- CNN's Shimon Prokupecz confronts Pedro "Pete" Arredondo, the embattled Uvalde school district police chief who led the response to the Robb Elementary School shooting, on the Texas DPS director's allegations that Arredondo has been uncooperative in the investigation. #CNN #News
“When the families quit grieving.” That’s NEVER! Your baby was murdered, you’ll grieve forever.
Exactly....

It's Finally Here.
It's too early!
It's too late!
Damn, missed that nanosecond when it was just right!!
Yes, you do grieve for ever
Meaning they will never answer questions.
"When the families quit grieving "
Very poor choice of words.
Same as his actions on protecting those kids!
He says he didn't think he was the incident commander. But there is no doubt he is a coward
“You’re not blocking me are you?”
Ohhh, like you blocking in a shooter with a bunch of defenseless kids? Nope. Also, when will you be turning in your badge?
Fat boy ate to many donuts that day. He cares so much about the grieving family...they are grieving because of you.
"When the families stop grieving"??? Not just tone-deaf and completely offensive but throws salt in the wounds of said families, such a nerve to say such a thing.
When do you ever stop grieving?
They won’t ever stop
Not stop... quit!! 😬
Exactly
His comments are salt in the families deep searing wounds.
"You're not blocking me, are you?" - police chief who blocked the cops from saving the children.
He tried to intimidate him. Smh.
@@briannaje5419 I would spit in his face or slapped if he said that to me
Blocked the cops? You're a clown. Any decent person with a gun would have tried saving those children. Those cops were not decent people
“You’re not blocking me are you?” After he literally blocked any help from getting to those kids. “Out of respect for the families”?? He certainly did not respect them when they were being restrained for trying to save their children when no ones else would. BECAUSE of him.
I am sure he spent his entire life playing “hero” and “tough guy” with that badge and gun on his waist. Walking around his community, telling people how he is keeping them safe, and proudly displaying his badge and gun as a sign of authority. But when that gun was needed, when that badge was needed to do what they were supposed to do, he utterly became a coward and clueless leader. And our children paid the price. He is just an embarrassment and disgrace. Go and live in deep mountains and never come back out.
“You’re not blocking me, are you?” He is a arrogant, POS and a coward. He hasn’t come out to give a statement or take accountability. Pathetic!
Not even a statement! Just a statement! That’s all! Hiding like the kids, but these kids were the brave ones!
Well put
The reporter was blocking him. If that reporter did that to me I'd push him over.
.. that reporter better be careful punk-pete will arrest u easy, kuz u don’t have a gun
CNN is the enemy.......Since cops were standing down for like an hour with a known shooter in the school...Can someone tell me why not one...ZERO...ambulances were at the scene to assist a mass shooting? Am I the only one who thinks that is odd? No ambulances?
“You’re not blocking me are you?”
Sir the reporter is LITERALLY there because of YOU blocking police and parents from saving dying children. 🤨. Now think if the reporter would have blocked him for 80 MINUTES. He would have been arrested.
Meanwhile the police in the USA violate your freedoms everyday and this policeman is worried about being blocked...
needs a team of auditors around his office / hq
Exactly 💯!! This "cop" is the definition of a "pig" that doesn't deserve to wear a badge
Devastating point
Good point.
Parents will never stop grieving that piece of crap 🙄
This interaction shows clearly this man is someone who cowers and dodges danger - no wonder he left those children to fend for themselves.
Disgusting that he said “when the parents quit grieving” because the parents will grieve for the rest of their lives.
He is a coward and that was his way of saying that he never plans on talking publicly about his major FU that cost precious and innocent lives.
That was no Fu, nor was it a “wrong decision. He and his force blatantly refused to follow training they had been given in his precise scenario only two months earlier.
A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party. The term "false flag" originated in the 16th century as an expression meaning an intentional misrepresentation of someone's allegiance.[1][2] The term was famously used to describe a ruse in naval warfare whereby a vessel flew the flag of a neutral or enemy country in order to hide its true identity.[1][2][3] The tactic was originally used by pirates and privateers to deceive other ships into allowing them to move closer before attacking them. It later was deemed an acceptable practice during naval warfare according to international maritime laws, provided the attacking vessel displayed its true flag once an attack had begun.[
To call him a POS is an insult to shit, which is useful to sentient beings such as flies. This piece of garbage has no viable use.
@@ERAforALL His cops were scared of being shot. I wonder how the unarmed 7 year olds felt.
Did he just receive a raise an new position..? 👎
Respect to the reporter for physically getting in this cowardly bureaucrat's way and slowing down his retreat.
What is his reactions share/ the republicans looser period planned and involved in the trumps rally should resigns now without delaying the congress time and never listen to the loosers Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Cruz and Lindsay Graham NOW not an hour from the beginning show!
He should be ashamed to be wearing a gun ,I wonder if his kids were in there with the shooter if his decision would've been different, then again damn cowards you never know ,whoever voted him into the city council, he should resign period. Looks like he's still lying to the public.
This "situation" was a WIN - WIN for the Uvalde police chief. Notice he could care less about non white children. The 2nd Amendment is more important than any one child. God Bless the 2nd Amendment!!! A Firearm has more rights than a child...! Likewise, you can always have another child - but you can not take our rights to bear firearms so powerful that you need DNA test to identify the dead. The Police Union is also pleased. No police officers were harmed in Uvalde and the 2nd Amendment was upheld. a WIN - WIN for the Uvalde police chief.
@@BoydofZINJ Arredondo is a Spanish name. 🙄 And they called in the CBAs, my guess is, because they were more plentiful and better equipped, shields, etc.
Where's the respect for the community. Wasn't the time as said to you
Said he'll answer questions when "this thing is over and the families quit grieving." Words of a psychopath.
Knowing what we know....other cops are shaking his hand, slapping him in the back, shows that the thin blue line is still stronger than accountability and doing the right thing, 🙄
He should be suspended from his office and should not be able to be on the city council, he never should have been sworn in to that position. He needs to be held responsible for what he did
he should have suspended himself from the first minute --- no mistake in his eyes/no confession nyway, his ego and status is his God....
Cops are not the bad guy here. Seriously, the issue is that real bad guys are free to arm themselves and commit atrocities because of the laws in USA.
Cops have no duty to protect anybody from anything, least of all to go jump into combat situations just because you guys think "gun control" is a bad thing.
If you don't like mass shootings in USA, that's too bad for you. That's the way it goes, until you get some gun control laws. Blaming cops is pretty damn weak.
czcams.com/video/jAfUI_hETy0/video.html
Going to the end and to complete the list,
all congressmen and women who deal with laws,
all US Presidents,
all senators who deal with gun laws,
all American citizens who are 21 years and above,
more or less need to be held accountable . . . .
Why shouldn't he be sworn into the office he was elected to?
@@bryanb3352 for obvious reasons

He should resign with the shred of dignity left he can muster.
You know what, good on you to have actually confronted that thing, (Incident Commander). No one else, (that I’ve seen), has had the ⚽️🏀‘s to do that. Appreciate you.👏
Oh wow, as soon as he uses the grief of the families as a shield he showed what a piece of garbage he is. That was beyond disgusting.
I missed that, but yes you let their family members die and now your using them as an excuse🤮
Democrats are enemies of the people

Arredondo is in panic mode proving the case desperate people do desperate things knowing deep down even in places he refuses to go made a split-second life or death decision before knowing the facts and now finds himself responsible for the murder of 19 children and 2 adults. This guy is having the worst day for the rest of his life!
"When the families stop grieving".
Imagine being so tone-deaf and incompetent, that you think families will *ever* stop grieving their loved ones over such a horrific and senseless death.
Yes, he is pathetically using the families grief, as a shield to hide behind and not face having to answer for his gross incompetence.

I still can't get my head around how they must've heard shots and STILL did nothing. Kids were continously ringing 911 asking where the cops were. I just don't get it? 😤
When the parents stop grieving?! He’s FIRED.
Shaking hands and patting each other on the back, absolutely sickening
Cop culture. Their lives are the only ones that matter.
My thoughts EXACTLY. Uvalde needs to demand him be removed from office.
Get this pos out of the office sign a petitions. He’s so disgusting!
She answered her question with the statement: "The families will never stop grieving". So the day after those families stop grieving will be the day that Aredondo will address it. In other words: NEVER.
What’s with referring to him with female pronouns
he should have stayed AWOL
Your logic checks out. Accountability is necessary for the community, but the grief will never end.
"We won't take responsibility for our mistakes out of respect for the grieving families."
Parents will never stop grieving the brutal death of their kids, this is a senseless statement
Quit grieving?
They’re going to be grieving for a long time chief. Quit is something YOU should definitely do though.
yes now
My son was killed by someone with a gun 30 years ago. I still grieve for him. When does it stop? Never.
@@Falconlibrary So sorry for your loss.
22 and 24 years later, I still feel the pain of losing my Mom and Dad, even though I knew their time was coming. I wonder what it's like for the parents who should not have to expect this to come. Such a tragedy...
The way Pete was so callous about saying "when the families quit grieving" is infuriating! He has no right to say that about the parents of those kids when he and his officers were right outside the school and did nothing for an HOUR! I'm glad that Shimon got in his way to make him talk to him. The police need to be held accountable for what happened!
CNN is the enemy.......Since cops were standing down for like an hour with a known shooter in the school...Can someone tell me why not one...ZERO...ambulances were at the scene to assist a mass shooting? Am I the only one who thinks that is odd? No ambulances?
Pete Arredondo is a cold hearted individual for that remark about " When the families stop grieving" because all he did was show how insensitive and uncaring he is and his conduct during this tragic and senseless situation that should have never happened in the first place.
He needs to be held accountable and jailed for his decision
What a coward 😤
This man is criminal, he should be held accountable for those 21 lives
The lack of accountability for certain individuals of power in this country is amazing lol
I agree, there an entire culture that can’t figure out looting and shooting every weekend is wrong and even when they’re caught they dodge accountability and try to blame people they’ve never had an interaction with. 🤣🤣🤣
And that lack of accountability is a major factor in America's democracy crumbling into meaningless peices 😢😡
*despicable
they are expecting we will allow them to settle up in the afterlife instead of the here and now
Republicans sat outside as kids were being slaughtered
Nobody has lost their job over this extreme instance of cowardice. That's a slap in the face of the grieving families.
Excellent effort questioning this coward.
Amazing... he must be a narcissist in order to not have extreme remorse and repentance for his complete failure during that tragedy.

He looks like he is on the campaign trail running for office .. despicable lowlife!
Kind of like admiring the human skin lampshades in Nazis' houses during WWII? That is scary... I grew up 50 miles to the south in Carrizo Springs, and it makes me wonder what's going on. Is there more to it than just a lone wolf Native uprising shooting?
@Storytime with Mamabear Mama, I'm 4 years ahead of you. I already fled to India. Even when I was offered a chance to return to America under the emergency flight arrangement between India and America, I refused.
It's only going to get worse. You noticed that we used to call "old-fashioned" people "grannies," and yet when kids after us came up, they did the same thing to us, AND we thought something was wrong with them, being a worse generation than ours - our elders thought the same thing about us! Every generation gets worse because there is no mind sciences built into western civilization, as it is completely exterior-looking and Materialist in nature. Materialism in this context doesn't mean financially, but spiritually. Do they KNOW their place in this world and see what their role is in this world, or do they see that this world, this universe is all they really know (belief is not the same thing as knowing or directly experiencing)? In other words, Materialists do not have experience of the divine, never mind do they know that they are not human beings, but spiritual beings having a human experience for some time. It's over for America. If you need safety, don't go to Europe, but India, Nepal, or somewhere near India. Mēxico might work IF you connect with the Natives there (not the white Hispanics) early enough and stand with them.
More guilty for the school shooting than the Crumbley parents. Parents buy a kid a gun, he can/might commit a crime. Cop lets gunman shoot kids. Parents buy kids a gun or cop lets gunman shoot kids. I know which one i think is much worse.
Respect the victims and their families by telling the truth.
Makes me thankful for my local sheriff and local police; I’ve seen he in action and can’t imagine them responding thusly.
In my experience with interacting with police and public officials is: " when you make a mistake, it's your fault. But when they make a mistake, guess what, it's still your fault !"

It wouldn't surprise us if they said they couldn't take proper action because the parents that were trying to aave their children delayed them. I'm sure they're trying to figure out how to apin the narrative that way
This man pretty much told the community to go eat cake.
Talking to DPS doesn't mean he is cooperating with DPS.
There is no such thing as "quit grieving." Guy is a freaking police commander and doesn't even know how to speak correctly, but they gave him a gun and a badge! Just an absolute disgrace!! Those families, and families all over, will never "quit grieving" when we have overly and abundantly incompetent, and irresponsible law enforcement!! The shooter went through the door without hesitation and CHOSE to kill. The police hesitated and CHOSE not to proceed with a tactical takedown of that monster. That's not a police decision that you made at a commander level, that's just you failing to react as a coward! Don't give me that nonsense that the police didn't know who or how many shooters were in the building. That's astounding, neither did those innocent kids! And they did more to hide and protect themselves than full grown adults with combat command authority! Unbelievable!
I guess he will never be answering any questions because that grief WILL NEVA STOP!!!💔💔💔🙏🤲🙌

The feds need to be treating Arredondo as a subject of criminal investigation. When someone refuses to cooperate in an investigation in a matter such as this SCREAMS culpability. In addition the people of Uvalde should disband their PD IMMEDIATELY as they appear to believe that's have no accountability to the community, TX DPS, the federal government, or anyone else.

If the officers in Minneapolis were charged with
aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter

I can’t even watch this entire interaction. It’s so gross and disrespectful. Sometimes people make mistakes. Own up to them and accept the consequences. These lies will be exposed
pray for'n - he may be convicted to repent
This is just so heartbreaking , I’m sorry even my brother and his coworker who are both detective police officers in California even agrees that those officers in Uvalde took TOO damn long to get in there and save those kids it just is not fair that maybe they could of had a chance of surviving if the cops would of went in there sooner ); it’s just very sad 💔 I completely agree that Pete a should step down or be fired immediately !!
California officers would have sent in their K-9 unit, which is a 🐕GERMAN SHEPHERD. It's sad, the doggie got sent in, and the criminal stabbed him! There was a funeral for the dog.🇺🇸 📯And, he received a parade and everything! 🎖🏆So, so sad! That little dog was so brave! 😔💔
I will say that most of these replies by these good people I mostly write about Chief whatever his name is probably sat behind his desk all his life as a police officer I'm probably was a coward I admit if I was a police officer I'd be scared too but the punk look like the Devil Himself I may add was not a military man I was shooting little children they could have older version by shooting through the windows of other rooms making the punk look the other way or doing something distracting to him so that they could Rush In And kill the bastard before he killed any more children and the two beautiful teachers who tried to save the kids and what kills also and if they had rushed in instead I'm waiting and not going in and protecting and showed themselves by not getting shot they may have save life they didn't go in to do anything and let that poor little kitties and two beautiful teachers die a violent death the chief should be ashamed of himself like I said I'm not a policeman and I would be scared too if I was out there trying to get in and save the kids but you had to do your job not just wait for them to all die they should be ashamed of themselves and quit the police force and and go home and watch TV for the rest of their lives most of them and I'm not saying all of them should never have been policemen that's beautiful captain I'll say it again my friend was a cop in New York and he didn't do his job he probably took all tests to work his way up the captain and never saw any action in the street!!!!
He was overwelmd with emotion. He was scared. A coward.
Apparently he was more concerned about protecting his bullet proof vest armed police officers then protecting the armless, bullet proof less innocent children from being slaughtered in their classroom while trying to obtain an education 😢😡. This is way beyond Gross negligence. If the security guard at the parkland Florida high school shooting can be fired and criminally indicted then why can't this police chief also get fired and criminally indicted 🤔
if this is true, i hope he gets a long jail sentence

This man is a terrible human being and borderline psychotic. Everything he's done has worsened this situation for the victims and their families. He allowed the massacre to occur, allowed the cops to peddle lies to the press and has since then been in hiding like the criminal he is. He doesn't need to be fired, this was dereliction of duty, he needs to be placed in prison.
Notice how they are hiding him and treating this as a no big deal situation

He says he'll talk when the families stop grieving. The families will NEVER stop grieving.
He has been hiding and lying to the public and says that it would upset the families to speak? He is absolutely gross and so are those that protect him and shield him from the public. Too bad they didn't protect the school children and their teachers as much as they are protecting him.

@@MrThenry1988 Sir, as a former Senior Emergency Communications Officer, FBI trained Hostage Negotiator, and 1st Lieutenant in Emergency Medical Services, I understand chain of command. I've been within the chain and held command.
Public safety may have many branches, but protecting life is the number one priority within all.
Sometimes, the time comes when orders must be disobeyed for the greater good.
Let me tell you a true story, one I know from first hand experience.
Somewhere today, in a file cabinet is a yellow folder containing a reprimand with a name written on it. It's there because when orders were wrong, they were ignored.
It was a critical situation, time mattered, each second mattered.
A severely injured subject was in need of rescue, but we we're told to standby. Resources weren't arriving fast enough, and the longer we waited, the more critical it became. Each passing second moved him closer to death. Somebody had to act and it had to happen now and it did, they disobeyed orders while putting themselves in harm's way, and soon were back with the subject they dragged out. We started treating him and it was bad, blood loss, shock, internal injuries. Nothing was spared, everything that could be done was done. We flew him out, but he didn't make it, and later died at the hospital. That person who got him out got wrote up. Whether he lived or died, at least someone did the right thing and did everything possible to give him a chance.
The name on the reprimand is mine. I'll never have to reflect to a time when instead of doing something, I chose to stand there and allow someone to die. My conscience is clear and I'd do it again. Everytime.

Chief = COWARD! 🇺🇸
Parents please sue these cowards
He’s using the consequences of his actions as a means to avoid answering questions. When the police investigate you for a murder, you can’t tell them to go away because you’re grieving and to show respect for the dead.
Actually yes you can you can refuse to answer questions it’s called Miranda? Lol
5 amendment right
He's a politician now, he finally made it to the finish line. This "damn" incident happened one week short of being sworn into office.
What a "bad luck" for former Police Chief Arredondo.
I feel sorry for his constituents.
Parents don’t just “quit grieving” over a lost child, sir.
Incompetent!!! Arredondo doesn’t even know how to speak about this with respect to the families. It’s unfair for this to have happened in a town where the police leaders are so incompetent. Those poor babies didn’t have a chance. Truly sad. They deserved better
This guy is a coward. He has 1 option to go out w/some dignity and style: resign.
The police chief went AWOL, he should resign from his position
We knew it's Finally here..

What a coward!!!!!!
As soon as the families stop grieving??? They will NEVER EVER be done grieving.
When the family quits grieving.... son they will never stop grieving. So you actually answered...you will never provide answers.
Exactly
“Quit grieving”?! What, is this 18th century when women had to wear black and grieve for 7 years? We want answers now. The brief will never be over, it’ll be other them the rest of their lives.
Official mourning is not moral mourning.
he’ll never live this down as long as he lives
Every cop who shook his hand should be fired and investigated
Just because he is "on the phone with them (DPS) everyday" does NOT mean he is cooperating as he insists. He better be held criminally negligent. There was absolutely no excuse for such a delay
This was criminal failure to act and Arredondo should be facing charges, period.
Very disrespectful for him to pretend that he’s not directly responsible for more deaths in that schoolroom!😡
How can this man look at himself in the mirror and go on with life like nothing happened? He demonstrated no empathy. He failed to protect the children. Strip him of his job and eliminate his retirement pension. Disgusted
I’m not a CNN fan but there is no doubt that CNN and in particular this reporter is doing a great job. There was a time when most reporters/journalists were like this gentleman. Thank you CNN
So you’re gonna wait for the grieving to end huh? When do you think the grieving will end? Also don’t you think it’s more respectful to the families of victims to answer questions rather than dodge?
