Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, on Friday said he has been lied to by law enforcement about the facts around Tuesday's Uvalde school shooting, and said he was 'livid'.
'I was misled,' Abbott said on Friday
'I am livid about what happened. I was on this very stage two days ago, and I was telling the public information that had been told to me in a room just a few yards from where we are write now.
'I wrote hand notes in sequential order.
'When I came out on that stage and told the public what happened, it was a recitation of what everyone told me.
'As everybody has learned, the information I was given turned out - in part - to be inaccurate.
Initially police said that Ramos was wearing body armor and was confronted by an armed guard: on Thursday, they admitted that neither of those facts were true.
They said Ramos was barricaded in a classroom, but it emerged on Wednesday night that the authorities had to get a key to open the door - leading to urgent questions as to why they didn't break it down.
And they said the delay in entering the school was because they were waiting for negotiators -
Officials admitted on Friday that nearly 20 officers stood in a hallway outside of the classrooms during the attack, believing any potential victims inside were already dead.
'Of course it was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision,' Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said at a news conference.
The on-site commander 'was convinced at the time that there was no more threat to the children and that the subject was barricaded and that they had time to organize' to get into the classroom, McCraw said.

"it is the severity of the misleading charges"
The buck is being passed around like a marijuana joint at a Jimmy Buffet concert.
Mistakes were made, nobody will take any blame. Promotions and raises for all the “heroes”.
I have not watched Walker, Texas Ranger for a long time,
but I think he may have not even waited 30 seconds to kick the asses of all the snowflake cops that tried to stop him from going in.
I don’t think The “A Team” would have either.
Matt Dillon would have definitely hid for an hour, Not.
That’s nice.
He’s livid.
What’s he gonna do about it?
“The buck is being passed around like a marijuana joint at a Jimmy Buffet concert”.
The Gov. is not passing the buck.
What about The Duke/John Wayne?
Could this be Beta O’Rourke’s “perfect storm” just as the Wuhan Flu was The Big Guy’s perfect storm?
‘That’s nice.
He’s livid.
What’s he gonna do about it?’
What would you have him do about it?
Passing many to others if you're talking $$$$. As far as responsibility, yeah, they are. LEOs are government, paid for by taxpayers.
He better not try.
The Left is trying their best to pin this on him.
If he projects any sort of weakness they’ll be on him like vultures on a carcass.
Hope the town's people burn the cowards tax payer funded clubhouse to the ground.
Well, not if, as a previous poster has stated, he does something. Kick some ass. Sure there will be criticism. Hell’s bells. You are not a leader if you AREN’T criticized. Not a time to go wobbly.
We should send a big box of swords to the PD.
A gift card could say “For you to fall on, you cowards.”

“Greg Abbott on Tuesday and Wednesday praised the law enforcement officer who were on the scene of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas”
Annoying how politicians rush in to praise before the facts are in. That’s on him.
Ban Teenagers.
Put them on house arrest with electro shock devices at the first sign of mental illness.
Use truth serum on police.
Train Police to have courage.
And what about the teacher who propped the door open and apparently left it open after the alert was raised? If I understood that story correctly.
Arm and train mentally stable teachers.
Put Robocops in school.
“Teenager you have 15 seconds to comply!”
The mama bears (mothers) had to be held back.
only the “first” responders didn’t want to go in.
Of course, this was likely all planned.
