Um my
I will read it right now, thank you 😊
Tbh I’m a dad of 4 , I don’t think anyone could have stopped me from getting into the school.
If that meant rushing the rooter at a full sprint and taking a few rounds , than so be it . If I save one kids life , it’s worth it

Guy is 110% right.
The officers chose _their_ safety over the children's.
I think the “cowardice” narrative obfuscates the fact that the stand down order form a very liberal chief was given - disguised as a bogus “barricade” delay where he can claim incompetence.
You don’t need to find proof of a conspiracy - look at the end result: people are calling for the 2a to be repealed in droves over a high “child” body count
The same “incompetence” argument happened in Sandy Hook, also, but that was more of an obvious stand down order.
Don't blame them , most people criticizing the cops would do the same
We have a expression in my country that would fit him. The best helmsmen are ashore. Its very easy to talk behind a camera when your not there during the situation itself.
@@elitecoder955 then maybe they shouldn’t have signed up to do a job where the main objective is to “PROTECT and serve”.. do you realize as they stood in that hallway they could hear children dying??! Like being shot and KILLED. Your way of thinking is scary.. hope you’re not a cop.
@@lauramo2616 They aren't responsible for the safety of any one's child other than their own . Imagine being paid average wages and infinite disrespect from public and still being expected to put their lives on the line for people who don't even know you exist . Think of the cops as individuals and not disposable assets , if you want to ensure safety of your child and yourself buy a gun .
The police protect and serve the constitution they aren't vigilantes
If there was ever a time to break protocol, lose your badge, or even risk your life, THIS WAS THE TIME.
Exactly. I told my husband if I was an officer on that job, I would risk everything to save those kids. No jury in America is going to send an officer to prison for breaking the chief’s orders and saving those kids. If anything, when it comes to light, the chief will lose his job and the officer who stepped up would be labeled a hero.
wrong, they did break protocol and stood there and did nothing. the protocol said that they should have went in.
No kidding. This would be my chosen way to die, to barge in there, with a Glock or AR or whatever I have, hopefully some basic body armor, and try to save those kids.
Especially the officer who lost his wife. To hell orders when your wife is trapped with a gunman.
If there was ever a time, to assault a police officer and do your best to breech the building, that was the time.
I was a sergeant for 30 years in the police force in my town I risk my life every day to protect the citizens the job is to serve and protect the public even if that means sacrificing my own life I took a bullet to the shoulder just to protect a woman and her child years ago and looking back at these police officers and the way they handled the situation that’s disgusting completely out of line your job is to serve and protect I woke up every morning with a smile on my face to do what I did because I loved my job ! But my job wasn’t about a paycheck like these officers think it was about protecting my community no matter what ! .. rest in peace children and teachers I am very very sorry to hear this this is horrible my prayers will be with you such a shame those innocent lives were lost due to the incompetence of officers ! God bless and stay safe people ! .. I would still risk my life to this day to protect anybody before my own I live in Niagara Falls New York .. born here and will die here for the people!
I hope u don’t make it home , u cops make me sick hopefully u catch one in the dome
First off, thank you for your service. The police etc did screw up on this one for sure.
The fact is "those innocent lives were lost due to" a mentally ill person. You have to be out of your mind to do this to other people and plan the whole thing out beforehand.
Too many nutheads in the world today.
@@Chris-fq4xz The things I seen over the years you couldn’t even imagine Sir but seeing how these officers handled the situation boiled my blood it’s awful and I support weapons I am an NRA member but this is out of line remember it’s not a gun that kills you it’s the person that’s using it with the intent thank you for your comment and I appreciate it stay safe sir
Stop capping
Thank you for your service!
In contrast to the police in Saanich British Columbia, Canada who ran towards two rifle toting bank robbers armed only with handguns to protect bystanders . Six police were shot and one badly injured. Nothing but admiration for these men. Both robbers died.
I'm from Texas, and what really made my blood boil, was that as the cops stood there frozen in cowardice, shots were fired, meaning kids were losing their lives.
Trumps America
@@driver568 I hate Trump, but let's not make this a discussion of political affiliations, but rather a discussion of humanity. School shootings have been going on for decades now. The difference is the media is actually covering them now, their agendas have changed. This isn't the fault of any one politician, this is the fault of many that have chosen their votes and their fans over the American people.
Everything is political and far right extremists fill police ranks across the nation. FACTS!
NOOOOO00000oooo! The Uvalde police officers need to SUE ALL MEDIA OUTLETS for PORTRAYING THIS FALSE NARRATIVE OVER AND OVER AGAIN! The officers followed OFFICIAL PROTOCOLS! DO SWAT TEAMS BUST INTO BANKS WHEN THEIR OUR HOSTAGES IN BANKS? NOOOOOOOO000000oooooo! Why not? Because, INNOCENT PEOPLE COULD GET HURT! THEY WAIT IT OUT! NEGOTIATE! These officers CORNERED THE GUNMAN AND HE STOPPED SHOOTING! THE FACT THAT HE WAS CORNERED, ALLOWED THE OTHER STUDENTS TO BE EVACUATED!
@@MsJanetWood there was no negotiating, only a killer ACTIVELY SHOOTING KIDS! If there is active SHOOTING you neutralize the threat immediately
Don't be a police officer if you are a coward when it comes to saving the lives of others
They don’t do it to serve. They do it for the power.
@@firemarshal17 true that
@@firemarshal17 and pay/benefits
Worse still, choosing yourself over the lives of dying children
Some become police officers for the right reasons and some join because they want to bully people who can’t fight back.
The guy santizing his hands. That video was crazy.
Without these videos we would never have know the extent of their cowardice and incompetence. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing we could have saved lives. And seeing the faces of those children.
tbh it unfortunately was that way for years, when it comes down to what really happens in these scenarios. They could easily fabricate a story to help save face and lie to ours like they did originally.
“Their training didn’t tell them to run away.” All that needs to be said. Great interview
Good point
Blue Lives Matter!
They punked out
Their training didn't tell them explicitly to run away, but I really struggle to believe that a failure of this scale could have been the result of a well-trained group of cops who just all happened to individually be bad at their job. I know people tend to mirror each others responses in crises, but _every_ single cop there dropping the ball completely? That's systemic.
@@samg6940 especially 400+ of them
I was trained in active shooter response over 20 years ago and the protocol was to go straight for the gunman and engage because waiting costs lives. These guys are a disgrace to the badge and humanity.
Thank you for your service, from someone who is a former army veteran.
How do you do that through a locked door? No visible targets. Shots fired at you.
@@propheteyebert7063 If you have to ask then you ain't got what it takes in the first place.
@@Dan.50 In other words, you don't know.
@@propheteyebert7063 I read that it turned out the door wasn't locked.
I weep for the victim's of this awful situation, and I demand a response from law enforcement. What happened in Uvalde was absolutely unacceptable.
I was not there - I was on the CPD for 32 years and now (thank you God) retired. If you wear a badge there are things our are obligated to do and no excuses. For the children and their parents - my prayers.
You never had any marketable skills nor a real job. Clown.
@@angryjarhead Thank you for your observation however such is not true. No I do not attempt to quarrel or convince.
This SWAT officer is saying exactly what I and many other officers have been saying for weeks now. That the officers that responded to this active shooter scenario, which is America's second largest mass murder of its kind, acted with cowardice and incompetence, placing their own safety above that of children who were being murdered and bleeding out throughout the over 1 hour they stood by and did nothing.
My husband who was a Emergency Medicine Physician at a Trauma One Hospital for 40 years said the SAME thing. 🙏
It is becoming a theme of cops being cowards. Some of the shootings could have been stopped, but police ran away or didn’t engage the shooter.
Thanks for saying that. Just saying there was some from the cop community saying we didn’t know what we were talking about when the story first broke out. Thanks
Thanks for your service 🙏
Thank you
I'm from Texas and I personally think every single policeman, sheriff deputies and anyone who could've helped those children and didn't should be fired with loss of all benefits.
And make them return their privately owned weapons since we know they'd never use them to actually save lives.
I am also from Texas, and I think every "officer" there should lose their ability to work as a police officer anywhere. There are a few that should be charged with manslaughter imo.
So nearly 400 law enforcement officers showed up to this school shooting bit none of them did anything to try and stop it? So did they all get paid overtime & double time to sat d around and do nothing?
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Racist. Saying that to an all Hispanic police force. 🚔
This was a sad sad day for law enforcement. When "everybody" is in charge, nobody is in charge. We can now see that NOBODY was in charge that day. Close to ~376 law enforcement personnel responded and look how long it took them to mount a response. All so many mistakes were made that day. RIP the dear children, and teachers, from Uvalde.
I think that is an excellent evaluation of this tragic and disgraceful situation. This is why you need a strong and decisive first in command, you honestly couldn’t have said it better. The brave teachers who did what they could with absolutely nothing were the true heroes here. The men who showed up to serve and protect were worse than cowards, perhaps we need a new word to describe their failure to act and total disregard for the most innocent of human lives
Defund the police
They lacked balls is what he said so diplomatically
" They put their lives over the lives of the children " absolutely says it all.
2:03 ...or it was a staged false flag attack to terrorize Americans into disarming and accepting GUN CONTROL, SO THE CENTRAL BANKERS CAN SCREW EVERYONE EVEN MORE, WITH CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCIES. MORE FOR THEM, LESS FOR YOU, AND WHATEVER IT TAKES??? The guys are just tools, screwing themselves, their family, and you, and yours, by participating is such deception???
Cuz their training didn’t tell them to run away.
Notice how this guy is basically suggesting "The police now needs even More taxpayer $$ for 'training' etc..."
@@adriangeh6414 Seem like the 'training' does not work, maybe police is corrupt or just overly bureaucratic and all the money just sink into nowhere.
Even me, an untrained layman would have grabbed two rifles off these fools and ran in blasting everything and everyone in the room! ONLY WAY TO BE SURE TO KILL THE SHOOTER! Then nuke the site from orbit! THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE!
The only way to remedy this in the future is " fire all those who participated in the response " cowards have no business being in the police force. Hire new police officers train them properly and have experienced leader in charge of them.
wont happen and wouldnt fix anything. cause more problems
@@AssistanceCS I've got a better idea. How about all of you just get off my ancestors land with this garbage.
Agree 100% !!!!!
@@AssistanceCS you can't retrain yellow. You can try, as in military it can't be done successfully.
There’s a guy with a channel on here who is a former Navy Seal Devgru guy(the team that killed UBL, supposedly). Called GBRS group. He said a lot of the problems in the swat units he trains can be fixed with a simple conversation. A message that says this is the standard you are expected to perform at, then correcting a few tactical/shooting mistakes, and finally exercising on the areas they need to(school, house, trailer, etc).
This retired SWAT officer is exactly right! As a retired police officer myself, you form a team once you arrive on scene and make entry to save lives. That team might just consist of just you, but that is what we signed up to do, Protect & Serve! Ever since the Columbine High School Shooting on April 20, 1999, lessons were learned then, over 20 years ago!!! So I am shocked and sicken by the officers lack of urgency to find the shooter and stop his actions!! That Chief should be fired & depending on Texas law, either charged or the victims should file a civil law suit against him!
It takes a special amount of cowardice to have such a significant numbers advantage over a single shooter and not press when children's lives are at stake.
As an ex soldier, I can tell you that I'd rather die then being one of those cops. seeing those cowards is making me sick.
What the hell are you doing? KIDS are dying there!
Pathetic
An ex soldier ? I don’t know of a single soldier retired or otherwise that refers to themselves as an EX ?
It’s usually Army vet, navy vet, etc or in the U.K. military Veteran. You can remove the soldier from the military but never the military from the soldier
Navy corpsman here, devil DoC smith. We are trained to put our bodies between those Bullets and civilians- like I have always said cops are damn cowards. They shoot unarmed civilians. But hide from the fight, all that military armor is just COD nonsense.
@@aileronsintowind6835 it doesn’t matter

Yet they advocate 2A which is how the kid even got the gun in the first place 😂
@@michaeldowner2337 Hmmmm, but why, guns don't kill people??? /s
Which in turn derives from this dramatisation and exaggeration of the danger of their jobs. They are not frontline troops in WW1.
They are justifying their entire team . I see Cowards in full tactical gear👎🏻
This is so sad. I understand that it is hard to be a cop, but like this brave man said, if you sign up to protect and serve, you need to protect and serve.
It was never hard for them up until that moment.. and that’s the problem
LmAo it’s not hard to be a cop.
@@nicholasjaworski9368 When you have to deal with stupid people and violent people, it is. I don't think you are aware of the sometimes horrible, dangerous world we live in. It's hard to defend others.
@@WHR0306 let me rephrase: yes, it’s hard to be a good cop and act according to ideas of justice. It’s not hard to be cop in the sense of you get a few weeks training, if that, and you get a gun and badge and a cruiser
@@nicholasjaworski9368 oh yeah I get what you are saying now. I agree
That one lady that got cuffed, then uncuffed, and bolted for the school, ran in and got her kids class out was a real hero. She gave no regard for her own life. We pay these stooges to protect and serve and they fell short that day.
fell beyond short.
She's being harassed by the police because she made them look bad. This is for real. They are actively harassing her to this day
Police have NO REQUIREMENT TO PROTECT AND SERVE, as the Supreme Court has ruled TWICE. We pay them to protect the property and lives of the wealthy, not everyone else.
@@hostnik777 lol the wealthy? ok let me guess, you and your "I hate law enforcement" think life is unjust... Stop being a tool. There are plenty of accounts of cops risking their lives for the less privileged. You have a big mouth why don't you become a cop and "change" the system. Instead you comment like a coward.
@@hostnik777 true that. It’s funny people still think we can count on these clowns
I was an Active Shooter Instructor for years in south Florida and what these so called cops did was an UTTER DISGRACE!
Screams inside job to me 🤷🏾♂️
@@trayyoutube only because you cannot fathom that many cowardly cops. You assume they are good guys. It would be impossible for an "inside job" to stop all those cops from doing their jobs if they actually wanted to. Cops are NOT here to protect you.
@@trayyoutube If so, it's to further the agenda on gun control. Mark my words, it will be gutless cops like this "following orders" who will be the ones breaking down doors to demand law-abiding citizens to hand their guns over.
lmao. boot lickers gonna lick.
@@trayyoutube you can hear that all the way through your tin foil hat, that's scary.
This former officer has hit the nail on the head 100%. Every single one of those officers at the scene who spent 1+ hours waiting needs to exit the profession, now. None of them have any place in law enforcement ever again. I'm not in law enforcement, but I know for sure what I would have done in the first three minutes of showing up on that scene. I've been in life and death situations before and have never hesitated. Uvalde is a travesty of law enforcement ineptitude.
Washed his hands with sanitizer!???? That made my heart sink.
What makes me sick about the whole thing isn’t just them waiting in the hallway. It was them waiting in the hallway and hearing the screams and cries of those poor kids. How can you do that? All of these officers need to be relieved of duty and charged. They are an absolute disgrace.
Unfortunately the Supreme Court has ruled that law enforcement has no duty or responsibility to protect anyone. They are given privileges and power to do what they need to do, but they are not obligated to do anything.
And the case that resulted in that decision involved the death of children that everyone agreed could have been prevented but the police chose not to get involved.
@@hewhohasnoidentity4377 So “Serve and protect” is complete bs
@@user-lj2gx2bh8p yes they should get sued for that false statement they print everywhere
@@hewhohasnoidentity4377 The SCOTUS decision is absolutely irrelevant here, if you are unwilling to try and help a child even if that puts you in danger you have no god damn right to wear a badge, PERIOD. I get it, there is no law that states they have to protect anyone and that being absolutely retarded as that is (why have a police if that's the case?), but there is a level of humanity these people need to rise to, lets not pretend these are unarmed civilians and being struck in fear as a result, these are police officer with vests, and guns, WAY more guns than the assailant had. For all of them to be afraid, or worse to let that crap happen due to orders from the police chief is just wrong on so many levels.
@@user-lj2gx2bh8p that's just a phrase they like to repeat over and over to win people's affection. Just like how they were praising the officers from the very beginning, until they leaked actual footage of officers running and stumbling away.
Angeli Gomez, the Uvalde Mom who defied orders from police and ran into the school and save not only her kids, but a classroom filled with kids, has more valor and bravery then all those officers who ran and waited. Those officers listened to children being slaughtered for over an hour! Angeli ran into the building unarmed, not knowing if she would make it out alive. It was not her job to rush in there with an armed homicidal maniac on the loose. She never took an oath to serve and protect. But she knew what was at stake, the lives of children! And she went in without hesitation. One unarmed woman...Everyone should know her name.
I don't know this story. i heard of one woman who saved her own kids.
First they handcuffed her, then let her go when she calmed down. Then she ran and jumped the fence and went in to get her daughter. She is a hero. She led several people out of a classroom.
But what people don't realize is that the police have been harassing her since it happened.
Yeah I heard about her, after that tragedy incident the cops start harassing her for saving the childrens because her action make the cops look bad to the communities, not only the cops are full of cowardice, they are despicable too😡
And now we all need to protect her because she is faced with harassment.
@@carpo719 What have the police been doing to harass her? That's pretty crazy they're doing that....
A year + later and these police departments and officers haven’t been punished at any level. They fired Arredondo and that’s supposed to be enough.
Nobody is willing to retaliate.
All Americans should be beyond outraged. These men stood by while kids where being killed. Never thought I would ever in my life see this from all law enforcement
What is sad is most parents if given a gun would have went in over those officers.
you're absolutely right. a mother went in with no weapon & got her daughter & several other students out of their class while the cops were still outside. sad
The parents wanted to go in without weapons.
imgine if the kid couldn't get a gun in the first place. just imgine it.
@@moneyall Imagine if society didn't piss people off and offer them no "legitimate" fix for their grievances? This has nothing to do with the tools or weapons involved.
@@havenbastion exactly!
my 28+ years in law enforcement reiterates that the swat officer is absolutely correct and he brings up another interesting point and that is: we're all built differently.... some got it and some don't
EXACTLY! As as retired (female) OIF/OEF Marine, the absolute LAST thing ANY organization (military OR law enforcement) should do is LOWER THE STANDARD. I hate to be blunt, but being "inclusive" gets people killed. RAH.
All them dudes weren’t built damn -
It's just shocking that so many on the scene were the don'ts. As I recall there were some questioning why they weren't going in so I guess they were trying to get it done but for whatever reason they let themselves be overruled.
This wasn't a bank, the suspect had no reason to take hostages, he went to an elementary school and started shooting, there's nothing to negotiate but his death. And yet they stood around for an hour running... what imaginary scenario in their head? "Let the hostage negotiator talk to him, so that he..." what, releases one child while asking for a car to drive to Mexico? Even taking them at their worthless words their logic makes no sense.
Then they SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE OATH AND NEED TO STEP DOWN AND TURN THEIR BADGE/GUNS IN
@@ZeroFcksGven I would fire most of them. They showed more courage holding the Parents back than saving their kids.
Reassurance is for teachers to have their firearm safety and conceal and carry a mandatory requirement in order to be a teacher.
“They put their lives over the lives of children. They stayed safe.” This makes me so mad. Idk if anyone saw the video of the mom who ran inside and saved her son and someone else’s son. This mother showed more courage than these so called cops.
Hispanic people to save. Another prioritation.
People want to blame the cops either way though. If they go in brave and shoot the wrong guy, or even if they shoot the right guy, people want the cops charged with murder. People attack the cops even when they get a criminal.
There are stories in the news all the time of cops taking out bad guys with long criminal records, and people attack the cops and say there was no need to shoot him.
Now police are too scared to act, a record 350 cops have been shot in the last year. Police have to ask permission of a superior to do anything these days, even a car chase, they have to ask for permission. So I really blame people, the Democrats and media for blaming the cops when they do their jobs.
Its only going to get worse because people defend criminals and attack the police. Many cities cant get enough cops these days. Good cops are leaving and the city has to hire more women, and lower skilled people to do the job.
@@tubester4567 you made some valid points though I'm not so sure it explains what happened here but who knows. In NYC, I witnessed with my own eyes how cops are not engaging criminals like they used to because the overall attitude seems to be... f that, y'all want to hate and blame us, not back us, then f it. I'm going chill and just collect my paycheck.
@@quoc28mytube good point. I didn't think about that. I wonder if the same would have happened if it was a private mostly white school?
@@djudahp Thats what I mean, why risk your life for a public that hates you. Cops have to wait for permission from a supervisor to do anything, the supervisors themselves are scared to make a mistake, so this is the result.
I think this situation is more about being scared of making a mistake, than being scared of the shooter.
I don't think that I could live with myself if I failed those kids & their families so badly! The former swat officer is right, everyone is built differently & some clearly shouldn't be cops....but how is it possible that there wasn't even one cop willing to risk his life for those kids?
It's a syop..nothing happened that wasn't allowed to ..the cia is at work to get retarded sheep who think guns are the problem to vote in more infringements on our second amendment..those there r factsn
The person that took the dog out was The one. I wonder why he’s being hidden.
Easy all you have to do is say I'm a Texan and down there you're automatically at Walker Texas ranger. Trust me Texas is one big joke all hat no cattle
Those cops were all ATHEISTS and if any of them pretend to be Christian their churches need to excommunicate them. I say this because if you get killed risking your life to save a bunch of children that would pretty much guarantee your way into heaven. So them being that afraid makes them atheists.
Because they only like to cosplay Army men, not act like them.
what a more than
SAD situation!
A mother broke her way in when police actively tried to hold her back or arrest her. She went in regardless and rescued her children. The one police officer saying if my kid was in there I would definitely go in there.😢 She should be charged with manslaughter along with the rest of them.
Complete cowardice. The fact that other cops and people defend them is what truly is disgusting. This is extactly why they need to remove qualified immunity from them. They failed save those lives and prevented parents from going in. The names of all those cops need to be released and prosecuted for dereliction of duty
You have no idea how a command structure works. It is like saying you want the whole school arrested because the lunch lady messed up. Would you like, as the janitor, to be arrested because of some decisions someone else made? You were derelict in your duty which is to obey the orders of your superiors...? How can you prove that?
You seem like a great legal mind.
Here here!
Yes, enough with the loss of their jobs. They need to be charged with failure to uphold their oath and punished.
@@elebeu I think you should be charged since you KNOW police are evil but you do nothing to stop them, I want you arrested for dereliction of civic duty since that will hold up just as well as the nonsense you 80iqs are propagating. Imagine being a cop, following orders, then getting arrested by a mob of morons like you. Do you understand that you have a literal legal DUTY to obey orders as a cop? I hope you never serve on a jury, you have a brain which does not operate rationally. Imagine everything that would go wrong in the fog of situations like this if everyone habitually goes rogue so idiots like you don't charge them. Only the commander of any force is responsible for its actions when in direct oversight, if you ever served anything but yourself you'd know that.
@@elebeu I don't think you can charge them. Nothing in their training could have actually successfully prepared them for this situation. It might have attempted to but the only way to learn to deal with these types of situation is experience otherwise you freak out. They're human and they are in shock. They didn't do their job well but it's only because of how disgusting the killer was
When the Twin Towers were burning, you didn't see fire fighters hesitate to go up and do their job. Even knowing how dangerous the situation was, its what you signed up for. Uvalde police were more concerned for their own safety instead of the children. Calling them cowards would be putting it politely.
Or even Police for that matter there were policemen going in and saving people that day too those men would have rather died then waiting back guarding the Hand sanitizer...

“To safe guard lives and property” “OUR LIVES AND PROPERTY”
Loose the badges and get out the way. If your too scared to act just because someone has a loaded gun, you are in the wrong career. Your life will be on the line, you signed up for it. Plenty of other people would have risked their lives to save those children and teachers, IN A HURRYYYYY!!! Like the Mother who pushed pass the officers outside and entered the building, got her children and guided a classroom(s) full of children, out to safety. She went into the unknown, risking lives. She wasn’t trained and did more then what the people of Uvalde pay the responders to do and where they put their trust. Understand that those children and teachers in the class room must have been absolutely terrified, TERRIFIED, PANICKED, how could they let this MONSTER continue.
Imagine what could have been done by civilian bystanders if all those "heroes" weren't there in the way. These posers don't need to be fired, they need to be prosecuted for dereliction of duty.

Most people never mature psychologically past adolescence. There's an old saying, "A wise man doesn't need your advice, and a fool doesn't want it.". How many times have you seen national TV commercials with lines something like, “This product saved my family and I a lot of money.”. Nobody from the actor, to the director, to the production company, to the advertising company, to the product manufacturer cares. (Personally, I usually write out my comments in a word processor, edit them, and then copy and paste them into CZcams.)
@@wavydave Thanks. I see exactly what you’re saying. I was in a hurry typing this up.
Did she save kids the room the shooter was in
it looked like they were afraid to do their jobs which cost those children and teachers their lives. I wonder if any of those officers are feeling any type of guilt for failing at their job..
Almost 400 cops of different agencies were at the scene and during the 77 minutes they waited to kill the shooter, several kids were shot and died during those 77 minutes. Note 1 cop risked his life for these kids, not 1 cop dared to face the shooter, they were busy hyping each other up or adjusting their gear or washing their hands or looking at their phones and when they neared the classroom and heard a shot or something else they ran back for cover, incredible cowards and poorly excuses for law enforcement!! They all should be fired and never work in law enforcement again!!
If nobody is ultimately held accountable for this, I’m done.
The punisher screen saver that the one officer had is laughable. This dude thinks he's so extremely badass, yet he wouldn't save elementary school children from a gunman.

"Sometimes it's just a roll of the dice on who shows up that day" This is the reason you should never let police be in charge of your personal safety.
And a great reason to get a concealed carry and train so your proficient
And also a reason to not blindly “back the blue” like the extreme right seems to do. Some of them are cowards and others are even murderers. Stay armed my friends.
Hey Mr. SWAT guy. Good for you that you trying make yourself out to be some kind of hero telling us what others did wrong.
You actually tell the world that the cop wiping his hands in hand sanitizer is is Code Black and doesn’t know what’s going on.
This indicates to me that you may not be as experienced in these situations as you’re trying to portray.
I was a street cop and training recruits in the squad of a large violent city for 30 yrs. We carried hand sanitizer wipes in our pockets for lots of reasons.
One reason I would pull out a wipe and use it was to get the sweat and oils off my hands.
Many many times I was in stressful situations with my gun out and sometimes for long periods of time. Our hands would get slippery from nervous sweat and in the summer months from just the heat. I could wipe my palms on my pants a couple times but what always did a better job to get that sweat and oil off was to take 10 seconds and wipe my hands with the sanitizing wipe. It gave me a better grip on my gun.
You are an embarrassment to cops. Of all people you as a cop should know that you don’t know what was happening, what the cops were being told or knew or how they were reacting to the stress without being there.
You’re a puke that isn’t telling the world that had those cops defied orders, without knowing why the Chief now believed it to be a barricaded suspect, and force entry without authorization and caused the death of more kids they would be crucified by the media, the parents, the public, politicians, civil attorneys, probably you too and then their city would’ve denied them qualified immunity for disobeying orders or not following policy.
You make me sick with your self-righteous analysis of this situation. You may have the respect of the libtards and wannabes but you don’t have the respect of this 30 yr street cop.
so since you are keen on defending these cops i suppose you agree the proper response to hearing a singular teenager shooting up a bunch of grade schoolers is doing nothing? these guys had training, they had equipment, they had guns. those children had nothing. that teenager likely had the most experience in shooting from playing call of duty on the game system.
"Training" cannot be defined as a classroom lecture.
It MUST be done as a force-on-force exercise with MILES or Simunition.
An unwatched locked door is not a barrier. It's a speed bump.
If you just give everybody Stop The Bleed training, you can save a lot of lives.
All emergency responders should have hands-on medical training. All of our local and state LEO carry tourniquets.
Although tourniquets are being over done…. You need field med dressings too.
Do you have a med kit in your vehicle? Why not?
This guy stated everything eloquently and factual. This is the guy or mindset you want in this type of situation.
Agreed; he was measured and eloquent, a mark of experience and expertise.

We need to hire more SWAT officers
How would you know? We’re you there in that school? It could just be the mindset of a good blow hard prevaricator.
@@lilqtshowie i disagree, Its not quantity but QUALITY that we need. We need to improve the training regimen and/or lengthen it so we can start having some tougher cops. I mean have you seen the guys that swatted the place? Most of them looked like they were pretty out of shape and I remember seeing an officer who almost was obese in a different clip. Not just that but, we need to change the mindsets through this training so they will do their job. While at it, I feel like cops that actually respond in times like this should get an award or some extra pay to motivate them.
@@wingsoficarus1139 We need fire all cops and hire navy seals… they’re better trained and would have gone in

When there's an innocent bystander minding their own business, they act like they're all big and bad.
Qualified immunity can’t end soon enough!
No one seems to be mentioning that this happened because the staff broke the rules and left the security doors open.???
I still can't believe this has happened. They were selfish, and cowardly. An entire team of them failed those children and these teachers. They need to be fired.
I mean nothing bad with this but would you have charged in despite not being ordered by the commander and possibly having been shot in the head by an assualt rifle the moment you showed yourself?
It just bugs me that people sit in judgement over people who were clearly in over their heads. They're not machines they're people with families and faced with the real posibility of never seeing them again. I can understand that and I probably would have frozen up too. They're not military.
The team tasked with this particular action should probably be fired and the one commanding definitely should but show a little empathy. They're not cowards they're just human.
I know it's not popular to side with people who failed to save children but yeah I feel like people expect too much of them. The swat team sure, they're hired specifically to deal with dangerous situations and I don't understand why they didn't act there but the rest are just cops, they cite tickets most of the time and most never actually have to use their gun (at least one would hope so).
I feel like I have to clarify this. Of course I think something went horribly wrong but I think people are putting way too much focus on the regular police officers. If half the focus went to actually fixing the core problem maybe there could be a chance for something meaningfull to actually be done to combat it such that regular cops don't have to be expected to act like military.
@@mugogrog I feel you
@@mugogrog The regular police were outfitted and trained better than this 18 year old. There is literally no excuse for this incompetence here and I truly don’t understand why there are people like you still trying to defend this LMAO.

@@mugogrog There could be many reasonable explanations as to 'why' it happened the way it did - lack of training, not experienced in this situation, etc. But 'that' it happened should still be considered unacceptable under any circumstance. It's unfortunate for all involved: the children and their families, the officers who likely now live with massive guilt and their families, and the whole community whose way of life is shaken. There is no good side to it, at all. But if as a society we don't want it to happen again, then we have to start with pointing out what went wrong, including poor leadership, poor training, maybe poor staffing and recruiting, etc.

@@jaypie8 You either lose your job there and engage and put down the shooter and get 1,000 other job offers all over the country. Or you sit there and work for a POS department who doesn’t value the lives of children. The job shouldn’t even be up for debate if kids are dying in a classroom.
@@jaypie8 Exactly. We all want everyone to storm in there immediately & get the teachers & kids to safety before they bleed out while putting the shooter out of commission in the process but there's a chain of command that HAS to be followed or we're disciplined.
“Their training didn’t tell them to run away”
Best Quote I’ve heard yet.
From my understanding, there were 400 people (all law enforcement) on scene. That is 400 people who should be looking for new jobs. fire them all.
ITS OFFICERS SAFETY FIRST. What part of that don’t you understand? Why is everyone in an uproar?
notice how the cops originally tried to divert attention away from themselves by saying the shooter got in through an open backdoor propped open by a teacher
A Outdoor School Door won't stop a Willfull Crazy Shooter. You could shoot Windows to gain Entry or enter by shooting any Door Windows and then turn the Knob or push the Door
That cowardly officer that was using hand sanitizer instead of his weapon will never be able to wipe the blood of those innocent children off of his hands.
I’m willing to bet he sleeps like a baby at night.He probably has zero guilt over this.Because the police culture and mentality breeds a sociopathic mind state.
That was a man who was so out of his depth he didn't even know what he was doing or why, anymore.
He’s scared of both germs and criminal on site.
He didn't look like a police officer. He looked more like volunteer type person. But if you look he was just on his phone. Then later he was looking at what the officers had and was just helping himself to what was there and putting it in his back pocket. Loser
If you didn't sign up for law enforcement for moments like this, why did you sign up at all? To give parking tickets? There is nothing more important than responding to what happened at Uvalde, and they showed that they weren't truly willing to answer the call.
Meanwhile in another part of the country a young man with no police training, nobody armor and no military grade weapon stood in a shopping mall and heard shots fired. Within two minutes he found the suspect and neutralize the threat. It’s a sad day when police who have been trained or should have been trained to handle these types of situations are being shown up by the average citizen carrying his own gun.
Yes that guy is a hero..he stopped the shooter much before he could hurt more people..
"Their training didn't make them run away" This guy knows the truth.
This man have spoken the truth in his own perspective with empathy and honesty. Just no words to justify any reasoning whatsoever on why those police broke their own sworn duty.

Mizz Parker, Hello 👋🏾
I've cleared a few rooms (100's) overseas, several with armed assailants. We did this in immediate proximity to civilians and on several occasions we rescued people (and children) with multiple gunshot wounds. Decisive action, immediate medical attention, and getting the injured to a hospital quickly resulted in 0 preventable deaths. We were tested the very first day we hit sector. If we can do it, with 0 experience (my entire team went from green to combat veteran in one day), vs people with RPG's, grenades and belt-fed weapons, surely a few 100 law officers can take down one guy with an AR-15...
It's very clichê to say but thank you for your service. I really hope that the tax payer is doing you justice
Thank you 🙏🏾
Preach!
You need to train police then. Thank you.
Exactly
I was trained to go in before SWAT gets there, you are the First line of Defense. I knew right away these guys should have went in. I'm retired now, but I know someone should have had the guts to save those children's lives !
You weren't trained for hostage situations and it shows. Run in when they can actively kill more kids. Goodjob.
they had even shields, body armour and rifles its not like they were two people with only handguns and a tank top
I agree with you
Someone did have the guts to go in. The mother of one of the kids went in and brought her daughter out.
B.S
These cops were cowards. I spent 27 years as a first responder. I was not the guy with the gun ( though I was an Army infantryman at one time; so I understand the need for chains of command) but on emergency response for technical mountain rescue operations. I'd often say to my team, "If the Incident Commander looked overwhelmed, preoccupied with ordering donuts and coffee, too damned worried about the safest response for the rescuers, or waiting for additional information while the situation worsened", then I told my guys: "Get the gist and make your move." If arrested and charged for not following the IC, take the jury trial and make your case. I would back them up 100%.
ICS is a dead system enacted by those who want to play but not get in the game. It has usages as a logistical and control system but not command system. Commanders are those on scene. Watch We Were Soldiers or Heartbreak Ridge when the logistic Major said halt and Clint's character with his team moved on to the objective. Again, sure the IC was at fault but so was everyone else.
.The mantra too often of the fire services is "Your Emergency Is Not My Emergency." It is disgusting rhetoric I hear too often of those who wear the fire barge. It has now creeped into policing.
If it comes down to it, you can live a coward, or die a hero.
He called them “cowards”, “didn’t do what they signed up to do”. That says everything
"I'm just trying to get home safe to my family every day." Translation: I want to be treated and paid like a hero without actually being one.
Yes.. because police officers are paid like hero's. What a ridiculous remark.. police have been vilified to death, have average wages, have to make split second decisions that could potentially ruin their lives and their families as well if they make a mistake.

Disgraceful. Fire all of them and run them out of town. They failed their community.
This just shows people in EVERY state needs to carry and teachers also. Is the cops are too scare to do what they signed up for than we need everyday people to carry
i disagree. Untrained, terrified civilians carrying around guns are likely to make a shooting situation even more dangerous.
@@horsepanther you think that I'm saying untrained... come on sorry I didn't fully spell it out for you.
Glad to hear someone calling it like it is. Way too often people make excuses for others but there are certain types of jobs and scenarios where you must put others lives before your own and this was one of them.
I can't even wrap my head around the idea of letting children be murdered while I sit back crapping my pants.
There is no requirement to put others lives before their own. Maybe in an ideal world, sure, where everyone is morally true, but the supreme court has already ruled the police have no obligation to put themselves In harm's way to prevent harm from happening to you. They are given special powers to complete their job if they decide to do it. If they decide not to there really no consequences. Just a way of keeping the enforcement arm of the powerful secure.
Neither the Constitution, nor state law, impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm - even when they know the harm will occur,” said Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law. “Police can watch someone attack you, refuse to intervene and not violate the Constitution.”
The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has only a duty to protect persons who are “in custody"
In the cases DeShaney vs. Winnebago and Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales, the supreme court has ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens. In other words, police are well within their rights to pick and choose when to intervene to protect the lives and property of others - even when a threat is apparent.
In both of these court cases, clear and repeated threats were made against the safety of children - but government agencies chose to take no action.

Saw some the report on this shooting what jumped out is there was nearly 400 officer's on scene.
The cops in the hallway had at least two shields and with all those cops someone had to have some flash bangs.
Cops do the no knock raid on places. So one those agencies could come up with atleast two
And these guys are trained on how to enter stacked
It is amazing that a woman jumped the fence entered this school and got a whole class out .

It's scary to face death but when you hear children screaming that usually goes away unless you literally don't care in your heart too bad real men were not the first to arrive
Perfectly said and right to the point.
they were all shot up before the cops got there. you can see why they thought it was a hostage situation.
You are absolutely right.
@@lettherebelight620 No, suspect was shooting still when they first entered that hallway. I'm sure they even heard it as they made their way into that hallway from another part of the school. So, if he's "barricaded by himself" like the chief kept saying, then who's he shooting at -- no one, the chalkboard, empty desks? Chief was a coward and was making up every excuse (rifles, shields, SWAT, then keys to a classroom that isn't locked) not to engage. Pure cowardice.
@@lettherebelight620 , that's not a hostage situation. That's an active shooter/mass casualty situation. Without a doubt, kids bled out and died, that could have been saved if they had nutted up and made entry.

“Their training didn’t tell them to run away” this is probably the difference between being a hero or a zero. Did you run into the fire or away from it? No one knows what they’ll do before the crisis, but you’ll always be labeled after by what you chose to do or not do.
Training and experience mitigates the risk of being shot or worse. Outfitted with protective gear and arms helps mitigate that risk even more. The children had none of that.
You would run, just like the vast majority of people.
A side note, but in first aid training you're told to avoid going into burning houses and to just call the firefighters (unless you know where someone is and they aren't too far away). Too big of a risk for yourself- it's dark, but it's better to not rush in and only have one death than to rush in and have two. Running away from a fire does not make you a coward.
@@katra5673 well that's the point. you don't want a citizen or paramedic running into a burning building, that's the firefighters job. you don't want a citizen or paramedic running into a school with a shooter inside, that's the police officers job...
