This is the Uvalde police SWAT team. This community of 13,000 people spends 40% of its municipal budget on the police.
I don’t know why wearing a vest isn’t the default part of the uniform. They can always keep the car on full blast for air-conditioning.
So, where were they?
I’m amazed if a vest isn’t standard for anyone on patrol. I know it is for the cops in my higher-end Atlanta suburb.
They aren’t getting their money’s worth.
Texas Police Lieutenant Says Cops Were Reluctant to Engage Gunman Because ‘They Could’ve Been Shot
The active shooter situation, you want to stop the killing, you want to preserve life, but also one thing that – of course, the American people need to understand — that officers are making entry into this building. They do not know where the gunman is. They are hearing gunshots.They are receiving gunshots. At that point, if they proceeded any further not knowing where the suspect was at, they could’ve been shot, they could’ve been killed, and that gunman would have had an opportunity to kill other people inside that school.
Well, about 100 of them, clad in their best ninja turtle getups, were loitering in the school parking lot.
Stop the hating!! If not for the police, who else would detain, and even handcuff and pepper-spray, desperate parents trying to rescue their own children from a murderer?
Holding back parents, who were ready to tear the school apart to get that monster.
Beat me to it!
Parents have a natural responsibility to protect their daughters and sons and anyone who isn’t helping them to do that needs to get out of the way.
Thieves, goof offs. Hardest part of the job is arranging the double dip.
C O W A R D S.
So they haven’t been trained how to clear a building?
You act surprised. It is a small town of 15,000 people.
In this case defunding the police might be a good idea after all.
I see they checked most of their woke boxes.
Too none of them is for heroism.
12 minutes of shooting outside the school.

Where was that SWAT team?
Who gave the order for LEOs to stand down?
Why was the door left open at a school in a community that had 48 previous warnings?
Was the shooter one of the two who had threatened in 2018 to shoot up an elementary school in 2022? (See my “flashback”‘post on this earlier today.)
