The mother who saved her children during the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting has a message to police officers who she blames for their inaction and for holding back parents: "Turn in your badge."
Angeli-Rose Gomez, placed in handcuffs outside Robb Elementary School on May 24 before hopping a fence and pulling her two sons out of the building herself, spoke with Fox News Digital last week — before a scathing 77-page report was released Sunday noting "systemic failures and egregiously poor decision-making" on behalf of law enforcement responding to the active shooting situation.
Despite a robust response of at least 376 law enforcement officers, the new report notes a chaotic and uncoordinated scene, stressing how police officials prioritized their own safety over the lives of students and teachers and waited more than an hour to confront 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos.
"Message to the cops: turn in your badge, this isn’t the job for you, you aren’t willing to protect and serve. If you can’t own up to your job, turn in your badge. You let everyone down," Gomez told Fox News Digital. "All need to turn in their badge. All the cops mistreating us outside need to be punished. If they would’ve just left all the parents would’ve done way more than they would’ve done."
"I don’t know where I got that bravery," she added. "I just kept thinking I am not going to stand here and wait for my kids to die and wait for them to tell me hours later that my kid is dead."

I just heard form MIke Glovers Pod Cast that a Cop had his sites on the perp before he got into the class room which was unlocked. But he had to ask his superior if he could shoot didn’t get an answer, target was gone.
No. They would have to actually draw there gun then.
The fact is that no profession has a monopoly on virtue or cowardice
When you are a cop or a man and kids are getting killed while you stand outside the door is a special cowardice. Uvalde police dept had a monopoly of it in that town on that day.
Any officer there needed to drop this perp without hesitation.
The cowards are afraid that they are going to be prosecuted and that’s why they want to shut her up.
They aided and abetted the murderer so all of those cops should be prosecuted. They all belong in prison.
People are starting to learn that the government isn’t here to protect you no matter what lies your told.
You are more forgiving thank am! I say do the honorable thing & eat you gun!
