When you staff your department with cowards, every action is a failure.
Amen!
Are we even surprised by this report? Those kids died because of cowards there that day.
Tell us something we don't already know.
Command ordered the officers not to engage because they thought the shooter was an illegal immigrant and they wanted to make a political statement about the border.
@@seth3189- I’m not sure what that means. But stop the foolishness.
@iMatti00 I'll quit the foolishness if you can tell me logically why some of the involved officers went back days later. Specifically, officers that were not investigators and directly compromised the collection of evidence.
We don't need a report to say there was a failure. Everyone already knows that. What we need to see is accountability.
Be a cop Feminist lol
pretty mouthy for the silent majority. what exactly does this have to do with feminism? @@silentmajority8365
@@silentmajority8365 or don't be if you're not willing to do your job.
@@averyellis My posts stands
Unless you are willing to take the job you can't cry
Uvalde is a lib talking point like Jan 6th
They take one day years ago and try to say thats the standard
Last year USA police made 4.5 Million arrests with less than 1100 suspects shot
They do their job more than you do yours
There are 650,000 Police officers in America to police 370 million people
Do the math simpleton
73 million Americans have criminal records
650,000 cops can't be the bigger problem
You got it they fired those involved
You should be a cop or at least a parent volunteer
I was one for 10 years how about you?
Uvalde will be a disgrace in US law enforcement history
There isn't a moment that isn't filled with disgrace in US law enforcement history 😭
add it to a list that grows daily thanks to phone cameras, cameras dont lie, cops do
Needs punishment
Has been
The craziest part is none of them have been fired
They cared more about saving police lives than the people they should’ve been protecting simple as that department full of cowards
The saddest part is that the shooting at Uvalde did not have to happen, and even if it did start, it did not have to go the way it did.
In the state of Texas - each school district can allow their staff who want to, to get air marshall shooting training, and be armed at school. That shooter would have either NOT gone there (they have avoided schoold districts who have armed teachers), or he would have been shot before getting into a classroom or possibly by the teacher IN that classroom.
Teachers love our kids. They will place themselves between shooters and our kids. We OWE it to them, to ALLOW them to defend themselves if they want to.
SCOTUS has already ruled that police are NOT obligated to protect you, and it is NATURE that anybody showing up to a shooting from the outside, will take time to evaluate how to proceed prior to entering - or maybe not even enter. Stop being surprised each time it happens. You and I are our own first line of defense - it is foolishness to think "The police will be Superman when I need them."
We knew this already. This was disgusting
Whole polce force needs to be replaced with real police officers
What we need to do is charge that whole ENTIRE force with Treason.
Ummmmmm what? Did they betray the government and try to overthrow it? Treason makes no sense in this situation
You must not know the definition of treason charges
for real
it isn't treason... this is a criminal negligence. They failed to perform their duty after taking an oath for this job.
Look up the definition JHC
That's an understatement those were the most pathetic police officers known to kids
“Tragedy & Truth In Uvalde”, a poem -
Slaughter raging.
Children pleading for rescue.
Time was of the essence.
What did the officers do?
They showed little urgency.
Officer safety.
That was their highest priority.
While the gunman’s bullets flew.
They knew what they should do.
But they chose not to.
While blood flowed fast & free.
Lives lost in tragedy.
In the death rooms.
In Uvalde.
The truth the whole world can see.
And no guts!!!
#1 - Shooter had a history of fighting, threats and abuse from classmates and former friends.
#2 - Able to purchase 2 AR’s and thousands of rounds within a week of turning 18.
#3 Dad was often away, Mom didn’t know how to handle him so he lived with his Grandma.
#4 Was able to get into the school as locks failed
#5 School was unprepared as they did not have systems in place for an active shooter.
#6 Killed most people within a few minutes of arriving at the school.
#7 Sheriff incorrectly told people it was a hiding shooter instead of an active shooter.
#8 Police waited 80 minutes as sheriff stalled, tried several keys, while shooter kept firing periodically in the classroom.
#9 Police eventually busted in the door and shooter was hiding in a closet and they shot and killed him.
#10 19 kids and 2 teachers died, some may have lived if they would of gotten to them sooner but # 1, 2, and 3 are probably the biggest reasons this happened
Prayers for these families. God be the Glory.
Well, the public voted to keep the governor in office so apparently they weren't that bothered.
The public also kept the President in office so apparently they weren't that bothered.
What do you want the governor to do?This is a Uvalde problem.Deal with it if you had coward police officers fire them and get new ones.
I love you DOJ but please get right. Please. For us
Tell us how these disgraceful officer's gonna be punished!!!
Uvalde PD should be sued
So tragic
This is going to open up a big law suit , so big that it just might bankrupt the police force & the town & all the officers involved , I feel so sad for the family’s of these children , all of the police with the exception of the officer who apprehended & killed the gunman are all cowards & should never be able to go into law enforcement ever again .
Yet no one been fired
My Heart and prayers goes out to these families,..
These are cowards doing this to innocent peoples.,,childrens'.…are in general."
That's right the Uvalde Texas Police Dept failed miserably with a capital F, Those children died because not 1 out of nearly 400 officers did not have the courage to apprehend the shooter, Shame on the Uvalde Police Dept.
Can’t watch cowards.
I love you DOJ but please get right . Please for us
doj please be the voice of these families and more importantly the kids
Yes! We are each our own first line of defense. Those teachers should have been armed - but their school district would not allow it.
I wonder if Uvalde school district (or the parents there) STILL believe that the police will protect their kids better than armed teachers?
Each school district in Texas has had the authority for about six years now - to allow staff to be armed and get free air marshall shooting training. Some have done so. Most school districts (even in Texas) are run by leftists who hate the sight of a gun though and believe in arming their teachers with erasers and tennis balls.
I think we all knew this! Did not know there was any question about it!
They are cowards!!
When I tell people many terrorism/mass shootings are allowed to happen (or even planned) many would be dismissive. This is the most obvious example.
What's that slogan? "Don't mess with Texas"?
Should add: "Because we will wait until you're done messing with Texas, if that's what you want"
acted courageously???? watch the body cams. heres the gun shots and children scream for help while cops in parking lot for 77 minutes
Such a disgrace they have blood on their hands
So they can have 5 cops with one guy pulled over but then when really needed they not around!?!? 🤔
Wowww The Govenor and the whole police Department should all get sued and fired cause all this new info is defenetly coming to light and its all horrible from all the scared cop's they were more afraid from gun fire then the poor lil children smh this report is so horrible that i was angry just listening to it .i can imagine how the parent's are gonna feel.😢im so sorry to the parent's 😭😭😭
So the cops were cowards, got it
Cbs is simping for the cowards
I remember when this whole incident first started and how president Biden and how he reacted and just talked about ice cream.
It also takes an idiot to think that it’s somehow wrong to evacuate students in other classrooms ASAP. I’m not a trained tactical officer, but I can easily find few fatal flaws in that line of thought. Firstly, this is after-the-fact and is classic hindsight bias. Police doesn’t know wether there are one or multiple shooters. They need to treat each classroom as if it has a shooter inside. What’s the heck wrong the officer is prioritizing ensuring the rooms are cleared? Secondly, even if with the hindsight that there was only one shooter, it’s critical to evacuate the rooms ASAP as when police tactical units breach into the shooter’s room, there could be bullets flying all around and hit the students and teacher. Indeed I believe one teacher was hit by a bullet traveling through the walls from another room. Hearing this journalist talking BS is just… stupid. It’s not helping nor educating the public what’s going on in active shooter scenarios.
Too many cooks in the kitchen, nobody cooking. Too many law enforcement agencies, nobody acting to protect the public. Consolidate law enforcement agencies into one per state and one for the federal government. Create clear chains of command and responsibility. Create uniform standards and individual accountability. Require law enforcement officers to be bonded and insured to cover their own actions. Disband so called school resource officers and replace them with private security guards. Mandate extensive physical security that can resist and delay armed intruders, including layers of locked doors, walls, fences, and bollards outside.
Uh half your plan isn’t thought out correctly.
I have discussed it with local law enforcement and school officials. They largely agree in principle. But they chose not to fund any of the proposals, even though the school principals, teachers, and parents begged for them. That is politics.
In the state of Texas - each school district has the authority to allow their staff who wants to - to get air marshall firearms training, and be armed at school. This has been the law for a few years already (since at least 2018). Some school districts have taken advantage of this law - and shooters avoid those hardened schools.
Some school districts have elected to NOT allow their staff to be armed - and rely upon law enforcement to protect your children.
My question today is - Does the Uvalde school district STILL believe that waiting for the police to do something, is the best way to protect your children?
Most school districts are run by liberals who are afraid of guns and don't want to allow their staff to be armed. Texas conservatives are still trying to protect the kids though - and have passed a law requiring an armed guard at every school. This is FAR LESS effective than armed staff, but for school districts that are too afraid of scary guns, at least it is a positive step.
EVERY "good guy with a gun" who shows up at a live shooting, from outside of the room or hallway - will ALWAYS take some time to evaluate, prior to acting. This can be short moments if the shooter is easily found to be out in the open - or an hour or more, if the shooter has been given enough time to barricade himself first. The ONLY people who take exactly ZERO TIME to react - are the staff members who are already IN the shooting environment. ........ those are the people who needed to be armed.
the problem is when the officer is a croward and lack of poor training... we cannot avoid this type of incident. What's the point of paying the police when they failed to do their job? They aren't cheap, you know...
@@daniellai7712 No. As much as you might think that more training would have helped - and as much as you want to blame "cowardice" for what happened.... if we actually want kids to be safe (instead of just finding who to blame each time this happens) - then we need to take the ACTUAL steps to make kids safer. And just hoping that thinking and fear and emotion can just evolve out of people or be trained out of people - is not a winning strategy.
100% of people (EVERY police officer, soldier and you and me) will take some time to evaluate a situation prior to entering - and NOT do what looks like 99% likelyhood of death.
This situation had to be stopped BEFORE he got baricaded. The only people who could have done that were the people already on the scene when it started - school staff.
It was a concious decision on the part of the Uvalde school district to NOT allow staff that wanted it, to be trained and armed, but instead to count on waiting for police to arrive in this type of situation. I wonder if other school districts in Texas are re-thinking this approach?
Sounds like cloistered institutions faced with reality. Again. City Hall smug little empires.
A lot of armchair quarterbacking in this report. The important thing is to learn from what didn't work well and to not only encourage other law enforcement agencies to make changes, but give them the funding needed to make these changes.
And banning assault rifles, but hey it’s Texas. 18 year old can buy 2 and 1,000 rounds? Why does any civilian need an AR?
@@robertburch3813 I'm not sure that is helpful. If he had a pistol with 5 shots, the response from police should still be the same.
#BlameYourDotGov
First and last names sound Hispanic
yea, but so are most the cops and the guy in charge, dont turn it into a raicail thing, has nothing to do with race
Yeah, maybe the situation wasn’t handled well, but let’s not forget it’s the shooter that’s really to blame. They’re the one that’s entirely responsible for the horrors that took place against those innocent people. RIP angels.
Nope, the police are hired and take an oath to protect and serve, otherwise why are taxes paying them?
@@Gr8Incarnate They went in and subdued the shooter. It wasn’t fairy godmother or some random guy off the street. The police are the ones to thank, not scorn.
