KVUE and the Austin American-Statesman's Tony Plohetski obtained hallway footage from the Uvalde school shooting. In this footage, you can see the school shooter crash his truck, a student who witnesses the shooter walking through the hallways, and multiple law enforcement officers
I watched it yesterday, and agree with you. I have never seen a worse cluster-**** than displayed by those “officers”.
I’m pro-law enforcement, but not correcting gross incompetence does not help law enforcement.
Man, what’s a matter with you? They could have got shot!
You are being too kind. The Uvalde cops were much more than simply incompetent. They just stood around as children were screaming, crying, and dying. That is not incompetence. That is cowardice of the worst type.
Bunch of cunning runts.
There were officers willing to go into the classroom. Some had to be held back. They were ordered not to go in. It was a bureaucratic nightmare and leadership disaster.
Did this punk have a full auto weapon, or am I just hearing things?
Visual proof that liberals and Democrats should not be in LE or in any position of authority for LE. They are incapable of the responsibility that is delegated to them by the taxpayers.
I had to stop at the 6:30min mark..
If either of the guys that he first fired on (right after he crashed his vehicle) had been armed then he might not have ever made it to the school.
If the exterior door of the school had automatically locked so that it could not be opened from the outside, then he would not have made it inside the school.
If the classroom doors could be locked from the inside so that no one could enter without a key, then he would not have made it inside the classrooms.
Once he made it inside the classrooms, if either of the teachers had been armed then they might have stopped him before he killed any kids.
Once he was the only armed person in a classroom full of kids, it did not matter what type of gun he had. The police gave him 78 minutes to fire, reload, fire, reload, fire, etc. Even if he had only had a 6-shot revolver, it was unlikely that 10-year-old kids would rush him while he was reloading.
The only effect of declaring schools to be “gun free” zones is that it gives psychopaths like this the peace of mind that none of their victims will be able to shoot back. There is a reason why mass shooters hit schools and churches and not gun stores, gun shows, or firing ranges.
When every second counts, police are only 78 minutes away.
> There were officers willing to go into the classroom. <
Yes, there are reports of at least one officer who was physically restrained from going into the school. That officer deserves respect.
But those officers who were just standing around in the hallway and outside of the school waiting for orders, they can all go to hell. They could have done what the Border Patrol cops did, and they could have done it much earlier.
If a monster is killing crying and screaming children, you don’t wait for orders. You take out the monster.
Are we that desperate for cops that we can't weed out cowards who won't face fire?
The three that I really agree with you about, are the first three to arrive, who literally ran away when the shooter started firing in the classroom. That was exactly the time to go in.
Aint no way anyone is disarming me saying these guys will be there to protect you. What a joke.
Total breakdown of authority. Very hard to watch the friggen LONGER it drags on. Still unbelievable.
The point man beat the other two guys that he was supposed to be ahead of, back to safety. That video will figure in highly at this officers next review board. Total cowardice and panic under fire to the point of running away.
Who are the two adult sized figures (look like men but hard to tell) hurrying towards the crashed truck, then suddenly sprinting back? One even fell but did a very fast remount.
Had the maniac started shooting at them when they ran?
As to the interior scene — it’s hard to imagine a worse cluster-f. Greying man in white shirt seemed to want to muster up his courage, but couldn’t quite figure out how or what he should do, therefore he starts pretending he has a head woundj. Maybe he had a near miss that cut some hair, but no blood visible — shucks.
