      american cops value cops' lives FAR higher than anybody else's. what happened in uvalde was just a particularly extreme demonstration of this. those same cops actually had active shooter training earlier this year. what they are told to do and what they trained is that the first cop on scene is supposed to immediately attack the shooter to draw the shooter's attention and gunfire away from helpless civilians who have no body armor, weapons, or combat training (and in this case happened to be 10 year olds). 10 bullets shot at a cop wearing body armor behind cover do much less harm than 10 bullets shot point blank at children. in stark contrast, one of the official excuses of uvalde police was "we did not attempt to enter the room because the suspect had already shot at us". cop priorities! to say that they think that they are better than the rest of us is an understatement. they act as if they believe that they are a different species, like we aren't people to the full extent they are.

      This wasn’t about cops protecting themselves though. Multiple cops put their lives at risk in minutes of the shooter entering. Within 3 minutes there were cops trying to enter the room who got shot at. This is about a police Chief who has controlled his officers to such a degree that one of them asked for permission to shoot the guy with a gun & then the rest were ordered to treat it like a hostage negotiation, not an active shooter situation. I want to know why the cop felt he had to ask for permission? Is that because the guy hadn’t yet shot anyone & the cop didn’t want to be targeted for an unjustified shooting? Or because his Chief has ordered them to get permission first so they don’t get targeted for unjustified shootings? Or some other reason? It’s not about the cops being cowards - although I’m sure that when it comes down to knowing you’re probably going to die & you haven’t faced that before, or you have people or things you want to live for, I’m sure there are some cops who buckle under fire. But not all of them. That’s just the knee jerk “let’s blame someone” response. We need to know WHY they listened to their supervisor when training says it’s the wrong approach. And more importantly, we need to stop these high powered weapons getting in the hands of f’d up young men & stop them from thinking that shooting up a school, concert, parade, shop etc is something that’s reasonable in their twisted minds. We need to stop an entire f’ing country putting guns before kids lives!

    I was a teacher for twelve years. When Mr. Reyes says "my children," I know precisely what he means and how heartbroken he feels. Often, as teachers, we spend more time with kids than parents, and those kids DO begin to feel like your own children. Without a doubt, I would have done anything and everything to protect my students just as if they were my very own children. This is gut-wrenching to watch! 😢

      To be honest it does not matter in this case. No lives can be saved no matter what the police did. Students and teachers already dead before police even arrive. Also the local police officers for sure don’t have enough training nor gear to handle this situation. Period. You don’t understand anything about trainings if you argue otherwise. If you expect anyone to react to once in a life time emergencies with strong proficiencies, with only training courses every few years, you are complete ignorant.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@jianwei2009are you even aware of the circumstances? Police were there for 77 minutes, hundreds of them, from multiple sections. The first few arrived almost immediately and still did not take action. They had time. They let a lot of those children die. They gave the shooter time to kill those that would have lived. Lacking proper gear is *not* an excuse. They are trained to eliminate the threat as soon as possible, no matter how equipped they are, they are NOT supposed to wait. Instead of defending those that did not do what they took an oath to, defend those innocent lives that didn’t even think about having proper protection gear before entering their classrooms and calling 911 for help when they should have been saved already. That mother that pulled her kids out of class during this whole thing did not think once about having the proper gear.

      @@hahasushiwhat9308 And you also proved my point. The fact that you understand 0 about trainings says a lot about why people failed to understand critical lessons we need to have about this tragic event that could have helped preventing others. First of all, the ONLY life saving opportunity presented is the school lock their fxxking door. that failed - not only school have minutes to react before shooter enters building - one teacher noticed the shooter's car crashing, they failed miserably by not locking both the main door AND critically, the classroom doors. This was the ONLY reason students died. Not the police, the SCHOOL!!!! If the doors are locked, not only the shooter not able to enter the classroom, but also provide police with opportunity to eliminate the threat similar to how Nashville police did. Clearly the officers are seen doing exactly what the Nashville police did, they try to locate the shooter in school building. If the shooter are outside of the classroom, it's much easier for the police.

      So so true. I can't even bear thinking about what he's gone and still going through. I'm also a teacher (K-1) and I can recognize which kid of mine is whining or crying when I pass by the gym. It's hard not to check what's going on even though I know they're with their PE teacher. It must be protective instinct kicking in. Imagine having a shooter in your classroom. What a nightmare!

    The way that this teacher told the kids calmly “I don’t know what it is but let’s get under the table” is amazing. He stayed calm for his kids and this guy deserves the world. The police need to be better than this. As soon as u get the call that somebody is shooting a school, don’t wait to go help, go help go on the school and stop being afraid of the shooter. We call officers hero’s because some get killed for the safety of others. Instead of trying to help, protecting themselves is more important than the lives of children. What if it was there kids. Then they would have gone in right? To save their own kids in the classroom but because they didn’t have children in the classroom they hesitate? This is disgusting. Completely horrible.

      This wasn’t about cops protecting themselves though. Multiple cops put their lives at risk in minutes of the shooter entering. Within 3 minutes there were cops trying to enter the room who got shot at. This is about a police Chief who has controlled his officers to such a degree that one of them asked for permission to shoot the guy with a gun & then the rest were ordered to treat it like a hostage negotiation, not an active shooter situation. I want to know why the cop felt he had to ask for permission? Is that because the guy hadn’t yet shot anyone & the cop didn’t want to be targeted for an unjustified shooting? Or because his Chief has ordered them to get permission first so they don’t get targeted for unjustified shootings? Or some other reason? It’s not about the cops being cowards - although I’m sure that when it comes down to knowing you’re probably going to die & you haven’t faced that before, or you have people or things you want to live for, I’m sure there are some cops who buckle under fire. But not all of them. That’s just the knee jerk “let’s blame someone” response. We need to know WHY they listened to their supervisor when training says it’s the wrong approach. And more importantly, we need to stop these high powered weapons getting in the hands of f’d up young men & stop them from thinking that shooting up a school, concert, parade, shop etc is something that’s reasonable in their twisted minds. We need to stop an entire f’ing country putting guns before kids lives!

Ultimately, they've all become bad guys ANYWAY because of the inability of SOMEBODY to take charge and move in. I expect that many who could have and should have done something about this active shooter were paralyzed by the possibility of legal or employment problems resulting from not listening to superior officers, opening fire on the wrong person, allowing a person who shouldn't have had to be on the premises (parents) to get shot, etc. Sooo....they were all apparently waiting for someone in charge to say "go".

They can shoot through both walls of a dumpster from far away. In a classroom no desk or bookcase or anything can protect kids and teachers. The guy shooting from an upper story of a hotel in Vegas was able to kill so many people across a highway. These kids in Uvalde had no chance. The cops were scared - they knew what an AR-15 can do. It's crazy that Texas state government made it easier for killers to kill yet refuse to protect even children from being slaughtered. It took DNA to identify the bodies.

    The wife of a Texas Sheriff told her husband that she loved him very much, but if he had been a first responder at the Uvalde school massacre, she expected him to have placed his life on the line to save those children, and if he did not come home that night, he would have performed his duty with honor. But if he refused to seek out and engage the suspect and neutralize the threat, she would have been very ashamed of his cowardly actions that cost the lives of innocent children.

    The guilt that teacher feels is so clear. He knew he was dying and couldn’t do anything but he still feels the pain. What do those police feel who stood outside the door? Do they feel guilt and pain? None have spoken out. So I’m assuming that their training to put their own safety first means they don’t . They blamed a teacher for not closing the door. She did it was on film but they tried to blame her. What snakes. That police chief should be stripped off office how dare he refuse to testify and give these parents answers. Parents are poor, the police chief isn’t paying lawyers. But parents are paying medical bills. What a country.

      This wasn’t about cops protecting themselves though. Multiple cops put their lives at risk in minutes of the shooter entering. Within 3 minutes there were cops trying to enter the room who got shot at. This is about a police Chief who has controlled his officers to such a degree that one of them asked for permission to shoot the guy with a gun & then the rest were ordered to treat it like a hostage negotiation, not an active shooter situation. I want to know why the cop felt he had to ask for permission? Is that because the guy hadn’t yet shot anyone & the cop didn’t want to be targeted for an unjustified shooting? Or because his Chief has ordered them to get permission first so they don’t get targeted for unjustified shootings? Or some other reason? It’s not about the cops being cowards - although I’m sure that when it comes down to knowing you’re probably going to die & you haven’t faced that before, or you have people or things you want to live for, I’m sure there are some cops who buckle under fire. But not all of them. That’s just the knee jerk “let’s blame someone” response. We need to know WHY they listened to their supervisor when training says it’s the wrong approach. And more importantly, we need to stop these high powered weapons getting in the hands of f’d up young men & stop them from thinking that shooting up a school, concert, parade, shop etc is something that’s reasonable in their twisted minds. We need to stop an entire f’ing country putting guns before kids lives!

      Because if it's those teachers then it's them who should be held responsible as well as the administration who hired those teachers or created that system which got those kids killed.
      As an example a store can be sued if there was an accident on their premises which alerted them to a hazard and they did nothing about it so it happened again. The attorneys will tell them to do something to be able to demonstrate in court That they were aware of a problem and tried to fix it. Because if they don't they will lose a lawsuit If the injured person can demonstrate that the store knew of the hazard because somebody was hurt already and they did nothing about it.
      The same goes for the schools, they know soft targets get children killed and their remedies are repeatedly substandard as demonstrated by the fact that kids keep getting killed.

      Jews go ask Muslim, who is the bad guy of holy book since Dajjal only exist in two book or the one known as anti Christ.
      Cos one day, someone bumped into a forum about Dajjal and alot of Muslim talking about how bad were him and predict, he should exist among few races, the day he pop out in this world.
      Yet what so interesting about this Dajjal, Alquran stated planet and star must follow Dajjal instructions even he is the bad guy.
      And that statement is enough, till the question "WHO IS THIS DAJJAL" keep popping out in his mindset.
      And finally he asked, who is this Dajjal since he could communicate with planet and star or how he could give instruction?
      Mother nature reply, why you want to know?
      Cos someone also can talk to the 3rd kind from the day he aware, other calling his name.
      Just the problem, he standings at open space or without anyone near him unless the sun.
      Then what kind of relation that exist between Dajjal and him?
      Mother nature use one of her tectangles tp pat on someone shoulder while asking him, do he know, why Dajjal were Anti Christ?
      Cos anti Christ also mean anti religion since religion and god cannot be seperated.
      Just the problem, someone wrote a science book and named it, book of life.
      Science also mean everything were understandable, then why still need religion?
      That is why, you anti religion.
      But Dajjal is a bad guy.
      Me wrote book of life but is the bad guy?
      Mother nature said one day you would aware, why you were the bad guy and other need to refer to my video for the meaning about love since 8th Feeling is a science theory in book of life.
      #Somemore you unaware, what hit Japan Sea before the largest tsunami sweep thru Japan?
      That thing came down from the sun or why it have behaviour.
      Sure you can say hello to the sun even she in fury cos the truth about 2nd moon blocked from reaching human.
      Israel? What you saw as outcome, when lava coming down from the sun like machine gun?
      Who cares about Israel were the promised land since God promise cannot expand thru out the years like my penis or how Israeli become so huge today, robbing Palestine land.
