“It really stretches the imagination to believe that the incident commander would not be told of those 911 calls.”
I have experienced several times when dispatchers filtered out really important information. It’s a wonder we haven’t had anything bad come of it, yet...
The problem with your top down management system is that everyone waits until the top guy decides what to do. In a confused situation it can take an ice age for all the relevant info to make it to the decision point. This is what top down militaries get their @$$es handed to them by ones that enable competent juniors to make decisions. There should be a team dedicated to these situations that acts on its own without having to wait forever for some cowardly bureaucrat who spends forever worrying whether his decision will impact his career.
He was too busy shoving his thumb up his rectum?
““There was human error and there was system error.””
I realize that 20/20 hindsight is easy, but had the school resource officers been city police/county sheriff deputies, wouldn’t the professionals who actually deal with crime and violent crime be better equipped to deal the situation?
Did the people who were informed attempt to contact Arredondo?
Keystone cops!
Every officer involved in this should be stood in front of a firing squad. See how THEY feel about the plight of those children. Cowardice is a criminal offense in this case.
why are other person now telling Arredono’s story? He needs to be the one to answer for his failure. I have never seen a case with so many inconsistencies and lies. First there was a resource officer and a shootout, then there wasn’t. The door was propped opened, that’s how he got in, then it was the door wasn’t propped open. There are so many stories here that just don’t make any sense. And meantime the guy who is the commander when confronted is dodging and weaving and wouldn’t answer any questions. And the Texas DPS says he is not answering any questions to their investigators either. It’s disgusting.
Another story change. We still don’t know what meds he was on for mental illness or for any trans surgery. Don’t know how he got several thousand dollars worth of vehicle and gear while working at McDonalds. Don’t know if he was arrested or held by government officials. We don’t know about a door being left open or unlocked. Why didn’t police move in? Why were adults there disarmed?
As long as he keeps the drug money flowing to the political class, the elected officials will make sure he keeps his job.
“Absolute, total, utter BS. You go in and get hands-on with the bad guy(s) until it’s ended. Those fools are trying to act like there were options. There’s not - only one course of action. One. “
There is only one course of inAction for a true Coward.
It seems like the only real man in the area was getting a haircut, but unlike Sampson his barber was not female and was also not a Gun Pussy
But but but, you heard them explain their comms are defective. Gonna take somewhere around 13 Mill$ so’s the 911’er can talk to the boss. It’s two blocks away. There was time to send a burrito-fed runner.
Who besides the police chief bore ultimate responsibility for communications?
One would think the chief would be at the scene of the biggest and worst thing that’s ever happened in town. He would have heard the shots and kids screaming.
Each and every one of them need to be run out of town at the very least.
Parents were there in person trying to get in the building to save their children. He didn’t see them?
