Uvalde active shooter response. Good analysis. Long. Worth the time. Warning: language
They were following orders. Brandon wanted a high body count.
Cowardice is overcome by concern for the suffering of others, especially of children. The lack of concern for the suffering of children is far more damning than cowardice.
Wild horses couldn’t keep me from rushing that punk gun guy if my kids or anyone’s kids were in that classroom.
The problem is, they would have restrained you, taken your gun and escorted you away from the school.
Every Uvalde cop who was there should kill themselves...immediately.
To Serve and Protect is now Better Them Than Me
If I worked in a Texas school, I’d carry every day. Screw the law if the Law won’t do its job.
Can you imagine being a cop with documentary evidence that fourth-graders exhibited more courage, when it mattered, than you and your fellow cops did?
They were wandering around that school hallway like it was another day at the office. Someone shoulda brought donuts and coffee to make them more comfortable!
They are males but Culturally they are not Men. Not even remotely. A Man does what a Man does or he is not a Man.
“The problem is, they would have restrained you, taken your gun and escorted you away from the school.”
He could have drawn his weapon, pointed it and said which one of you wants to E the first to put himself between me and my kid? 50 years ago that is exactly what would have happened EXCEPT that 50 years ago nobody could have found himself in that position becaus 50 years ago they would have been to busy acting like Men.
School rules......No Eating In Hallways!
If there had been enough parents or grandparents on site who were capable and willing to do the right thing, any restraining "they" tried might have been ineffective and subsequently nothing but ex post facto harassment and charges of interference. My guess is that if those kids had been saved by such independent and instinctive action, mom, dad or grandpa would be fine with the consequences of overriding timid and/or incompetent "public safety" types. "Jail me for trying to protect the little ones? Cuff me, tough guy."
Alas...
The proximate cause of this tragedy is a teacher leaving an outside door open.
The police response, while incompetent, is a secondary issue.
A female teacher is being protected.
She blocked the door open.
No open door, shooter can’t get into the school.
The videos clearly show the door was blocked open.
It may be that this female teacher is devastated by her actions.
She should be.
She should also be prosecuted.
I don’t really care about her tears.
Let’s use a split screen on tv.
Have her crying on one side and have the screams of terrified children on the other side.
The only way to stop this kind of stuff from happening again is to kick the asses of the people responsible.
Proximate Cause clearly points to the teacher.
Yep, many parents begged to be allowed to save their children only to have the Uvalde PD threaten to arrest them.
My understanding is that she did close the door and the lock failed to engage.
Nope.
Look at the videos.
The murderer doesn’t stop to grab a door handle.
He walks right in.
I admit I am only responding to the headline; however, after Columbine 23 years ago, can any law enforcement agency claim lack of training?
Yep, if my children are at extreme risk your could be the leader of the world or the frigging pope and it wont matter a damned bit if you try to stop me from protecting them no matter what the consequences.
Okay.
The Uvalde shooting was a cluster from top to bottom. Literally no one did anything right.
