The law enforcement response to the horrific school shooting at an Uvalde elementary school has been facing severe criticism after it was revealed that the shooter was alive inside the building for an hour without being taken out by police.
During this time, one brave mother drove 40 minutes from work, was handcuffed for trying to enter, talked police into freeing her, breached the perimeter, and went in and got her children out of the building.
Police officers also reportedly entered the building and rescued their own children during this time.
When questioned about the response by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez said that police were reluctant to engage the killer because they “could have been shot.”
Instead, they attempted to keep him in one room. Inside that room, a little girl was bleeding out and would later die at the hospital.
“Don’t current best practices, don’t they call for officers to disable a shooter as quickly as possible, regardless of how many officers are actually on site?” Blitzer asked Olivarez.
“They could’ve been shot. They could’ve been killed,”

If are too much of a pussy to do your job then you need to find another line of work.
I hope there aren’t any firefighters who won’t go into an inferno because “they could be burned”
Men certainly are NOT what they used to be!! Give your damn firearms to the moms standing out there they would be happy to take care of the situation GEEZE!! Our society has DESTROYED the male population turned them into a bunch of pansies, I can not tell you how many YOUNG male co-workers I have that are STILL wearing the damn masks SAD!!{
Backed by multiple court decisions that say they have no duty to protect and defend the public, their highest best use is as Preatorian Guard for the powers that be.
Tacticool is fun until the SHTF and it’s easier to enforce against parents than it is to go up against a perp.
When it comes to courage, the Thin Blue Line is thinner than most thought.
If you can’t stand the risks of the job, don’t take it.
Credit to Blitzer for handling it straight.
Let me ask, did the police know how many shooters were in the building, was there one or five? Did they have a picture of the shooter or shooters, with parents running the hallways that could have been a little confusing? Should the police have had concern about the other hundreds of kids in the school? Finally, just because police were on the outside, does that mean there weren’t any inside? This thing is reeking of “defund the police” falls right in line with Biden’s new exec order of his new “policing policy”. Makes one wonder.
That’s the number one question. This is like Benghazi but in Texas.
ALL town police officers on location of the mass shooting fired by the city manager for dereliction of duty to insure public safety.
If the city’s PD training officer is city employed, that person fired by the city manager for dereliction of duty to public safety.
ALL sheriffs department officers on location of the mass shooting should be fired for dereliction of duty towards public safety.
Any state LEO (Texas DPS & Game Wardens) on location of the mass shooting fired for dereliction of duty towards public safety.
Embarrassing..., guess that DPS Stetson hat don’t mean what it used to.
Yea, I saw game wardens at the scene on a clip Tucker showed tonight.
I don’t place the blame on “where are the men”...I blame our society for allowing these so called authorities to tell us we cannot enter a building, to run to/save/try to save our children are under fire, by a madman....while they rescue their own kids, and hold moms and dads back.
Just like society accepted the dWmn lockdowns, for MONTHS, and schools to be closed, grandmas and grandpas to be isolated, our ill family members to die alone, lost years, lost memories, etc., etc.
We’re allowing ourselves to be pushed around by evil bullies.
How the heck did we get to this point?
The Thin Yellow Line.
Did they think the towers would collapse and kill them all? I doubt it. They were still brave.
Children WERE shot. Children WERE killed.
These so-called "officers" displayed pusillanimous conduct in the face of the enemy.
Soldiers can be put to death for such.
Cowards they should be ashamed to ever show their faces in pubic again. And they all should be fired.
I think shots were fired and returned before the killer entered the class room. Subsequently, I would think shots from inside the classroom would have been heard by LOEs. If so, IMO, there can be only one reasonable explanation for those shots. And if only to distract the shooter from the kids and/or expedite medical response, I think the classroom should have been taken without delay by the officers. I don't accept the Texas DPS officials reasoning for suspending hot pursuit.
This, of course based on my limited knowledge of the incident. I've read several timelines of the tragedy, but they were pretty sketchy.
Agree....this is like Benghazi.
Who will be held accountable?
Democrats have Bill board issue against Greg Abbott in the November election
I believe it was Coral Springs FL police who arrived at the scene and went inside. My understanding is that Coral Springs hires heavily from retired Military people.
I heard on Jesse Waters that there were Federal Marshalls present, they also remained outside. It took Border Patrol to get there and take evil jerk out.
