This link explains why the cops did not enter the building. VEry suspicious, a brand new police chief, a couple of days before the incident. There are some copied comments and an unrolled twitter thread that really needs to be seen at the link (at the below link) because images. Looks clear to me that “someone” put this new oaf in charge to order the cops to stand down.

Here’s a real Sheriff discussing school safety in the wake of the Texas shooting
LJ, love your stuff, but sometimes you get a fact wrong and keep repeating it... The Chief of the School Distric police force (NOT the Uvaldi city cops) is/was Pete Arnedondo. “That article said he was the school district’s police chief since 2020.” (from heavy.com)
From the major reading I’ve been doing, yes, he won a seat on the City Council on May 7th. Nowhere does it mention that he’ll be resigning as Chief of the school district’s police force (7 schools, 6 officers). Well, as haps may be, he’ll probably be retiring shortly, “to spend more time with family) /snort! Usually, a seat on a city council is not a full-time job.
I am not defending this jerk at all. I just like to wait until the smoke clears and then gather the facts.
Naturally, people want to blame someone. Usually it’s not so easy to place blame. Usually, but NOT THIS TIME!! This time, the blame can be placed equally sqarely on the head of the police chief who mistakenly (and we’re wondering now if he even had a radio...no radio, no comms with Dispatch, no idea what’s really going on inside those classrooms) converted the “active shooter” response to a “barricaded suspect” scenario.
And sharing just as much, if not even more, on the head of the teacher who left the door unlocked so the shooter could get into the school. A school’s security plan is only as good as its participants. Sure, you put the door with the fancy locks on..but when you leave the door open, the system fails.
I don’t waste my grace points -in this case, they’d be demerits-I would lose so many bushel baskets of grace if I joined in the calls for horrid things to happen to these 2 people. All the ill-wishes and hate we dump on those 2 will never come close to the guilt they heap upon themselves. Every day, they’ll have to face themselves in the mirror. I suggest they both be fired, denied unemployment, required mental health care (which TX is providing to anyone in that community, free, 24-7) and then be put on suicide watch...FOR LIFE.
So, just thought I would clear that up. The chief had the incident command position because it was his school, he was the boss of the situation. So glad the Border Patrol guys said F&*k that and disobeyed his orders.
