Bless the courageous heroes that walked into danger to protect as many as possible! Everyone of you deserves our undying gratitude and respect!
20 v 1 whilst wearing armor is not courageous.
@Jordan God bless u 2
This was a textbook breach in an active shooter situation! I applaud the Nashville Police here. The police did exactly what they had to do here. The body camera videos vividly show the horror and chaos of an active shooter situation. Trust me with those sirens going off you can barely hear yourself think, let alone shouting commands to other officers. However, despite the fear and chaos of such a situation, these officers quickly neutralized the threat. That’s exactly what must be done in these situations!
Metro PD trains with LA’s swat team so I’d assume they are pretty good
God bless those cops for having no fear and this willingness to die for those kids, teachers, and any other person who needs their help.
The words of a real hero, “let’s go”!!!
God this gives me chills
Very very emotional
Thank goodness for the brave cops and first responders in St. Louis and Nashville for choosing our children’s safety over their own, unlike the cowards in Uvalde.
God have mercy on the families of the victims. They are grieving right now.
God bless those officers “HEROS” that has to live with this the rest of their lives. Thank you for your service and keeping the collateral damage to just six souls. God bless those six souls that were lost especially those three babies.
You need a Officer Collazo in every unit. He was on it from the minute he pulled up and made his voice heard. This brought tears to my eyes. Then “lets go”. And they literally walked right into bullet fire and took it out clearly ready to die to save lives. This is what heroism looks like.
Wish we’d had an Officer Collazo down here in Uvalde.
Wow! Unbelievable job by them. That was one of the most intense videos I have ever watched in my life. My heart is still pounding. God bless everyone involved
What a horrifying ordeal for those poor kids and staff. May God be with them as they heal from this trauma.
I know thick steel doors are not pretty, but they would be so much harder to get through, ground levels, one way in and one way out, if people gets through, they then get to more thick doors, no windows on ground level , it could stop a lot of things like this, something has to be done , Lord bless these families who have lost Love Ones and law enforcement ,and the children that had to go through this. So very very sad .
These men are the definition or protectors! They put their lives on the line with no hesitation. It goes to show that a good guy will put down a bad guy!
Where are all the kids? The teachers/staff did a great job hiding them if they’re inside.
After Uvalde it’s nice to see that some cops are not cowards.
May God bless the victims and there families…May he also bless these brave and courageous policemen and policewoman who were willing to lay there lives down to protect the children and adults in the school….
Thank you to all the officers and all the first responders .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rest In Peace. USA Today has monetized the active shooter body-cam of an elementary school with ads. Unbelievable
Bravery, purpose, assertiveness, and intent by these officers. Saved many lives. Heartbroken for the families who lost loved ones to a disgusting psycho.
How horrifying for all involved. What great teamwork and commands at the most chaotic time.
