these cops are heroes. uvalde take notes
Exactly. I would of ran my butt in there and saved those children. At least tried too. Probably would of died. But TRIED. Not stand at the door at let children get shot down
@Stacey Love Beauty 💖 you have no clue what you would do in that situation the cops were cowards that day and that cost many lives. They should be charged but you literally have no idea what you would do fear takes over in that type of situation so stop saying "I would've went in there" you probably wouldn't like any human that's not trained law enforcement enforcement
@@dbyspae122 You obviously have no children, I hope you don't.
Uvalde "Id go in if my child was in there..."
This is the response we NEED. This also makes it clear there is NO excuse for those officers behavior in Uvalde.
The fact that they didnt know each other and were able to pull off such a smooth operation shows how well trained this dept is. Kind of like playing a live show with 3 band members you have never met.
The thought of your kid or beloved one going to a school for a regular day in life and not returning is heartbreaking.
@Karl with a K wdym? because it would be heartbreaking….
I agree. I was so lucky to have been a school kid when this was not even an option and it breaks my heart for the innocent kids of today
American and 3rd world problems.
No, actually morst 3rd world countries are probably safer
rex was 150% going in alone if no one followed. that is a fearless man. we need more people like him in this world.
He had the balls of a US Marine too
Can tell that dude means business what a guy
I wouldn’t expect anything less from a man named Rex.
Stop putting men in dresses and calling them women. Lol
Thats how men are supposed to be. The image of how a man is supposed to act nowdays is disturbing.
I’m astonished that the officers didn’t know each other. They worked so seamlessly that I thought they all trained together. These guys have set the bar.
That´s why standardized training is a must. If everyone knows the same procedures, it´s easier to handle such situations.
Without guns that wouldn't have happened, stop using guns, Europe doesn't need that and we live like 3x times better than you
@@RSProduxx Training and understanding of the Incident Command System.
@@RSProduxx in my other life I'm in this line of work (corp. security for me) and what really stuck out to me was the need for basic, standardized terminology: where to go, when, and in what order.
No department wants to be the next uvalde
I wasnt even aware of the fact that pretty much no one knew each other on that scene. Makes the unwavering push into the building even more amazing. Kudos to all the officers in that push. You guys did the absolute right thing. Thank you so much!
This is why we should fund the police and not defund them
They were flying getting that building cleared.
@Dogloverrules defunding means defunding the police department with the most complaints in the department until a new leadership is shows as a 911 dispatcher and a cousin to a police officer in Texas stop spreading misinformation plz
ofc collazo works with the shotgun officer, he is ofc collazo's supervisor.
The method used to enter and search the building is taught to all officers allowing them to work in concert when entering the building regardless of whether they know each other. This procedure has been taught nationwide for many years.
"I know my role." One of the single most important things that stick out in my mind that one of the police officers said. Same here bro, same here. Stay strong
These men are incredibly humble for what they did. They're heroes. But please keep them in your thoughts, because having to take someone's life is not an easy thing to do. I'm sure they both have PTSD from the event. May they find the peace they need in the aftermath, and their families also find the same in their losses. My heart is with these people. Not easy for anyone involved, for certain.
I think there will ptsd for sure, thinking of" How could I have gotten there faster, saved them etc." The officer that talks about stepping over victims rather than stopping to check vitals etc.
One thing I hope helps them deal with taking that life is, they saved others by doing so. The fact he was there killing small children... They should feel no remorse for taking him out. In prison he would have got worse so they really just did him a favor.
Ofc i Know non of that changes how it may affect them long term.
@@oynlengeymer2434 her*, it was a woman.
@@oynlengeymer2434that’s still something you battle and especially as an officer who is used to seeing everyone in a situation live and move forward… sadly this was no longer the regular situation those officers see on a day to day.
Thats because celebrating that you killed someone isnt normal. It would be a very strange look if they started talking as if they were heroes, expecting praise and recognition.
@@hudysonsestari8228 It didn't know what it was so no need for me to care.
The little girl who was shot and killed running to pull the fire alarm to warn her peers is so heartbreaking.
It’s tragic. Her little mind thought to try and save others. Her first thoughts were to risk her own life for the benefit of her peers….she should have grown up to be a good woman…
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 given that it was a Christian school, it makes sense
@@ian_bruh1 TF u blathering about
@@ian_bruh1 Christians are not the only people of good character you hack.
@@BananaRama1312 I believe they are saying it makes sense she would put others before herself due to her faith and the Christian household she was likely brought up in. I was raised catholic and I believe serving others and loving them is one of the foundational teachings of Christianity.
Almost the most impressive part was his ability to vocalize what he needed before entering the school. Calling personnel to his side, reiterating urgency, you could tell he was a leader the second he hit the scene. The dude with the shotgun is a badass too. No hesitation. Well oiled machine right there.
Perfectly put^
The first man in with the beard just ran right in , not knowing what could of been on the other side.
Except a shotgun was a terrible choice of a weapon for this scenario.
@@KMT15 well it's not like they got to pick their ideal loadout like you do in cod. Time was of the essence and they acted fast. And people underestimate the effectiveness of a shotgun. You could easily put a lethal spread on someone at the end of that hallway with a shot gun. Again, this ain't cod, shotguns are effective past 10 ft in real life...
@@KMT15 it's a slug shot. Definitely a good choice.
My father was a Miami Dade Sheriff Deputy I have nothing but respect for the law and these guys showed how it was supposed to be done they made entrance and showed incredible fortitude and balls of steel yes everyone of them are heroes and professionals thank you guys God bless
Do u have respect for Uvalde cops because there are departments like that across USA
We need to offer whatever support we can to these brave officers---personally, locally, and through prayers. This was a VERY traumatic situation for them, and would effect ANY person for the rest of their life. Not just being forced to take a life in self-defense, but they also had to witness all the victims--three of whom were little children.
These brave men will have those horrific visions burned into their memories forever. They need all the moral and spiritual support that they can get, to get through this...
With the victims, families, and staff, I pray for the officers mental health. It cannot be easy seeing what they did.
hahahha
But, reliving what they did and stopped is WAY easier than the aftermath of Uvalde! Well done officers!
I was thinking the same thing. It was difficult for them to talk through this. I can't imagine the stress and trauma they are experiencing.
Thought the same, some brave people and they will live with that forever. Families just destroyed, I couldn't even imagine...at all.
Robert you think these officers are gonna have remorse for a school shooter? You need life lessons homie
The on-the-fly room clearing and grouping, that is incredibly impressive. The fact that they don’t regularly work together, yet performed flawlessly in action, amazing job officers!
insane how the police who were clearing the school weren't even in the same department, solid communication and clearing. props to them.
So you did not notice the obvious mistakes in the footage such as car comes into school grounds on a dull, overcast day, then turns a corner on a bright sunny day, then all chairs neatly placed beneath tables instead of scattered, in panic, in each class room. No CCTV footage of adults and children running down passage ways, even though the same CCTV cameras recorded the shooter.
@@dougaldouglas8842 amen brother
@@FlareXbass By the way, look out for the next shooting in a school or cinema, now that the democrats are back in charge with their gun control agender.
This police officer who first responded and took command of this situation is to be highly commended for his swift actions and quick and decisive problem solving skills. His direct leadership was apparent and instrumental in acquiring the necessary backup without further delay. This man should be awarded an honor for acting so quickly in what could have been a very high count school shooting. We need more on the the force like him. Thank you for your service. The parents of these children - thank you!
Please take care of yourself and seek any professional help that you require to deal with the PTSD that follows this senseless tragedy’s. 💜💜💜
This is so tragic. Those poor men are going to have PTSD over having to walk over victims and yet they're some of the most courageous officers I've seen. They did everything right, and I just hope they know that :(
You can tell officer Rex is just broken.. I can’t imagine how many times these men have replayed this scenario in their minds 💔 this is so horrifying to watch as a young mother of 2 babies. I can not understand.
All this for one transgender untrained lunatic. Genderdisphoria is a mental disorder and should not be given a gun.
Hope they can internalize the fact, had they not, there would be more bodies to walk over.
I'm sure they know they did the right thing. But no one would be able to do what they did without experiencing trauma.
@@cococharney1170you're sick in the head
It’s amazing that these guys don’t usually work together but still cleared the building so well.
They saved lives by being so quick
Really great communication skills on display in the full bodycam videos, especially the callouts by Officer Collazo. He uses equipment to refer to the other officers without knowing their names - "blue" for the guy with the blue shirt, "LPVO" for Engelbert since his rifle was the only one equipped with a Low-Power Variable Optic. True professionals, and actual Heroes(not something I too often say about law enforcement).
@@garretth.middleton9479 Collazo knew he was the less equipped between the riffle and the shotgun teammates. However, he could move faster, better mobility and visibility since he was carrying only a pistol. This was key to give the instructions and intelligence to the other members, and of course, he has 9 years experience in the corporation.
What really strike me was the shotgun cop just jumping in ahead of everyone, he didn’t discharged his weapon but was key in clearing the room and moving very fast. Also, a shotgun for corridors operations are not the best option to neutralize the target if it’s a long distance. But he was fearless and ready to engage knowing he could just injury the target and receive counter fire.
Noble commanders, noble men, nothing but respect and admiration.
@@paulohero Shotgun is excellent up to about 100 yards with the right load. I'd suggest No3 Buckshot as being the best.
@@paulohero Shotguns aren't really inaccurate until you go out many yards. The spread isn't as extreme as the movies. For the lengths they were looking at a shotgun is perfectly capable of staying within 3-4 inches of spread. The problem with them in reality is the low capacity, long reload time, time in between shots, and recoil.
The shooter wasn't interested in body count, that is why they shot at the police from the second floor foyer instead of going classroom to classroom. If the shooter wanted more victims they could have had them, sadly. But these officers are heroes and did an amazing job.
My heart was racing through this whole video. Well done Law and Crime laying it out minute by minute. I had seen plenty of videos on what had happened but nothing as clear as this. Those law-enforcement officers are true heroes. Oh my goodness we are so blessed to have men like this in uniform. Thank you for all that you do.
So you did not notice the obvious mistakes in the footage such as car comes into school grounds on a dull, overcast day, then turns a corner on a bright sunny day, then all chairs neatly placed beneath tables instead of scattered, in panic, in each class room. No CCTV footage of adults and children running down passage ways, even though the same CCTV cameras recorded the shooter.
No one find it odd that the police never encountered any children or staff members during the search of the shooter? Even when the shooter shot out the front door to enter the school there was no one in sight not even in the front office. How did everyone manage to get from the 2nd floor pass the shooter? Where was everyone at in the school when the police stated that when they neutralized the threat they were able to escort everyone outside.
apparently the little girl in the hall pulled the fire alarm to notice the school and she risked her life doing so
She sadly died doing that
I am so very proud of those men. THOSE are the men that kids look at and say "I want to be a cop when I grow up." What a fine example these men set. Hopefully they have put everyone on notice.... NO MORE UVALDE. It truly is astonishing that these men presented as such an amazing team when they didn't normally work together. WOW.
lol u act like not a single person was killed... 6 people died... 3 children ... this is not a victory... stop pretending like the police did their job when 6 people died ... thx sped
i think Uvalde was planned, it was to try to push more restrictive gun laws, they can say look how many lives more gun laws could save
That body cam footage makes me want to go into Law Enforcement when I get out of active duty
Your comment is so cringe honestly
These officers did amazing, but it’s so sad that the people of Uvalde still have not had justice
I got chills watching this video, they could not be more humble. These men are real heroes, who knows how this would've ended without their courage and tenacity.
lol.
@@cggg490 whats it like to be a bitter, miserable human?
Not hero's. Just cops doing what they're supposed to do.
@@PonyBoy1776 Wow talk about entitlement, spoken like someone who's probably never done a day of real work in his life.
@@cggg490 Got anything actually intelligent/meaningful to add, or are you just coping?
I went to school in high school with Michael Collazo… and knowing his military training and hearing him say “I’m with you” is truly genuine. Such a good moment, thank you for protecting our kids ❤
Tenna Winnipeg?
Sir, Mr. Englebert you are a blessing. Thank you for your integrity upon answering the call of duty while keeping a clear and concise demeanor. Your movements recorded on video show that you were present, concise, and orchestrated by purpose. The execution shown by you in my opinion of obtaining your gear and relying on your fellow officers to gain control of the environment along with stopping the threat are above the normal standard of operations. Thank you.
I’m so impressed with the work these officers did. But, what stood out to me was when one of the officers said “I’m with you.” and squeezed the shoulder of the officer in front of him. It was like he was reminding him, “hey, I know this is scary, but I’ve got you.” I was even more amazed to learn that these guys hadn’t worked together as a team before. Even in such a terrifying situation, they came together and pulled this off so well. You can tell that officer Engelbert is a great leader. From the moment he stepped out of that car, he knew exactly what he needed to do, vocalized what he needed, and followed through with his plan. So much respect for all the officers involved.
@@milky.funland You are exactly correct
Thats what good police training gets you.
He’s pushing the officer in front of him forward with that “hand on the shoulder”. Notice that everyone with a body cam was putting bodies between them and the shooter.
The hand on the shoulder is a non-verbal signal used by law enforcement and military personnel to say "I'm with you, let's move" Entering a room or going through a doorway alone, while you have backup is a no-no in both professions.
@@The0nlyy It's common in situations like this to remain in whatever communication you can. You can't always speak, or may be issuing other orders, so the hand on the shoulder lets the person in front know that the person behind has their back, and what their location is. The person in front now knows that they are covered from behind, and not alone
The hurt in the man’s voice as he expressed how he had to step over a victim, I hope and pray he manages to get over that pain and come to realise the hero he is and how many lives he saved.
I agree that has to have a life long affect on him. But I could hear how hurt he was.
Yeah that's exactly what he needs.
More hopes and prayers 🙄
@@doubletripplep come on man don’t be disrespectful
@CandPeanuts I'm not being disrespectful.
I think the American politicians and gun lobbies who continually promote the use of high powered automatic weapons over the top of the cries for change by the parents of victims are being disrespectful though.
@@doubletripplep Cry more
God bless these officers. My heart is palping just watching this video, I cannot fathom being in the live situation how fast they react, amazing. We need more people like this in this world.
When I first saw the bodycam footage I remember thinking that responding to a school shooting would be a lot less stressful when you're working with officers you know well, so it's particularly amazing that the officers were so fearless even working with people they had never met.
Watching Engelbert arrive gives me chills each time. His feet hit the ground before the cruiser rolled into Park. After grabbing his rifle he makes his way toward the entry, as a staff member is updating him on the situation and what she knows, handing him the key, without ever slowing his stride. The entire time watching him, he remains unfazed by what he could be walking into only focused on why he has to get in there. You're a hero, Sir. Each and every one of you men and women there that day.
Absolutely
This is how all our police should be. They all should be able to handle high stress situations in this manner.
@@bentall7562 ?

LET'S ROLL!
Thank you SO much for NOT glorifying the murderer by mentioning their name. My thoughts & prayers are with the victims & their families & friends, along with the amazing responding officers, plus everyone involved afterward.
Thank YOU for not misgendering the murderer. Even when someone is villainous and monstrous, you are respectful and that literally brought tears to my eyes 🙏🏼 If we all treat each other with more respect and honoring each others humanity, we can find solutions as a community 💚
I hope to god this comment above me is sarcasm. Please be sarcasm
@@beitgorski7296o one cares about “misgendering” and your woke agenda. In fact, this sick narrative is why these innocent adults and three innocent children were MURDERED.
@@beitgorski7296 really??
Misgendering a murderer... that's what *you* care about?! get over yourself, for the love of god...
@@evo3s75 right as soon as you hurt children you’re no longer human whatever gender you decide to be you’re an it 🙄🙄
Officers Micheal and Rex we all salute you! It was your pressure and drive that changed the situation, your bodycams prove the momentum was a result of your own action. So many other officers just posted up as you passed through with your men... Action under pressure with proper application of violence with immediacy. We all wish the shooter would have not hurt one soul but we all have you two to thank for the fact that they didn't hurt more.
Laugh
@@dougaldouglas8842 Wash yourself brother, I can smell the cringe.
@@fkingbear1834 Grow up and wash your heart out. By the way, you are not my brother, and would never even associate myself with such a child as you say you are.
You’re confused, Collazo is the officer who was on point but once they reached the shooter he stopped and pushed the other officers into the room to hide behind them and once the shooter was already neutralized he ran past them and put another 4 unnecessary shots into the suspect. There were many hero’s in blue that day but he wasn’t one of them.
When I see the faces of the innocent children after every one of these, my heart aches and nearly brings me to tears. Their lives cut short by an act so egregious. What their families must be going through, and the PTSD of the other children and faculty around them. May they rest in peace knowing how loved they were by their families.
Amen
It is vital to remember that despite choosing to be Police and receiving all the training they did, these are humans. They have to live with having killed someone (whether that person deserved it not) and had to step over victims who were children. This is going to be with them forever and they need so much love and support to get through this. RIP to all the beautiful souls lost on this day.
Yes those heroes need our support as a nation and they deserve it.
No blessings for the perpetrator.
The person they killed wasn't human, it's ok
They had to kill someTHING*, the thing that went into that school & killed innocent people is not a human, it's just a pile of trash.
They didn’t kill someone they just took out the trash.
Running in blind and neutralising the situation in about 3mins, super human effort. You won’t see any other profession operate at this level, hands down the highest level of professionalism we’ll ever witness
I understand the wording but let's not act like this is a superhuman feat that only these officers were capable of.
This is what EVERY officer and first responder should be prepared for. The officers deserve praise for a job well done, but let's push this as the standard that should be applied to every shooting, not the one good exception
uh... armed forces?
You don't think anyone in any profession will ever act this professionally again, not ever?? Lmao these cops deserve the absolute highest praises but what the heck dude
I'm glad they were quick to respond in this instance, God bless these officers and my condolences to those who lost loved ones
You don't find it weird that God would allow a shooter to murder children and other adults at a god-based school..? It's just.... Another part of "the plan "?
So you did not notice the obvious mistakes in the footage such as car comes into school grounds on a dull, overcast day, then turns a corner on a bright sunny day, then all chairs neatly placed beneath tables instead of scattered, in panic, in each class room. No CCTV footage of adults and children running down passage ways, even though the same CCTV cameras recorded the shooter.
ever wonder why there's no kids or adults scattering during the footage even though the same cameras recorded the shooting? Why is there no one there during the footage? Why is everything all cleaned up and chairs stacked neatly like the place is a ghost town? Why is the lady telling the officer where to go super calm and reading a script on her phone? Why does the weather suddenly shift from overcast to sunny in seconds? Why is the shooter wearing different shoes when she's apprehended than when she's walking around on the footage? Y'all are brain dead for falling for this bull.
@@FlareXbass I didn't notice all that and now I feel I should re watch this video. All I care about it the children not getting hurt.
If this was another scripted event then the public definitly needs to be informed. The root cause is important to think about. What is the motive? Who is pulling the strings? Is this a ploy to take away our guns and nothing more?
@@dougaldouglas8842 where are the real CCTV recordings? Do they even exist? If what you say is true then the government and it's agencies are full of bad actors right now and we need to start fighting back
Amazing work I love the response you guys deserve the most. GOD has a special gift for each one of you involved.
Wow, I never would have guessed those officers didn’t know each other. I was already impressed and grateful for their quick, concise action. Thank you for your bravery.
Man, you can tell by their demeanor that they have gone through something awful. These brave men saved countless lives with a quickness, I pray that they all manage to heal from what they HAD to do. The footage from this event needs to be blasted in every department across the nation, these men all showed up total strangers, came together and worked like a well oiled machine to remove the threat. Absolutely perfect from the moment they showed up at the scene. These men are the definition of heroes.
I broke my heart because as they spoke, it was clear that they were reliving this nightmare all over again. God Bless each and every one of them and the families of the school victims and personnel.
One good deed in there whole career
It really struck me when the officer directed the one with a rifle and called him “blue” because of his blue shirt. They officers didn’t even know each other but still came together as a team
@@barneybrown7543 When was the last time you ran into a building knowing there was an active shooter in order to save kids?
Yes, the "something awful" is similar to what the Apollo 11 crew went through.
my heart goes out to all the family's of the lost ones, may they rest in peace
So much love to the families, friends, school family of those lost. Much love and respect to each and every officer.
Those officers set the bar for the Nation. Well done hero’s, well done! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

@@Mama_Promise A detective is a whole other division, but he really should get a promotion
@Ryan Gosling I understand but it would still be considered a promotion. He already has 4 years with the department, seems quick on his feet and very bright. He may be chief of police one day.
@@Mama_Promise Yeah he is a hero, Nashville is pretty compact so the arrival time is fast
You can visibly tell how badly officer Rex is shaken up by all this. Prayers for you officer, thank you for your bravery. May you be mentally healthy again after having that encounter, know that must be life changing on the mind. Be safe out there
Yeah all 3 of the "main" officers are clearly shaken. I hope they have a good support team to help them get through this.
America is sick. Fix it.
When he got there, he called the teacher ma'am in very calmly that day.
They had to run past a dead child. I would break especially if I had children
The clip where the glass of the doors is being shot out is so haunting.
Amazing job officers! No one can begin to comprehend the feelings and stress that you go through in a situation like that. You have so many pressures on your backs and I sincerely pray that our citizens start thinking about the fact that each of you walked into that deadly situation not knowing if you would go home to your own families and you do that every days. The loss of life is heart breaking but NO ONE CAN JUDGE anyone until they walk in your shoes!! Great job?
The fact that these men have never done these drills together but did it so well is amazing. These men are all Hero's.
Any praise for the school teachers that evacuated and saved all those children prior to police arrival?
Paid vacation and raise! That was great job!
@@lynshirley7174 Nope, right back to work. Only ones who deserved paid vacations and raises are the crooked ones. Sad times
@@vintr2189 You got that right! I can't even get the local police to include me in the incident report for when a car crashed into my property on 24 Dec 2022. They actually made us stay away from the responsible driver so we could not get his information, instead letting someone park near his wrecked car and transfer all his belongings and drive away, then redacting the report so we could not even get his address, the insurance information bogus, the company had no record of his 2023 Bronco or him ever having a policy with them.
They did not even walk around behind my shattered full grown pine trees, I could have been killed by the debris or laying there wounded bleeding out. No cop or fireman searched for pedestrian victims... but they did send the power company to shut off my electricity an hour or so later.
There we were begging them to not leave us freezing on Christmas/Hanukkah Eve. Them glaring at us, with our Menorah having all but one candle lit in the window behind us, shivering in the icy winter wind, just back from our last holiday shopping trip for the evening. Luckily a county worker showed up and told them to pack up and leave, to not shut our power down, that they knew the accident did not involve our house electricity, to get out of there. God sent us one good man that night, to him we are forever grateful.
Americans are so brainwashed...
Use logic and common sense and you'll know this is just set up
You can tell Rex was really affected by this. Bravo sir, your willingness to put your own safety on the line is the stuff of true heroism.
I agree. And let's not forget, running into that building to save those kids knowing that when he came back out of the building he wouldn't be the same, though did it anyway
Yes, it is obvious that he is still in shock over this. It looks like this was his first deadly force incident where he had to take a life. The first time is rough, as well as any subsequent times, but it gets easier to deal with as time passes. I feel bad for him because I understand what he is going through: Nightmares and loss of sleep are just one symptom. I truly hope they have the resources to help him get through this and learn to live with it. Rex is a hero. We need more officers like him.
Taking someone else's life is never an easy thing to get through, hope he gets help and gets better because it just had to be done for the sake of other people life's and his own.
@@roadapple66 🤣🤣🤣
Agree. They all were heroes, but he stood out to me.
Great response, great heroism, great officers, thank you for your bravery, it takes alot to run to the danger and not to think about yourselves but to think about the individuals in that school, these men are well trained not only in law enforcement but in military, you can tell in their actions. Great job guys. Thank you so much💙💙💙💙
Have worked with LE, these officers took the initiative, the officer took control by assessing and calling out for others whom he didn't work with, no easy task. They did what they were trained to do, cleared rooms, responded to the sounds and neutralized the shooter, thank you to all involved, you saved lives!
To the victim’s families and emergency responders.. our hearts are with you. No words can express the sorrow and gratitude 🙏🏽 ❤

Instead of praying, implement gun laws….
@@KramerEspinoza I honestly feel any law will not be obeyed by a murderous devil with bad intentions, danke for commenting your opinion however. Nothing wrong with prayer during tragic times.
@@hanaleart7339 I lived for more than 8 years in the US and heard this argument many times. However, this so-called common sense argument is a gross mistake, as with many common sense arguments (as a physicist I can tell you that your computer would not work if you would follow common sense only, as quantum mechanics does not make any common sense) The only thing that matters are the facts, and that this only getting worse the more the gun laws are relaxed. It is a simple statistical fact. Sure there are other factors as the great inequality in the US society which by no means can de approved by any Christian either. Just praying and don’t do anything is exactly what Jesus despised.
The fact that these gents don't work with each other but work that well together is incredible. Heros!
Thank you for this excellent reporting
Thank you officers. Prayers for the families. I can't imagine
As a Texan I’m proud to see how these officers reacted. What we saw in uvalde from the officers from Texas was a disgrace!! These men did exactly what they were supposed to do.
Just like any man would do with purpose KNOWing the risks, excluding uvalde
Both are gun cohentrol hoaxes

Lack of training and courage. I'm not trained in situations like that but no way could I have stood outside while people are being killed
@@kss8274 especially not children
I got goosebumps hearing them all talk and yell to go in and hearing those alarms inside. They worked together like a well oiled machine and I think that says a lot considering they haven’t worked together previously, and it goes to show that their department is DEDICATED to training and I’m grateful for these men. I’m so so sorry to the victims of this vile tragedy. There is a serious mental health problem within this country and I can’t stand that our children and teachers and their families have to deal with it. They don’t deserve this.
A well oiled machine cannot think or use reason or strategies. They went in there like well trained officers.
Thank you for your service
I’m very proud of these men . Thank you for your sacrifices
police just did what they SUPPOSED to do, it’s literally their JOB to be brave and come to the rescue.
So you did not notice the obvious mistakes in the footage such as car comes into school grounds on a dull, overcast day, then turns a corner on a bright sunny day, then all chairs neatly placed beneath tables instead of scattered, in panic, in each class room. No CCTV footage of adults and children running down passage ways, even though the same CCTV cameras recorded the shooter.
My stomach hurts watching this. I don't think anybody understands that they had to react and think so quickly and swiftly under tremendous pressure with strangers whom they don't know their communication styles. So much to adjust to in a matter of seconds. Thank you for your heroic act.
Yeah, my heart sank when I saw that penguin bulletin board and they were talking about following the sound of gunshots. It's one thing to hear of yet another "school shooting", but seeing police moving through a school to find the shooter endangering those kids is just heartbreaking!
Well stated... This sickens me and everyone as well
I wish the teachers and employees there had guns and training for this in the future
Everyone concentrate on calling the cops heroes. That's what they want. Don't bother mentioning the fact its become normal for gunmen to shoot up schools because anyone can get a gun. America is the most backward so called civilised country on earth. Your kids are going to keep dieing for no reason except the reason you love guns.
Especially stepping over bodies that might still be alive and bleeding out. WOW! SO SAD
Having a kid in school.. seeing these officers go into that school with not 1second thought .. brought tears to my eyes.. 😢. Bless these heros ...
I would not let my kid anywhere near an american school, but I would trust those officers with their lives anytime
@Davinius B my school district arms their teachers... (very conservative town) . Never had problem... when I was in school.."same district'.. 97.. we was allowed guns in our trucks..(long as it was in the gun rack in the window) never a school shooting.
@@huh4tofpv384 There where no guns in my school, and there where no shootings, the worst thing was a kid waving a svastika flag, but anecdotal evidence says nothing. On the other hand, I would have listened more often if I knew my teacher could kill me on the spot 😂
When the leading cause for child death is gun violence you know that the country is terrible. Whats worse is they think more guns are the solution. Idiots.
I can't imagine how these cops and other first responders felt and still feeling. May God bring them peace and comfort everyone
So happy to see all the ads at key moments
All educators should hold a fire arm at this point
I pray that these officers know how much we as a community love, respect, and appreciate them. A job that many criticize, but only few can do!
Kids still died. Sooo.. basically it’s still a “mission failed we’ll get em next time”.
@@IveSeenSomeStuffYou expect them to teleport?
@@IveSeenSomeStuff That's also why in many instances officers support an armed citizenry. Good cops don't want good folks getting hurt either. Most of them can quickly tell the difference between a good person and a scumbag.
@@andrewvo596 no I expected a teacher or a police officer already in the schools with a gun ready. U sir expect the teleportation 💀
@@andrewvo596 ever wonder why there's no kids or adults scattering during the footage even though the same cameras recorded the shooting? Why is there no one there during the footage? Why is everything all cleaned up and chairs stacked neatly like the place is a ghost town? Why is the lady telling the officer where to go super calm and reading a script on her phone? Why does the weather suddenly shift from overcast to sunny in seconds? Why is the shooter wearing different shoes when she's apprehended than when she's walking around on the footage? Y'all are brain dead for falling for this bull.
I'm not even from the US, but the way these officers have conducted themselves was nothing short of professional and heroic. I thank people like these, who have the courage to confront evil daily. And I pray that the light of the lives they've saved will lift the darkness of the life they had to take, which will no doubt weigh heavily on their souls, especially the man who had to take the shot. Even if the person was evil and deserved it.
Bravo, gentlemen.
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
Amén.
It was a drill renamed
@Dougal Douglas there's no denying she/he had mil-type training prior to this/knowledge of the layout of school, like others. I know the other shooters were also trained. I'd also wondered about the responders and thought the same. These are exercises to push the ever so obvious agenda to disarm.
@@dougaldouglas8842 hopefully my comment addressed to you above wasn't shadowbanned.
Thank you gentlemen. Thank you for your service 🫡
Incredible work troops. Salute you for your courage and dedication
the fact these men charge into the unknown without second thought brings me to tears. It's a whole different stress when kids are involved.
if reality makeS A DIFFERENCE FROM YOUR TRAINING... YOUR TRAINING DOESNT REFLECT REALITY....
There was a day that charging into a school to save kids wasn’t an unusual thing.
@@ThereIsNeverEnough there is no amount of training that will prepare you for the real thing with stuff like this, that doesnt mean it isnt worth while. it helps the person in the situation be able to make connections with past "experiences" and form habits that normal people wouldnt think about.
@@bobswaget118 yeah... but ambiguity is SO 20th century...
You'd cry a lot harder if they didn't charge into the unknown. They're cops and they are paid to charge into the unknown on occasion, and this was such an occasion. FORGET Uvalde; it was an exception, not the rule. The cops were not being heroes, they were being cops. Dry your eyes, none of the cops got hurt, just the 6 victims and the shooter.
It's difficult to watch this without tearing up. These officers are professional angels.
its rly not difficult at all tbh but yes they r angels
@@morauy3481 criminals do not care about strict gun laws, they will still get their hands on them, and the innocent will suffer even more.
Become a Professional angel yourself, today! And stand up for bullied people
I mean from angels….their was some type of demon
Angel just means messenger. And the message is, it's too easy to fool the masses with this psy-op bull💩.
You did a great job. Thank you. Gives me great pride to know our Police are well trained. Thanks for showing us this.
Changed HER pronouns to was/were. Thank you.
From an educator: Thank you, Officers, for your willingness to serve and protect. God bless you.
The fact those 2 didn't even know each other and handled it that well speaks volumes to their training. Bravo fellers, y'all did excellent work in a horrible situation.
Entirely justifies that "contrversial" training facility in Atlanta is the currently being besieged.
How those situations go. Most large cities have multiple police departments. Most don’t really know each other on critical calls like this. War is even more chaotic. In Ar Ramadi, my guys were Army but we would have to often work with Marines and Navy (NSW) and in most cases nobody knew each other either. Law enforcement and war are unusual professions. Sometimes you just have to react to the situation and adapt to different training styles.
Handled like bosses. Great communication, working as a team, got the job done.
Every community wishes they had this for a department.
You would think these cops have been life long friends the way they worked together. So amazing!
The sentence "Ran towards the gun fire" resonates a lot. Ultimate respect to who ever is willing to do that for others.
It's easier if you figure the shooter ran dry and doesn't see you coming.
Most run from, only heroes run to the source of problems.
This is the training all police across the country are given. Uvalde had the same training! 🤷
Where is the manifesto?????
As soon as he unlocked the door and yelled “let’s go!” That’s the type of cops we need , he knew what he signed up for and he knew children lives were at risk . Good on them
I'm 90% sure my police department would be 2 hours late to the call. These guys are the stuff.
Yeah, I work in the food industry, and we were getting robbed, and it took the cops 35 minutes to get here. And they just walked in at a leisurely pace like nothing happened.
metro is really good with crimes, serious crimes tho, not robbery or assault. they are lacking in that.
As a parent with children in school this is absolutely terrifying. My sincere condolences to the victims of this terrible crime. It’s incredible how this HEROS with the police department responded . One life and all lives matters . God bless you all !
of course its fcking terryfing to live in a coutry witch provides kids that only play video games at that age "video game ways😂 " to fcking drive in his car ppbly at barely 16 years old (witch is unsafe by itself) and cary a bazooka inside .
move to scandinavia or dont care its your decision

@@FlareXbass your comment was a trip
@@krybling Yeah but when you actually look and see that the things I said are true in the body cam video then you'd realize it's fake
Each one here kept running forward even though in their mind they knew it may be there last day on earth, these guys each should be thanked and praised.
So you did not notice the obvious mistakes in the footage such as car comes into school grounds on a dull, overcast day, then turns a corner on a bright sunny day, then all chairs neatly placed beneath tables instead of scattered, in panic, in each class room.

My deepest condolences to the families of the children's .and also the teacher's that died that day...
These officers displayed exactly how a response of this nature should be handled. There was zero hesitation to act, zero standing around and waiting for who knows what, saving numerous other lives. God bless them and their families who support them in these roles. Prayers to the families of those who were tragically lost to this evil person’s actions.
ZERO HESITATION indeed! They took charge and didn’t have all the armor needed to protect themselves they just wanted to save lives
it took one guy litterally yelling and pushing the other officers to move or do anything, if it wasnt for that one officer tthe rest wouldnt have acted, seriously did you watch any of the fottage or listen to any of the audio?
@@isaarunarom7830 Not everyone is a leader, the people standing around are in shock or this is there first time in a combat situation. The people with higher training performed exceptionally well.
@@isaarunarom7830 that’s how you do this. One person in charge. Have you ever been to a scene with multiple officers playing chief? It’s a mess.
or you could have gun control laws, and this wouldn't have happened. As an Aussie, why are you so so stuck on second amendment?
These men did a phenomenal job clearing each room , communication and overall response to an active shooter , props to these brave fellas
At first, they were downstairs while the shooter was upstairs.
@@crand20033 so what?
@@SponzifyMee They wasted precious time downstairs while the shooter was upstairs.
@@crand20033 have you had training for these situations?
Brother, there is an astronomical amount of concern when entering and clearing a building. You do not know if the threat will move, hide, or has an assaliant with them. You also don't know the layout. What an arrogant comment. If you just run in without clearing, you're either dead or allowing the threat(s) to get around you and cause more harm.
Thank you for your service! Heroes
Great job, may peace be with you all🙏
I thought it was interesting how they pointed out that they never worked together but in the footage you can see how in tune they were with each other which shows how well their departments training is. I think this will be used in future for training exercises. Thankyou to them all as they undoubtedly saved lives that day. RIP to the poor victims
It's amazing that these policemen turned into soldiers in an instant. It's also quite scary what they are put through and the risks they are willing to take without hesitation. Wishing the best.
You fall back on your training.
They took their training seriously and they did their job well.
Americans are still dead but less than if those police hadn't acted as swiftly as they did.
Quite scary if you're on the other side that is. Us everyday average joes feel safe knowing that these guys are protecting us. Amazing work by this humble bunch top down
@Naes Galaxy nope just some cops ruining their other majority peers is what you mean, most of the cops that have been around me are very friendly and take the job seriously(which they should)
well said!
@@KevinIsAMilitaryGenius some departments are like Uvalde others are better run
These cops were so effective at their job, and even responded quickly. We need more like them.
thank you sierra!
The fact that the officers didn’t work together but moved in unison, like one body shows the amount of training they have.
So heartbreaking and traumatic that they might’ve heard those people being murdered and couldn’t get there in that instance-but the officers wouldn’t have known where she was if not for their sacrifice 😢
@Charlie AzogthSoth Uvalde cops plenty of wonderful officers in texas
@Charlie AzogthSoth That was shocking to me. Also shocking is the reaction of our President and other national leaders to this tragedy: score political points about gun control and play up a false threat to trans terrorists. Those poor kids and innocent adults. How can people behave this way?
@@charliestravelsandadventures You have to remember, this was Nashville which is a big city. Uvalde is small town. Big city cops get in shootouts routinely. Uvalde is like Mayberry. They probably toss you a badge and say good luck. All they probably do is investigate property thefts all day.
“If not for their sacrifice”.
WHAT?
The stupidity of “thoughts and prayers” combined with “we need more armed personel in schools” is mind boggling while we must consider that some people will die EVERY TIME there is an active shooter.
Every good guy with a gun knows at least 5 people whom they know shouldn’t be let near a gun. Let’s adress that.
"The amount of training they have."
Me, a german: bursts out laughing (Your Police has 6 weeks on average, thats nothing to Form the necessary habits in a professional training environment...)
These cops still did an amazing Job, but please... Americans get informed about your Police
This is the first I’ve been able to watch of this because it upsets me so much. God bless these guys, you know what you are. I’m sure that’s not your concern, but you saved soo many who were helpless without you. These men deserve.
My prayers for the victims & here the Principal is a Hero. We are very Proud of you & your heart.
God bless you gentlemen and my sincere condolences to the victim's families

These officers seem like such a tight and strong unit, it’s amazing that they didn’t even know each other before this day
officer saying "children hugged more than normal" made me chuckle. all part of being a parent when tragedy hits.
Don't chuckle too hard, there are three dead 9 year olds.
❤
The way they clear rooms, they know what they're doing. It takes a ton of courage to actively put yourself in harms way. Once they heard gunfire, the fact they just ran towards it ignoring the other rooms shows they thought taking down the shooter was far more important than their own lives. They easily could've been ambushed. God bless them, the families of the victims and rest of the school.
Great teamwork and so brave
Thank you to these officers ❤
Prayers to the families AND the Cop who was forced to take the Shooter down. To all the LE involved on the day, you did a great job!
@@Dave-xd3wx na if they already took someone's life, especially children, it's already a gunfight not an arrest
@@badvibesforeverg59agreed they had already stepped over a victim going in there they were ready to snuff the psycho out as should they no chances period!!
Terrorist not a shooter please
Who you praying to?
The 'God' who allowed this to happen and who allows every shooting to happen?
@@SKOLAH yes , because some of us trust our God and know He has a reason for everything. Even if WE don’t know the reason those families do/will in the future.
KUDOS to the police taking her out. A very very sad situation those school victims perished. Prayers to their families.
Thank you
Anyone who’s been through stuff can tell Rex is proud but not proud at the same time. It’s bittersweet. He feels remorse, trust me sir, you did nothing wrong and a service to the community!!!
Don’t think he feels remorse nor he should for putting down this demented tranny
I started to cry when the officer said they were hearing the fire alarm. It was a child who pulled that alarm to warn everyone in the school, who ended up dying.
