Texas top cop denies he said Uvalde cops wouldn’t lose their jobs in internal meeting

Texas Department of Public Safety director Col. Steven McCraw vowed to hold cops responding to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde accountable. But internal meeting records show McCraw declaring instead that "no one would lose their jobs." See what happened when CNN's Shimon Prokupecz confronted the Texas DPS director with his conflicting statements. #CNN #News

  1. When you tell somebody people are saying they’re corrupt and they say that’s fine, usually means they’re corrupt.

    1. @coolramone That’s Republic politicians. Every accusation from a Republic is a confession of their own guilt. Every time. Zero exceptions.

    2. @coolramone _You use the word “idiot” like you are familiar with it._ Folks like you stumbling around it’s rather difficult for it to slip our minds.

    1. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individual list,in some months time you will be ecstatic with the decision you make today. 💰

  2. Sometimes I just hate being from America. It’s sad to think we just become numb to this. The leaders will send their condolences. Talk about it and go on like nothing happened. Something needs to change.

    1. @BlacProphet yes it would be an awakening for me to run to them if I got shot and killed saving them I would, I have 24 grandchildren and I would die for them as well.

    2. @Sean McCartney _You can easily be “Formally” from America!_
      Considering your other posts elsewhere, that would be an excellent thing to apply to yourself.

    1. How is it hardly anyone understands racism is a huge factor here !
      This is very disturbing to see people become so clueless to the reality of the situation.

  3. I trust this man as far as I can throw him 😠 HE’S DISGUSTING!
    When will the children and teachers ever get JUSTICE ⚖️
    THESE VILE COWARDS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAILURE TO DO THEIR JOB!

  4. Unfortunately, it is far too late. At this time, and for some time, no one will believe
    anything that comes from law enforcement, especially in this matter.

  5. Why is he whispering?
    He is on camera talking on a microphone and he still trying to hide informations smh 🤦‍♀️

    1. Passive aggressive. Puffing up over this little man with his little microphone. Only thing missing was talking through his teeth.

    1. @Jason C. Exactly. If I had done my job the way they did… I would’ve been fired on the spot. No. I’m not in law enforcement. I just believe any of us would lose our jobs if we handled them in a lousy way.

    2. That’s the first response though; they suspend them with pay, investigate; if found guilty of failure of duty or whatever they get punished and if not they still got payed and weren’t screwed by the bills they gotta pay.

  6. and we’re supposed to believe that a random citizen with a gun will save us when our own law enforcement can’t get the job done? This is ridiculous

    1. In the best of circumstances 3 times out of 100 a good guy with a gun creates a positive outcome. The other 97 times, the good guy with a gun creates a worse outcome or has no affect at all. Those are factual numbers.

    2. @Icelake Yeah, people think they’re John Wick cause they’re armed but it turns out that shooting at a stationary target is a little different than shooting at someone who’s trying to kill you especially when you have no experience in a situation like that .

  7. Ultimately it’s the soon to be former governor that is responsible for this deficiency, and many other shortcomings.

    1. @Shawn Newell good call, Texas is big state and deserves a leader that cares about all Texans not just NRA members and big oil.

  8. He’s right. There was no cover-up. We all saw the cowardice first hand. Impossible to cover-up what everyone watched.

  9. If anyone is still wondering whether or not Police in America face ANY ACCOUNTABILITY…. this situation is the best proof you will ever get that there is none.

  10. My god, this reporter has nerves of steel and resolve to hold Texas law enforcement’s feet to the fire of accountability. The anguish and passion in the reporter’s voice was so effective.

    Every time I think about those poor children and teachers, waiting in vain for the police to rescue them. A child calling 911 and quietly, calmly asking for the police while classmates, teachers, were dead and dying. It’s absolutely sickening and the GOP have lead us to this coffin of reality. 🐘 ⚰️

  11. When you or I am involved in a crime, right away, the Police State releases everything about us. Not so much when they are the criminals.
