This police chief and his department let children get murdered in front of them while on the scene.

All I am going to say is "good riddance". What I am thinking is not as civilized or polite.

I’m surprised he hasn’t eaten his six.

That took a while. They were probably hoping he would ‘read the room’ and just quit on his own.

Hey - at least they fired him in the same decade as "the incident"...

All LE present at the school should be fired for Dereliction of Duty to Preserve Life. Exception for those that ended the matter and those that were stopped by force from engaging the shooter.

Those LE that used force to stop other LE from engaging the shooter should be arrested.

This man needs to be taken down to below the level of dirt.

I imagine his revolver is a striker fired Glock these days. We (parents) have used school systems like baby sitters and they raise our kids to believe all sorts of 💩. We don’t let our teachers and security force carry firearms. We bought this condition for years. We have a police force afraid to fart because arseholes scream police brutality constantly and train the force to be woke. We are now reaping the whirlwind. Bohica.

Finally. Someone, somewhere, doing the right thing. Hopefully the lawsuits begin.

Now charge him criminally. He not only did nothing to help, but he obstructed everyone else from taking action as well.

Lousy puss didn't even show up in person. Anyone read that crazy letter from his attorney - holy mackerel. That will probably do nothing but infuriate and provoke the families even further. I watched a bit of video from that meet while the board was in executive session, the audience took up the microphone and made speeches, which was probably very therapeutic for them to have their say like that.

#1, #9. "The Wolf", A B C Petits Contes, Jules Lemaître (April, 27 1853 to August 4, 1914). I am not particularly well read and understand what you mean. In this case, looking up the phrase "eaten his six" is a oddly appropriate metaphor.

This incompetent coward and his incompetently cowardly officers stood by and did nothing while children were being murdered just behind a door from them. HighSierra5 said "Something is very wrong in that town." He is right.

The Stockton school shooting happened when I was a kid. School shootings are the most horrifying event for police to respond to and there is no good way to handle them. In Stockton, Columbine, and others, the police responded and tried to do something. They went and tried to stop it. Their responses were confused and chaotic, they still tried.

In Ulvade, the police were behind a ballistic shield in a hallway as it was happening and did nothing other than wait for it to be over or someone else to act.

This is a School Police Department. By definition it is their job to protect the children at that school. They took the job, were trained and equipped for just such a emergency, and then they just showed up and stopped just before the point of contact with Ramos.

Call me naive, I have a hard time mentally processing what happened here.

If they have an 8 foot non-scalable fence, someone should let the border patrol know about it

#12. Do you mean Arredondo's resignation letter in July? Is there a link to it?

One thing I dislike about modern journalism, is they post stories about letters and documents, then only cite a few words. It is so rare for CNN or the major TV news to actually link to a source for a document anymore.

LOL

American “justice” (don’t laugh yet) is slooooooow and then it stops. Okay to laugh now. We have no “justice.”

As Sessions, Durham, Barr helping Trump vs. totally criminal Obama, Hillary and Soros.

That would take somebody with a sense of honor and responsibility. Arredondo is not so equipped.

months of angry calls for his ouster

What will be the way he will end up on top? Usually a big book deal (not this time) or TV appearances. Or a double dip job as head of security somewhere (grim laughter at that).

If he gets away with everything and some money rolls in so can go fishing will angry parents find a means of closure in the future?

God bless them in their sorrow.
