- A new video obtained by the Austin Herald-Statesman newspaper shows the haunting moments inside the Uvalde school shooting. The footage shows the 18-year-old shooter entering the school and police waiting 77 minutes before taking him down. However, investigative reporter Tony Plohetski is receiving intense backlash for leaking the video. Several family members of the victims are angry that they did not get to see the video first. Others say the criticism is misdirected.
Never understand why people would be mad at the leaker. It shows exactly why we need change in police policies. Change doesnt come when you hide the problem.
for real whoopie cushion needs to chill
@@meyekol Whoopi Goldberg is nothing more than a bloated bag of fart-gas.
All she and those hens do on the View is gobble incoherently.
its not that change is at all required in this context, its more of a terrible lack of will power from the Chief along with the officers on scene. the fact that they didn't stop the threat earlier is not because of bad policies.

The guy who leaked the video deserves a medal. The world would never know how incompetent and cowardly the police force were. Parents of victims should have been enraged against the police for not doing their duty instead of blaming the wrong person.
it's both the shooter's and police's fault
yeah. Other Texas parents whose kids weren't at Uvalde also deserve to know this
as always, they blame the person that points out the problem, but not the trouble makes itself.

@@Dragon-mv6vy Because the trouble maker is the obvious problem by default, we don't need added problems on top of that. Crime is a thing that happens, but if your job is to protect you can make a situation a lot worse. Stop trying to take the blame away from them.

The fact that one of the officers is reported to be a teachers husband and the fact that she got shot and he didn’t run to her is appalling.
He must have an affair in the side and kind of maybe glad she's gone, there's no other explanation for his behaviour
Y’all don’t realize cops have bosses too. He can’t just run away the school doing whatever he wants.

The husband of one the teachers was being HELD BACK from saving the children and his wife. His gun was taken by his fellow officers while attempting to save all of them.
Actually there was vids of that officer wanting to go in but was shut down to to his superrior telling him not to go in and has a lower ranking officer he had to obey his superior

I've been shooting for a long time and I've seen plenty of legal gun owners that probably shouldn't have firearms.. maybe a weekend safety and proficiency course along with a mental eval and then a shall issue permit... that idea does not infringe on the 2nd amendment whatsoever..and I know I'm in the minority as far as legal firearms owners but I know that more guns, easier and higher cap mags equals more and deadlier shootings.. not hard to figure out.. but almost everyone in my firearms peer group will do mental gymnastics to believe what I said isn't true.. but it is, more guns easier equals more shootings..

I don’t understand why the victims’ families got mad that this got leaked. Their anger should be towards the police department, not towards the person who showed the horrible actions by police responders. Also I think that it is mainly the supervisors’ faults for not ordering them in sooner.

@@Lemosa3414 dude. Read my whole comment. I said it was mainly the supervisors at fault
@Golden Galaxies that’s what I was saying
They're angry because, the leak was literally used for views and content for news / social view...that's the reality of the situation.. because if the news person actually cared he would of shown it to them first and then showed it to the world but he didn't. And I'm guessing he didn't even notified them on it either , they mostly found out from someone watching the news. Apart from that ...they wouldn't have really known what was in the video that has to deal with seeing the guy that killed their kids....it's still sensitive for them so try to be understanding with what they have to go through and deal with for the rest of their lives
The fact that they had military style armor and still refused to do anything for 77 minutes is sickening
What kind of man stands around checking his phone when he knows that the love of his life is slowly bleeding to death a few feet away, stuck in a room with the gunman? How can anyone hear the sounds of those children screaming, begging for help and not have their blood boil? It just goes to show that having military equipment doesn't make someone a soldier.

For those complaining about the leak, do you want a shooting like this to happen again because the cops in this incident were not held to account? At least they deleted the Childrens’ screams. For all of this the journalists involved deserve immense credit.
Or so you want another shooting due to the leak of information encouraging other suicidal individuals to do the same thing. Which is what social media has been doing and is probably the cause of many.

The black woman is Whoopi Goldberg from The View and the woman crying, child was killed in this shooting. Whoopi stated that if the parents were going to see the video, don't leak it give them a chance to see it, then release it. The mother said screw you to the journalist because they were supposed to watch it but it was made public without their knowledge causing them more pain.
atleast? we need to see and hear the entire thing UNALTERED. the screaming is probably a dead give away that they were just standing around while literal screaming is taking place. wtf? so they erased the most damning evidence?
If those officers were scared, then they're in the wrong line of work. It's okay to be scared, but it's your job to be in that situation.
Exactly. There's always the possibility that they could lose their lives. If that's too much to bear, then don't sign up for the job.

Beautifully said
Supreme Court has already ruled that our safety is not their concern. They have no legal obligation to save, put their lives at risk or die for anyone of us.
This what happens when you give people the job of protecting the nation for just passing a physical and a ged. No education to the fullest.
What always got under my skin, long before these reports had come out, and was how much quickly the police had been to congratulate themselves on a job well done. Not even a full day had passed, and the police were on camera talking to a reporter about how many lives they had saved and how well they had performed in that moment while hardly speaking a word of empathy or compassion to the families of these kids.
Dont forget they tried to make excuse to make the school and the teachers look bad by saying the door was LOCKED. imbciles lot of them.

I can’t imagine the pain of these parents and loved ones who had to watch it because it is heartbreaking.
A mom has more balls than them 😕
Family members needs to aim their anger towards the police officers that waited an hour before going in , they literally could have stopped the attack but did not
They need to aim their anger toward the lawmakers who won't pass common sense gun reform.
By the time they arrived and as they were outside the building & classroom - that monster had started and was finishing up his carnage. By the time the cops even entered that building, they ( victims) were GONE ALREADY.
@@JESUSISLORDforever888 I don't believe that, but even if it were true it's not a good enough excuse. There is no way the cops knew how many kids were still alive or bleeding out. They took too long plain and simple. Maybe nothing will come of from this horrific event, maybe the cops won't face any consequences for their failures. They will still live with guilt for the rest of their lives and that's enough to drive a person crazy.
@@JESUSISLORDforever888 some were gone , not all of them , he was still shooting while man’s sanitising his hands
@@OscarTheGrouchy They already have back round checks. Virginia tech shooter used 2 pistols so the Ar-15 and the magazine isn't the problem.
This is seriously so sad. The fact that the cops were right there and didn’t do nothing makes me upset, especially knowing that many kids/teachers lives could’ve been saved. This is so disappointing. 😔
Its worse than just that a cop with a rifle had a chance and waited on permission to engage.
If you’ve been trained to shoot someone for years and the fist thing you shoot is a kid. Yikes, probably some emotional effects from that.
Not only that but they violated their own rule. Under Texas law enforcement during an active shooting you're supposed to get in there even if there's no back up to end the shooting as quickly as possible. They had back up and STILL WAITED.
@@JasonH17 You don't need permission to engage during an active shooting. Especially knowing that they were already chasing him
@@darienford860 they were literally right on him, I’m in disbelief that the screams of kids and the sounds of bullets carried on for 1 hour and 17 minutes - its appalling
Just imagine being that kid who came out of the bathroom
No way bro they have armour that looks military and a kid with no armour yet they decided to wait?
what really bothers me the most is that the officers outside the building were tackling the parents trying to save their kids inside the school, one mom even went in to save her 2 kids. This whole situation is both sad and sickening.
Because parents doing the job they were supposed to be doing might make the citizens rethink their ridiculous budget and they couldn't have that could they?
@@nightmarefanatic1819 it really goes both ways. You could say that if they weren't being "defunded", they would have better training for situations like these, and wouldn't be sitting back while innocents die.
@@BenStro the amount of cowardice doesn't get any higher or lower with the amount of money in the bank.q
@@BenStro this is Texas they were never defunded..actually they get 40% of the entire city budget and had just did a active shooter training course the week before this happened..no amount of shooting paper targets is gonna make someone not a coward
Could someone explain why they weren’t doing anything? Like what’s the reason?
The fact that the officer is just standing there checking his phone while his wife is telling him she's been shot is an actual new level of cowardice I've yet to see anywhere else.
you know he was one the only cops who tried going after the shooter right? he was disarmed for it as well
@@vincentalley2121 he's definitely armed with a pistol in the video. Also this is just 3 minutes after the shooter walked in. The cops have been lying about the whole situation.
That’s likely why he was on his phone. Checking for a text / call desperately from his wife. Apparently he’s the cop who tried to run but the other officers stopped him and threatened with detainment. His wife died in that school.
I would have gone in without a gun if I had to. I wouldn't have waited for permission to go. Nothing would stop me from attempting to save my wife and the innocent children. Maybe I am different, I am a veteran. Those cops were more worried about themselves than those children and teachers. Shameful cowards!
@@1955RKE indeed your not a man if you wouldn’t go rush in their and risk your life for your wife and lots of kids for mine it’s their job!
This is disturbing! What a cowardly creep her husband was.
They should sack the entire police force, absolutely hopeless, cowards
I understand the parents wanting to see this video before it being released to the public, but he did the right thing to show it to the world. It's very different hearing it took 77 minutes, and seeing how it played out. This is truly horrifying watching, and that's without the screams. Arriving after 3 minutes, but standing around knowing an active shooter is ending countless of children's lives is truly despicable. I can guarantee unarmed civilians would have done more than this useless police department (who was also fully armed and in a big crowd) had they had the opportunity.
And I also wonder how many of those children could have been saved had they acted as soon as they got there instead of possibly laying there bleeding out! Horrifying video watching those cops do nothing for so long!
@@Carol-wn4en I wonder how many more children could have been saved if liberals didn’t keep voting to defund police, which in turn takes away training for situations like this. Yes they didn’t do their job, but if they had the correct cqb training they wouldn’t have had to wait for Marshalls to show up
@@bradleysitsandsipstea33 Police were never defunded. In fact, pull Police budgets for your local city, Uvalde, etc and you will see that Police have been super-funded within the last two years.
Stop speaking in catch phrases and simply research your town's expenditures.
I don't understand why the parents wanted to see the video first, I mean it won't make any difference and if it's not leaked, there's a chance they didn't even know the video exists.
They were outside arresting parents for trying to go in.
Poor children. That’s disgusting. The initial police response. All the cops should be terminated.
Ah yes, a group of cops doing bad, and all the cops got the backlash.
@@cobaren5883 Of course they retreated like cowards dude. If that was the military they would be discharged for that.
@@Jmitch767 CRY TO MOMMY LITTLE DIAPERS HAHA
@Kevin Teachout CRY TO MOMMY
I believe that BEFORE the officers even arrived, the shooter had started his massacre and was only “finishing up” while they (cops) were outside having a “huddle” on WHAT TO DO. By the time they FINALLY took him down, those 21 people were already GONE😭😭😭😭😭🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sickening and pathetic. Shame on these officers!
Yet we see how brutal the police force is against black people.
It”s disturbing.
The cops should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!
They know the risks of the job, they know what they signed up for but they still didn’t have the courage to go in and drop that shooter. Definitely the worst Police Response I have ever seen!
@@axi5724 He wasn't a cop responding to a shooting at that school. Those cowards were.
@@axi5724 The people who managed to stop the shooter also were not cops.
I think it's a bit harsh to criticize all the cops like that.
We should be getting mad at the shooter anyway.
@@nekonomicon2983 Finally, a logical comment. Everyone blames guns and cops, but never the shooter.
Courage? The cops had orders to stand down, blame the cop who gave the order not to engage the shooter.
Leaking that footage was the right move. The police officers should be held responsible and punished for waiting over an hour.
Leaking footage will only encourage bad people, and harm others
@Jake Ashton every one of them that showed up and failed to act
@@seekerpro486 nah
@Jake Ashton any of those officers could have taken individual action and they would've been hailed as heroes
@Haku Yuki yes they do, their job is literally "to protect and serve" and they did neither. Sorry I expect people to do their jobs
My heart absolutely shattered when I heard teacher scream at the kids to get in the rooms and hurts even more knowing that the cops took over an hour to confront the shooter while that was going on
This happen to me in my high school back in 2017 because someone broke into the school and it was during lunch time as well
I am truly devastated that this happened. I don’t understand how the cops could just stand there and do nothing after hearing kids screaming. They had their whole lives ahead of them. Don’t be an officer if you’re afraid to risk your life!!
Rest In Peace to the students and teachers who lost their lives. 🙏❤️
People become police bcuz it pays very well. Any sane person would’ve risked their life to confront the shooter. If the shooter is pressured by the police then he wouldn’t have shot so many kids. Imo I’ve lost my mind if I was standing with 20+ fully armed officers and listening to gunfire and children screaming for 77 minutes and do nothing

The US police and the military both have 1 similar thing, and that’s letting the innocents suffer. They’re no different in each other now they’re causing havoc in their own country and other countries in the Middle East.
Thank you to the leaker!
Imagine being an police officer and trained 5 years just to wait for that long shame on you officers.
Stay safe guys even if I don’t know you I love u and be safe!
They seem to have trained themselves to just hold on to the other guy's shoulders.
pretty sure they don't need 5 years of training to be a cop in america
To the person who just deleted their comment defending the cops saying “they’re only human,”. There was 20+ of them vs 1 child. They stood there and listened to kids scream as they were being shot at. They did nothing but watch. They aren’t human they’re monsters.

It's truly heartbreaking that they stood by while kids were screaming not a hallway down from them. Originally I was taught to believe the police were here to protect us in times of need, but that didn't happen here. There could have been far fewer victims if they only did their job right.
They need to fire these coward cops. They had no sense of urgency to eliminate the threat.
@@twins4life274 There's a mother who saved her own children (and possibly a few others) who is being stalked by the same police department and is being threatened with arrest. Look it up and pay attention to it. If that woman winds up dead within a few weeks, just know it probably won't be an accident.
@@nckhed I saw that. The fact that an unarmed mother went in the school to risk her life to save her kid and others really shows how much of a coward those heavily armed pot bellied police officers were.

Bingo. Someone attempting to rob a bank they’ll be there in two minutes flat. Someone broke into your house? Ehh 10-15 minutes if at all
Abseloutely insane. Cops aren't here to wait that long to make contact. They should have done it ASAP. Extremely dissapointing.
Officers become officers knowing sacrifice is inevitable in times like these. The thought “I don’t want to get shot, I don’t want to die” is the thought that rushed through every officers mind. Now think of how many defenseless kids were thinking the same thing when a man starts shooting everybody in their classroom. Sickening selfishness.
How is that selfishness lmao you wouldn't rush a shooter armed properly
@@gobber2096 Because it’s their job they signed up to protect people and failed at it
They become officer because the job is easy and they get to harass people. It’s a breeding ground for sociopaths.
I’ve never heard or seen firefighters refusing to go into a burning building because they feared for their lives. Or doctors and nurses refusing to help patients that could get them sick. Being a police officer is the only job I know where you can decide not to do your job because of fear and not only remain employed, but still be viewed as a hero. You signed up to be a police officer so you have to be brave or you chose the wrong profession. I don’t care how scary it is. Suck it up and do your job or find another. They had weapons unlike the children and teachers.
@@lashawnshante6332
This is such a great comment and it point to the issue with police.
What an embarrassment to our country. Sure, each state and district has their own governing bodies but I can’t believe there’s video footage of American law enforcement officers allowing children to be literally gunned down while they stood back, WAITING, safely out of harm’s way.
Whoever was making the decisions (to not do their job or allow the group of armed and armored men to do their job) should be prosecuted for refusing to serve and protect.
Doctors and nurses can be prosecuted for harmfully or fatally administering the wrong medicine to a patient even if it’s irrefutably an accident. How’s this any different?
He's not black enough
I believe it was the principal n whoever was in charge with da cops cuz its jus common sense in NY eyes but 🤦♂️ I hope most of them live with dat guilt of not helping them kids when they needed em da most
As a european, I was surprised your swat team didnt roll in with RPGs and .50 BMG Rifles, woulda ended this in a jiffy.
@@Romeren as an American I have a sick feeling the police didn’t do anything because it was primarily an immigrant population
The police doesn’t have any legal obligation to protect anyone. Castle Rock v. Gonzales and Deshaney v. Winnebago County established this.
Great Video!
Those poor families must have been they must have been scared I can't imagine what the families must be going through 😔 my heart goes out to the families ❤️
This breaks my heart. I can’t believe that those officers did nothing. It was one man and there were like 20 officers. Those lives could have been saved.
One “untrained” man and there were like 20 “trained” officers.
@@subscribeit236 EXACTLY
They can’t do anything without command giving them the go, especially against a barricaded subject like that. Just review the New York I think it was shootings, black man kills multiple cops in a race crime killing spree barricades himself in a room and it’s impossible to get him out. They literally had to use C4 strapped to a bomb defuse bot to blow the entire room up, and it’s obvious you can’t do that in a school area. Idk why idiots like y’all can’t understand or just do research on police protocols, sure command 100% could’ve done it faster (tho this was prob one of the CIAS weird things)
You wouldn't do much for $18 an hour either :)). Hard to imagine people throwing their lives away for such a job
The untrained kid was willing to die. While the cops didn't want to risk everything they have. It's understandable why they we're scared.
One officer was standing there sanitizing his hands while there were lives being taken. Apparently germs were more dangerous during that moment.
He might have been very anxious honey all you do is talk 🥱
