Just remember no officers were harmed.
Not just failure to discharge their duties, but they threatened and physically prevented anyone else from helping those children. They should be charged as accessories to the homocides.
Lol
@@safeandeffectivelolI read “failure to discharge their duties” at the same time it was said in the video. Trippy
@@safeandeffectivelolaiding and abetting as far as I’m concerned
@@safeandeffectivelol I agree, they should be charged with accessories. \
*Hundreds* of heavily-armed & trained cops on the scene *and not a single one of them took any action for over an hour???*
I think they were waiting for the perpetrator to run out of ammo.
Officer Safety
They took action to stop parents that were willing to run in
Good guys with guns, am I right?
@@hkiajtaqks5253🙄
They are cowards , all of them .
Chickens! 🐔
You took the words right out of my mouth😂😂✌️✌️
especially the chief of police who is the biggest chickenshit coward with a badge and a gun
The officers were standing with their heavy gear and ARs but instead of stopping the shooter they stopped the parents from rescuing their children.
They literally were arresting parents for trying to go in but not dealing with the actual criminal
So, a school security guard with only PEPPER SPRAY and a WHISTLE was able to DETAIN these parents? I wonder what the guy with the ASSAULT RIFLE would have done to them!
The cops should have let the parents rush in, it was their life! If they were willing to risk it pretending to be RAMBO! It would have been an even bigger BLOOD BATH!
@@MsJanetWoodimagine defending these cowards? You’re pathetic!
@@MsJanetWood Well then why even have pigs with badges if they are only there to protect themselves??????????
@@MsJanetWoodit's texas everyone owns at least 1 gun and I'm sure the parents have more experience shooting than a 16 year old shooting for the first time.
They should never have been Police Officers.
Never 😮
The Police Chief is a Democrat. Never put a Democrat in charge of things that you even remotely care about.
Especially being that out of proper physic!
Then they call you racist. They are all Mexicans. Enough said
They aren't even fit to be mall security guards.
Imagine standing outside of a school while you are hearing live rounds being fired and just standing there NOT rushing in. Unbelievable.
And knowing kids are getting torn apart and just accepting that result. Pathetic.
My son is 32 now. In our small town everyone knows everyone. We were good friends with the parents of his school mates. It would have taken 300 cops to stop us parents from going in.
Ive said it over and over... I would rather die trying to save my loved ones than live with the memory of doing nothing.
I'm thinking we would have driven a truck straight through any blockade and straight into the building wherever we thought we could gain access.
I could live with peace of mind in jail if they had the nerve to convict me for saving my child. I would face death without a second thought to save my son...
The entire thing is an absolute disgrace.
Starting with where the shooter with no job who was " bullied for being poor and having bad clothes" got 2... not one... 2 ARs each retailing close to $2000....
Pathetic
And the kids talking to the dispatcher, he can hear the police radios in the hall.
@@drachenmarke yea.
Makes me want to puke
@@miker7798 cops would shoot the hero before they shoot a villain so be careful they are only worried about protecting their own and their own asses
Every single Cop that was on scene that day, needs to be charged !!!
Two wanted to go forward and advance on the shooter but they were told to standby/stand-down as was the Chief.
The problem is that Chief had his men wait long before he was ordered to stand down. The Chief is truly just a coward. Thank god that border patrol agent was there and didn’t give a crap about orders that day. He cared more for the kids, all the cops should have. Hell, they even got the wife of one of their colleagues either shot or killed, I can’t remember if she did die. I imagine that officer lost all respect for his depart
So it's not the officer's fault they were waiting on orders and didn't know to advance.
@CanadianBallistics that's what you do in an active shooter you neutralize the threat period the shooter was actively shooting while they stood there and let children bleed out
Uvalde PD is a joke
US PD in general is a joke. This is just a rare case of justice actually being served.
The Police Chief is a Democrat. Never put a Democrat in charge of things that you even remotely care about.
Unfortunately most police departments are full of cowards and bullies.

Already took two years just to get to this. Pathetic.
Pathetic 😮
The parents had to beg and threaten to sue to get any results.
@@BizznessBoxthose parents need to make an example
The department of "just us" wheels grind slowly when it comes to one of their own.. when it isn't one their own that's in deep d0 d0 they'll expedite that case seemingly overnight.
@@BizznessBox all those poor babies killed while adults stood by.
Not only did they not act but would stop anyone else who tried .
Keep in mind that the people trying to go INTO the school were less of a danger to these cops so they weren't afraid to confront them.
The active shooter inside was scary though and they didn't want to be anywhere near him.
@@the_omg3242coward
Imagine being known as the cops who didn’t run in and save the kids. I’m curious if these cowards make it out of jail.
These cops were more worried about parents at school board meetings, that the screaming children, so sad
why just those two?
what about the rest who were there and did nothing?
The other soldiers did nothing because they were following orders. They followed the chain of command or r at least that would be their excuse. Nonetheless, the Uilvade Police showed great cowardice. They might as well worn skirts to this major police event.
It's obvious the Ulvade Police are only thier for the paycheck.
one man was literally the first responder and abdicated his duty, that's why he's on the hook and the incompetent response falls on the chief... could be more.
They are the sacrificial lambs to try to pacify people. And it's pathetic
@@fatherdivine8005I can tell you, if it were me and babies were dying those were orders I could NOT have followed, period! I would have had to try to save them and deal with consequences from my bosses later. Maybe that's just me
@@fatherdivine8005so you think natzi soldiers are "just taking orders"..... You are a horrible person
400 cops on scene who all cared more about going home than trying to save the children.
The children were already DEAD prior to anyone calling the police!
Now u know
I would not have been able to do that. I would have defied orders and risked my life to go in there. I could not have lived with myself had I not at least tried. Cowards.
That 400 includes investigators, and units who arrived after the entire scenario was finished.
@@AmericanPatriot911 I guess that makes it OK then.
How cowardly could you be to not save kids?
I remember watching the live coverage and seeing officers start to move down a hall, shots rang out and all the officers ran back and hid behind the corners of the hall.
If I was on that jury that SOB would be guilty.
Over 300 law enforcement officers, and only 2 are being held accountable.
Haven't been held accountable yet... we will see if they get convicted.
They were clearly the head of the problem.
Strange, no?
@rudyruiz9521 , And the only thing worse than them are the ones who followed those orders .
@@rudyruiz9521two Mexicans? lol get real so the big bad whiteys take orders from paisas now? How weak of them Slavics
Why do we have cops in our schools *if those cops have no legal obligation to protect the children???*
Because ur too scared to step up
Exactly
They are there to bust the children, school to prison pipeline.
NicholasBurgers 🤡
Ask the worthless monsters of SCOTUS!
They decided law enforcement have absolutely no expectation to assist us.
This country is a pos
If a cop ever says the words, "officer safety" to you, be sure and remind them about UVALDE, how officer safety claimed the lives of 19 innocent children.
They failed those children and the consequences were absolutely horrific 😢
The whole department needs to be wearing orange jumpsuits.
Damn right
I've said this YEARS ago when I began To hear multiple departments and police officers prioritize "officer safety" and "im making it back home to my family " that this was a horrible attitude to have Because you're slowly going from vigilant warriors to delicate flowers
Exactly
@@ekbanks that's so correct!
I totally agree!💯
they even look like cowards
They look like convicts.
The Police Chief is a Democrat. Never put a Democrat in charge of things that you even remotely care about.
They both fail to discharge their duties; meaning, they are both cowards!!
Did they take some dineros
No they don't, they look scary
Little girl inside the classroom on the phone with 911 begging them to come help her teacher and friends who were bleeding out. 😢 Detaining parents who tried to go in and rescue their own children.
Let's not forget the cops that harassed the mom who went in and saved multiple kids for criticizing the pd nationally.
Remember, not only those heavily armed and equipped police officers did nothing but actively stopped parents trying to save their children.

Didnt one mother go in and get hers kids?
@@KalCana Yes she did.
As a 32 year vet of Law Enforcement…both of those Officer’s should’ve been charged with Involuntary Manslaughter! Disgraceful to the profession!
You know better than that, officer. Duty to all, duty to no one…the Supreme Court has been saying that since the 1800’s
That's not what involuntary manslaughter even is for at all and you should know that better than most. We shouldn't just stretch laws to punish moral crimes. We should charge people with anything that fits the crime under the law. Police would be sued out the wazoo if we start down that road and I don't want police feeling scared to act or NOT act in some situations where it would perhaps be irresponsible to do so.
@@bountyhunter8968yeah I don’t think this guy was ever LE
This will get squashed because of Warren v DC's core holding (no duty to act) and Castle Rock v Gonzales core holding (No duty to protect).
Why? What law compels LEOs to charge into danger?
Inmates: What you in for
Officers: For being cowards
Only 2 are arrested and if even f they are arrested, they'll be in protective custody to avoid retaliation from other inmates for standing in the hallway
Every last one of those officers on scene that day should be charged as well.
Holding his chin up on his mugshot like a true criminal. 2 cowards right there. RIP to those kids
the same dogshit pose!
Long prison sentence
Take away their HOLY PENSIONS
Display of self-righteous indignation. In his mind, he did nothing wrong. These 2 are the sacrificial lambs…unless more indictments are coming?
You wouldn't do anything
@@T2MARA they should all be prosecuted. Shots were fired, in a school, and their hiding behind a wall. The whole town needs to gather at city hall or wherever and DEMAND all the cowards to resign.
They shouldve ran straight in and stopped the shooter.
you misspelled 'shot' :)
The problem is America and Americans have been condoning this whole "officer safety " thing for decades now And unfortunately this is exactly what happened when the officers began to BELIEVE That them making it back home to their family Prioritize any and everything.
I'm an old soldier. I would've told them: give me a vest & a weapon & follow me!!!
@@glintinggoldA LOT!
They have multiple supreme court rulings on their side. Law enforcement officers have no expectation of keeping citizens safe... the supreme court said that.
OMG, we have to get rid of qualified immunity. These cowards should all be going to prison. Our justice system is a broken disgusting mess.
What does qualified immunity have to do with going to prison?
It's been that way for a long time it seems people are just figuring this out
If they were stopping parents from protecting their children, then they’re assisting in the murder. Isn’t there a law against assisting in a murder? 🤔
Cowards, everyone who waited, everyone who blocked the BP Agent from going in to save his child...cowards.
god yes,imagine that .he would have stop the shooting
They're just cowardly, phonies who dress up as cops, and harass innocent folks, knowing that most folks won't give them a hard time. They are COWARDS!
You know that story is a bunch of bullsht, right? Look into it. That BP officer never existed.
Cowards? Friend - they're just migrants who claimed they had law enforcement experience. And maybe they did. But Law Enforcement in Mexico doesn't include "risk your life for children."
Yes, 2 were arrested, but what about the other 398 cowards that stood outside, stopped parents from getting their children.
I think if they were following orders, they can't be charged.
@@jeanettesmith765 That's what the Nazi's said.
@@georgegarvey7338 and it didn't save many of them from the gallows either (if they weren't of use to Operation Paperclip.)
@@jeanettesmith765Boot licking 101
You realize that that 400 includes investigators, officers from SAPD, and other agencies that arrived after the entire incident had concluded, why would you charge them?
Should be charged with accessory to murder.
Bare minimum they should face gross incompetence and multiple charges of dereliction of duty leading to loss of life of a minor.
They should just let the parents of Uvalde run the police department
They show more balls than any of those cowards
They might need to buy some underwear so it won't be public indicity budy no one wants nasty bolls hahaha
You'd be surprised I know parents who would've gone in there to save their own child cowardice is everywhere. Especially in the US. Too many people think video game bravery is real till they hear shots.
@@johnnyfive9815 the police department should also be held accountable for arresting parents who ran in to save their kids.
It was recommended that teachers arm themselves. It was the Schools and Teacher Unions that fought against it!!!
TRUTH.
It's "To Protect and Serve"
Not "To Run and Hide"
This guy should be doing major time.
The supreme court has ruled that police have NO duty to protect the public.
"Protect and serve" is a façade. 1989 DeShaney v. Winnebago. They have no legal obligation to "protect and serve".
@@soulknight89you forgot the word “not” like you’ve posted in many other replies.
@@14goldmedals thank you.
This won't change anything, look at their mugshots, look at that ego, that pompousness... They didn't care about those children and they don't care about the charges.
Lock up Abbott too.
FJB.
@@philmacdonald7857 ?
Get the rest of them now.
They stopped one of the cops from going in while his wife, a teacher,
was inside a classroom speaking her last words on the telephone, already wounded.
Being labeled a ‘coward’ is something I couldn’t live with. I hope they both feel the same.
Too much of a coward to do it
Everyone in America and indeed the entire world witnessed the utter cowardice of these officers in the days following this horrific attack and I for one don’t see a problem with holding them to account.
They will certainly benefit from bravery training behind bars.
Every single one of them.should be charged
Freaking cowards, they should be charged
DID SOME ANTI-GUN DEMOCRAT PUKE BEHIND THE SCENES GET A STAND DOWN ORDER IN PLACE AND DIRELY THREATEN THEM ALL IF THEY ACTED TO STOP THIS MASSACRE?
is cowardice a crime though?
Y E S ! ! ! When you are trained armed and payed to put your life on the line every time you go out on duty to protect the public!!! These cowards did thee exact opposite!!!
@@kimpeater1”Cowardice of Duty” is a crime for LEO & Military.
@@IntoTheWildernessBushcraft "cowardice of duty" is literally non-existent in any statute. Try again.
If the system let officer Scot Peterson walk for what he did not do in Parkland (FL), pretty much any police officer can ‘not do’ what he is supposed to do and walk away free.
Listening to the officers say, "Anyone know what we're waiting on?" makes me furious and is an actual indictment of their cowardice. Active shooter murdering kids and ya'll stand there? Every officer that was there needs to be charged with dereliction of duty.
Wow some accountability I'm shocked
Oh, they get indicted but the charges are usually dropped. I’m unfortunately accurate because the Supreme Court has ruled that they, “have no duty to protect.”
@@juanmangasmochas1533 They did the same with on site 'officer' at another school who ran away from a shooter leaving the kids to their fate...while he himself was armed.
He was arrested too (wish I could remember the name and county) but the charges were dropped.
@@rustyhowe3907 the charges were dropped because SCOTUS ruled that police have, “ no duty to protect.” They said that you can’t force someone to risk their lives for others.
They can still get off.

So many failures happened that day 😢
Really makes you afraid as a parent of what failures may still occur in the future…if this nightmare was possible, what else is possible?
OK, We'll make you the next chief!
Thank you for pointing that out, Captain Obvious
I have no idea why your comment has attracted not only one, but TWO angry weirdos.
You don’t have to be perfect or have all the answers in order to criticize the horrific failures of others.
@@central_scrutinizr "Really makes you afraid as a parent of what failures may still occur in the future…if this nightmare was possible, what else is possible?"

Being a coward is not a crime. Being a coward and forcing subordinates to hide should be a crime.
Angeli Gomez went to the school to save her two boys. She got handcuffed when she told the cops to do their jobs.
When they uncuffed her, she jumped the fence and saved her boys.
Cowards?!
They should all be in federal prison

is cowardice a crime though?

Do your job
Details of this situation are unbelievable
I was horrified and in utter disbelief at the police presence yet they deliberately did nothing. They did not do their job. What an embarrassment to the U.S. shame on them.
They even look like cowards.
The one with his chin up you can tell really doesn’t like whites 😂lol, funny bean
All the other cowards needs to be charged.
This makes me happy all those officers who did not do their job should go to jail .
Finally people opening they’re eyes against corrupt officers.
Corrupt and incompetent are two different things.
They didn’t do their job, did they?
Well if they would of charged In and kids would of been killed , attorneys would say if they didn't rush in,they could of gotten a negotiator to stop the shooter,but they didn't and now everyone is saying they should of rushed in.Think in my opinion is not the officers fault that their training was not part of ,what to do in case of a mass shooter scenario.Its a double edged sword for this officers,no matter what they would of choosen that day,the shooter was already locked in the classroom with those kids.
@@eddiebarrera-ws8vu what would you say their job is then, never mind what others think? Should they consider their own safety first?
I believe state troopers came along and didn’t hesitate to go in and save the remaining children. Different instructions as to what their job was?
The Police Chief is a Democrat. Never put a Democrat in charge of things that you even remotely care about.
They waited for 77 minutes, which is 1 hour and 14 minutes before they finally took down the shooter.
They all need to be charged
Whoever is responsible for waiting over an hour to help those poor children needs to get jail time period.
"The process was hard on the officer"! What a load of crap. The process was hard on the poor innocent children and adults that died for the inactions of these cowardly "pigs".
When an unarmed parent went in to save her child...Gómez, a farmworker, received a call about the shooting and rushed to the school, despite law enforcement’s attempts to stop her. She was handcuffed by US marshals, who claimed she was being “uncooperative.” However, Gómez refused to back down, insisting she needed to get to her children. She convinced the officers to uncuff her and, as soon as she was free, she jumped over a fence and rushed into the school. Ongoing, marauding mobs who beat, rape and steal from us. We're on our own folks!

Uvalde police department and this 2 are a bunch of cowards
In Texas it is more likely that it would be those children who called 911 to get help because somebody was shooting who would be charged for abuse of the 911 line. Providing they are still alive, that is.
He's a scapegoat. The call came from someone higher than him, always has, always will. Don't be fooled.
They should of taken action but did not thoes children would be alive today so dam sad
Proven FACT: The average KC Chiefs fan has more and bigger balls than the entire Uvalde, TX PD. It's not just these two who need to be charged. They ALL refused to act as children were being murdered.
The parents were braver than the cops 😣
They get paid to protect and serve, NOT to count BODY BAGS and collect paychecks!!!!...
Actually, they don't get paid to protect and serve. We know that for a long time. "Protect and serve" is a façade. 1989 DeShaney v. Winnebago.
They get paid to enforce the law which is different than protect and serve. However it seems to me that they failed to enforce the law.
Just by looking at these guys pictures you can tell they aren't diligent, highly trained men.
Well who wants to work there. If your highly trained your working with the feds or a major city not a little town in Texas. He should of relinquished his duties to the feds. We can't expect much from people who work in these small towns barely get shootings or aggravated assaults. They just love wearing the uniform you see it everywhere.
@@johnnyfive9815 "Highly trained?" At what? Being a thug, stealing from people, framing people for crimes to give the appearance you doing your job. Do mean highly trained to do that? That is bulk of police "work" nowadays. Being a fed just ups the ante on the corruption.
@@johnnyfive9815 - There are minimum fitness standards all officers must pass by law. There's no way in hell either of these men could even come close to passing.
where are the charges for the teacher who violated safety protocol by propping open a door that is to be remained shut and locked during school hours? Where are the charges for the principle who knew the door lock was faulty and did not make any effort to fix it? Both of these are responsible for the shooter gaining access to the school. Security and Safety are multi faceted. One failure does not result in a total collapse.
There’s absolutely no excuse for these kids to be slaughtered. Are you Valdi Police Department or cowards and they should all be prosecuted?
Unfortunately the Supreme Court has ruled that law enforcement does not have a duty to protect unless you’ve been placed in their custody
Sorry but that just sounds like a bunch of BS to me valley shooting has just totally been unbelievably terrible terrible all those officers all those guns All that body armor All that training and they stood there and did nothing
It just makes me sick
You mean the worthless monsters in robes
Even the supreme court don't care about the kids
@@selfishbread1350nope. They never did.
Good they should be charged. It's insane they did nothing for an hour.
This is what cowards look like
Those two deserve to be in prison!
There was at least one officer on video who wanted to rush in, but the others held him back.
Very odd...
He should be charged. Honestly, I think it looked deliberate in order to further a particular agenda.
The person who made the decision to hire these guys as police officers should be arrested
How do they even look in the mirror
lol…
Easy..while.they count their fat pension paid by the very parents that lost their kids
Nothing will come of it he will walk pension intact and live happily ever after
Hold them ALL accountable.
Thats like 1% of the people who should be charged.
Wow, how timely? Is this the Gonzalez who spent his time sanitizing his hands?
just like a scene from the bible when pontius pilot washed his hands while they killed the innocent jesus!! this was a planned LUCIFERIAN EVENT!!
I think it was more of a nervous thing doing that…but yeah, quite surprising to see 😳
Supreme Court has already ruled that cops have absolutely no duty to protect anyone, unless those people are in their custody, or unless the police officer has made an express agreement with the victim to provide protection. Thank the conservatives on the Supreme Court for that ruling.
Its very hard to prosecute for inaction.
Bought damn time. Chose cowardice over children.
Remember how Governor Abbott was on stage with those pathetic officers like they were heroes?Such a pitiful sight.
because officer safety trumps anyone else's safety?

Yes
Exactly what it is!
It's totally true. Policing is supposed to be a selfless role.
All of those police should be jailed and have their assets seized to pay their prison bills
All those cops doing nothing and only 2 of them get charges mind blowing
The killer could’ve ordered a pizza and had it delivered and ate it before the officers did anything .
3 times!!
Not necessarily they could've eaten it before it got there, he kept taunting them to come inside and called them derogatory names
NEVER FORGET UVALDE
Parents: If you don't go in I'll go in myself.
Cops: If you show bravery and make us look like cowards you're going to jail.
Allegedly police officers there got there own children out, but arrested parents trying to do the same and refused to go in to help other children
No lawsuit ? Cause last I checked the families are suing everyone under the sun. Took long enough for the rightful people to be charged.
Like a billion dollar type?
If you will not risk or even give your life as an officer or a soldier for children, then you are a fraud and a coward.
