Angeli Rose Gomez defied police during the May 24, 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, running into the school and rescuing her two sons. Uvalde cops have continued to harass her, Gomez told reporters, following her through town, driving past her home, parking nearby, and flashing their lights.
The shooting resulted in 19 students and two teachers dead, and a high degree of outrage about local law enforcement’s response to the shooting, especially the inexcusable delay in entering the classroom to confront the shooter.
Gomez has given multiple interviews during the past few weeks, describing how she rushed to the school after news broke about an active shooter, and she was one of many parents desperately pleading for the cops to take action as they heard gun shots and children screaming from inside the school.
She told Fox 29 San Antonio that the police threatened to handcuff her if she did not cooperate, and they did briefly. She said that she agreed to calm down so they would remove the cuffs, and then “because I’m real little” she saw there was enough space “where I can just run.” She jumped a fence and ran through the campus, getting her sons and several of their classmates to come with her to leave the school.
Gomez has continued to sharply criticize the law enforcement response, saying they could have saved “many more lives” if they had acted swifter. “If anything, they were being more aggressive on us parents,” she said.
Earlier this month, Gomez told a CBS reporter that a police officer had called her threatening her with a probation violation related to a decade-old charge if she didn’t stop talking to media, but that a judge had reassured her that would not happen.

Makes one wonder who those cops work for.
She should just kill her kids and make LEO happy.
End game achieved.
Nothing fishy about this at all. /s
record it
The cops don’t like it when someone makes them look bad.
That’s awfully brave of them.
REAL BRAVE cops harassing a mother. Wonder what would happen if a group of concerned citizens approached and asked WTF?
(running into the school and rescuing her two sons. Uvalde cops have continued to harass her)
Because she was braver than the lot of them.
And they’re embarrassed.
Paging Sandy Hoax!
So now local cops are going the way of the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies, threatening authoritarian thuggish intimidation against anyone who publicly outs their criminality!
Let’s wait for ALL the facts before commenting. </bootlicker mode
Not the police and not the gun carrying citizens who (also) did nothing.
From baby formula shortages to mass shootings to abortion, there are never enough dead kids to suit the liberals.
Obviously not you nor me, and especially not the 21 dead folks at the school. Musta been some kind of regional donut convention that day. Fed, state, local, and USD cops all on the slows that day. Acting like their secret handshake has been figured it.
Dissolve the whole department, including and especially the school district one.
Create a new department with a different name, if necessary, to expedite the firings.
Star fresh. National campaign appealing to talented people who want to start with a fresh department. Look for talented people who don’t have woke credentials, but are up for a real challenge and a fresh start (no entrenched power structure).
Raise the pay and the standards. Behave just like a new aggressive NFL owner with an expansion franchise or a total overhaul rebuilding program, where everyone gets fired on day one.
So you are blaming the citizens for not using their guns to get past the police?
“The cops don’t like it when someone makes them look bad.”
The Uvalde cops didn’t need any help looking bad.
They did just fine on their own.

Paintball gun and see whose car has a new splat. (and use it only from a spot way from the house)
I’ll give the cops the right to respond to this, but if it’s true, what a bunch of little biotches.
