'He put the lives of officers before the lives of children': Texas' top cop issues blistering denouncement of Uvalde's police chief and calls him an 'abject failure' as he admits gunman could have been stopped in THREE MINUTES

Speaking at a State Senate hearing Tuesday, Texas Department of Public Safety head Steve McCraw slammed police's response to the May 24 massacre as 'an abject failure,' and that there had been enough cops at the scene to stop the gunman just three minutes into the shooting.

'Three minutes after the subject entered the west hallway, there was sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor, to isolate distract and neutralize the subject,' McCraw told the committee

In another bombshell revelation, McCraw revealed that the door to the classroom that Ramos had been hiding behind had not been locked - contradicting earlier assertions from Arredondo's department that the chief had been trying to track down keys to open the classroom door.

The gun-grabbers got it their body count. That’s all that matters.

Let’s see...

1. The police did nothing to stop the child killer.
2. They did everything they could to stop parents and other law enforcement from stopping the child killer.

It’s time to defund and disband the Uvalde police and hand over the jurisdiction to the elected Sheriff and his department.

Don’t attribute to conspiracy what is pretty obviously incompetence. The Uvalde cops were apparently the very epitomy of “useless donut eaters.”

Through the years politicians have lowered the qualifications for police. Look at all the female police chiefs around the country and those that have been selected based on affirmative action. Good cops are leaving in droves, thanks to liberal judges and politicians who are more concerned with taking down cops than bad guys.

It’s the 98% that give the other 2% of good cops, a bad name.

DPS, US Marshals, local cops. Etc… the days of “one riot one Ranger” are long gone. Unimaginable that one little homo is a skirt held off Texas lawmen. They need to stop with the cowboy hats for a while.

Let’s see. Several branches of our government aspire to confiscate our weapons. This same government, with the help of the courts, tell us it is not in their job description to protect us.

Ummm, you start by putting your left foot in front of the right one, repeat, as necessary.

Having been in a stack in urban combat, initiative favors the brave, violence of action saves lives.... Hesitation costs a lot.

"...there was sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor, to...neutralize the subject,..."

Good - he said it and it's out there.

Every one of those cowards should resign in disgrace.
