Those police officers need to be fired and put in jail and need to answer to those families who lost their babies
Or maybe the parents of the kids should get 1 hr in a building hunting them…. just saying.
@bill blow This cowards with Chief Anaconda never knows what that means, lol.
“Uvalde shooting: Gunman could have been stopped within three minutes – safety official”
If the families of the children and teachers can not get justice then a lawsuit for at least $1 billion against the municipality and the police chief who was in charge and all of the other armed officers at the scene and possibly school officials and especially the person who was supposed to make sure that the doors were all locked shut should ensue. This makes me sick to my stomach every time I hear a news article about this tragedy.
Just the scene commander, the armed officers were told NOT TO GO IN BY THE SCENE COMMANDER
@Mathew Serrano defunding may not mean take all, but the fact it takes any can only cause more issues.
@Meurum Train and what problems did these overpaid cowards solve? They stood by and assaulted parents as their kids died. An off-duty border patrol agent, using his barbers’ shotgun, stopped the shooter. They didn’t solve any problems, they caused them. Defund them
@Mathew Serrano well not in this situation but there’s others.
@Meurum Train ok.. we’re talking Uvalde.. when you want to be on topic or actually contribute something usefull to the conversation, other than blind bootlicking, I’ll be here
When harassing citizens, police always say they care about the public’s safety. Except when the public is getting gunned down in a school room. Then it’s all about officer safety first.
You are absolutely right, it’s sickening what they did.
I want to be part of a giant street protest holding a big sign, “young school children’s lives matter!”
It’s a complete failure and extremely disappointing, the parents had more guts and willing to die than these so called professionals with full gear! Horrible 😤 those parents need to sue that City and that Police Department. I’m a MOTHER and I can’t even imagine. How many children could have been saved, now will never know. People that saying that most people say, this has never happened in our town, city, neighborhood, that’s a thing of the past. Evil 👿 is everywhere now, in every corner and nook and cranny Be vigilant always
Yeah we are supposed to give up our guns for this? No thanks. Not happening.
Video stills from inside the School show police were armed to the teeth with rifles, body armor and ballistic shields but waited 58 minutes before engaging. NOBODY FINDS THAT ODD?!
@x MoCoTommy SO?? How were the Officers outside suppose to know what was going on then???
So Sad for those children and families,How do you have people in these positions or you as a person become or wanna be a police officer but when faced with adversity you then become a coward🤔like Who TF are you,If this is way law enforcement will be going foward our country is in real danger,Who can We trust 🤔💯🙏🏻
Whew some harshe words for someone who ain’t taking accountability. This was extraordinary to hear truth to power. If the governor talked like this instead of cowering to law enforcement. Cops need to be help responsible some sued others jailed.
Thank god they had a diagram of the door they never breached while children were dying. FYI To any uvalde cops – this will not be forgotten and hope you never need help from the public because news flash you won’t get it and the hate for you and your fellow officers is WELL EARNED
@Up Urz reported for hate speech and racism.
If those cops have a heart, they will resign in disgrace. COWARDS.
@Featherless hahaha they don’t protect and serve.
There’s literally a precedent that says they have no obligation to protect people; just property.
Please start thinking. It might help.
move som where whare no one knows them
@ninefinger Jack if true we should all hope that rule changes.If we want to continue to live in a country full of crazy men with guns, which looks like we will be.
@Bravo Mx Are you trolling or just completely ignorant? The police did not act on their training. All police departments in the US pretty much have the same policy for an active shooter in a school. YOU GO IN immediately and without backup if necessary. That is why the investigation into their actions that day is going so poorly for them. When you become a police officer, you understand that some situations like an active shooter in a school, your life is NOT the top priority. It is part of the job and you shouldn’t be a cop if you think it is.
Yet they are still employed, not charged and it’s another day of picking the low hanging fruit. Disgraceful is an understatement.
The punishment will most likely have to come from massive lawsuits/settlements on behalf of the grieving families. The local taxpayers will bear that burden… But the local governments have to learn some way…
The last 2 decades of countless CHILDRENS lives lost and families affected haven’t meant a DAMN THING…
As if we needed the assessment? Everyone saw it for themselves. Police were cowards. Parents tried to help with their own firearms and were detained. Some tased. Absolutely inhumane and everyone who participated in the lack of response needs to lose their job. Kudos to those at the top for actually being the first to admit failure. Still, anyone in that chain of command who didn’t pull the trigger on moving in should be held accountable. Makes the argument for gun owning stronger though. You can’t trust cops anymore.
@Michael Dwyer like you saw, the range is nowhere close to live fire coming at you and having a loving target
@Michael Dwyer shooting 🎯 targets don’t shoot back.
@Michael Dwyer and I agree w you on the cops I’m just saying let’s make it as hard to buy a gun as it is to buy alcohol. At least that’s a decent start. Or maybe just a few background tests. I own guns in a state where it’s tough to get em. Very few mass shootings here but there’s still gun violence.
@LZ you’re sending me mixed signals lol.
1st reply; targets don’t shoot back, but the whole point of practice is to get ahead of that factor. Proper training can teach you how to hit precise targets from a range of distances using various calibers. Any prospective gun owner I personally encourage to go to the range for at least a hundred hours and take the time to try different firearms. From there, take up some lessons with your purchase to really understand and learn to care for and respect your firearm. It’s a serious investment, a powerful weapon, and should be taken seriously. I’m sorry, but quippy statements about targets shooting back I don’t think goes very far as an argument. There is a lot that you can do to become an extremely proficient gun owner without any police or military background.
2nd. In most every instance, it is harder to buy a gun than it is to buy alcohol. Background checks for most everything including gun shows. The only real exceptions are for instances like private sales between friends/family/etc.
If you mean age? We scale that. 18 opens up certain firearms and 21 opens the rest for purchase. If you want to move around how that works or bump people all up to 21, that’s a fair argument. I would then say we need to raise the voting age and driving age to make everything 21 because our priorities aren’t straight there and we shouldn’t move just one age restriction when we are saying they can’t be trusted with each move.
Mental health reporting isn’t mandatory in every state. Crime is more prevalent in cities (at the moment the worst ones are democrat super cities/states like NY, CA, Chicago, Detroit) and illegal gun sales are a major factor. Gang violence is up, politically motivated murders are up, looting is up. Both political parties got polled and voters in both the left and right polled as being split on whether they approve of political violence to achieve political means or not. It’s getting bad out there and it’s exactly why I’m here to simply promote safe gun ownership. Period.
I believe that increased gun ownership will combat crime. Guns, like dogs, can act as a deterrent. ¿Por que no los dos?
*If I were the police chief* – I would be in my truck and heading out of state right now
Out of shame, and out of fear for my life.

If you aren’t willing to risk your life to save innocent children then do NOT remain a police officer, resign and get yourself a nice safe office job. Can you imagine having our army full of soldiers who were scared to risk their lives? That would be absurd. FYI, I am a retired police officer and faced dangerous situations many times because that’s what the job sometimes requires but it was worth it because I am enjoying a comfortable retirement now. You need to put in the service to earn the pension.
And not collect one more days pay. As some dip hit once said…your fired!!!!
Thank you for your service, commitment and bravery. Texas obviously needs more men like you.
@CaneFu THANK YOU.
The facts of this shooting have changed so many times it’s obvious that law enforcement blatantly lied to cover up their cowardly response. Which is amazingly stupid knowing the facts would eventually surface. So not only are they cowards but liars too. And if they lied about the massacre then imagine for a moment how many other cases that they have lied about? Corrupt, ignorant, cowards.
You mean the scene commander, he said the police wanted to go in, but they were not allowed to because of the Scene commander
@Ryan Taiclet 🇺🇦 they could’ve went in anyways, they have that discretion especially if they know kids are dying. They chose not to, they are just as guilty as the scene commander, that ironically wasn’t even on scene lol.
@Ryan Taiclet 🇺🇦 of course this is in on the scene commander but everyone of those other cops knew what the protocol was and didn’t follow it. All the training and prepardness those cops went through and for what? They knew what the horrible hell was taking place on the other side of that door and still did nothing. This was that one time they needed to do their job and instead they failed beyond belief. 20 cops against 1 punk 18 year old says it all. So you go ahead make eccuses fot all those cops who did nothing even though they were all just as complicit.
This was a complete mess! Just let it sink in they had a school police force and still all those lost lives-there needs to be accountability
https://youtu.be/hEMR154fNpM
It’s Finally here
So the police stood around in the hall and outside, listening to shot after shot, knowing kids were being murdered and did not move in? Even hearing it happening? I just can’t imagine any of this. I’m a former teacher, tutoring now at my public library and the first thing we do in our first sessions is tour the building, noting emergency exits, safe spaces, etc. I hate what we’ve become.
Keep the faith
Have hope
That’s the best we can do for these children😢
You’ll notice that despite the police chief on scene being a complete human failure, still in his job, not resigned, not fired. Clearly, all legal systems are broken to resolve this situation. Parents of Uvalde, if you want to protect your children, you know what you have to do.
The senior ranking cops and officials go through the motions of apologizing, but they do not actually take the actions necessary to show true regret at this crimes of cowardice and incompetence. They must all resign, at the very least, or be fired.
Just Heart breaking to know that all those brave innocent children and teachers were completely abandoned and left at the mercy of a monster. The police response is inexcusable and unforgivable.

So very sorry for those children, my heart aches, especially the ones that lived through it and have to go on.
