They keep changing the story.
But, don’t worry, they are investigating the situation.
Mobility is what you need to survive, especially when disarmed.
Who set up this murderous policy? That cop should be put on trial.
Yesterday there were several FReepers on other threads defending these useless people.
In the Military, they call the hour after a traumatic battle wound has been received the “Golden Hour.” It is within this Golden Hour that if the victim receives advanced medical care they stand an extremely high chance of survival. This is why the Military spends so much money on Medevac helicopters, etc.
Think of those poor children. Even if they were all shot within the first few minutes of the attack, they were left there to bleed out for the next 45 minutes or more before any medical attention could be administered to them.
Had the police immediately stormed the shooter and neutralized him, that would have been more precious minutes to get those children the medical care they so desperately needed, and could have dramatically reduced the fatality rate of the attack.
By the time the woman shown in the article was detained, handcuffed by a federal marshal, released after intervention by a local police officer, climbed the fence, entered the school, and escaped with her children, surely one or more of the heavily armed and body armored police could have engaged the shooter. Certainly they could have evacuated a lot of children since a parent acting with them trying to stop her still managed to evacuate her own kids.
These cops are cowards.
No amount of posturing and excuses should ever assuage their guilt, pain or humiliation with the deaths of these children at least partially on their hands.
I would not want to be around any of them ever. They are simply disgusting. They deserve to live in constant torment. They can never make amends for their lack of action.
In the world of men there used to be nothing worse than a coward and a liar. These people are both.
They need to be remembered as the Cowards of Uvalde. I’d pay to erect a monument to their memory.
“Texas cops said last night that they didn’t immediately rush in to find the shooter on Tuesday’s attack after being shot at because they feared they might be killed”
Contemptible cowards every last one of them.
These damn cowards need to put their service pistol in their damn miles and do the right thing I wish they were Japanese cops
Seppiku your sorry asses
have some dignity
Every last one of them needs to be fired, stripped of their pensions, and prosecuted for malfeasance, up to and including the Chief of Police and the Sheriff of the County.
Then shun them completely. Don’t speak to them. Don’t buy from, sell to, or trade with them.
Let them wear the shame of their cowardice until the day they die and beyond.

The headline and story do not match. But nobody cares about that. You want to be outraged so you believe the nonsense that comes from the Daily Mail of all places. Shame on all of you.
There are two genuine heroes in this story. The parent, Angeli Gomez and that Border Patrol cop. I don’t believe his name has been released yet.
As for all the other cops who just stood around in their expensive tactical gear, they are a mixture of cowards and morons.
Yeah, I get that an assault on that classroom would be dangerous. Get your tear gas, flash grenades, and police dogs - and just do it. Save what children that you can. You don’t want to take the same risk that mother took? Then you never should have signed up to be a cop in the first place.
I suppose my comments will offend some reflexively pro-police folks. Don’t care.
If these accounts are true these “officers” don’t deserve to wear the uniform.
And all fairness I’m sure they released a couple of cops there that were willing to risk their lives
But we’re held back and if I’m not mistaken the actual guy who went in just showed up early and did it by him self that’s what I understand he had been at the practice range and heard the call for his unit for border patrol and ran over there and did it himself
IF this is true, and it seems highly unlikely that a cop made it all the way in there and merely locked the door, then why would that cop just leave without clearing kids out of the other classrooms? And if cops went in to get their own kids, how did they keep the other kids from following them out? “Hey, you kids, just sit tight while my babies Alissa and Max go with me. Hear me? Don’t follow us to safety. No, I don’t care if you are best friends, stay here.” None of this sounds realistic, it sounds more like a systematic effort to propagandists or at minimum an effort by bloggers and newsies on the left and on the right to capitalize on emotions and hysteria at the expense of the truth to get clicks.
I would rather wait for the anger/fear porn to die down and the followup investigation establishes who was where and why before jumping on this bandwagon.
Time to end the public skool system. It doesn’t work.
At least all the cops went home safely that night.
They sound like accessories at this point. Disgusting.
In all the chaos and confusion, maybe some of the cops thought they were guarding an abortion clinic.
