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.

We kbow to next time, thats for sure.
But it was reported that the school has its own police dept with a chief, 5 officers, and a guard.
“They could get in the way of the cops.”
Seriesly?? You’re gonna fly that flag with THIS news article?? SMH. LOL if it wasn’t so sad.
Thats fine. at least her kids are alive. ;)
There are a few school districts in Texas who have teachers that conceal carry and get extra training. None of these schools have had a shooting incident yet. 🤔
I bet they are good at writing traffic tickets and bringing money in for the town,
Someone going 35 in a 25 then they are on it, someone robbing your house or shooting up a school, well they can't be bothered, they have quotas to meet.
This is horrifying video taken outside the school:

It looks like the officers were there TO PREVENT parents from going into the school to save the lives of their daughters and sons.
New world order is pleased to present this event! Yeah for them! Just need to corral opinion into cancelling 2A rights! Sure you love that too!
👍
On the bright side
Not much of a threat to armed determined civilians
Govt forces and assets sadly are another matter
More likely. Beat me to it.
It’s not unusual for the police to do this.
Why didn’t the local police surround the school with police cars, (protecting a police “infantry” behind the cars’ front engine-block compartments), swarm and distract the shooter using shotguns, and enter the school upon a given signal?
Then follow immediately with raising yellow police crime scene tape around the school?
“Red school districts need to protect the schools asap with retired military vets that aren’t afraid of a fight and check everyone coming into school”School.
More incentive has to be built-in in for military to enter police departments.
Maybe start at the police department to encourage enlistment or ROTC, then health, pay, and pension benefits for military who
become street officers and Sergeants.
It’s not unusual for the police to do this.
To prioritize their own safety and pension? You are correct.
I just listened to a truther on Rumble who says he found websites that were opened two days prior to the shooting that ask for assistance for the victims and their families. I’m not shocked.
Is there no one in your life that loves you enough to tell you how dumb you are?
You don’t know how to manage areas with an active shooter dumbass. He could have killed every one of those parents. The police don’t want people in their way.
That is a really good question
