Insider ^ | July 17, 2020 | mass shooting at Uvalde elementary school, report says Katie Balevic

Posted on 07/17/2022 1:16:05 PM PDT by conservative98

A total of 376 law enforcement officers were at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas when a gunman was at large for over an hour on May 24, leaving 21 people dead.

A majority of the officers were federal and state actors, including 149 US Border Patrol officers and 91 Texas Department of Public Safety officers. Twenty-five officers were from the Uvalde Police Department, and 16 were from the Uvalde County Sheriff's Office.

"They failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety," according to an interim report released Sunday by the Texas House investigative committee on the shooting.

They did not do anything to save lives, instead, by the officers not being agressive, maybe the shooter felt he was free to do anything he wanted, no one was around to stop him.

Insane....

I like the news conference, with everyone running for local office, pushing their faces in front of the cameras, as the Mayor and the local elite and so called officials have a back slap fest for the cameras.

The moral of this story is if ya want to rob a bank, wait until there is a mass shooting and all the cops within 40 miles are on the scene.

However like I said before it seems that FR is becoming a bastion of unhinged leftists. Just look at how excited and giddy most keyboard commando Freepers are to jump on the cops

You seem to be defending this madness. Btw, not all of us are giddy unhinged leftist out to get the cops.

“I hate to point this out, but the same thing was said after the 2018 Parkland School shooting. “

I did not realize that. On the other hand, the Uvalde incident was a lot more flagrant. 400 cops; 77 minutes. It’s going to be a while before anybody forgets those two numbers. Well, we can only hope.

I feel certain that the reason so many cops showed so little initiative is that they’re intensely trained that way. Maybe - just a guess - because city councils have gotten together and looked into it deeply and discovered that they lose a heck of a lot less money in lawsuits when cops aren’t too aggressive.

“In March, the school district police hosted active shooter training at Uvalde High School, according to a post on the agency’s Facebook page. “Our overall goal is to train every Uvalde area law enforcement officer so that we can prepare as best as possible for any situation that may arise,” the post said.”

“In March, the school district police hosted active shooter training at Uvalde High School...”

...right, I’m just saying, obviously that earlier training was a LEETLE lacking, and that is now obvious, and I’m sure training all over the country will be responding to the Uvalde issues in the near future.

Thanks. I noticed that even though they had not fixed broken door locks they had freshly painted all the doors in the school. LOL

There is only one protocol established for that situation. ONE - attack. So there should have been 376 cops hitting that school like it was Normandy June 06, 1944.

What I said hurt your feelings? Hell, I was being friendly.

Maybe you should spend your time at Weenie Hut Playland!

The most important testimony is obviously from the officers that were in the hallway. There was a time when most Freepers would understand this. However like I said before it seems that FR is becoming a bastion of unhinged leftists. Just look at how excited and giddy most keyboard commando Freepers are to jump on the cops are coward bandwagon regardless of what the facts are.

Thank you......like I said it was a cluster and there’s enough blame to go around but I agree about the keyboard commandos. Malign officers across the board.......yeah, that’s mature and the donut thing is wearing thin too.
