops. I thought the blame was on violent video games.
@@1992pv it’s obvious that you have no understanding of first responder mentality or that of true masculinity. And since you don’t, their is no need to try and explain it to you. An after action if the event isn’t assigning blame to anything exclusively. The shooter is a screwed up individual because who knows. The school officials are screwed up because they did lock the door as is procedure. And the cops are screed up because they didn’t take immediate action which is being seen as cowardice.
@@johngalt748 masculinity? good joke. Risked enough of my life defending the country kid. Even as a military contractor. I don't know why Mike doesn't just become a military contractor too if he has so much to complain about. Point being. Guns create more distress than they do good. Why do you think African countries can't get their stuff sorted out? Because too many factions have guns and would rather use that instead of coming together to talk things out and be a man and work together so that their children won't have to suffer what they had to go through.
Forget being fired, how have the officers identified so far not been dealt with by grieving parents and an enraged community? If ever there was a time for examples to be made, it is here and it is now.
I agree...all the responding officers and their superiors should be placed on "Parking Meter Maid" duties pending a Criminal Investigation...No wonder that the Uvalde Sherrifs Dept and their politicians fought hard and DID NOT WANT THIS VIDEO TO GO PUBLIC...Mike is right NO Excuses for them.
I don't like conspiracies but how in the world you explain none of these police officers doing anything about this? It's almost like they were paid to stand down. If I was investigating them I would look into their finances because this behavior is so odd!
@@Jack-oz4bf For someone who doesn't like conspiracies, looks like you're already spooling up an insane alex jones level conspiracy theory. Get your head out of your ass and read a book. How about Investigate how to think critically
@@Jack-oz4bf I don't think any money makes a person watch children being slaughtered or injured struggling for their lives. What makes me suspicious is the recording edited? At least audio? I can't hear what the police officers are saying?
@@st1cky953 the audio is absolutely edited. In this video specifically he chooses not to play the audio, however the video itself that was uploaded to RUclips has the audio of the children screaming edited out. So I would not put it past them to edit the dialogue between officers in the hallways.
@@Jack-oz4bf well usually you don't need to really go beyond incompetence as an explanation for this since that is usually why these things happen. It is a massive failure due to those on the scene.
Thank you for this superb tactical analysis with the same level of rage and disgust that every person with an ounce of decency should share. As a former cop, I was involved in many tactical and fast response situations. Something I figured out very early is that there is less than a hair’s breadth between a fight response and a flight response as both are mediated by the same hormones - epinephrine and norepinephrine. When in a threatening or dangerous situation, I felt the adrenaline kick in; it’s an autonomic response over which I have no conscious control. But what what I could control consciously and deliberately is how I reacted: I could succumb to fear or push that fear into anger; not flaming, debilitating rage, but a red-hot slow burn that I control. In my experience fear and managed anger are mutually exclusive; it’s either one or the other and I choose which. After a short time my response became automatic to the point where it occurred without conscious thought. I retired 33 years ago and my response is still automatic. We can’t always control the situations we face, but we can (and must) control our response. That said, the stupidity, nonchalance and craven cowardice of all but one of the first responders is mind numbing and incomprehensible. I am confident that not one of these delusional “heroes” will have the shame to quit. And when they are fired, watch these pathetic pansies hire lawyers to fight their battles. Despicable.
I remember after high school I thought about becoming a police officer. I asked a family friend who was on the local pd what were the requirements. I shit you not, all I need to do is buy my firearm and boots. That's the requirements from where I'm from to become a cop.
Thank you. "Craven cowardice" is the worst part about it. These are the kinds of guys who are all bad-ass and tough talking on a traffic stop with 3 units there but when the time comes to demonstrate you really are a man they pussy out and then make excuses for their cowardice. I'm surprised that the video cameras didn't pick up the sound of the quaking in their boots.
Mike, as a retired LEO, I would like to thank you for the detailed analysis of this horrible incident and response. I can’t imagine any of the Officers I have ever worked with just standing by waiting. This made me want to throw stuff around the room. I would not be able to sleep at night, if I just stood there and didn’t respond. This should be seen by every Police Officer going through the Police Academy. If anyone watching this gets there underwear in a wad, they are part of the problem. Thank You !!!
Agree completely. As a current LEO north of the border I can confidently say that if this were to happen here you would have 20 snarling beasts pushing to the active killer and ending this. Tough to watch.
Sadly most LEO are trained that “officer safety comes first” …this is evident in the way most cops engage in traffic stops…this is why they shoot people reaching for documents that the officers request…more training isn’t the answer ..good training is…as a Marine I can’t fathom the way this went down, we were trained to run towards the gun fire and engage with ANYTHING you have at your disposal…throw rocks if you have to…not saying every marine is brave but all of us were trained to ignore our own safety and kill the enemy with extreme prejudice. Shit most of us looked forward to our first firefight (of course sentiment changes once you actually go through combat) but nevertheless we all get a rush out of it…having been shot at and returned fire I can personally attest to just how intense of a high it is engaging the enemy. There’s shit I’ll have to remember for the rest of my life but god damn there’s nothing like it in the world.
They could have had training but it may have been lack of actual experience and leadership. Also, like mike said some people are just built different. One of the reasons spec ops weeds those who can’t out.
@@jeffs3119 This isn't special operations/the military and that argument is invalid when AN ENTIRE COUNTY of police officers fail to act. Even normal infantryman would've done something. Lack of experience or otherwise. It was disgusting and pathetic. Zero excuse
@@jeffs3119 Mike doesn't know what hes talking about if it isn't tactical related. None of these cops will get fired, well maybe we get one whipping boy.
I’m a Canadian but doesn’t matter where your from or born in a situation like this all innocent human life matters especially of the children. Thank you Mike for being the voice of the people and educating even in time of tragedy. I’ve seen a lot of your videos and learn something new every time.
I'm a retired Law Enforcement officer with 24 years of experience. This situation makes me sick. There is no excuse for this type of cowardice. Just sad.
Thank you for your service @Chris. Can I ask you something? How often/rare would it be for Officers to disobey orders in a hostile situation like this or some similar, and the officers go in by themselves? I'm not saying that was the case here, just irks me thinking about how they didn't go in way sooner.
@@dangerous8333 if this shooting were in the next County, I'm sure some of the cops from Uvalde would be chirping away in the comment section about how they would have charged in and blasted the guy without hesitation.
The thing that makes me feel more sick, though, is a lot of ignorant people acting like ALL police officers are the same...media always points out the minority of bad apples and then acts like it applies to the whole group. Same thing for a lot of different groups too that they like to attack, like religious groups, gun owners, homeschoolers, being Republican or Democrat, etc etc
For the record, I’m not with that “WOKE” B.S.. This was NOT a result of “The police being DEFUNDED” There were EXACTLY 376 officers from different agencies, none of which looked like rookies…
Of course they didn't look like rookies. They want to look like badass operators. But from the way they moved and the absolute paralysis they had, I'm not convinced any of them had ever been in a firefight before.
this is an example of why the police should be defunded (as in not have an insane % of budget given to them). All those officers, all that military surplus equipment, and they did nothing. Even if they had rushed the room, you wouldn't need 376 of them.
Thank you. The 'defund the police' nonsense only began two years ago. I lived in Texas. The cops are well funded all over that state. Even in my little pokie town. But they weren't trained. That much is obvious. So now the question is: where is the leadership spending that money if not on training for their officers?
I am not a cop or military, just a security guard (but our bosses did high speed stuff in their prior careers) they teach us as much as they can, and we learn what we can (we arent contract security so we can have a higher quality guard) and while its easy to say when im not in a horrifying situation, the one thing i fear is being a coward, god forbid this happens, but i will do what i can to confront and end the threat. I find it disgusting these cops dont have the same beliefs
UPDATE : Mike will be doing a follow-up video TODAY as he's received new information regarding the shooting from a federal agency supervisor. The facts are disturbing. The level of cowardice and incompetence displayed keeps getting worse. Something needs to change. Stay tuned.
Just to give you a heads up, the doors could not be locked from the inside of the classroom, only way to lock it is on the outside of the door. Also the door he walking into was never able to lock because the door bolt was drilled wrong and would not engage. A complaint was made about this weeks ago but never addressed.
Great video! It is obvious now why these videos are so delayed in showing what happened.
Damn I dunno if I have the stomach to hear anymore. This is really sad on all fronts
@@ericphilbrick9780 correct. False flag for tyrannical political gains. Evil disgusting creatures. They aren’t human.
I would love to see a poll taken by first responders showing how many would stand down given the order knowing their children and wives were present in the classroom with them being a hallway distance away, the reaction is not normal. Anyone I know would run through a fucking wall to protect their children, and I have no military and or law enforcement background, and I'm not posturing. One of my sole duties as a parent is to protect my children. The sole responsibility of law enforcement is to protect and serve the public, I dont give two shits about an officers safety when something like this happens.
A mom, working in nearby fields, jumps in her car, speeds to her kids school, is pushed back, then handcuffed, jumps a fence, races into the school, goes to 2 classrooms to get her children, ends up also, getting an entire classroom to safety! Now that's a hero!
AGREED.She is a HERO.
A true badass.
Amen!!!!
Amen. She’s a hero.
She should get an award and bust in the city. Right in front of the police training school
I'm a former Marine turned Schoolteacher. It frustrates me: there are weeks I don't even have enough pencils for my students. These police had ballistic shields, body armor, more than enough ammo, and yet they couldn't save the children? Useless.

scumy cowards..is there proof that they are stalking the mom..i'd like to try and out them if possible
Absolutely true the problem isn't "defunding" the police. The problem is that those funds are going towards buying equipment rather than towards training because what good is equipment if you arnt trained for the equipment or if your police force is to cowardly to actually use the equipment
I say if you show cowardice in a situation like this and after the crisis is over , you are to be promptly executed

Unbelievable. They must be trying to lose their jobs and humanity
I remember Bill Guarnere said in an interview:
"You aren't scared in combat. You really aren't. It's all auto-pilot. Your training kicks in. You have an incredible focus and the idea you could be hurt doesn't ever come into your head. It's not until you are sacked out later that night that you get scared, realizing what could have happened. But that's OK."
Wild Bill! A hell of a man for sure
..and that's why you train.
You train so all the minutia becomes automatic (as you said) and it frees your mind up to think about tactics and execution instead of fundamentals and mechanics
@@CWHollemanexactly, if it’s not a reflect action then keep training.

“Everybody wants to be an operator until it’s time to do operator shit.”
Well said. You can’t buy the mindset. They got gut checked and failed.
It doesn’t take an operator to defend innocent children from being slaughtered like this .Only a real human being with a heart.
Everybody thinks their punisher but really they’re just some guy with a punisher background on their phone
Mike is correct, of course… Everyone thinks they can operate until SHTF… and they panic because they’ve had no training… and I constantly tell people as a firearms and self defense instructor is… “train, train, and train” and very very few actually do it. Shooting a few boxes of cartridges a couple times a year won’t cut it, folks ~ God Be With Us All🙏🏻🇺🇸
Yup.....Mike Tyson the Legendary boxer said the same thing....."Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." .....No EXCUSE.
Don't forget that the POLITICIANS who placed these cops at those jobs must also be held legally responsible for this massacre.
The senators and the Governor also need to be FIRED.
The cops are just a mirror image of their LEADERS.
Dont forget!
2007 Navy Seal, Mike Day entered a house in Iraq leading point. He was shot 27 times, killed 4 terrorist and walked out. All these cops encounter an untrained 18 year old and run or won't engage. Not all men are equal. These have no courage. There were untrained parents wanting to engage. IMO - these cops should do the surviving families a favor and leave town.

For those reading, Don’t take my word for it. Look it up for yourselves. Search for, Supreme Court has ruled Law Enforcement has no duty to protect citizens.
This is why the second amendment is the most important amendment in our constitution. Gun control isn’t about protecting lives. It’s about controlling the people.

Jackie Cazares was shot near her heart, was still alive when the cops breached the room she died on her way or at the hospital. Her dad a former Marine said she fought hard to stay alive in that classroom with the gun man for over an hour. She was 9 years old at the time of her death.
No parent should EVER have to worry about that. I wish laws could guarantee such things couldn’t happen. But they don’t. Criminals don’t follow laws.

100%.
I worked for a large municipal fire dept. for 25 years, and NOT ONCE did I see or hear a colleague suggest that we do nothing or that someone else has to do something “for our safety”.
I thought I was going to die a couple times; and I’m not brave or noble, but they say “courage is the fear of being thought a coward”. In other words, you don’t back down in front of your buddies, and you put life and property at risk when you don’t act. They train you to act.
Every fireman and every cop should know that you earn your twenty years of pay in a few hours over a couple days. You know that a day will come when you will be expected to put yourself in harm’s way. This is why you get paid fairly well.
We had division level training with the cops for school shooter scenarios, and the absolute name of the game in those situations is to locate and neutralize the shooter as fast as possible, PERIOD.
They always tell you in training that you want to go home in one piece, but it isn’t the absolute focused goal of everything you do. It’s a component of risk assessment. Some fires are not going to be interior attacks, they are going to be surround-and-drown, but NO fire is a sit-there-and-do-nothing.
These chickenshit cops, sitting there in the hallway with their training and riot shields and body-armor bristling with weapons and doing NOTHING for an hour and a half should ALL be fired. Retirements yanked. FUCK each and every one of these cowards.
Cops these days are forever whining about “my safety”, taking eighty year old women to the ground, violating rights, handcuffing people with no reasonable suspicion, pulling weapons on people with their hands in their pockets, bullying everyone they meet “for my safety”.
You know what, Officer? FUCK your safety. You want to be safe? Go sell insurance.
Well said, those cowardly cops should be run out of town!
Cops don’t get paid FAIRLY well, some are out there making a quarter of a million a year, they make more than soldiers who are literally in a war zone, I know 25 yr old crackheads that are braver than any cop I’ve ever met

Yeah bro. The police response on this one bothers me as much as the rampage killer. 400 officers and it still took them well over an hour to do anything at all while people were suffering. The worst part is that the officers aren't even being honest. None of them came out and said "yeah maybe we screwed up in this one" there was police agencies across the nation frantically telling their men not to stand around and to go in and shoot the killer even if they die trying. When other police jurisdictions are using your jurisdiction as an example of what not to do, by that time its time to start being honest and admitting 1 hour and 40 minutes to take out an untrained killer while they're geared up for war and standing around doing nothing, that's not right.
Excellent breakdown. I would say this was 100% cowardice. “Radical leftists” didn’t defund the Uvalde police department. The department makes up 40% of the city’s budget and the department has trained repeatedly for active shooters, including a drill this past March.
everything just seems to be the "radical leftists" fault nowadays lol
Glad someone said it. I've lived in TX all my life, and am in the area. Very few PDs were defunded in this state, I'm not sure why he keeps pushing that narrative.
Thank you! I don’t think anywhere has really been defunded by “leftists.” I think Mike’s anger is 100% on point but also found that to be a pretty weak argument. Maybe they can stop buying MRAPs and Bearcats and actually focus on training…
Police nowadays have every asset at their disposal. Training or equipment are not the issue modern policing emphasises arrest numbers, drug busts and revenue raising through tickets and misdemeanor arrests. The time of police being people that are looked up to has come and gone now cops are just government employees that consider the well being of citizens last if at all. The police of my father's day and age are gone, the police of my generation are focused on the war on drugs and creating revenue not civil service or protecting Constitutional Rights. That's the reason public trust in the police is at the lowest it's ever been since polling on this issue began over 25 years ago.
I think he’s right that the leftist defund movement did put fear in officers. The mere fact the very first guy before he entered the school had him in his sights and asked permission to shoot several times as a gunman with a rifle who had already fired at people walks TOWARDS A SCHOOL. The defund/blm culture or the Ferguson effect probably played a role. But maybe not in the actual funds in this situation, though who knows. But one thing is for sure they NEED to prioritize training over equipment. Why not pay for every 10 days on the job you need to train something 1 day. Hell maybe even 1 for every 5. Train shooting, descalation, Spanish, active shooter, jiu jitsu whatever the fuck. They can’t just take a training every few years and call it a day. And if they train a lot for this and still fucked it up that bad then yeah. Pure cowardice.
I honestly feel like one of the biggest cowards was the officer who's wife died. He was LITERALLY steps away from her room as she was being gunned down and he did nothing. And it was all caught on camera. I don't know how the hell he can live with himself.

It shouldn’t be “Do us a favor…” It should be “ Everyone one of you is fired for conduct unbecoming, cowardice and failure to perform your sworn duties”
Officers are not required by law to save a life. How can they then be fired for cowardice. 🤷🏻♂️ police unions will never allow that to happen
This video is a horrible review. It is completely ignorant of facts.
Two key facts: (1) command called this in as a barricaded subject, instead of active shooter. (2) by the time the cops arrived NO children were screaming.
The individual cops didn't do anything wrong. It was the police force at large that screwed up royally. Upper command called the situation a barricaded subject, which means that the suspect is contained and no children are around or in danger of imminent harm. This was a horrendously wrong call and the police department must be held accountable. This was not a barricaded subject, but an active shooter. Moreover, there were no children screaming that could be heard by anyone in the building by the time the officers arrived. The idea that kids were screaming and officers stood by is completely false.
When the suspect is declared a barricaded subject, officers are told to hold their ground and not move in until reinforcements and better equipment arrive. When the officers don't hear any children screaming in the halls they have no reason to question their command. If you want better training, fine. But it's not the individual officer's fault some idiot called down the wrong order and this was not declared an active shooter situation. The police department must be held accountable, but not the individual officers who were doing their job as a reasonable officer would do and had no reason to question their command because no kids were screaming (this is what ignorant people who don't do their research are telling you).
@@pritchfest3I guess you missed the part where the officer was shot at and debris was flying. If that ain't an "active shooter" what is?
no they should be brought up on charges for capital murder for each one of those that were killed for not doing there jobs,and if Vets. were the security that ass whole would have never made in the building
@@karlreinke Exactly! Fuck what command says and do what is right. It's not hard to tell what that is in this situation. It never should have gotten to a point where command had a say anyway. Cops get shot at, they return fire. Simple as that.
Mike,
I just watched your video again on Uvalde. I’m so glad you speak your truth. I worked for a agency here in Fl and it is beyond my comprehension to watch the lack of action by the officers. It is a shame, a tragedy and the utmost cowardice attempt to save the lives of children! Thank you once again for all you do. Thank you for your service.
I am 110% with you brother. The entire department was a failure.
Not the entire department. Maybe you and I watched a different video. That older gentleman lead the way, was grazed, and went back. And he did it with no support. If all were like him, the shooter would have been put down quickly.
They save 99% of the school, what the hell y'all smoking on lol? Did y'all not see all the evacuating they were doing around the schools?
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ If someone is actively in the process and injuring/killing people the primary job in an active shooter scenario is to stop that person. The first strike team in is to find and engage the primary target and the secondary, and tertiary teams assist the first team if necessary or complete the additional tasks needed.
@Max Passion his death is on their hands too, considering that he died of a heart attack the next day. I can't imagine the agony his family feels.
@@ryanbales8116 That was the other teachers husband.
I'm also crying for the old officer. I see he wants to do something, he's ready to go back in, he signals for officers to follow him, he's the only that goes down that hallway. It's really disheartening.
I saw that too. If he had been backed up he was willing to enter. Time to think and supervisors appear to have killed that iniative.
Then maybe he should have just gone in

Wish you good luck
Thank you
Good luck. I hope you’re doing well.
It falls heavily more towards cowardice than training. A mom, that probably never spent a day at an academy, who isn't a "SWAT operator", who doesn't have all the high-speed gear, went in to gets her kids despite all the chaos & lack of intestinal fortitude from multiple "men" already there. That mom has more balls than multiple SWAT teams put together. It's about heart in the end.
Yeah man gotta agree. I signed up with a war popping off, I knew what it meant, with no fucks giving and i don't understand them standing there. I do believe training those matter though and even fitness cause it all matters in that moment.
And that mom is catching shit from the authorities now!
When I first heard this, I didn't believe it.
Because I never believe nothing I hear and half of what I see.
Then a day later I saw it on the News.
You do know she had to talk her way out of handcuffs in order to do what she did.
Those cowards handcuffed her because she wanted to go in and save her children.
They have been harassing her since the incident
You know now! The police, are currently, harassing that woman big time! They are try to trump up charges against her! Those police might not be fired at all, cause they are police!
As a former city cop and now retired Army, I have been saying this for years... If you are constantly "in fear for your life", you are in the wrong job and you should turn in your badge... I am so sick of that excuse... "I was in fear for my life"... Cmon Man, you wear a gun and badge for a reason... SMDH
Exactly! It’s the career and life that you chose! And there are stupid people who actually defend them for those threadbare excuses.
I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with being afraid or in for your life, especially as a law enforcement officer or trained warfighter, HOWEVER in both of those situations I don't think that excuses lack of action. When you take the job you sign up for be in scary, dangerous, and potentially lethal situations. I have read plenty of stories where cops were fucking horrified while still quickly, cleanly, and safely dispatching armed threats before they can wreck havoc. We shouldn't say people can't or shouldn't be afraid for their lives, we need to say that it's their job to act regardless.
Hire me I'll protect the kids and innocents in my sector. I mean I already do it for free
Cowards have filled up the blue.
There is nothing wrong with being in fear of your life. But true bravery is doing what needs to be done in spite of your fear. And unfortunately there was no bravery that day.
I live in texas please don't use "defunded police" We haven't defunded police as a matter of fact we tripled the $$ we give to the police the last 4 years. Its important because it paints an accurate picture -- we are pro-police this had ZERO to do with police it having enough funding. This has to do with ineffective and incompetent policing . Which is only made worse knowing there were almost 400 officers in the area hearing children scream for help just standing there and ALL still have their jobs they trained two months prior to this shooting. To have the Police Chief tell his men not to engage to stay protected is outrageous. Kids go back t0 school in 9 days and not one officer has lost their job. This goes way beyond police funding
This is exactly why we should defund the police. You tripled the money given to them and they still did absolutely nothing. What a waste of taxpayer funds
I’d also add in that the courts have explicitly said they don’t have the duty to protect and ‘protect and serve’ is a LAPD marketing slogan.

A 22 year old man from Indiana had more guts than all of those police officers in the Texas shooting.
I’m a Custodian at an elementary school when I was hired as Supervisor/Custodian I introduced myself to the parents and staff, I gave my name and improvements I will do at this school. My last statement was “I will protect your children and staff to the fullest extent of my life”. I meant that.
God forbid it does but when that day comes, I hope you uphold that promise

I believe you ,wish you the best in life because tou think right
I hope it doesn't come to that,but if it does remember David's mighty men of Valor!
Dude if you were a soldier then know your political views have nothing to do with doing your duty! You should also know that talking shit doesn't win fights!
You, an expert with all the information and experience, have changed my perspective on this entire event. Having only gleaned info from the media coverage I had the impression that the officers had done the right thing but there MIGHT have been some systemic issues with the training and response. The mainstream media isn't just untrustworthy. It's actually become counter-trustworthy, meaning that I'm going to have to assume they are twisting the facts of TRAGEDIES like this to serve their own ends. I have nothing but the utmost respect and genuine heartfelt gratitude for you and everyone like you. I'm just a truck driver with zero training, but as a father of an elementary school age daughter, I KNOW I'd smash through any barrier and smoke that POS as quickly as possible. I pray I never have to prove that, but I can't even IMAGINE standing down the hall picking my ass while kids are getting shot and fighting for their lives. Imagine what those kids are thinking..."My friends are dying! My teachers are dying! The police are here...why don't they come save us!?" ASTOUNDINGLY SHAMEFUL performance. And I'm absolutely with you on bringing charges down on the chief.
Don’t be so quick to think this dude knows what he’s talking about or is telling the truth either. He blames the event on the defunding of the police, which never happened.
I'm a retired high risk entry team commander. We trained to enter rooms while taking fire. The first three officers were there in around 3 minutes. When they took fire, they retreated and quit. This not only showed a lack of training but a supreme lack of guts. I'm without further words.
Same here. I have thousands of high risk entries as a drug agent. We had two types of entries we prepared for, that we called, "The Snake" and "The Flood". The Snake was very organized, a medium speed entry, where you didn't pass up uncleared doors or areas and if you met significant resistance, you stopped and re-assessed. The Flood, was for one thing, and one thing only, undercover agent rescue (usually an active shooter situation). And, in The Flood, you hauled ass to the shooter, flooding through the house or structure to locate him and the undercover agent, and you didn't take your time, and you kept going until you found them and the undercover was rescued and the shooter taken care of. And, at that point, and that point only, you started worrying about wounded agents who got hit on the entry. That type of entry can be a gut check. But, you need to do that before that day, not while standing outside a room full of kids (or an undercover agent, for us) being murdered.
Like YOU would have gone in with those other 2 clowns lol, that kid would have KILLED you, if you had gone barging in there…it’s not called the “fatal funnel” for no reason bro!
And how’s that “war on drugs” coming along buddy…please do us a favor, go walk into oncoming traffic bro!
HEY those are GOOD LEO how dare you talk about them lol lol
@@Chihuahuauno1 this is comically false. Just because there’s a fatal funnel present in an active shooter situation, does not mean that the shooter has his gun trained on the door in anticipation for the LEO response, especially not within a few minutes of him making entry. The shooter is busy killing people, and he doesn’t have eyes behind his head. Further, is a LEO trained in marksmanship and stress shooting going to really be outgunned by some 18 year old kid who literally just bought a gun? Be real with yourself. Sure, there’s officers out there who suck ass, but let’s be honest with ourselves. Violence of action would have ended this almost immediately. You clearly have no idea about active shooter response and I would suggest that you stop trying to correct people who have had years of experience in this kind of thing, otherwise, you can go walk into traffic yourself for being a scumbag.
Im not an emotional type, but when Mike said to imagine the gunshots taking those young lives, I lost it. Those poor babies. The one institution that children are told they can trust when shit like this happens, failed them in their literal darkest hour. If kids being shot and killed doesn't motivate you, then what the fuck does?
Well said.
THIS CANT HAPPEN THO, ITS A GUN FREE ZONE
Exactly
Nothing does.
Hand sanitizer..
100% agree. We keep hearing cops always saying something like "my number one goal is to make it home alive at the end of my shift" when what they should be saying is "my number one goal is to make sure the innocent make it home alive and second, myself". Not one officer out there ever says this. The scene at the school was pathetic...50 armed officers, all wearing bullet proof vests, all cowards. Every single person there should be terminated and lose all benefits.
They stood down until Uncle Joe gave there boss the word to go. Had to wait for the numbers of deaths reach there goal.
This was a setup by the left
Not defending these guys, or cops in general tbh fuck all of them, but the way they are treated as racists with guns doesn't inspire that mindset
These guys were school cops, not city, county or state.

Amen. Thank you. It’s so scary that SOOOO MANY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS showed up this incident yet not one person looked like they new a damn thing.
Most of these “officers” AKA “protectors” were outside FIGHTING WITH DISTRAUGHT PARENTS IN THE PARKING LOT. When the parents were crying ask asking why they’re not inside saving the children they were telling them that it’s because they’re too busy having to babysit these adults. 🤦🏼♀️ some parents were detained for LITERALLY TRYING TO DO THE COP’S JOBS since they weren’t doing it. One mother in particular LITERALLY RAN INTO THE SCHOOL AND SAVED A BUNCH OF CHILDREN BY SAFELY LEADING THEM OUT OF THE SCHOOL TO SAFETY. and for being THE ONLY TRUE HERO she was then HANDCUFFED AND ARRESTED FOR IT. 🤯🤯🤯
That’s not there job to protect and serve it’s just a saying they use to fool the peasants into thinking they are safe so they can keep going to work for the elites.
As a Retired Police Officer (20 Year Patrol Officer in large city) and US Marine ( 8+ years Active/Reserve in Infantry as 0351) I’m beyond saddened and embarrassed about what happened with Law Enforcement and their total lack of action. Your assessment is 100% accurate. Thank you.

Don't be ashamed. It never happened. I know this for a fact
The chief is a liar who doesn't know anything, the officer who didn't shoot when he could have was a fool and a coward, and the officers in the school who didn't enter in the room right after the shooter, all cowards, not officers, not men. We as a nation should be ashamed people like that could ever become an officer of the people.
There IS NO negotiations when it comes to saving lives!!!!! The person occupying the chief position should be sent to prison period!!!!!
I don't get it. How come a masr
ksma shooter is in place before the perpetrator enters the school?
Sorry about that. My thinking was, how could there be officers in place all ready before the shooting. Makes no sense? Then there would be no shooting?
I'm not defending first the officer who didn't fire but I somewhat understand his hesitation. If he shot and the suspect was a minority or some other protected class then he could expect his life to be over regardless of how justified he was. Imagine if the suspect was a black, gay, and/or transgender, all we would have heard was that cops were hunting down minorities in the streets and "he didn't do nothing to get shot". This officer's life would have been over and there is a good chance the police chief would have thrown him under the bus and he would haveended up in jail.
Cops shouldn't ever have to consider that crap, but that is the reality of the US today.

"Everyone wants to be an operator till it's time to do operator shit."
I know it is an old line, but this one really hits.
Looking back on this from a year later, I can confidently say that the failures at Uvalde have had an impact on American policing.
Just a few days ago a lone officer who just happened to be in the vicinity of an active shooter in Allen, TX took down someone on his own who was much more prepared and trained than the kid in Uvalde. He ran towards the sounds of gunfire alone and stopped the threat less than 4 minutes after the shooting began while at every disadvantage because he wasn't a coward and he used speed, surprise and violence of action. If you aren't willing to give your life in the service of saving the lives of children, I don't know what else could possibly motivate you. It's unnatural, inhuman.
All those Uvalde cowards are a disgrace. An old saying goes A hero dies once a coward dies a thousand times. The Uvalde pd does at least once a day.
Nobody wants to be Uvalde. Terrible that they had to set such a stark example of what not to be.
amen!
I thing that the shame that was brought on the Uvlade police department and all cops because of their lack of response has motivated cops around the country. As another example, there was a shooting at Las Vegas University, and 2 *campus police detectives*, without armor, shields, or long guns put him down before Vegas metropolitan police were even set up to respond. They were quick and decisive, and because of that there were only 3 fatalities as opposed to Uvaldes 19.
1:03:57 in case anyone wants to hear it
To be clear these cowards were not defunded, they receive 40% of the city’s budget. No amount of training would’ve made those guys preform, they stood there checking twitter while children bled out.
Since when does an officer facing a deadly threat have to ask for permission to use deadly force? As a career Officer/Training Officer who spent a career training other officers I have never heard this before!! Superb Analysis and 150% accurate in every way!
Cops are getting sued and fired for doing there jobs these days so now so many are afraid to even do the most basic thing.....take the fight to a school shooter......
Since dumbass politicians made it into making law enforcement policies.
Oooor, it could have been, he didn't want to to make the decision himself.

Exactly. These clowns are tough guys on the side of the road bossing innocent people around giving them tickets. All of a sudden they're asked to do their job and their balls magically shrivel up.
how does it feel to be a thug and harass citizens and commit armed highway robber each day over arbitrary laws that are inherently despotic by nature of being arbitrary therefore unconstitutional. Whats worse you are one of those turds that trains future turds to keep violating innocent people's rights. Your entire existence and daily job violates peoples inalienable right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness. I don't believe your comment for a single second. There is no such thing as a cop that doesn't violate peoples rights and actually defends citizens. Anyone who actually tries to do that gets immediately fired (Plenty of examples of this happening). Everyone on here sees that you are full of shiit.
There comes a point when you cowboy the fuck up and do what you need to do to save innocents.
Awesome comments Mike. It's refreshing to see someone willing to tell it like it is.
I was a cop for 10 years. Around ‘05 or ‘06 we were doing some intense active shooter training, and one of my fellow officers stated and I’ll never, ever forget it, said, “If there’s a Columbine type shooting situation I’m not rushing in the school because according to our union contract, that’s not stipulated or required .” Someone asked, “So you’d just stay outside and listen?”. He replied, “Yep”. We all just looked at him in disgust as we often did. His name is Dave Massey and Yep, he’s still there…..
First thing I thought when I saw this.... is that it seems to be UNDERSTOOD that if an active shooter is in a NON WHITE SCHOOL ...........GIVE THE KILLER TIME TO COMPLETE HIS JOB..........If the killer was WHITE he would have been taken ALIVE .......And the may have even had Donuts ready for him when he came out .
What city is he in?
Most cops are cowards. Even most of those guys looking at him with disgust.
And half, if not most, LEOs are that way.
@@jfkst1 yup.
It’s one thing that the law enforcement on scene chose not to engage the shooter for over an hour, but the fact that they stopped parents who would die to save their own kids really hurt to hear about as a new dad myself. I can’t even imagine what those parents being tased or handcuffed for trying to get to their kids while hearing gunshots were going through. I just pray for all the families involved.

If you are willing to lay your life down for your kids don't you dare hold them back it is a conscious choice of love.
The idea that police have been meaningfully defunded in any way, especially in TX is questionable. This is a bunch of bullies used to ruling over people that got way to comfortable being the big dogs that got exposed for the cowards they are.
Agreed. You can buy all the gear you want, you can't buy heart.
Excellent point. The fact that Uvalde hasn't seen rioting after this video was released, that the police station there hasn't been set on fire by parents mourning dead children, indicates it's a strongly pro-law enforcement community.

We received an “all hands on deck” page as soon as the trauma system was made aware of the shooting. We had every tool we needed, and every available general surgery resident/attending was in our trauma bay ready to do what we are trained to do. We watched the minutes pass on the clock, eventually enough minutes passed when we realized how few survivors there were.

Couple of things. Uvalde law enforcement agencies didn’t suffer from a lack of funding or training. Quite the contrary, since Uvalde is a border town, it’s receives funding and training support from numerous federal agencies. Uvalde SWAT recently received active shooter training, weeks before this incident. And as you can see, officers from multiple agencies responded, all well equipped.
They had the training, resources and equipment to bring this incident to an end, except leadership and moral fucking courage.
Kind of strange he mentioned defunding; that was not their issue that day.
His agitation actually lends some credence to why people want them defunded. What are they getting funded for? Didn't they just get done with training a few weeks prior to this? If that guy was selling loose cigarettes then he would have been handled. A few comments in here make the point. Funding has nothing to do with cowardice and just wanting to look the part and not play the part; as he somewhat stated. This situation also brought to light that they don't actually ha e an obligation to serve and protect; that was just a hearts and mind campaign.
And the fact that all across America “officer safety” is a top priority drilled into their heads day in and day out. Despite it not even making the top 10 most dangerous careers in America
@@vaden706 that's the kind of mentality that leads to a man getting shot crawling down a hotel hallway playing Simon says and then the officer getting medically retired and now receiving pension for "PTSD".

This was a raw and real breakdown and discussion that needed to be had. As a LEO myself, seeing the surveillance video from inside that school and thinking about those kids being left to be killed broke my heart. Moved me to tears. Not out of only sadness, but 90% out of anger/frustration. Law enforcement failed that day. Failed bad.
It's horrible man, I'm not a LEO but I am a Marine Infantryman. The non action that day caused children's lives to be lost. At a certain point in time, shots being fired, you need to push. I feel like if the older officer at the beginning had 1 or 2 more hard chargers behind him he would have pushed to clear. I'm 36 and that may not be that long of a life but without a doubt I'm pushing and I don't give a fuk if I live as long as I can put a round or 2 into the target or take a bullet for the man behind me to drop the target. On shots turn down the radio, take 3 breaths, clear the mind, move to breach, react to PID, accurate shots on target, kill, disable, disarm, turn radio back up, sit-rep, casualty assessment, render aid. This whole situation makes me extremely angry. Also thank you for your service and stay safe.
Is no one gonna talk about how fishy it was? Maybe a little more than incompetence in play. Look at the sheriffs history.
You know as well as we do that if there was a Leo being shot in that room they would’ve charged in there with bad intentions. But officer safety propaganda has been drilled into cops heads and they don’t even see children as worth the risk of their own lives. That’s a fact
@@CowpokeRick what’s the sheriffs history?
What should be done to improve hiring/ recruitment/ training? It should be a priority to have good police forces everywhere, and it doesn't seem to be that way.
Imagine in 10 years when those kids that survived start driving in Uvalde and they get pulled over by one of those cops hiding in the hallway. The cop will treat the kid like the bad guy, hand them a fat ticket and walk away feeling like he did his job. They should be fired and barred from any police work in the future. If this was a psych test 99% of them failed.
Considering the ethnicity of those kids, they might end up shot for being a little to brown for their liking.
that part... nobody really talks about the deep disrespect that normal individuals feel due to this "community relation" crap that the cops do..... They send a lobster-faced pink skinned boy in blue to interact with the youths.. and he always chooses someone to pick on.... Wherever he goes his badge declares his valuable service and honor, but when he corners me for a conversation it's mind games and power trip. And then the same cop will be idling at the corner down the street and if I wanna go down that street I know he'll be looking at me... looking at all of us, waiting for another chance to pump up his shriveled power-addicted ego......
Omg, you're so right. And seeing as the feckless police department took 40% of Uvalde's budget, I hope that leaves some funding for mental health services NOW. If not, some of these kids will look to treat their PTSD with drugs- which will lead to MORE policing.
I hear they are bullying the mom who ran into the building. God, imagine being one of the parents put in handcuffs while hearing gunshots? I would want to tear apart any officer who dared disrespect me
I think the only way for there to be a police department, there needs to be a clean slate. Everyone should be fired. They can reapply and have their performance assessed- this happens in failing school districts. The hiring should be completely transparent, and serving the community must be part of their culture.
Everywhere they need rebuilt up from the ground up. This is just the big example people are really starting to see why.
Us democrats are NOT Leftists. Just like Conservatives are NOT Right Wing. Just want to put that out there.
I completely agree with almost every point that you make, as a Democrat that owns a firearm for home protection and now getting my CCW, for cowards like this all over the US, I applaud this video and respect you for coming forward and calling out each and every one of these "officers". Well stated, great points that are not debatable, and great ideas to make change.
As a disabled veteran of four tours in Iraq, and a combat disabled veteran in '08 in Iraq, I believe in, for lack of a better term due to media, "defunding" the police ONLY in regards to needing multiple MRAP's and other over the top tech not needed in some, some communities, and would rather have that money go towards this exact training, these exact weapons for this growing threat, and more combing through of some of these officers who clearly should not be on the job. If you wanted to use this gear all the time to feed your ego, you should have gone into the military and kept that as your career.
I also don't completely agree on the point that just because an 18 year old is now considered an adult can they now buy an AR platform as an adult because they can have one in the military. I do not believe these are the same as our young military men that have these weapons are getting great training specific to their weapon and do not have access to it at all times during the normal duty day/night. But they have discipline, understanding, and the mindset that that weapon is a deadly tool. A adult at 18 years old that wait impatiently to buy all the gear as soon as he/she is 18, will never care about proper training and learning about the weapon, but better yet respecting the weapon. UNLESS proper training as a child, under trained adult supervision at all times that the weapon is in use, and in the safe care of trained adult supervision while not at a certified range, then an 18 year old can possess the platform, with continued training until 21.
We let alcohol be given to 18 year olds for years, saw the effects with years of studying, and moved the age to the "adult" age of 21 years old. Cigarettes should be the same.
I am more than happy to have a discussion, but please don't just start yelling, calling names, or try to flex, I am all for communication and respect. I don't care about your feelings.
I am really looking forward to watching more of these videos from this channel!
I think it was Donut Operator that said something along the lines of "when did LEOs in armour start caring about their safety above little kids without it". 'nuff said. That guy at the front nailed it. Sad to see he didn't receive the support he needed to finish the job.
While he at least did something compared to others, he should have just kept going, especially when the shots were fired. But he can get a pass while the rest need to be thrown in jail.
Edit: thinking about it, I wonder if someone told him the door was locked. That would explain why he did not fully commit with only the handgun.
When they started militarizing the police and taking away the "Serve and Protect" aspect of "law enforcement", that's when. An overwhelming number of "cops", get into the job for a fat pension and so they can retire early. The vast majority doesn't give 2 shits about the people who pay their check. That's why Gov. entities have the benefits they do, so that way people "follow orders" and use that excuse, because they essentially sold their souls.
I literally feel your pain brother. as a Marine and father, this is beyond words.
Thank you for your service.
People say I don’t know what I would do because I wasn’t there. To them I say I do know because I know me. I would have gone in even if I only had my flipping J Frame on me. Anyone going in would have taken that evil b@$t@rd’$ focus off the kids and would have bought time until the cavalry got there. Didn’t we learn that time is of the essence at Columbine? I’m so angry thinking about all of this.
Aye Martin you look like a really cool ass dad 👍🏾
“Speed, surprise, and violence of action.” Fucking thank you! I can’t say anymore than you did. I was never a CIF/CRF super soldier, but I went through a lot of doors as a SFAUC-trained GB. I’ve observed over the years that LEO training is geared primarily towards self preservation, which is fine for 99% of their job. It’s not in this case. Outside of SWAT and other tactical units they don’t seem to be taught to maneuver aggressively toward the bad guy-take the fight to them. I guess a fear-driven mag dump is a technique, but maybe not the best one. Regardless of their training- how do you sit in the hall and listen to kids being murdered and do nothing? If they go home and don’t swallow a bullet in shame it means they found a way to justify it in their own minds.
Amen
No, since columbine cops were taught to move to the shooting and act, even if it’s one cop. They train for this.
There is no excuse or explanation for Uvalde. Those cops must stand on their own.
No offense to anyone but you also have to differentiate between a large metropolitan Tactical Team (full time) and some of the smaller “Call Out” or “Secondary Duty” TAC Teams. Going to 3 weeks of Shooter College doesn’t make you a door kicker.
@@RamadiTaxiDriver60M You don’t have to be a door kicker in this scenario.
Just not a coward
@@RamadiTaxiDriver60M don't need to be a door kicker at all. Just need to do something over NOTHING. They literally did NOTHING. DISGUSTING to even watch. All should be fired except for a small handful of guys.
I agree with about 90% of what you said. While I am not against law enforcement, I am anti-police. I can get behind the sheriff because he is elected, and if we don't like what he is doing, we can eject his ass from office. I retired from the army in 2016. I say this so that it better illuminates what I am about to say. I doubt there will be any criminal charges, and I also don't believe that any civil charges will be brought against them either. The Supreme Court has already ruled that police are under no obligation to risk their life for you or yours. Qualified immunity also protects public officials from prosecution for incidents occurring within the performance and scope of their duties. This means that if a cop shoots at a bad guy and kills your daughter because he missed, he is not legally liable. If we are going to arm our police and treat them like soldiers, they should be held accountable in exactly the same way. Until then, back the blue until it happens to you. The only one you can count on protecting you, is you. That is all, huah.
Thank you Mike for speaking your mind! I agree 1000%
I agree with most too, I just wish he weren’t wearing the “black rifle” cap. Those people are not on our side.
Supreme court has ruled that law enforcement have no legal obligation or duty to protect the public and cannot be held accountable for not doing so. This needs to change so that officers and departments can be held accountable. You calling these officers cowards won't make them quit and lose their juicy pension and benefits
Thats crazy, here in Sweden the police are forced by law to act even in their free time.
They don't have a legal obligation but they definitely have an ethical obligation!!
@@keithjones5383 ethical obligations though don't carry the force of law and produce no real consequences for ignoring them
This should probably be brought up more.
Few people seem to remember this ruling and how ridiculous it was.
I may be wrong but I think they ruled that they have no _constitutional_ duty to protect. That means we would just need to pass a federal state or local law that they do.
You said it Mike. I'm nearly 51 and my training is 30 years old. I was trained mostly by Marines, but also by SEAL'S for shipboard security force. This training was thorough, often and exhausting because in 1990-1993 when I was part of the volunteer team there were credible threats, but no additional billets available for full time security forces so ships company had to take on the task. I can say that with the training I received there was a massive lesson to be learned. Remove emotions while introducing pointed, aggressive actions you've trained through. There's no use in showing up if you're not going to do the job. Even after 30 years I would still go after a bad guy. I would not expect to survive, but those kid's need someone. These guys don't impress me. With the exceptions Mike pointed out.They should have been getting in there and killing that piece of shit as soon as they knew where he was because he's not holding hostages, he's committing a mass homicide. Mike. You're 10000% correct in what you've said here, and there's zero need to apologize for cursing at all. These incompetent motherfuckers were complicit in some of the lives lost that day.

Train me I volunteer as tribute
I'd rather LEO mistake me for the shooter and kill me, than do nothing and listen to kids die.
I did 9 years active duty in the Marine Corps, 14 in the Reserves and retired with 23 total. I became a cop after leaving active duty in 92 and retired in April of 2021. Let’s just say I’m glad to be DONE!
I was a firearms instructor, rifle instructor, rapid deployment instructor, and had the misfortune to be able to see what goes on behind the curtain in law enforcement. So I have a pretty low opinion of people in the profession. Now there is a minority of good, courageous officers out there. But for the most part those aren’t to type to make their way up the ranks. It’s The Other Guys that do. And those are the ones who want to hire people who don’t have warrior spirit.
In the past things like this have happened. But they were able to cover it up. Now days it’s pretty hard to hide what happened, or failed to happen.
As an instructor at my dept I knew early on that most of our training was of the No Child Left Behind, Check The Box type. If you attended then you were good to go no matter how fucked up you were.
So I fully expect this sort of thing to keep happening. Because it’s getting even harder to find applicants that meet the minimum requirements, and are dumb enough to want to be in law enforcement in this country given its current state of affairs.
Is that why you chose to not be in the military anymore? Because you realized murdering mass amounts of innocent people and kids was a bad look for you?
@@onlyhere101 I’m sorry. You misunderstood me. I made it a career. And retired after 23 years of service. I typed that really slowly, and used a sock puppet on my non-typing hand to translate that into sign language for you. Hope that helped?
As a side note:
Eignsatzgruppe Dirlewanger was way before my time. My guess is that had you been alive during that time period your stay on earth would have been a short one😂
@@stevewilson7819 speaking of slow, are you in a nursing home now? Because you said you spend 9 years in the marines. Unless you have lost your mind and should have every case you were involved in reviewed for mentally ill and misconduct, I'm pretty sure you understood that law enforcement isn't the military. I don't give a shit about your fake cop career. I asked you about all the people you killed in the military. Don't act like you misunderstood that.
Here in the Netherlands (and most of europe) to become a cop takes years. The most basic education/traning is 2 years. In the USA 6 weeks? That is telling isnt it?
@@Ron-ei5eh The police academies are usually around 12 weeks. State police is 22 weeks.
But there are a variety of issues that cause or allow a cluster fuck like this to happen. Some of those are:
Recent case laws where judges ruled that law enforcement needs to de-escalate situations.
Officers being being routinely investigated and disciplined by their agency for violating policies to numerous to comprehend.
Officers being fired for acting within policy and stated or federal laws.
Officers being criminally charged for acting within state and federal laws.
Officers facing judgement by the following courts when they use deadly force:
Public opinion
Department Command Staff
Main Stream Media
Social Media
Civil Courts
Criminal Courts
You can act within dept policy, state and federal law…..and still get fired, sued, and criminally prosecuted. The psychological, and physical stress in the aftermath of a deadly force situation is worse then the actual event. And lasts FAR longer.
Departments and Human Resources are also looking for more pacifistic type people to hire. The problem with that is those aren’t the type of people you need when violence is occurring.
It takes a rare and unique individual who possess the ability and desire to do that job and can withstand the day to day stress.
The stress also causes long term health issues.
Then there is the issue of on-going and relevant training as required by case law. The abilities of the instructors in my experience is usually fair to poor. The material taught is fair to poor. And the desired to learn on the part of officers attending is usually poor. At my agency their focus was on what time is lunch, and what time are we done.
So in my view things were a shit show. With most citizens not having a true understanding of what a joke the entire criminal justice system is. And I didn’t even get into the prosecution side of the shit show. I’ll just summarize with this: crime does pay. And it can pay quite well if you’re good at it. But there is no health care plan or 401K.
Haven’t heard preaching like this since I retired from the Army 29 years ago. Thanks, your completely right! Seems Mayors are more concerned about lawsuits or power trips then protecting their citizens. A lot of pressure on officers who have leaders with no balls.
You are right! This is a massive failure! And 19 children and two Teachers died horrifically. While the Police with Body Shields 🛡 and Body Vests stood by and waited until the shooter was done for over an hour. Ridiculous!
I agree with you completely!
"My husband is retired Army, 23 years, and he was so disgusted seeing these officers stand there and do nothing, he could not even finish watching this video. They need to understand they failed these children and their teachers. Even with ballistic shields, they failed to immediately move forward and kill that POS! Don't put the badge on if you can't or won't do the job.
It's not their job or duty to protect anyone if it means their own lives are put at risk... the US Supreme Court already ruled on this 4 decades ago... dumba55
They failed in their basic job requirement. To protect the community they serve. Especially the person in charge.
@@firstjohn3123 They dont have a duty to protect their job is to enforce the law whatever it may be. So yes they did fail in doing their job though.
@@bigvinnie3 Either way, they failed.
@@firstjohn3123 agreed
I am a Sheriff's office training sergeant. Thank you for this brutally honest scathing review. This was truly an embarrassment to law enforcement in a time when we are looked down on by so many in society. Everyone in our office is going to see this. I will start with our SRO's and school security deputies. We are very lucky with our current Sheriff in that our office trains regularly (most of the time I get our people for one full training day every 28 day schedule). Individual officer response to active shooter is part of the tactics we train for. We have made it clear to all of our deputies that they are expected to respond individually. Our tactics have been derived form the LASER instructor course that I attended several years ago. This course was put on by the Louisiana State University who put it together for Homeland Security. (I believe all of our instructors were retired Green Berets.) Since the Sheriff assigned me to this training role, he has given me a lot of leeway in training and gear purchasing for the office. All of our people have active shooter response plate carriers which consist of rifle plates, two extra magazines for their AR's and an extra tourniquet for immediate use on victims. We are also lucky in this area because all but our two parochial schools and two rural schools (these two rural schools have armed deputies) have opted to have armed teacher response teams. Five of our school systems have any where from three to 12 personnel in each building who have access to a weapon throughout the day. These teams train monthly or bi monthly through our office. We train the teachers in the same manner as the deputies. This is a very long winded way of saying that we need an all of the above approach in protecting our kids from monsters. And , in a time when law enforcement is receiving such negative public view this gives that much more fuel to the fire.
I hope this will spark serious self evaluation in the deputies I train.
Thank You Again
David Spicer
Thank you for your service Deputy. I'm glad you are taking Leadership steps to teach what wrong looks like. If any of the deputies in your county are not willing to give up their life to protect an innocent life they are not worthy of wearing the badge. Trained them to react the right way by repeating over and over tactically sound training till it becomes muscle memory. Semper Fi. The Gunny.
Good stuff Sir
I just really hope you do hold your deputes to the same standard as us and you don't Barry anything because he was nice to you once or he's got dirt on the force somewhere else
Thank you for agreeing on this. But what Mike and other concerned parents asked is how we can make sure those changes are applied to all schools across-the-board over US, not by "luck" occasionally.
If you're really for the people. You'd be exposing these court rooms and the Admiralty Law... or do you not know what your enforcing?
These cowards are the individuals who would roll you for going 5 mph over the speed limit. These are the cowards who would hem up an elderly lady on a domestic call.
How is it departments pay for “training.” Yet Mike Glover absolutely dismantles it all, for FREE. Law enforcement agencies need professionals like this to conduct their training. I’m an active duty MP stationed in Kentucky and will send this to all of my friends who work with me. This video is absolutely on point.
So you want to double down on government?
@@bosshog8844 Read what I wrote. I want all my friends who are fellow law enforcement officers to hear this wake up call to be prepared and training every day for when a moment like this comes.
They had plenty of training, funding, and gear. This is primarily a cowardice problem. Also, not everyone can he turned into a Tier 1 operator no matter how much money you throw at them.
We've given away too much responsibility to the States enforcers. They wouldn't let locals do what they wouldn't/couldn't.
I know this isn't the topic but the biggest problem in law enforcement is they have little to no understanding of the Constitution, Natural law, and Natural rights/inalienable rights. They violate their sworn oaths on a weekly basis and waste their time and resources on things they shouldn't even be involved in according to the supreme law of our nation.
Yeah, like working traffic accidents. That’s a civil issue, no need for police.
Thank you! This guy somehow blamed defunding the police as the reason when cops continue getting the lion share of most towns and cities budgets.
Ummmmm, I’m not quite sure SWAT is “Tier 1.” SMH🙄
@@Chihuahuauno1 They're not but they certainly try to be. 🙄
Their PD is like 6 officers. We gotta stop pointing at Uvalde PD and yelling cowards. There were MANY agencies there.
Good video EXCEPT….no, they were not defunded. Actually, they were extremely heavily funded. They made multiple Facebook posts bragging about all of their new gear which they still failed to utilize apparently. This happened in Texas, not exactly an area known for defunding their police departments. In reality, this shows that it’s the training that’s lacking and not the money. They have plenty of that.
Training does not remove Coward from a Coward!!
Yeah, I remember there's a 2018 post of theirs, bragging about new body armor meant to stop rifle rounds, via a statewide Bill , that became heavily mocked after the shooting.
I wish I could have upvote 1000 times because most won’t upvote because it’s goes against there narrative
That police department had 40% of the city budget if that’s defunded than I don’t want 2 know wats a well funded police department is
You can have all the fancy equipment you want. USELESS if you don’t train!!! If you can’t accept the ultimate fact that you (officer(s)) are LITERALLY NOT willing to sacrifice your life to save others…you should either be fired or held accountable if a life is lost!! It is infuriating to watch this…
I don't think the point of failure was at the lack of training but a failure in hiring the wrong ppl many times over
First Off THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Second you touch my Heart. I was SO Mad at those Cowards.I felt the same way why are you Police Officers.Either your going to protect Life Or Not.If your Not a Gunfighter Get the HELL OUT THE WAY!
The major over patrol at my old department said it best: "If there is an active shooter, you rush in there no matter what. The more rounds the shooter fires at you means the less rounds the shooter has to fire at innocent people". I am sorry to the victims and their families who were let down by these cowardly officers.
As a veteran, I also found this mass murder and resulting tactical fiasco very painful to watch. I feel so sorry for the victims and their families.
Roger that.
I've seen airsofters be more professional than this and most of them are fat tubs of lard pretending to be cool (myself included)
At some point I legit question if Cops wont get trained right, at some point they should only hire from X Vets with new training because the role is a bit different but at lest then they would have better tactical understanding then Civilians with a license to kill who are trained to make money through tickets rather then worrying about the ever growing threat of mass shootings. I question if every fair sized city having some level of swat training or practice. Even if it's with BBs or Air soft at lest it would make them look like they go sense.
The only thing more tragic is the media expecting the cops to commit suicide
This is why im subscribed man, you’re a brutally honest guy with a genuine mindset. This world needs more people like you & more people to actually stand up and do what’s right.
Thank you for everything you do and of course your service Mike, you're an outstanding American. The lack of action of the law enforcement is beyond disgusting here, this is completely unacceptable. We need reserve military and national guard in and outside of our schools protecting the children of this country.
As a retired police officer i can only say you are 100% right these officers are cowards and are responsible for the death of children. As a police officer i was in more then one shoot out and hostage situation we handled the problem without waiting for backup there was no swat teams coming. You bought tears to my eyes watching this video, as cold as i may sound those officers should have night mares every night over the deaths of those poor children and teachers, blood is on there hands. Thank you Mike for bring this to lite and for the many things you have done for this country we both love. God Bless America! In closing i just want to say many of those cowards are more then willing to vallate your constitutional rights.
Unfortunately this is becoming more and more common. I remember a video, that included the 911 conversation, of a man calling 911 after 3 men broke into his home. Finding out he was home one of the intruders started coming up the stairs after him. Fortunately he was armed, unfortunately he was forced to shoot the intruder. After the police arrived the 911 operator informed him that they wanted him to come outside THROUGH AN UNCLEARED HOUSE unarmed.
@@timberry4709 that is insane
I have to take issue with one point you made... These cops occupied something like 40% of the city of Uvalde's annual budget. For a city of roughly 15,000 people, that's a massive expenditure. They were, by no sane metric, "defunded". How long did it take for all that nice gear, like ballistic shields, scoped rifles, tactical vests and plate armor, to start accumulating uselessly at the end of the hallway? Much of it was there from the start, already on site. The gear sure didn't make those men.
I think, buried under the senseless tragedy of all this, that there's a cautionary tale about not letting the pendulum swing too far in the other direction- against us equipping and training our civilian police forces to be soldiers even more than we already do. Men like the majority in that camera footage have no business soldiering our streets, our schools, and places of gatherings...
Defunding forces won't just affect equipment, but more importantly than anything, TRAINING.
It won't matter anyways. No matter what kind of tacticool little toys they have, no matter how much training, a coward is a coward. You can't train that out of someone. Unfortunately, it's those types that the job of a policeman appeals to.
@@arnoldnemeth8578 These officers had active shooter training two months before the shooting. They did not follow it. These cops were useless cowards.

@@arnoldnemeth8578 They literally had active shooter training hosted at that same school in March. Over the last 40 years police have taken their bloated budgets and this is what we get.

@@arnoldnemeth8578 ah yes cause the training was already top notch here when this happened with a huge budget already. Leftists have been calling for training for officers when it comes to unarmed shootings. The other side doesn’t do jack shit or support it. And here we can see that they are right, their training is absolute shit.
Hi Mike, I became a police officer after I served (Mid 80s), and during training, an instructor actually said to us that, "we weren't expected to put ourselves in harm's way". My head about exploded but, of course disregarded such ridiculousness, having already been indoctrinated in a "Do or Die" philosophy. Hard to watch, through the tears of rage!
That right there is the problem. It is not liberal or conservative policy at fault here with regard to police work, it is that police have come to put their own safety and well being over the communities they have vowed to "protect and serve." As a Brazilian jiu Jitsu instructor and practitioner of nearly two decades, I cannot count how many times I've heard cops I have trained with say, "no matter what, at the end of the day, I'm going home." I think this is why US cops shoot and kill more people than any other comparable democratic country. Usual caveats of "not all departments, not all cops" apply.
Good times create WEAK men!
And people don't think about the lives of the cop who does get shot and dies in life or death situations. Will anyone be there for his children and teach them what they should have learned from their parent who risked their life to save another life?
Collateral damage is what does more damage. It hurts the whole community. I'm not saying that it's right or wrong for cops to have gone in and risk their lives or not but there are many factors which went into the minds of the cops.
I like how instead of blaming it on what it is, the blame gets shifted to the cops. I thought the blame was on violent video games.
@@1992pv it’s obvious that you have no understanding of first responder mentality or that of true masculinity. And since you don’t, their is no need to try and explain it to you. An after action if the event isn’t assigning blame to anything exclusively. The shooter is a screwed up individual because who knows. The school officials are screwed up because they did lock the door as is procedure. And the cops are screed up because they didn’t take immediate action which is being seen as cowardice.
@@johngalt748 masculinity? good joke. Risked enough of my life defending the country kid. Even as a military contractor. I don't know why Mike doesn't just become a military contractor too if he has so much to complain about.
Point being. Guns create more distress than they do good. Why do you think African countries can't get their stuff sorted out? Because too many factions have guns and would rather use that instead of coming together to talk things out and be a man and work together so that their children won't have to suffer what they had to go through.
Thank you Mike, for ALL that you do!
Forget being fired, how have the officers identified so far not been dealt with by grieving parents and an enraged community? If ever there was a time for examples to be made, it is here and it is now.
People don't know how to recognize these types of issues in modern society.
Viva La Guillotine!
I agree...all the responding officers and their superiors should be placed on "Parking Meter Maid" duties pending a Criminal Investigation...No wonder that the Uvalde Sherrifs Dept and their politicians fought hard and DID NOT WANT THIS VIDEO TO GO PUBLIC...Mike is right NO Excuses for them.

Thanks for the excellent time-line analysis, Mike.
Thank you for this superb tactical analysis with the same level of rage and disgust that every person with an ounce of decency should share. As a former cop, I was involved in many tactical and fast response situations. Something I figured out very early is that there is less than a hair’s breadth between a fight response and a flight response as both are mediated by the same hormones - epinephrine and norepinephrine. When in a threatening or dangerous situation, I felt the adrenaline kick in; it’s an autonomic response over which I have no conscious control. But what what I could control consciously and deliberately is how I reacted: I could succumb to fear or push that fear into anger; not flaming, debilitating rage, but a red-hot slow burn that I control. In my experience fear and managed anger are mutually exclusive; it’s either one or the other and I choose which. After a short time my response became automatic to the point where it occurred without conscious thought. I retired 33 years ago and my response is still automatic. We can’t always control the situations we face, but we can (and must) control our response. That said, the stupidity, nonchalance and craven cowardice of all but one of the first responders is mind numbing and incomprehensible. I am confident that not one of these delusional “heroes” will have the shame to quit. And when they are fired, watch these pathetic pansies hire lawyers to fight their battles. Despicable.
You are my hero. I don't know how society will survive without you on the force anymore.
I remember after high school I thought about becoming a police officer. I asked a family friend who was on the local pd what were the requirements. I shit you not, all I need to do is buy my firearm and boots. That's the requirements from where I'm from to become a cop.
Did you call your military recruiter back?
What kind of tactic would you use to go through that door?
Thank you. "Craven cowardice" is the worst part about it. These are the kinds of guys who are all bad-ass and tough talking on a traffic stop with 3 units there but when the time comes to demonstrate you really are a man they pussy out and then make excuses for their cowardice. I'm surprised that the video cameras didn't pick up the sound of the quaking in their boots.
Mike, as a retired LEO, I would like to thank you for the detailed analysis of this horrible incident and response. I can’t imagine any of the Officers I have ever worked with just standing by waiting. This made me want to throw stuff around the room. I would not be able to sleep at night, if I just stood there and didn’t respond. This should be seen by every Police Officer going through the Police Academy. If anyone watching this gets there underwear in a wad, they are part of the problem. Thank You !!!
Agree completely. As a current LEO north of the border I can confidently say that if this were to happen here you would have 20 snarling beasts pushing to the active killer and ending this. Tough to watch.
God bless you & thank you for your years of service. Stay safe. ❤️🙏🇺🇲
Sadly most LEO are trained that “officer safety comes first” …this is evident in the way most cops engage in traffic stops…this is why they shoot people reaching for documents that the officers request…more training isn’t the answer ..good training is…as a Marine I can’t fathom the way this went down, we were trained to run towards the gun fire and engage with ANYTHING you have at your disposal…throw rocks if you have to…not saying every marine is brave but all of us were trained to ignore our own safety and kill the enemy with extreme prejudice. Shit most of us looked forward to our first firefight (of course sentiment changes once you actually go through combat) but nevertheless we all get a rush out of it…having been shot at and returned fire I can personally attest to just how intense of a high it is engaging the enemy. There’s shit I’ll have to remember for the rest of my life but god damn there’s nothing like it in the world.
💯 👍🏼
Thank you...I feel the same damn way.
THIS WAS NOT A DEFUNDING ISSUE. they just had training for active shooters. They literally just were too incompetent and scared.
Facts!
They could have had training but it may have been lack of actual experience and leadership. Also, like mike said some people are just built different. One of the reasons spec ops weeds those who can’t out.
@@jeffs3119 I heard what Mike said, he said it was in part to "defunding", which didn't happen.
@@jeffs3119 This isn't special operations/the military and that argument is invalid when AN ENTIRE COUNTY of police officers fail to act. Even normal infantryman would've done something. Lack of experience or otherwise. It was disgusting and pathetic. Zero excuse
@@jeffs3119 Mike doesn't know what hes talking about if it isn't tactical related. None of these cops will get fired, well maybe we get one whipping boy.
I’m a Canadian but doesn’t matter where your from or born in a situation like this all innocent human life matters especially of the children. Thank you Mike for being the voice of the people and educating even in time of tragedy. I’ve seen a lot of your videos and learn something new every time.
I'm a retired Law Enforcement officer with 24 years of experience. This situation makes me sick. There is no excuse for this type of cowardice. Just sad.
I bet all those officers would have said the same thing.
Thank you for your service @Chris. Can I ask you something? How often/rare would it be for Officers to disobey orders in a hostile situation like this or some similar, and the officers go in by themselves? I'm not saying that was the case here, just irks me thinking about how they didn't go in way sooner.
@@dangerous8333 if this shooting were in the next County, I'm sure some of the cops from Uvalde would be chirping away in the comment section about how they would have charged in and blasted the guy without hesitation.
The thing that makes me feel more sick, though, is a lot of ignorant people acting like ALL police officers are the same...media always points out the minority of bad apples and then acts like it applies to the whole group. Same thing for a lot of different groups too that they like to attack, like religious groups, gun owners, homeschoolers, being Republican or Democrat, etc etc
@@ayjmedia As a LEO, this isn't even disobeying orders in this situation...it's written in our POLICY to stop the threat.
For the record, I’m not with that “WOKE” B.S.. This was NOT a result of “The police being DEFUNDED”
There were EXACTLY 376 officers from different agencies, none of which looked like rookies…
Of course they didn't look like rookies. They want to look like badass operators. But from the way they moved and the absolute paralysis they had, I'm not convinced any of them had ever been in a firefight before.
My friend from that area says you always see cops everywhere in that small town. Just driving by that area you can spot so many cops.
this is an example of why the police should be defunded (as in not have an insane % of budget given to them). All those officers, all that military surplus equipment, and they did nothing. Even if they had rushed the room, you wouldn't need 376 of them.
Thank you. The 'defund the police' nonsense only began two years ago. I lived in Texas. The cops are well funded all over that state. Even in my little pokie town.
But they weren't trained. That much is obvious.
So now the question is: where is the leadership spending that money if not on training for their officers?
I agree 40% to 60 % of budgets go to Police depending on population.
Mike, this was excellent, sir. Never apologize for getting fired up about stuff like this. Appreciate you and all you and your company do! Keep going!
I am not a cop or military, just a security guard (but our bosses did high speed stuff in their prior careers) they teach us as much as they can, and we learn what we can (we arent contract security so we can have a higher quality guard) and while its easy to say when im not in a horrifying situation, the one thing i fear is being a coward, god forbid this happens, but i will do what i can to confront and end the threat. I find it disgusting these cops dont have the same beliefs
