“You can’t sit outside while kids are dying inside” and “you do what you can or die trying” are great points donut. And you’ve been a cop you’ve been in swat. That’s why I definitely respect your opinion more than glorified news readers
As an academy instructor once told my class, "somedays it sucks being a cop". You made an oath. You already have your affairs in order before you mark on duty. Your wife and kids know you love them before you leave in your cruiser. You signed up to be the person that runs in. Your neighbors trust that you will be the one that runs in. No one lives forever. Go in and do your damn job no matter the cost.
Sometimes it doesn't take any special expertise to see what was obvious from the start: A severe lack of courage and ability to think for themselves led to this situation being far worse than it should have been.
@@rjm8373 I wonder what kind of culture could've formed these two features, maybe the one fostered by the people making up 80 percent of Uvalde's population... these people come to a worthy place built on solid values only to keep their old ways and mentality, even generations after moving in. Be careful with the kind of people you let in, Americans, don't be as naive as we Europeans were.
I understand some of these people might think, "Damn, I could get hurt", and that compels them to wait, but they often forget that they're getting hurt right now. Being shot, especially with body armor, especially so close to first responders, with modern medicine isn't typically lethal. You can in many cases recover from being shot. You won't recover from listening to children die for an hour and thirty minutes.
So you're saying the Uvalde PD just held the hall while the shooter played duck duck murder? Everyone in that department should be replaced. The chief for being incompetent and the rest of the officers for failure to act.
@@ls-420stoner6 They aren't elected officials. They don't need to be impeached. The entire police department could be disbanded tonight if they wanted to. But of course they won't. Yes, they do deserve worse. Absolutely.
Chief should go to jail. Theres got to be something that we could get him on. Maybe assistance in mass murder. I dont believe he didnt do that shit on purpose. Sickening
Sounds like shots fired were at door. But there is a chance a few of those kids might have survived the initial barrage of 100 rounds before cops arrived. Plus they supposedly taught ALICE training but for some reason teachers told kids to play dead which is incredibly stupid.
@@MrSinEon have you never heard of charges like aiding a burglary? Assist is a synonym for aid. Aiding in the murder of over a dozen people. So, aiding a mass murder
Damn right. Sure, it's hard to tell your boss to go screw himself and go get yourself into the line of fire, but it's necessary. And not just in this extreme example, this is how most of our country is crumbling right now. "Not my job.. I asked and they said no, I did good." No, no you didn't. Good would be quitting your job to do the right thing.
@@RogueShadowTCNLike the poem “First they came” or the “cougars eating faces” party, no one expects the worst to happen to them. We believe, or we hope, nothing bad will happen to us. That makes it hard for us to put ourselves in danger or even discomfort to help others. Overcoming that self preservation idea that “I’m all that matters” is difficult for a lot of people. To some it just doesn’t make logical sense on why you’d put yourself in danger to save someone.
The Director surgically eviscerated the Uvalde police chief's career, and indirectly threw shade on almost everyone else that showed up; most of the responding officers also put their careers before the lives of children
I don’t get it. If I legal carried and lived in that area I would’ve went up there. I would bare knuckle charge the guy doing whatever I can do those kids. Surprised more community didn’t just say F it and charge
@@GodLovesYou1624 I assume that group of people (like most until they get first hand experience) believed that the people in charge knew what they were doing. And believed the words they heard from them, contrary to what they were seeing.
I don't agree with that. The officers that showed up couldn't communicate with their completely inept, cowardly and incompetent chief and the only info they did receive from their "chief" was full of incorrect terminology. That would have been a totally confusing cluster f... for all involved. ALL because the man in charge was so woefully incompetent he couldn't even turn up with a radio, didn't understand or didn't use the correct terminology which is VITAL when dealing with TRAINED individuals. That chief is the problem. It's starts and ends with him. Everyone else was prepared to do their job, and he stopped them. Such a chit situation all around. But it's overwhelmingly clear, who to blame.
Listening to how this went down this Chief is a straight CLOWN 🤡 anyone who has been in the military and the police knows on watch/duty first thing you equip is your radio, channel checked. Shit hit the fan and his whole career displayed itself in that moment. Officers in the school should of disobeyed the order. It was lawful to do so. Deal with the paperwork after.
Jesus, this makes me furious to listen to. Back around 2000, I was part of a Canadian federal police unit, that did response to an international airport for alien smuggling and illegal migrants. We were not the police force of jurisdiction in the area of our office. The US Border Patrol called us to say that a violent ex-husband had burned down his ex’s mother’s place and almost killed the mom to find out where his ex was. They were fairly sure he had crossed the border and was heading for us. The ex-wife had been moved to the Canadian headquarters just up the street from our office to get her away from her violent ex. They believed that he had passed through the border about 60 minutes earlier and could be at her office very shortly. I passed the information to the local PD, who said that they’d be there in about 30 minutes. I told my the unit commander, a sergeant, that I was going directly to her office to prevent him entering, until the locals got there. He pointed out that we were not the uniform police of jurisdiction, and that it had nothing to do with us. He was right. He was also wrong. I told him that if she was getting murdered while I sat on my ass, I couldn’t live with it. I was going. He said ‘No.” I looked him in the eye, said “You know I respect you, but fuck you, I’m going.” I ran to a cruiser, set up by the front door with my sidearm (no, I didn’t have a carbine either) and waited for the local PD to arrive. They got there and tagged me off, and it turned out the crazy ex-husband had been stopped by the local PD elsewhere. Things were a little stiff when I got back to the office, but my boss said he understood what I’d done and it was forgotten. The job of police officers is to put themselves between the bad guys and innocent people who can’t defend themselves. I’ve had active shooter training, the same as pretty much every cop in North America. I don’t care what the incompetent chief tells you to do - YOU GO IN! And with a roomful of screaming little kids at the mercy of a madman… how can these guys sleep at night?
Good for you man, thank you for sharing. It's amazing to me how there can be that many cowards... not one of 20+ officers had the balls to do what is right. They should all be ashamed. And listen, I believe it's extremely and scary and that they have families as well... well then don't become a cop... despicable.
Not if you're a cop you don't. Cops do not have a duty to protect citizens. Courts have agreed this. The whole "protect and serve" thing is just propaganda, marketing. They protect themselves, they serve their comrades. Donut can pretend he'd act differently but he'd be outside with the rest of those good cops who were doing their job properly listening to kids get murdered one after the other.
“What a fckin tard” Couldn’t have said it better myself, this whole case is rage inducing, the Chief really just allowed innocent kids to lose their lives because of his sheer incompetence. It’s disgusting beyond words.
How does that chief look himself in the mirror every day. He’s been a cop his whole life and had the chance to make a real difference instead of just writing speeding tickets for 30 years, and he cowards out. It was either fear or stupidity...probably both
The part that really haunted me outside of this summary is hearing how a bunch of parents actually did attempt to arm themselves and go in to deal with the active shooter themselves. Only for the officers on scene to disarm and then detain said parents. Like... the fuck is that noise?
There was a cop in Canada that stopped a shooter that barricaded himself after shooting 2 people... The cop had a pistol and slid across and got the guy call of duty style.... Sometimes there's men with balls in control and then there are cowards in control... Unfortunately that day we had cowards in control and the kids paid a heavy price for it ..
"In Canada", Canada is the second largest county in the world. Saying "in Canada" like its some town up north is really unhelpful. Even saying the province means almost nothing either.
On Monday, my school was taking exams and after the first exam was done we went into a lockdown and sat in a corner by the teacher’s desk. About 2-5 minutes in, more or less, the police arrived and started searching the entire school for weapons. Note: A man from Ohio (Only in Ohio.) called the police department saying there was a weapon on campus, police called the school and told them what happened, school goes into lockdown and police arrive. For what feels like an eternity the police get to our room and do a quick sweep, it occurs again about 10 minutes later, except they ask the teacher to open the door, teacher is skeptical, and the police come in and you would not believe the sound of everyone sighing. After about another 15 minutes we get the all clear. And we all go home. I am really glad the police responded really fast and made sure everything was clear. But boy, do I wish the Uvalde police were like these beautiful bastards.
Exactly, idiots like the police here are always shown by the media because the media knows it will stir up hate and other negative things which will then get them more clicks and publicity, and then it makes people have a negative sentiment towards ALL cops, like people are acting like it’s not like all jobs have people that are bad examples, like that’s a given for every job, what do you expect? You don’t see people judge all surgeons when one surgeon is outed for doing something immoral or bad? Like I don’t get it
I had the same thing happen to me in about 2009 2010 at my high-school I went to in Cherokee County Georgia. I was on the bus listening to my ipod and for some reason the busses were lining up but would not let us off the bus. after about a minute I saw a police car drive up the curb and towards the gymnasium from my side of the bus lane just as a kid came running out of the school with about 10 cops chasing him. We had an on-campus police office at all times, which was great. he was a cool guy. The suspect had somehow managed to steal an officers gun after being caught trying to sell or trade guns in one of the bathrooms. As far as I know he never managed to shot though. I've never seen so many cops dog-pile a guy, while barricading him with cars. They did not care if they messed up their cruisers going up the huge curbs or if the guy shot one of them, as long as we were safe. The response was so fast too I didn't know anything was going on until the cops already had it taken care of. This all happened around the time frame of my bus pulling into the school, having to drive a complete circle around the school the the bus lane, and then stopping because someone told the busses shit was going down. we then all piled into the Gymnasium after as a swat team combed the school with dogs. After about 15 min or so of that they gave the all clear and we went home. I never felt in danger at any point. It both breaks my heart and is rage inducing to see the sheer incompetence and cowardice of the police in the Unvalde incident. This is ridiculous.
No lie, I was on the skeet/trap team in high school. We practiced after school and kept our guns locked in our cars so we could go straight to the center. So did our coach, Mr. Northcut. This was actually approved by the district. Had to keep them in locked cases in locked cars, but still, that would be crazy now.
Every police officer on site should feel like a POS. A mom hopped the fence, went into the school without body armor and unarmed, grabbed her kids and left. Too bad she wasn’t armed.
who would win, a team of trained, armored, armed to the teeth professional killers with decades of vigorous training and mounted on a landmine-resistant troop carrier or mom
Im actually disgusted by them calling themselves police officers. When we all take this job and take that oath your signing up to put your life on the line. 4 officers shield, rifle, shotgun and just sit for 50 mins. Should of been stack, push and clear as quick as possible. Hell no shield no long guns should of still been search and destroy. Ive did both for 20 years fire and law enforcement risk alot to save alot!!!!! They dont make men like they used too going to be a scary future.
I could've done better with my Glock and no armor. Hell, I would've without even having a badge. Lead, Follow, or GTFO my way. I don't want to go through cops, but I will.
Well... Dismissing the fact that this was, and I'm sorry to say, just another false flag orchestrated psyop, we have the supreme court to thank for this. Multiple times they have ruled that the Police have no duty to protect anyone but themselves. See DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, Warren v. District of Columbia. It's happened before, it'll continue to happen again.

@@saucedispenser well reality is most of those cops had body armor if they did go in fast and hard as soon as they got on scene, know more than one would’ve been seriously injured let alone killed but still your point stands
It's amazing how Uvalde basically proved the GTA San Andreas Ammunation commercial prophetic. Like "Yeah you could call the police if a criminal starts threatening you, but it takes so long for them to respond to a 911 call that said criminal can just do as they please before they ever show up."
My cousin was tasked with participating in an investigation of what happened in Uvalde. It seriously fucked with him mentally. He came back to San Antonio a much angrier man than he was before. He doesn’t talk about it at all, and whenever someone brings it up in conversation, he almost immediately finds an excuse to leave the room.
Oh wow…just watched the police investigation they released 2 months ago that caused obvious outrage, where he talked for 25 minutes and said police supposedly followed policy and the ONLY “helpful suggestions “ he gave were “they should maybe change how they lock the doors and maybe change the training for the schoolchildren when in lockdowns” 🤦♀️ nothing close to how this video is pointing out actual failures and police policies. My favorite part is when one of the cops made sure to use hand sanitizer (!?) as he just stood there with the other officers twiddling their thumbs. Anyone who is scared for their life in an adrenaline appropriate situation would not think for one second about using hand sanitizer at a time like that, just one example of the poor response
Donut, the chief actully said that he felt that radios carried on the persons of officers would be a hindered and he did not carry a radio nor did he want his officers to carry one on the duty belts. I am a ex police officer from a small town in Texas and I carried a radio on my duty belt and this was back in the early 1990's. The chief in my view totally fucked everything up and cost the lives of ALL the kids and the teachers. He should be held accountable and placed of trail for murder.
Held accountable? Yes. He should immediately be barred from any LEO position for the rest of his life. Charged with murder? Not really. Incompetence doesn’t mean malice. Dude already has to live the rest of his life knowing his inaction (and wrong actions) caused the deaths of multiple people, with many of them being kids. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him committing self forever sleep in the next few months (though of course Id never advocate for that and do hope he gets help).

Would be like if a person came into your house and started hurting people and you sat there watching TV. He did the same. He obstructed justice. He held back anyone willing to end the shooter. If he had to suddenly move out of Texas, I would understand the people.
@@steelrarebit7387 I hate the chief but when you start "appeasing the crowds" by placong crimes that shouldnt be charged you lead down a very VERY fkin dangerous path.
@@nutmeister1961 he is saying how fast he fired doesn't matter when officers of government that says you don't need guns for self protection spends over an hour waiting outside as children died. At that point, he could have killed that many people with a knife
This shooting hits way to close to home for me One of my nieces use to go there my sis got here out an hour before it all happened. Kids were allowed to go home early that day after giving out certificates. It's sad and upsetting. My heart is with those families and the community.
The shooting happened May 24. It was the end of the school year. It was a short day for students because they were handing out merit awards for student accomplishments and having class parties, etc. It was not a regular school day. They weren't giving certificates to the students who survived; they were planning the day to be for handing out reading awards, perfect attendance awards, computer science awards, scholastic achievement awards, etc.
@@christiansmith4159 At some point they should've just told him to go quack himself and go in anyway. I can buy being too afraid to go in, but I can not accept "I was just following orders man" as an excuse.
@@truescotsman4103 omg yesssss!!!! I unsubscribed from him after he defended the cops and then told his subscribers that we owed him an apology for calling the cops cowards! He doubled down! I was done with him after that.
The commanding officer should be up on charges of negligence at a minimum. I hope the parents sue. Many of the murders could have been prevented. There is ZERO excuse for this level of incompetence.
The Supreme Court has already ruled in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services in 1989 and Castle Rock v. Gonzales in 2005 that the state/law enforcement has no legal obligation/duty to save your life, and I doubt that will change any time soon with the current Supreme Court. And with how Texas defines negligent homicide, it would be very difficult to prove that an officer had such an extreme level of indifference that it rose to a criminal rather than a disciplinary level. Even a civil case would be very difficult to win due to sovereign and qualified immunity, and how Texas handles liability. Even if families were able to establish liability, Texas law divides damages based on who is most responsible, and in this case, it is obviously the shooter. This would extremely lower the damages awarded to the plaintiffs, if they even won their case.
He should be brought up on charges of negligent homicide. Even, aiding & abetting a shooter in the commission of a multi fatality crime. Cowardly bastage..🤬

In close quarters (in a classroom) a handgun isn't a bad choice. It's way faster to bring up onto target than a rifle. Body armor you say? Any cop who can't hit a head shot from across the room please quit.
@@spcpitts even a double tap to the chest would work. But anyone willing to follow that order to stand in place, should not only quit, but be charged, have their badges removed, and find another profession.
@@spcpitts please, headshots arent reliable targets... nobody is trained to that standard. You arent reliably making headshots in a stressful situation, especially when the target is surrounded by innocent children. Stick to your first person shooters larper.
This reminds me of the Sewol Ferry incident. Hundreds of people stuck on a ship (that had NO business being out on the water - would overload their cargo, not have anything strapped down, drained of most of the ballast water, added extra floor at top of ship to accommodate an art exhibit with marble walls) as it sunk. PS, the canal they sunk in was known for its dangerous conditions and they chose it to shave 7ish minutes from their arrival time. The nightshift guy in charge of steering turned the wheel 15 degrees (this specific boat knew they were only allowed to turn up to 5 degrees) and the ship almost immediately began to list 45 degrees. Authorities are called, teams are sent…but, somehow, “rescue” doesn’t know there are hundreds of people on board. Essentially only 172 out of 476 people survived that day. But it wasn’t thanks to the officials sent to help. The Coast Guard at the time (they were disbanded due to the incident and reformed later) were mostly there to keep civilians from entering the water and (this part is infuriating) enjoyed ramen together before with their superiors before said superiors went for interviews with the press to say most of the people on the ship were saved - the number of rescues varied as time went on. Meanwhile, parents of a group of high school children were watching the ship sink before their eyes, as the couple of Coast Guard rescue boats circled it. No one was being saved. The first group rescued included the ship’s Captain - I’d like to say he didn’t get the memo that he’s supposed to stay and supervise, but he made sure to change into some regular clothes, neglecting to tell the rescue team that there’s anyone else on board. He’s known as piece of scum #1 in my book. However, despite that, literally all of South Korea knew this was one of the typical vessels that takes customers from Seoul (specifically Incheon) to Jeju Island…plus the phone calls to 119 (their 911) were actively being told that there were hundreds of passengers. The Coast Guard said they weren’t aware of passengers beyond the few they saved. Beyond that, the US reached out to the President to offer aid but was refused because they said they got this. Yeah, you read it right, they turned down an assist from a ship that had over 4000 people trained in rescuing under circumstances as tragic as this - all over pride. From there Coast Guard officers simply sat around waiting for orders - essentially saying, we’ll do something when so-and-so does. Rescues and recoveries were eventually done by regular citizens. Only 3 members of the ship’s crew stayed behind to save passengers. But that’s not the worst of it. The whole time the “rescue” efforts went on, the passengers are listening to a PA system telling everything’s fine, to “stay in their rooms”…and they listen. The life jackets on board were YEARS past inspection - a recording recovered later had a student pointing out the year and commenting on how they looked. Many recovered recordings are heart-wrenching as the students go from mild concern, to joking about death (essentially acting out how they’re in the Titanic), to panic, to acceptance. Many called or messaged their families to apologize for their sins, one said “don’t let my sibling go on a trip and end up like me” - paraphrased due to it originally being said in Korean. Out of 250 students, on what was an annual trip every class was excited for, 72 returned. Many would later tell others that their greatest sin was coming out alive. The teacher who’d organized the event, but wasn’t able to go with them, later took his own life from the guilt of not protecting the children. The chaperones who went also had tragic stories. The three crew that stayed. One, a young woman that refused to leave with the rest and was last seen by a student she’d rescued to go find more survivors was later found by divers. The other two, a couple that were excited planning a wedding. None of them survived. Even the citizen divers faced life-long injuries and some lost their lives to the dangerous conditions within the ship. And all of this over people, who should have protected these passengers, but chose their own pride. No one wanted the backlash that might come out of it if they tried and failed…so they let others make the choice for them. They later started a blame-game as everyone was like “I may not have done what you say, but such-and-such didn’t do ____”. It was, honestly, the most ridiculous and childish thing I’ve seen a group of adults do. No one wanted accountability for their actions - meanwhile the victims’ families and friends were suffering, blaming themselves for what their loved ones went through. Many ended their own lives due to their own guilt or from the pressures the public - for instance, the teacher that organized the trip had been harassed by the press and people, leading to his mentioned exit. In my opinion, he deserved better. You can get better details from Rotten Mango on RUclips (they have a podcast too). The main point is, much like was happened to the people on the Sewol ferry that terrible day, things could have gone much differently if the Chief had just neutralized the threat. If those who were in charge during this shooting actually stepped up (whether to their superior doing nothing or to the challenger hand) and took care of things ASAP. They even refused aid from those more qualified! Needless to say, those kids could’ve been saved - in BOTH situations.
It verifiably does not suck to be RUclips. I would literally end people for my life to be propped up by one of the largest most evil companies on this earth.
What a bunch of cowards these so-called cops really screwed up how many children died while police were hiding behind cover nice and safe with the bulletproof vests I couldn’t live with myself. They were scared shitless and useless.
5:09 Donut, that was my understanding. That regardless of backup, law enforcement immediately goes in and neutralizes the threat. Officers or a officer should have given the chief the middle finger and entered the school to engage the shooter. I don’t make it a habit talking about my past to anyone and especially on a social media platform but this incident has really pissed me off. Being a Marine combat vet, I know there are such things as unlawful orders and I’m not equating the UCMJ to law enforcement agencies but that moral standard remains true. There is no doubt in my mind that I would have entered the school and engaged the shooter, with or without backup. Semper Fi
Damned straight, I am just a civvie but I would have gone in and engaged the shooter, I'd rather him shoot at me than murder children. Every bullet fired in my direction is one less to use on a child and gives time for kids to escape and law enforcement to get there to take the fucker out.
If my boy were trapped in that school, I would have gladly gone down in an effort to save him. Nothing short of lethal force would stop me, and that would've made this a much more tragic story. "Cowardly police execute father trying to save his son" and nobody could tell me that I'm wrong for it.
Okay, if I’m honest I blame all of this on the Chief, but also like you said donut, they should have just didn’t listen and ran in and decimated the guy.
@@robbiespoonerdrummer eh nah I blame the chief. People are having crazy mental breakdowns daily....if a fucking chief can't handle these situations they don't deserve to be chief.
Just following orders as usual. But boy, don't let em catch you speeding or with drugs. The police on scene didn't seem to have any problem going "hands on" with any of the parents who actually had the BALLS fo do something. Absolutely disgusting.
brits are just screaming ban ban ban ban ban all guns ban ban the consitution ban ban ban everything ban ban just trust the amazing government they care about ban ban ban fuckin ban
Thanks Donut! Waiting for more facts to come out before covering this one was a good call! Insane poorly handled by LE on scene. Blows my mind imagining them just hanging out in those halls for that long....
Granted, there is nothing wrong with stating "These are the facts as we know it. When we know more we will update it ASAP, if we are wrong then we will correct it. SO here is what we know now" Then gives what information is available,
I guess.... he missed the part where the PD changed their story like 5 times. I think that would be considered important if we were investigating non-police. But I guess they get to make stuff up and not lose any credibility somehow. Funny how that works.
My kids would call me way before they would call 911. And let me tell you, I never want to go through that ever, the scariest part about being a parent is worrying about your kids and their safety. If I saw cops just sitting around, I have my own personal tac kit in my car and I’m going in. Period. I know my kids though they would definitely be calling dad, dad always shows up to save the day, not matter what the situation is. And if saving lives mean I may have to do a little time then so be it, I’ll have a clear conscience knowing as father that I did everything I could possibly do. The greatest reward is knowing my kids are alive and safe. Nothing else matters. This response to a Active shooter was a total failure and those cops should have to the chief to fuck himself and just go in anyway.
It wasn't incompetence it was the cowardice of every officer on scene that didn't attempt to stop the children from being murdered, they should all face charges of being accessory to capital murder and be held without bail in general population.
@@thehappyclam3942 I find it hard to believe that it was “cowardice” they had riot shields and ballistic protection. Most people have a moral compass where if your armed you’ll protect children. They chose, not to enter those rooms until he was done, or they got the go ahead.
So heartbreaking. So glad to see you aren't just giving the PD a pass on this one. Those children waited for the "superheroes" (cops) to come and save them, and the "heroes" were too busy being scared in the hallway while their innocent lives were snuffed out one after another. In an event where seconds matter, these idiots waited over an hour. What's even more sickening is they prevented people from going in to help and even arrested them. I'm not a police officer, nor am I paid to put my life on the line, but I would have been rushing in there without a second thought if I was nearby. How could these officers just stand by and let innocent kids get executed because the Chief won't give them the go ahead. One child's life is more important than you getting reprimanded or fired for going against his obviously moronic instruction. These cops HAD to have known it was stupidity to wait.
Man, you made me cry with that superhero part. It got to the most inner heart pain! And yes you are so right. They were waiting for their super heroes that never showed up.
I agree with what u said except for the part where you would've rushed in. Highly doubt. At first I was on the cops side ( I thought the cops on scene were just the average pistol and taser carrying officers, so i kind of understood why they would be scared, and I didnt know they took over an hour to stop the guy) but god damn way to drop the fucking ball. No kid should fear in school, no cop should wait to put his life on the line.
@@yasmellrodriguez2632 If I heard a shooter, and there were no cops on site yet, and I was armed, yes I would have went in and done everything I could to stop the shooter, even if it meant death. I wouldnt even think twice. To me the lives of multiple children is more valuable than my own.
@@guitarskooter sorry man but its extremely easy to say that when youre not in that situation. Won't take your word for it. Maybe if you were a parent of one of the children I'd be more inclined to believe it :/
The most shocking thing to me is the fact the school classroom doors are unable to be locked from the inside. That seems like a massive oversight in school security.
It's crazy that in the US you even have to think about security in schools. I don't think anyone in Germany would even think about building a school with any kind of security in place
@nilsbottjer7129 a person who does not care anymore will choose a place you think is safe. It's going to happen, just when and you will understand. Shit sucks
“A flawed plan executed violently against an active shooter immediately beats a perfect plan executed 10 minutes later every time” ABSOLUTELY 100% agree
I was a Reserve Deputy for thirty years including the Columbine shooting. I marveled at what a cluster fuck it was, and wht the Officers waited so long to make entry. I made the personal decision that if I was ever faced with such a situation, I would make entry and try to stop the killing, REGARDLESS OF ANY ORDERS TO THE CONTRARY. My moral code would not permit me to do otherwise. As as officer, I was sworn to protect innocent citizens, and I fully intended to do that, even if it meant risking my life. Thank you for outlining what happened. Guess it really is true about people rising until they meet and surpass their own level of incompetence. Question, how this this chief manage to get promoted to his position when so incompetent?
7 vs. 1 with ballistic shields was more than favorable odds. I think this chief should be investigated to see if he had any connections with the shooter or groups that could've supported the shooter. There's no way this is sheer incompetence
Dude, why would you even ask? These were good cops doing exactly what cops do. Protecting themselves and serving their comrades. They'll escalate a traffic stop so they can beat the fuck out of an unarmed, not resisting citizen, but they're not going to risk their lives trying to stop a shooter lol. There will be no charges. Many will get promoted. Many will kill unarmed citizens in the future (after escalating a simple traffic stop) and be promoted for it. These are cops. This was standard cop behaviour. Their job is not to protect and serve you. That's just a marketing slogan.
@@Aethelhald I assume u haven’t watched many of donuts other videos. Not all cops are like this. Sadly this department were full of inept people and it costed lives.
Arredondo(On scene commander) was just placed on administrative leave, can't believe it didn't happen already. Another good video bro glad to get a condensed version I can send to other people well explaining this shit Edit: A lot of people here still have no clue what's going on and a short video is great at helping me show them. I've already shared it with a dozen people who never knew anything about this who are no doubt due to share it with more. I am furious about this whole shit but also very surprised about the amount of people even in our own town that have no clue what transpired.
I believe they also gave him a seat on city council or something the night after this. Not sure if they rescinded their offer or if he’s also now in charge of more stuff
13:04 idk what the cop is thinking. Yes the rounds are different size, and the AR are more deadlier. But a gun is still a gun that could still eliminate a target.
Indoors especially. Without body armor, pistols even have an advantage indoors, due to their reduced bulk and greater maneuverability, which is why special forces units for hostage rescue use compact submachineguns for indoor clearing.
Watching this in 2024 after the chief has been charged with 10 counts of abandoning a child/child endangerment and criminal negligence. Still ridiculously despicable and sickening. I cannot believe this happened. As a parent, I would’ve grabbed someone’s weapon and charged in without hesitation. If you’re too pussy and can’t handle the risk involved with being a police officer, DONT BE A POLICE OFFICER.
Breakdown: law Enforcement failed, schools failed, and bureacracyhas failed to allow the truth to prevail. In short, all the government has made everything worse, harder, and more expensive
The government also comes to pick up your garbage, provides fire protection and rescues, EMS, provides police protection (subjective in Uvalde though), and many other services. Saying that I don't totally disagree with you, you make a good point.
@@Thunderbyrd. The government doesn't provide garbage, fire protection and rescues, EMS, or police protection, rather, those are municipal, and typically run by towns instead of any state entity.
@@Thunderbyrd. I'm in Baltimore. My government doesn't do any of that... But more to the point, these things were done better, before government got involved. (Funding, incentives, bureacracy,etc)
But to be frank, they will be always a government Like law enforcement Remove the law = no government = chaos = building a new government = Corruption = backlash = Remove the law, it's a full circle, it's just a sad thing in this society
Prior Air Force Security Forces here. In active assailant training (RUclips friendly) we were taught to go in. Don't wait for swat. Don't wait for authorization. Go in. If you didn't immediately hear gunfire you cleared rooms. If you heard gunfire you went straight to it. At least that's what we were taught. I wasn't in uvalde and I thankfully never had to respond to an active assailant. Personally I can't Monday morning quarterback but what happened there was shameful. Edit 2024: thanks for the likes. I was not expecting this.
Its a totally different animal... its a lot easier to turn off and get to work when children arent involved... youd hate to be the guy that got overzealous and accidentally clipped a kid. Failure to act is inexcusable but yeah... different ballpark for sure. The incompetence in uvalde seemed almost manufactured...
My training was not to policing but infantry work. This is text book and I mean text book a situation where violence of action would work. 6 to 1 guys.......fuck
Thanks for presenting this. I taught Tactical Response to the Active Shooter the last two years before I retired from the Bureau and when I heard the first details of this utter fiasco I suspected that an Admin had prevented the responding Officers from pursuing the Shooter and eliminating him as our training taught. This is one instance where I don't enjoy being right.
Police are cowards. Even sergeant admitted that police were scared. You're a coward if you cannot do a job you signed up for f off. No one forced you to sign up
@@wlonsdale1 Without a doubt. All of these types of shootings. That kid knew nothing about firearms yet selects specific top rated rifles and optics. Who helped him assemble the rifles, Who helped him sight in the optics and sights? Who showed him how to operate the rifle? He did not do this on his own,
The families of the victims should sue the police department for the wrongful death of their loved ones. What a horrible tragedy. How the Chief and police officers could stand in the hallway and let the shooter kill children is beyond my comprehension. What incompetence and cowardice. Truly disgusting.
When I was in the army, people often asked me why I told a lot of soldiers to leave. Not to find their motivation. Not to fake it until their contract is up only to sign another with a bonus. Not to lie to themselves and say it will get better eventually. To either do their soul searching right now, and find it, or get out. I was an infantryman. My job, was to go to other countries and murder people who intended the US and her citizens harm. To protect others by doing and being capable of unimaginable evils and bearing indescribable pain. To face death daily and not just say, but truly understand that every hour could be my last. To find solace in that I'm doing it because I can and so that others don't have to. This travesty is why. Cops are there so people who can't defend themselves have someone they can look to for protection. Men and women who answer a call to serve their peers, to place the lives of others above their own, and serve their communities as protectors and role models. Not people who are there to collect a check each couple of weeks. Not people who are there so they can wear the team jacket/jersey to say they're on it. Not cowards who let fear determine their actions. When you place people who are either incapable or unwilling to make sacrifices for the lives of others, or are just unmotivated to do the right thing, people die. In the best case scenarios, both as a cop or as an infantryman you get yourself killed. In the worst case, like what happened here, you get other people killed. I hope that chief, and every one of the cops who knowingly sat back and did nothing have a nice life. I hope whatever peace they find to justify their actions to themselves, is worth it. I hope the weight of all of that innocent blood on their hands, doesn't ruin whatever sense of self respect or dignity they have. The lives that were lost there are lesson enough. It is all of our duty to remember this painful lesson, or we risk repeating it.
There needs to be a heart react instead of just a thumbs up. Cause I loved this and agree 1000%. You hit the nail right on the head. I hope they can live with themselves knowing they allowed this guy to go and kill these kids, while they just stood there and twiddled their thumbs. They not only let themselves, team mates and community down. They let the entire nation down by not charging ahead and stopping a national tragedy.
Respect man and you’re still a infantrymen it’s the mindset not if your in or not it’s what you would do and sacrifice for any random person on the street to protect them and give your all to help them if necessary if that’s killing a armed suspect or rendering first aid in a situation like this. I have never been to combat myself but I know many that have and I have the upmost respect for my leaders that would lead me into battle. I have learned a lot in my 3 years in the Army as a 11c and I am proud to say I would put any persons life over my own if necessary do I look for war no but if it’s what’s needed I would fight to my last breathe of air to defend anyone. Hope you have a peaceful rest of your life and stay safe brother🤙🏼
I heard the pain in your voice when you had to mention a sponsor in this video, we understand that youtube doesnt like paying people who tell the facts, we appreciate what youve done spreading the facts of the case!
I just wanna say mad respect to the school resource officer. Even though he got the wrong guy, this dude saw what he thought was the shooter, and with no hesitation drove across the field at 50 MPH to help save these kids. I only wish he got the right guy.
I wouldn't lionize the school resource officer just yet. Why wasn't he in the school when the shootings began? I would think his presence would be automatic and part of his duty. Why weren't the exterior doors locked. I'd think that regular patrolling to verify the doors were locked would be another part of his duty. Those kinds of duties are ones you don't wait someone to assign to you if you're the school resource officer -- they're duties you just execute whether anyone else thinks of them or not because your job is to maximize the physical safety of everyone in the school.
@@max6325974 because she's got more balls then any of those worthless cops do, and to the cops, they would of rather her children die in that school along with the rest, then make them look bad by doing their job for them 🤦🏻♂️
@dookie fingers your delusional if you think anyone would think that a mother going in to save her children because the cops didn’t ends up dying because of it that people would call her ignorant … she’d still be a hero. It’s the most unselfish act of it it all … it’s almost like you didn’t watch this video and see how much of a fuck up they were this day ..
I graduated high school in 2015. The entire time I was in school, every window by every exterior door was thick and had mesh in it; every exterior door that had a window on it was thick and had mesh on it; every door that led to the outside of the building had a very loud alarm that would go off regardless if the door was locked or unlocked, the only way to open the door without the alarm going off was a special key to the side of each door on the inside of the building that would disable the alarm; every door that led to the outside of the school was locked, security would check the doors on rounds, and the main office was able to tell if an exterior door was unlocked and open, and whether the alarm for that door was sounding. I recently stopped back up at the same school to talk to one of my old teachers. Before you get into the building, you have to be buzzed in by a police officer. Once you're inside the first set of doors, you're locked in there until the officer opens the second set of doors, leading to metal dectectors and a kiosk where you must sign in, be photographed, and provide ID. Only then are you allowed into the main office where you wait for whatever it is you're there for. What boggles my mind is after Sandy Hook happened years ago, of all things, why weren't the fucking doors locked. Hearing there were seven officers not only at the school, but INSIDE the school, shows this was handled beyond poorly. That chief of police needs removed, and he needs to be liable in anyway shape or form that can be done.
It's crazy how different our schools are. I graduated in 2018, but went back in 2019 and early 2020 to visit a teacher after school got out. I had a guitar case that could very well have been a gun case to someone that didn't know the difference. I just walked in through the open doors, no teachers asked me anything. At the time I didn't think much of it, but with these shootings seemingly becoming more and more prevalent it makes me think. Obviously I would never even think of hurting anyone, but someone else could have very easily just walked in and done some harm. Scary shit.
I really appreciate the coverage, because so much of what I've seen up to this point is just gut reactions and people throwing accusations around at anything and anyone they want, according to their own agenda. What I wanted to know is what happened, who was involved, and what exactly led to the situation becoming as bad as it was. I have a much better idea of that thanks to you.
Iv just one thing to say... If that chief had a kid in that school... especially that class room....we would not be having this discussion......those cops would have been in immediately.
Yeah unlike cod you don’t respawn but they took an oath to protect and serve this is an absolute fuck fest of impotence shame some shouldn’t of took this job
@@desertsmeagol7073 those weren’t really first responders Those are when the entered the building They coulda prevented multiple injuries and deaths if they manned the fuck up and went in there like they are trained to
I was a manger at Walmart, I always had my radio because it’s part of the job, and mine wasn’t life or death, that was such a bad situation due to a chief being an idiot, you always protect the kids, keeping the cops from doing what they are trained for is stupid, just recently found doughnut, you are a real G, I’m loving the rabbit hole journey so far
That was the first time seeing the inside of the school for me . The gut punch I felt seeing the walls painted like they were makes it even more insane that people could stand outside and do nothing
Thank you, Donut!! I believe your point of view is important for people to hear. I have sent this to many people, and hope they get a true idea of the events. The work you do is important, and I, for one, appreciate it.
I've been putting off watching the long stream until literally just now and I go to your channel to find you have created a shortened version. Perfect timing
This situation was horrific and shitshow but this hearing proves it was much worse. The prevention of parents to rescue their own children makes this shooting even worse. Thanks Donut.
Thank you I was saying the same thing. There’s no way on God’s green earth I could ever look my wife or kids in the eyes again. I couldn’t face myself in the mirror.
We protect our casinos with guns We protect our banks with guns We protect our president with guns We protect our courts with guns We protect our children with *signs*
we shouldnt need to protect children with guns, literally making up a problem no other country faces. If you dont know why we protect banks and the president, thats very sad. might as well start having armed gaurds at minority grocery stores and bars as well. we need gun reform
@@ilovecommunism4105 we have gun laws already in place to prevent stuff and they don't work... I wonder why. DO NOT blame guns for shit like this. It's 100% the person and the government is to blame. The families are at fault too.
Actually other countries have school shootings too. As well as mass stabbings at schools. Do research. And don’t blame the guns. Also mass killings with vehicles. And explosives. Do research and don’t blame the guns.
I'm otherwise very pro LEO. But everybody on scene and especially the Chief should be fired and never allowed to work in law enforcement again. What kind of person can listen to children being killed... AND DO NOTHING!
They should be fired, lose their pensions, not be allowed to get another government job or get jobs around children. They should be absolutely crucified for this.
@@kx250fforlife Uh huh. And who would ever want to be a cop if that was how a community dealt with tragedy? Mistakes were certainly made. Destroying the lives of everyone involved is not a reasonable way to prevent it from happening again.
@@SharkVsTree There's making mistakes, then there's being cowards and doing more to stop the parents than the person actively killing kids literally just down the hall.
I just want to say this is an impressive video to put together and I know a lot of editing was done to get this to a 25 minute information packed video, which I know is valuable to a lot of people who don't know what's going on and can't watch 9 hours of court footage, thanks 🍩
The school I had went to from pre-k to 10th always went into lockdown anytime we had a police chase, police showing up within a 2 miles of the school including search/arrest warrants. Anytime there’s police involved with a suspect within 2-5 miles of a school, that school should go into lockdown. The police failed in this situation big time though, but the government hasn’t done anything to try to solve this issue except take guns from law abiding citizens.
@@Cyclic420 you have to be 18 to purchase a firearm, they can be obtained by 16 year olds ILLEGALLY. No gun law allows anyone under the age of 18 to purchase or carry a firearm. Guns will be obtained by people who want to do harm no matter what. Stricter Gun laws will only keep law abiding citizens from protecting themselves and their families.
@@ap9186 you're actually incorrect in regards to no law allowing anyone under 18 to carry a firearm. Pennsylvania, and I'd imagine most states, allows hunters under the age of 18 to carry a firearm while hunting or activities related to responsible hunting(such as sighting the rifle in). * The law isn't written as simple as i just summarized it.
@@jonyemm just about any state a minor can operate any firearm, including pistols. but, its illegal for them to possess it without an adult (consenting obviously, the fact that teachers over 21 were there doesnt matter) over 21 present. Also in some states you must have your firearms reasonably secured if a minor is present, meaning they must be in a safe, have those yellow flag locky things in the bolt, or at the bare minimum have them in a locked room.
The parents' horror and pain must be compounded hearing this. I don't know how they are even handling their rage and grief, knowing that their children could have been saved! I don't want to even try to imagine..... I hope that Uvalde police force go down hard!
It gets even worse, after the chief was fired his lawyer issued a statement that "Chief Arredondo will not participate in his own illegal and unconstitutional public lynching and respectfully requests the Board immediately reinstate him, with all backpay and benefits and close the complaint as unfounded"(Pete Arredondo Press Release 08-24-2022, page 17). He failed to perform his duties and then doubled down insisting he did nothing wrong.
Heartbreaking ineptitude. There were probably officers who would have happily stormed that room to save children from an active shooter. As you said, he sounds like admin. Choose better leaders.
Everyone blaming the Chief for his incompetence, whilst apparent "men" stood in the hallway listening to the shots... At this point, if the Chief seems incompetent it should be the responsibility of any person with a gun to get the hell in there. If I was a teacher in America, I would tell everyone to get stuffed and quit...no job is worth this amount of BS and its clear America has some soul searching to do.
@@justinmielsch5924 or just limit the distribution of guns and do a background check which (the back ground check) would probably stop some of those sickening incidents which is also a valid options
@@Mackbro69, I really don't know about back ground checks but getting a gun illegaly must be more difficult since finding contacts to get one has to be hard
This is how we know we are just silly, unserious people. Uvalde has LARPers for cops. Give me, or any one of those parents a gun and they would have taken care of business. What an absolute joke of a response.
@dookie fingers tried to find a way around why not bust a fkn window theres no excuse. They can red flag you and kill you in your sleep but when heres 100 rounds involved they’re pussy
Have you seen the British Cops proudly waiving their pride flags, while the tell child rapist to apologize (community solution) instead of prosecuting them?
It infuriates me that the chief was not charged with anything, he and the shooter are solely responsible for all those children’s death as far as I’m concerned
Instead of trying to sue the manufacturer of the firearm these parents should sue the school/city/police !!! They could have been saved I can’t even get in my kids school to pick them up without going through 4 locked doors and people that identify you .
@@nilsbottjer7129im in canada i wouldnt mine having some the security that the USA has on the school sure i can leave my doors unlocked because of where i live but i still have everything locked down just in case its to be prepared for when shit hits the fan
@@redline1916 We all know it was a ⛳ attack. Can't say it due to YTs Getapo sensor ship. Like how your comment is hiden from view. Can't speak freely or the gruth on here
Even my armed security training says with an active shooter you run towards the gun shots to neutralize the suspect as soon as possible at all cost. So if all I had was a stapler, I would make Milton proud. (Office space) death by stapler!
in war, comms are literally one of the 1st things you establish. not having comms or miscommunication in any situation like this should literally never happen
These cops were packing assault rifles, body armor, and shields and yet they waited one hour, truly sad. This could have been prevented, and many lifes could have been saved
Their patrol vehicles literally have rifles in them, taking the 5-10 minutes to go get one or two beats the 1.5 hrs, this whole fucking thing was sloppy
Generally teachers can lock/unlock their classroom door, and get in some specific doors with a general/classroom key or key card. Main/fire doors can only be made to stay unlocked by a custodian. Some doors don't click closed properly, especially push doors, so they can be opened even if they're locked, especially in the heat. Hopefully this clears up some things about doors. Source: Custodian until Inslee's vaccine mandate last year.
Recently (in the last three days) I heard a news report on Robb Elementary that stated the classroom doors in the school are not able to be locked from the inside. This brought up two questions immediately to me. What constituted the school being considered "locked down", and why did the school system police not seem to know this? In the Texas Senate Hearings it was stated that the school went into lockdown, and several reports stated that LE advised they needed keys to get into the adjoined classrooms. Something does not add up.
@@robertthomas497 Generally classroom doors only have locks on the outside. More of a security measure for restricting access when no one is in the room. My only concern with adding some way to lock the door from the inside is if the teacher themselves were out to harm their students... but I feel like that would be a fair exchange for lockdown safety. Or add electronic locks, idk.

@@rjm8373 I wonder what kind of culture could've formed these two features, maybe the one fostered by the people making up 80 percent of Uvalde's population... these people come to a worthy place built on solid values only to keep their old ways and mentality, even generations after moving in. Be careful with the kind of people you let in, Americans, don't be as naive as we Europeans were.
I understand some of these people might think, "Damn, I could get hurt", and that compels them to wait, but they often forget that they're getting hurt right now. Being shot, especially with body armor, especially so close to first responders, with modern medicine isn't typically lethal. You can in many cases recover from being shot. You won't recover from listening to children die for an hour and thirty minutes.
"Protech (your own ass) and Serve (the needs of politicians)"
So you're saying the Uvalde PD just held the hall while the shooter played duck duck murder? Everyone in that department should be replaced. The chief for being incompetent and the rest of the officers for failure to act.

Sounds like shots fired were at door. But there is a chance a few of those kids might have survived the initial barrage of 100 rounds before cops arrived. Plus they supposedly taught ALICE training but for some reason teachers told kids to play dead which is incredibly stupid.

Listening to how this went down this Chief is a straight CLOWN 🤡 anyone who has been in the military and the police knows on watch/duty first thing you equip is your radio, channel checked. Shit hit the fan and his whole career displayed itself in that moment. Officers in the school should of disobeyed the order. It was lawful to do so. Deal with the paperwork after.
Jesus, this makes me furious to listen to. Back around 2000, I was part of a Canadian federal police unit, that did response to an international airport for alien smuggling and illegal migrants. We were not the police force of jurisdiction in the area of our office. The US Border Patrol called us to say that a violent ex-husband had burned down his ex’s mother’s place and almost killed the mom to find out where his ex was. They were fairly sure he had crossed the border and was heading for us. The ex-wife had been moved to the Canadian headquarters just up the street from our office to get her away from her violent ex. They believed that he had passed through the border about 60 minutes earlier and could be at her office very shortly. I passed the information to the local PD, who said that they’d be there in about 30 minutes. I told my the unit commander, a sergeant, that I was going directly to her office to prevent him entering, until the locals got there. He pointed out that we were not the uniform police of jurisdiction, and that it had nothing to do with us. He was right. He was also wrong.
I told him that if she was getting murdered while I sat on my ass, I couldn’t live with it. I was going. He said ‘No.” I looked him in the eye, said “You know I respect you, but fuck you, I’m going.” I ran to a cruiser, set up by the front door with my sidearm (no, I didn’t have a carbine either) and waited for the local PD to arrive. They got there and tagged me off, and it turned out the crazy ex-husband had been stopped by the local PD elsewhere. Things were a little stiff when I got back to the office, but my boss said he understood what I’d done and it was forgotten.
The job of police officers is to put themselves between the bad guys and innocent people who can’t defend themselves. I’ve had active shooter training, the same as pretty much every cop in North America. I don’t care what the incompetent chief tells you to do - YOU GO IN! And with a roomful of screaming little kids at the mercy of a madman… how can these guys sleep at night?
Need more people like you in LE. Bless you for doing what was right, no matter what.
Good for you man, thank you for sharing. It's amazing to me how there can be that many cowards... not one of 20+ officers had the balls to do what is right. They should all be ashamed. And listen, I believe it's extremely and scary and that they have families as well... well then don't become a cop... despicable.
and then everyone clapped
This is the attitude what we need 👍
That never happened.
"You do what you can or you die trying." Fuckin right brother.
Not if you're a cop you don't. Cops do not have a duty to protect citizens. Courts have agreed this. The whole "protect and serve" thing is just propaganda, marketing.

There was a cop in Canada that stopped a shooter that barricaded himself after shooting 2 people... The cop had a pistol and slid across and got the guy call of duty style....
Sometimes there's men with balls in control and then there are cowards in control... Unfortunately that day we had cowards in control and the kids paid a heavy price for it ..
Those kids paid everything for it...
Where in canada did this happen? I haven't heard of it
"In Canada", Canada is the second largest county in the world. Saying "in Canada" like its some town up north is really unhelpful. Even saying the province means almost nothing either.
On Monday, my school was taking exams and after the first exam was done we went into a lockdown and sat in a corner by the teacher’s desk. About 2-5 minutes in, more or less, the police arrived and started searching the entire school for weapons. Note: A man from Ohio (Only in Ohio.) called the police department saying there was a weapon on campus, police called the school and told them what happened, school goes into lockdown and police arrive. For what feels like an eternity the police get to our room and do a quick sweep, it occurs again about 10 minutes later, except they ask the teacher to open the door, teacher is skeptical, and the police come in and you would not believe the sound of everyone sighing. After about another 15 minutes we get the all clear. And we all go home. I am really glad the police responded really fast and made sure everything was clear. But boy, do I wish the Uvalde police were like these beautiful bastards.
Exactly, idiots like the police here are always shown by the media because the media knows it will stir up hate and other negative things which will then get them more clicks and publicity, and then it makes people have a negative sentiment towards ALL cops, like people are acting like it’s not like all jobs have people that are bad examples, like that’s a given for every job, what do you expect? You don’t see people judge all surgeons when one surgeon is outed for doing something immoral or bad? Like I don’t get it
I had the same thing happen to me in about 2009 2010 at my high-school I went to in Cherokee County Georgia. I was on the bus listening to my ipod and for some reason the busses were lining up but would not let us off the bus. after about a minute I saw a police car drive up the curb and towards the gymnasium from my side of the bus lane just as a kid came running out of the school with about 10 cops chasing him.
We had an on-campus police office at all times, which was great. he was a cool guy.
The suspect had somehow managed to steal an officers gun after being caught trying to sell or trade guns in one of the bathrooms. As far as I know he never managed to shot though.
I've never seen so many cops dog-pile a guy, while barricading him with cars.
They did not care if they messed up their cruisers going up the huge curbs or if the guy shot one of them, as long as we were safe. The response was so fast too I didn't know anything was going on until the cops already had it taken care of.
This all happened around the time frame of my bus pulling into the school, having to drive a complete circle around the school the the bus lane, and then stopping because someone told the busses shit was going down.
we then all piled into the Gymnasium after as a swat team combed the school with dogs. After about 15 min or so of that they gave the all clear and we went home.
I never felt in danger at any point.
It both breaks my heart and is rage inducing to see the sheer incompetence and cowardice of the police in the Unvalde incident. This is ridiculous.
No lie, I was on the skeet/trap team in high school. We practiced after school and kept our guns locked in our cars so we could go straight to the center. So did our coach, Mr. Northcut. This was actually approved by the district. Had to keep them in locked cases in locked cars, but still, that would be crazy now.
Every police officer on site should feel like a POS. A mom hopped the fence, went into the school without body armor and unarmed, grabbed her kids and left.
Too bad she wasn’t armed.
This all after she was detained and someone helped her get out of it.
Cops would have confiscated her gun. We can’t be trusted to protect ourselves. That’s what the police are for.
who would win, a team of trained, armored, armed to the teeth professional killers with decades of vigorous training and mounted on a landmine-resistant troop carrier or mom
maybe we should have a force of armed people who are trained to stop the shooters.
just my 2 cents

Well... Dismissing the fact that this was, and I'm sorry to say, just another false flag orchestrated psyop, we have the supreme court to thank for this. Multiple times they have ruled that the Police have no duty to protect anyone but themselves. See DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, Warren v. District of Columbia. It's happened before, it'll continue to happen again.

My cousin was tasked with participating in an investigation of what happened in Uvalde. It seriously fucked with him mentally. He came back to San Antonio a much angrier man than he was before. He doesn’t talk about it at all, and whenever someone brings it up in conversation, he almost immediately finds an excuse to leave the room.

My favorite part is when one of the cops made sure to use hand sanitizer (!?) as he just stood there with the other officers twiddling their thumbs. Anyone who is scared for their life in an adrenaline appropriate situation would not think for one second about using hand sanitizer at a time like that, just one example of the poor response

Donut, the chief actully said that he felt that radios carried on the persons of officers would be a hindered and he did not carry a radio nor did he want his officers to carry one on the duty belts. I am a ex police officer from a small town in Texas and I carried a radio on my duty belt and this was back in the early 1990's.

Held accountable? Yes. He should immediately be barred from any LEO position for the rest of his life.
Charged with murder? Not really. Incompetence doesn’t mean malice. Dude already has to live the rest of his life knowing his inaction (and wrong actions) caused the deaths of multiple people, with many of them being kids.

The commanding officer should be up on charges of negligence at a minimum. I hope the parents sue. Many of the murders could have been prevented. There is ZERO excuse for this level of incompetence.
I hope the State prosecutes.
The Supreme Court has already ruled in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services in 1989 and Castle Rock v. Gonzales in 2005 that the state/law enforcement has no legal obligation/duty to save your life, and I doubt that will change any time soon with the current Supreme Court. And with how Texas defines negligent homicide, it would be very difficult to prove that an officer had such an extreme level of indifference that it rose to a criminal rather than a disciplinary level.
Even a civil case would be very difficult to win due to sovereign and qualified immunity, and how Texas handles liability. Even if families were able to establish liability, Texas law divides damages based on who is most responsible, and in this case, it is obviously the shooter. This would extremely lower the damages awarded to the plaintiffs, if they even won their case.
He should be brought up on charges of negligent homicide. Even, aiding & abetting a shooter in the commission of a multi fatality crime.

This reminds me of the Sewol Ferry incident. Hundreds of people stuck on a ship (that had NO business being out on the water - would overload their cargo, not have anything strapped down, drained of most of the ballast water, added extra floor at top of ship to accommodate an art exhibit with marble walls) as it sunk. PS, the canal they sunk in was known for its dangerous conditions and they chose it to shave 7ish minutes from their arrival time. The nightshift guy in charge of steering turned the wheel 15 degrees (this specific boat knew they were only allowed to turn up to 5 degrees) and the ship almost immediately began to list 45 degrees. Authorities are called, teams are sent…but, somehow, “rescue” doesn’t know there are hundreds of people on board. Essentially only 172 out of 476 people survived that day. But it wasn’t thanks to the officials sent to help. The Coast Guard at the time (they were disbanded due to the incident and reformed later) were mostly there to keep civilians from entering the water and (this part is infuriating) enjoyed ramen together before with their superiors before said superiors went for interviews with the press to say most of the people on the ship were saved - the number of rescues varied as time went on. Meanwhile, parents of a group of high school children were watching the ship sink before their eyes, as the couple of Coast Guard rescue boats circled it. No one was being saved.
The first group rescued included the ship’s Captain - I’d like to say he didn’t get the memo that he’s supposed to stay and supervise, but he made sure to change into some regular clothes, neglecting to tell the rescue team that there’s anyone else on board. He’s known as piece of scum #1 in my book.
However, despite that, literally all of South Korea knew this was one of the typical vessels that takes customers from Seoul (specifically Incheon) to Jeju Island…plus the phone calls to 119 (their 911) were actively being told that there were hundreds of passengers. The Coast Guard said they weren’t aware of passengers beyond the few they saved. Beyond that, the US reached out to the President to offer aid but was refused because they said they got this. Yeah, you read it right, they turned down an assist from a ship that had over 4000 people trained in rescuing under circumstances as tragic as this - all over pride.
From there Coast Guard officers simply sat around waiting for orders - essentially saying, we’ll do something when so-and-so does.
Rescues and recoveries were eventually done by regular citizens. Only 3 members of the ship’s crew stayed behind to save passengers.
But that’s not the worst of it. The whole time the “rescue” efforts went on, the passengers are listening to a PA system telling everything’s fine, to “stay in their rooms”…and they listen. The life jackets on board were YEARS past inspection - a recording recovered later had a student pointing out the year and commenting on how they looked.
Many recovered recordings are heart-wrenching as the students go from mild concern, to joking about death (essentially acting out how they’re in the Titanic), to panic, to acceptance. Many called or messaged their families to apologize for their sins, one said “don’t let my sibling go on a trip and end up like me” - paraphrased due to it originally being said in Korean.
Out of 250 students, on what was an annual trip every class was excited for, 72 returned. Many would later tell others that their greatest sin was coming out alive. The teacher who’d organized the event, but wasn’t able to go with them, later took his own life from the guilt of not protecting the children. The chaperones who went also had tragic stories.
The three crew that stayed. One, a young woman that refused to leave with the rest and was last seen by a student she’d rescued to go find more survivors was later found by divers. The other two, a couple that were excited planning a wedding. None of them survived.
Even the citizen divers faced life-long injuries and some lost their lives to the dangerous conditions within the ship.
And all of this over people, who should have protected these passengers, but chose their own pride. No one wanted the backlash that might come out of it if they tried and failed…so they let others make the choice for them. They later started a blame-game as everyone was like “I may not have done what you say, but such-and-such didn’t do ____”. It was, honestly, the most ridiculous and childish thing I’ve seen a group of adults do. No one wanted accountability for their actions - meanwhile the victims’ families and friends were suffering, blaming themselves for what their loved ones went through. Many ended their own lives due to their own guilt or from the pressures the public - for instance, the teacher that organized the trip had been harassed by the press and people, leading to his mentioned exit. In my opinion, he deserved better.
You can get better details from Rotten Mango on RUclips (they have a podcast too).
The main point is, much like was happened to the people on the Sewol ferry that terrible day, things could have gone much differently if the Chief had just neutralized the threat. If those who were in charge during this shooting actually stepped up (whether to their superior doing nothing or to the challenger hand) and took care of things ASAP. They even refused aid from those more qualified!
Needless to say, those kids could’ve been saved - in BOTH situations.

5:09 Donut, that was my understanding. That regardless of backup, law enforcement immediately goes in and neutralizes the threat. Officers or a officer should have given the chief the middle finger and entered the school to engage the shooter. I don’t make it a habit talking about my past to anyone and especially on a social media platform but this incident has really pissed me off. Being a Marine combat vet, I know there are such things as unlawful orders and I’m not equating the UCMJ to law enforcement agencies but that moral standard remains true. There is no doubt in my mind that I would have entered the school and engaged the shooter, with or without backup.
Semper Fi
I'm just a civilian, not a trained Marine like you, but I like to think I would have done the same, live or die.
My thoughts exactly.
Damned straight, I am just a civvie but I would have gone in and engaged the shooter, I'd rather him shoot at me than murder children. Every bullet fired in my direction is one less to use on a child and gives time for kids to escape and law enforcement to get there to take the fucker out.
If my boy were trapped in that school, I would have gladly gone down in an effort to save him. Nothing short of lethal force would stop me, and that would've made this a much more tragic story. "Cowardly police execute father trying to save his son" and nobody could tell me that I'm wrong for it.

I know my kids though they would definitely be calling dad, dad always shows up to save the day, not matter what the situation is.
And if saving lives mean I may have to do a little time then so be it, I’ll have a clear conscience knowing as father that I did everything I could possibly do. The greatest reward is knowing my kids are alive and safe. Nothing else matters.
This response to a Active shooter was a total failure and those cops should have to the chief to fuck himself and just go in anyway.
I just honestly can’t believe how incompetent the scene commander was.
It was intentional. Accessory to murder.
It wasn't incompetence it was the cowardice of every officer on scene that didn't attempt to stop the children from being murdered, they should all face charges of being accessory to capital murder and be held without bail in general population.

So heartbreaking. So glad to see you aren't just giving the PD a pass on this one. Those children waited for the "superheroes" (cops) to come and save them, and the "heroes" were too busy being scared in the hallway while their innocent lives were snuffed out one after another. In an event where seconds matter, these idiots waited over an hour. What's even more sickening is they prevented people from going in to help and even arrested them. I'm not a police officer, nor am I paid to put my life on the line, but I would have been rushing in there without a second thought if I was nearby. How could these officers just stand by and let innocent kids get executed because the Chief won't give them the go ahead. One child's life is more important than you getting reprimanded or fired for going against his obviously moronic instruction. These cops HAD to have known it was stupidity to wait.
I bet most of the cops on scene would have rushed him if it was not for the chief
Man, you made me cry with that superhero part. It got to the most inner heart pain! And yes you are so right. They were waiting for their super heroes that never showed up.
I agree with what u said except for the part where you would've rushed in. Highly doubt. At first I was on the cops side ( I thought the cops on scene were just the average pistol and taser carrying officers, so i kind of understood why they would be scared, and I didnt know they took over an hour to stop the guy) but god damn way to drop the fucking ball.

The most shocking thing to me is the fact the school classroom doors are unable to be locked from the inside. That seems like a massive oversight in school security.
Wouldn't that have a huge potential of backfiring? What if the shooter locks himself in the room with the children and then starts shooting?
@@defaultytuserif the shooter is already in the room with children i doubt that they will live.

@nilsbottjer7129 a person who does not care anymore will choose a place you think is safe. It's going to happen, just when and you will understand. Shit sucks
@@defaultytuser They would need to get into the room in the first place. If that happens then the lock wouldn't have done anything in the first place.
“A flawed plan executed violently against an active shooter immediately beats a perfect plan executed 10 minutes later every time” ABSOLUTELY 100% agree
Thats from swat training

Umm...he's literally just rehashing everything that everyone knew the day after.
I was a Reserve Deputy for thirty years including the Columbine shooting. I marveled at what a cluster fuck it was, and wht the Officers waited so long to make entry. I made the personal decision that if I was ever faced with such a situation, I would make entry and try to stop the killing, REGARDLESS OF ANY ORDERS TO THE CONTRARY. My moral code would not permit me to do otherwise. As as officer, I was sworn to protect innocent citizens, and I fully intended to do that, even if it meant risking my life.
Thank you for outlining what happened. Guess it really is true about people rising until they meet and surpass their own level of incompetence. Question, how this this chief manage to get promoted to his position when so incompetent?
What secret societies did the chief attend, smells like a rat?
politics
@@mightymikethebear Sadly so, I have more hatred for the chief and cops who didn't disobey and go in then I do for the shooter
I’m trying to figure that shit out too,
7 vs. 1 with ballistic shields was more than favorable odds. I think this chief should be investigated to see if he had any connections with the shooter or groups that could've supported the shooter. There's no way this is sheer incompetence
its a small town in texas. there is a high chance its sheer incompetence.
7? Maybe at first. There were 376 officers from multiple agencies within and hr, following this cheif's orders. Its despicable
High up Democrat gun grabbers in his ear telling him to hold back.
They wanted a Massacre, they always do, suits their political intentions.
Don’t be a conspiratorial idiot.
Look higher up than that. Look at the federal level.
So, half a year has passed by. I know the officer in charge quit his job and went in to hiding, but are there any charges filed?
Nope
Yeah no and probably never will be. I hate to say it but bad cops in America are far too protected.
Dude, why would you even ask? These were good cops doing exactly what cops do. Protecting themselves and serving their comrades. They'll escalate a traffic stop so they can beat the fuck out of an unarmed, not resisting citizen, but they're not going to risk their lives trying to stop a shooter lol.
There will be no charges. Many will get promoted. Many will kill unarmed citizens in the future (after escalating a simple traffic stop) and be promoted for it. These are cops. This was standard cop behaviour. Their job is not to protect and serve you. That's just a marketing slogan.
@@Aethelhald I assume u haven’t watched many of donuts other videos. Not all cops are like this. Sadly this department were full of inept people and it costed lives.
@@Aethelhald oh yikes
Arredondo(On scene commander) was just placed on administrative leave, can't believe it didn't happen already.
Another good video bro glad to get a condensed version I can send to other people well explaining this shit
Edit: A lot of people here still have no clue what's going on and a short video is great at helping me show them. I've already shared it with a dozen people who never knew anything about this who are no doubt due to share it with more. I am furious about this whole shit but also very surprised about the amount of people even in our own town that have no clue what transpired.
You explained your edit. You must be a redditor 😉
I believe they also gave him a seat on city council or something the night after this. Not sure if they rescinded their offer or if he’s also now in charge of more stuff
The chief supports anti gun traitor Beto who literally said he's coming for the guns of law abiding citizens.
13:04 idk what the cop is thinking. Yes the rounds are different size, and the AR are more deadlier. But a gun is still a gun that could still eliminate a target.
Indoors especially. Without body armor, pistols even have an advantage indoors, due to their reduced bulk and greater maneuverability, which is why special forces units for hostage rescue use compact submachineguns for indoor clearing.
I can't imagine the fear those precious babies felt. My heart aches for all the families!
It's hard for me to watch this
Watching this in 2024 after the chief has been charged with 10 counts of abandoning a child/child endangerment and criminal negligence. Still ridiculously despicable and sickening. I cannot believe this happened. As a parent, I would’ve grabbed someone’s weapon and charged in without hesitation. If you’re too pussy and can’t handle the risk involved with being a police officer, DONT BE A POLICE OFFICER.
Breakdown: law Enforcement failed, schools failed, and bureacracyhas failed to allow the truth to prevail.
In short, all the government has made everything worse, harder, and more expensive
The government also comes to pick up your garbage, provides fire protection and rescues, EMS, provides police protection (subjective in Uvalde though), and many other services. Saying that I don't totally disagree with you, you make a good point.
@@Thunderbyrd. The government doesn't provide garbage, fire protection and rescues, EMS, or police protection, rather, those are municipal, and typically run by towns instead of any state entity.
@@Thunderbyrd. I'm in Baltimore. My government doesn't do any of that... But more to the point, these things were done better, before government got involved. (Funding, incentives, bureacracy,etc)
But to be frank, they will be always a government
Like law enforcement
Remove the law = no government = chaos = building a new government = Corruption = backlash = Remove the law, it's a full circle, it's just a sad thing in this society
And then they scapegoat gun our gun rights off the back of their failure
Prior Air Force Security Forces here. In active assailant training (RUclips friendly) we were taught to go in. Don't wait for swat. Don't wait for authorization. Go in.
If you didn't immediately hear gunfire you cleared rooms. If you heard gunfire you went straight to it.
At least that's what we were taught. I wasn't in uvalde and I thankfully never had to respond to an active assailant. Personally I can't Monday morning quarterback but what happened there was shameful.
Edit 2024: thanks for the likes. I was not expecting this.
Its a totally different animal... its a lot easier to turn off and get to work when children arent involved... youd hate to be the guy that got overzealous and accidentally clipped a kid. Failure to act is inexcusable but yeah... different ballpark for sure. The incompetence in uvalde seemed almost manufactured...
My training was not to policing but infantry work. This is text book and I mean text book a situation where violence of action would work. 6 to 1 guys.......fuck
@@g00gleisgayerthanaids56 Because it was.
Thanks for presenting this. I taught Tactical Response to the Active Shooter the last two years before I retired from the Bureau and when I heard the first details of this utter fiasco I suspected that an Admin had prevented the responding Officers from pursuing the Shooter and eliminating him as our training taught. This is one instance where I don't enjoy being right.
Police are cowards. Even sergeant admitted that police were scared. You're a coward if you cannot do a job you signed up for f off. No one forced you to sign up
I think the bureau has dirty hands in this. Like Jan 6th
@@wlonsdale1
Without a doubt. All of these types of shootings. That kid knew nothing about firearms yet selects specific top rated rifles and optics. Who helped him assemble the rifles, Who helped him sight in the optics and sights? Who showed him how to operate the rifle? He did not do this on his own,
Have you ever done any of those things? They aren't difficult and you can find how to do it all in books and youtube....@@wilsonrawlin8547
The families of the victims should sue the police department for the wrongful death of their loved ones. What a horrible tragedy. How the Chief and police officers could stand in the hallway and let the shooter kill children is beyond my comprehension. What incompetence and cowardice. Truly disgusting.
When I was in the army, people often asked me why I told a lot of soldiers to leave. Not to find their motivation. Not to fake it until their contract is up only to sign another with a bonus. Not to lie to themselves and say it will get better eventually. To either do their soul searching right now, and find it, or get out. I was an infantryman. My job, was to go to other countries and murder people who intended the US and her citizens harm. To protect others by doing and being capable of unimaginable evils and bearing indescribable pain. To face death daily and not just say, but truly understand that every hour could be my last. To find solace in that I'm doing it because I can and so that others don't have to.
This travesty is why.
Cops are there so people who can't defend themselves have someone they can look to for protection. Men and women who answer a call to serve their peers, to place the lives of others above their own, and serve their communities as protectors and role models. Not people who are there to collect a check each couple of weeks. Not people who are there so they can wear the team jacket/jersey to say they're on it. Not cowards who let fear determine their actions. When you place people who are either incapable or unwilling to make sacrifices for the lives of others, or are just unmotivated to do the right thing, people die. In the best case scenarios, both as a cop or as an infantryman you get yourself killed. In the worst case, like what happened here, you get other people killed.
I hope that chief, and every one of the cops who knowingly sat back and did nothing have a nice life. I hope whatever peace they find to justify their actions to themselves, is worth it. I hope the weight of all of that innocent blood on their hands, doesn't ruin whatever sense of self respect or dignity they have. The lives that were lost there are lesson enough. It is all of our duty to remember this painful lesson, or we risk repeating it.
There needs to be a heart react instead of just a thumbs up. Cause I loved this and agree 1000%. You hit the nail right on the head. I hope they can live with themselves knowing they allowed this guy to go and kill these kids, while they just stood there and twiddled their thumbs. They not only let themselves, team mates and community down. They let the entire nation down by not charging ahead and stopping a national tragedy.
Respect man and you’re still a infantrymen it’s the mindset not if your in or not it’s what you would do and sacrifice for any random person on the street to protect them and give your all to help them if necessary if that’s killing a armed suspect or rendering first aid in a situation like this. I have never been to combat myself but I know many that have and I have the upmost respect for my leaders that would lead me into battle. I have learned a lot in my 3 years in the Army as a 11c and I am proud to say I would put any persons life over my own if necessary do I look for war no but if it’s what’s needed I would fight to my last breathe of air to defend anyone. Hope you have a peaceful rest of your life and stay safe brother🤙🏼

@Running Commentary Inc. i already did lol, i got the black hat, wbu
I just wanna say mad respect to the school resource officer. Even though he got the wrong guy, this dude saw what he thought was the shooter, and with no hesitation drove across the field at 50 MPH to help save these kids. I only wish he got the right guy.
Sounds like he did more than the several armed police which were already there.
I wouldn't lionize the school resource officer just yet. Why wasn't he in the school when the shootings began? I would think his presence would be automatic and part of his duty. Why weren't the exterior doors locked. I'd think that regular patrolling to verify the doors were locked would be another part of his duty. Those kinds of duties are ones you don't wait someone to assign to you if you're the school resource officer -- they're duties you just execute whether anyone else thinks of them or not because your job is to maximize the physical safety of everyone in the school.
SHORT VERSION 😭 It suck’s that you can say that as a Texan we ALL are ashamed of Uvaldes response time
The bravest person in this scenario was the mother who busted through a window and got her two kids! The rest are suspect at best.
And now cops are reportedly harassing her.
Don’t forget the ICE agent
@@max6325974 because she's got more balls then any of those worthless cops do, and to the cops, they would of rather her children die in that school along with the rest, then make them look bad by doing their job for them 🤦🏻♂️
@dookie fingers your delusional if you think anyone would think that a mother going in to save her children because the cops didn’t ends up dying because of it that people would call her ignorant … she’d still be a hero. It’s the most unselfish act of it it all … it’s almost like you didn’t watch this video and see how much of a fuck up they were this day ..
what a dumb comment. She was brave no matter what happened. especially after the useless cops detained her
I graduated high school in 2015. The entire time I was in school, every window by every exterior door was thick and had mesh in it; every exterior door that had a window on it was thick and had mesh on it; every door that led to the outside of the building had a very loud alarm that would go off regardless if the door was locked or unlocked, the only way to open the door without the alarm going off was a special key to the side of each door on the inside of the building that would disable the alarm; every door that led to the outside of the school was locked, security would check the doors on rounds, and the main office was able to tell if an exterior door was unlocked and open, and whether the alarm for that door was sounding.
I recently stopped back up at the same school to talk to one of my old teachers. Before you get into the building, you have to be buzzed in by a police officer. Once you're inside the first set of doors, you're locked in there until the officer opens the second set of doors, leading to metal dectectors and a kiosk where you must sign in, be photographed, and provide ID. Only then are you allowed into the main office where you wait for whatever it is you're there for.
What boggles my mind is after Sandy Hook happened years ago, of all things, why weren't the fucking doors locked. Hearing there were seven officers not only at the school, but INSIDE the school, shows this was handled beyond poorly. That chief of police needs removed, and he needs to be liable in anyway shape or form that can be done.
most schools can’t afford new books let alone that quality of security unfortunately
It's crazy how different our schools are. I graduated in 2018, but went back in 2019 and early 2020 to visit a teacher after school got out. I had a guitar case that could very well have been a gun case to someone that didn't know the difference. I just walked in through the open doors, no teachers asked me anything. At the time I didn't think much of it, but with these shootings seemingly becoming more and more prevalent it makes me think. Obviously I would never even think of hurting anyone, but someone else could have very easily just walked in and done some harm. Scary shit.
Where did you go to school? Detroit?? Never heard of that level of security in any school in America
I really appreciate the coverage, because so much of what I've seen up to this point is just gut reactions and people throwing accusations around at anything and anyone they want, according to their own agenda. What I wanted to know is what happened, who was involved, and what exactly led to the situation becoming as bad as it was. I have a much better idea of that thanks to you.

I was a manger at Walmart, I always had my radio because it’s part of the job, and mine wasn’t life or death, that was such a bad situation due to a chief being an idiot, you always protect the kids, keeping the cops from doing what they are trained for is stupid, just recently found doughnut, you are a real G, I’m loving the rabbit hole journey so far
That was the first time seeing the inside of the school for me . The gut punch I felt seeing the walls painted like they were makes it even more insane that people could stand outside and do nothing
Thank you, Donut!! I believe your point of view is important for people to hear. I have sent this to many people, and hope they get a true idea of the events. The work you do is important, and I, for one, appreciate it.
I've been putting off watching the long stream until literally just now and I go to your channel to find you have created a shortened version. Perfect timing
This situation was horrific and shitshow but this hearing proves it was much worse. The prevention of parents to rescue their own children makes this shooting even worse.
Thanks Donut.
Thanks for all the hard work
This video is 25:44 long, which is almost 50 minutes less than it took the police to open that door and end the threat

If I was a Uvalde cop, and I stood there for 45 min while kids were murdered. I’d absolutely Cornell myself.
Thank you I was saying the same thing. There’s no way on God’s green earth I could ever look my wife or kids in the eyes again. I couldn’t face myself in the mirror.

He didnt mention there was 376 officers from multiple departments, that were following this incompetent cheif's orders
The school I had went to from pre-k to 10th always went into lockdown anytime we had a police chase, police showing up within a 2 miles of the school including search/arrest warrants. Anytime there’s police involved with a suspect within 2-5 miles of a school, that school should go into lockdown. The police failed in this situation big time though, but the government hasn’t done anything to try to solve this issue except take guns from law abiding citizens.
Gotta love leftist
Considering a 16 year old with major mental health issue can get a fire arm should say something about gun laws
@@Cyclic420 you have to be 18 to purchase a firearm, they can be obtained by 16 year olds ILLEGALLY. No gun law allows anyone under the age of 18 to purchase or carry a firearm. Guns will be obtained by people who want to do harm no matter what. Stricter Gun laws will only keep law abiding citizens from protecting themselves and their families.
@@ap9186 you're actually incorrect in regards to no law allowing anyone under 18 to carry a firearm. Pennsylvania, and I'd imagine most states, allows hunters under the age of 18 to carry a firearm while hunting or activities related to responsible hunting(such as sighting the rifle in).
* The law isn't written as simple as i just summarized it.
@@jonyemm just about any state a minor can operate any firearm, including pistols. but, its illegal for them to possess it without an adult (consenting obviously, the fact that teachers over 21 were there doesnt matter) over 21 present.
Also in some states you must have your firearms reasonably secured if a minor is present, meaning they must be in a safe, have those yellow flag locky things in the bolt, or at the bare minimum have them in a locked room.
The parents' horror and pain must be compounded hearing this. I don't know how they are even handling their rage and grief, knowing that their children could have been saved! I don't want to even try to imagine..... I hope that Uvalde police force go down hard!
It gets even worse, after the chief was fired his lawyer issued a statement that "Chief Arredondo will not participate in his own illegal and unconstitutional public lynching and respectfully requests the Board immediately reinstate him, with all backpay and benefits and close the complaint as unfounded"(Pete Arredondo Press Release 08-24-2022, page 17). He failed to perform his duties and then doubled down insisting he did nothing wrong.
Heartbreaking ineptitude. There were probably officers who would have happily stormed that room to save children from an active shooter. As you said, he sounds like admin. Choose better leaders.
Should have ignored him but they didn’t despite hearing gunfire. Stop giving then excuses.
There was definitely civilians with more morals and courage than those "following orders"
Everyone blaming the Chief for his incompetence, whilst apparent "men" stood in the hallway listening to the shots...
At this point, if the Chief seems incompetent it should be the responsibility of any person with a gun to get the hell in there.

@@josephburdette8518 Were these full time seasoned cops or some bunch of part time rent-a-cops or school resource officers?
Generally teachers can lock/unlock their classroom door, and get in some specific doors with a general/classroom key or key card. Main/fire doors can only be made to stay unlocked by a custodian. Some doors don't click closed properly, especially push doors, so they can be opened even if they're locked, especially in the heat. Hopefully this clears up some things about doors. Source: Custodian until Inslee's vaccine mandate last year.
Recently (in the last three days) I heard a news report on Robb Elementary that stated the classroom doors in the school are not able to be locked from the inside. This brought up two questions immediately to me. What constituted the school being considered "locked down", and why did the school system police not seem to know this? In the Texas Senate Hearings it was stated that the school went into lockdown, and several reports stated that LE advised they needed keys to get into the adjoined classrooms. Something does not add up.
Honestly they should start making schools pretty much impossible to get inside when locked down and the local stations should have master keys
@@robertthomas497 Generally classroom doors only have locks on the outside. More of a security measure for restricting access when no one is in the room. My only concern with adding some way to lock the door from the inside is if the teacher themselves were out to harm their students... but I feel like that would be a fair exchange for lockdown safety. Or add electronic locks, idk.
