Uvalde police are facing new criticism over first-hand accounts and videos showing them handcuffing and restraining frantic parents, who were urging them to storm the Robb Elementary school building amid the massacre.
'The police were doing nothing,' Angeli Rose Gomez told the Wall Street Journal. 'They were just standing outside the fence. They weren't going in there or running anywhere.'
Gomez has two children in second and third grade and she reportedly drove 40 miles to the school after hearing of the attack.
She was one of the desperate parents who encouraged police with increasing urgency to enter the school.
Eventually, federal marshals put Gomez in handcuffs and told her she was under arrest for intervening in an active investigation, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Gomez said she was able to convince a Uvalde officer whom she knew to have the marshal free her and she took the opportunity to move away from the crowd, jump the school fence, and ran inside the school where she rescued her children herself.
She said that other parents also trying to get to their kids were tackled and even pepper-sprayed by police.
Angel Garza, whose daughter was killed, was handcuffed after trying to run into the school when he heard that a 'girl called Amerie' had been shot.
Garza later told his heartbreaking story to Anderson Cooper.

They don’t need trains to kill us by the hundreds of millions. 50 here, 100 there, shoot ‘em. Keep an ongoing weekly tally of hundreds in the cities. Spread the fun around. Let the deep state minions get in some killing.
The security wasn’t good at the school and the police should have acted quicker, but what if the killer shot the parents when they went in?
Freedom isn’t free.
> what if the killer shot the parents when they went in?
The UNARMED parents were willing to take that chance.
You don’t get that?
And BTW the parents should have brought their own ARs.
Cops lie. Permitted in the constitution.
Hate to say this but we’re late for the meeting. It’s not just the cops.
Did Saddam have WMD?
Did Mark Furman plant the glove?
Sometimes I wonder-not as much these days.
Back the Blue?
Give me one good reason ...
Exactly.
Government only rewards failure.
We have come a long way from the Nation we were in 2001...
When you remember the hundreds of police & firemen who died saving, or attempting to save, tower victims...
That is something that would not happen in today’s society where LEOs at all levels are not only thoroughly corrupt, but are self-serving & spineless as well...
“what if the killer shot the parents when they went in?”
What if the cops shot the parents when they went in?
They should fire the cops and hire that mom.
This will encourage defund the police movement among general population.
I hope police get that.
Our wonderful worst responder heroes in blue would have shot them down stone cold dead in the street.
“The facts coming out, completely support our need for private citizens to own firearms.”
I agree, but here’s a little known or rarely mentioned fact:
The Supreme Court has ruled that law enforcement officers are not required to protect anyone. This includes your local police department, sheriff department, state troopers, FBI, DHS, Border Patrol, etc. Your safety is your responsibility.

The heavily armed Federal Marshals not the Uvalde police are the perps that tased, handcuffed, pepper sprayed, and threw parents to the ground. I believe they work for Mr. Garland of the Department of Justice.. Remember it was the DOJ who called parents, domestic terrorists, and proceeded to investigate.
I think it might be helpful to provide the school secretaries with a laminated card that they could use to provide the necessary information to law enforcement.
Something similar to the SALUTE cards we had in the Army.
Size
Activity
Location
Unit
Time
Equipment
They can change that to suit their needs.
The school and law enforcement need an agreed upon, quick and easy means of providing at least the bare minimum to the responding law enforcement personnel.
Yes. He shuttled them out the back door to Syria while Hans Blix and his clown parade sat at the front door cooling their heels ...
Many years later, Israel dropped earth penetrating bombs on a suspicious Syrian bunker.
Funny how things work out.
No, more like a round to the back of the head. Cowards the whole lot.
And the ones who pepper sprayed and handcuffed a parent,well I won’t say what I’m thinking, but medieval torturers we’re adept at keeping victims alive for a long time.
“This will encourage defund the police movement among general population.”
Even worse, I’m afraid. People will stop calling them at all and just handle things on their own.
Long past time if you ask me.
