Wow! I really cannot believe what I am seeing and hearing
They messed up big time
@cart ninja I’m actually in shock 😲. Those poor kids.
Maybe they didn’t take it seriously.
I’m so outraged they would allow this too happen.
Really!! 19 cops in hallway waiting backup
@Annetta Vicckies no they knew it was real but just froze . Incompetence at it’s best
Very sad news
Response Error? The police refused to go in and save the children.
That’s not an error – that’s on purpose.
No that’s incompetence
These are officers so are afraid and incompetent. They should not be in this line of work if they cannot step up when it’s time to work!!!
The story is implausible!
No proper lockdown by the teacher to close the door and let the information informed to the whole school. Police didn’t enter school and just watched.
The cowards sat outside and waited for the gunman to use up all his ammo on the kids.
Fixed that for you.
Yeah it’s the teachers fault for thinking they were safe and could leave a door open in the Texas heat what a coward this guy is do your job
This is how an entire town loses trust in it’s police department. Utter failure, now they try to pass the buck.
@Daniella Sanché • Their best is everyone else’s worst, the mother that was put in cuffs and then let go certainly did her best when she broke into the school and brought her own children to safety while the cops did nothing to prevent innocent lives from being taken by a psycho.
@Daniella Sanché if that’s their best I am truly terrified to see their worst.
Only way they could have done worse is if they joined the gunman and started shooting!!!
@Daniella Sanché Their best? 12 min with the suspect outside and an hr with him inside and the cops did NOTHING. They were fighting with parents outside who desperately were trying to go and save their kids because the cops weren’t doing anything. They pinned a crying father down and held a TAZER TO HIM!!!
@Daniella Sanché a bit early to be this drunk, no?
The blood of these children is on the hands of the Uvalde Police Department. They are cowards that refused to go in and also prevented parents from saving their children.
And on Cruz and Abbott
Remind me, Why should we be dependent on police for our safety?
depending on a cop for help is worse then depending on a dog to pilot a plane. We need to get back to open carry!
@Ace96 At least dogs can follow commands🤣🤣
The story is implausible!
This is shameful.
How do 19 officers stand in a hallway while children are being massacred for more than 20 minutes….to wait for shields. What a disgrace!
The story is implausible!
So 19 police officers were just inside the hallway for an hour with shields ? Foh
Cowardly police inaction. In a situation where a gunman is shooting innocent children you must throw caution to the wind and put yourself at risk. I have a suspicion that the gunman killed himself and the police are trying to take credit for it to make it appear they did something.
@Ryan If you are trying to make excuses for dozens of cops not going into a classroom to save the lives of children it tells me all I want to know about you.
@Ryan Your grammar is very poor. It’s “your” not “you’re” and “would have” not “would of.”
@Don Adams Since your grasp of current topic is so poor it would be best to change the argument to something more petty like my grammar.
Scandalous and inept response of the local police.
If you wanted to take an active shooter drill live to fool the public, what would you do differently? I really can’t think of anything, it has all the hallmarks.
All male Uvalde PD sit when they P. Such cowards!!
This was a setup plain and simple or you have two cowards that need to fired immediately. Imagine an 18 year old kid scaring/intimidating a big ole Texas Ranger enough for him to turn and run away. 🤔WOW
This story is implausible.
Why did the teacher prop open a door?
why was door propped open by a teacher?
Policemen – 7 on scene – would have found the shooter and engaged within 120 seconds, with a gun fight to the death. This story is implausible.
Their story on this event is even more ludicrous than Pulse!
