Uvalde suspends ENTIRE school district police force over failed response to Robb Elementary School massacre
UK Daily Mail ^ | 10/07/2022 | CLAUDIA AORAHA

The entire school district police force in Uvalde, Texas, has been suspended over their failed response to the devastating massacre at Robb Elementary School.

On May 24, gunman Salvador Ramos, 18, shot and killed a total of 19 children and two teachers at the school. He was left alone in the classroom for 77 minutes before police intervened.

In a statement today, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) wrote: 'Recent developments have uncovered additional concerns with department operations.

'As a result of the developments, Lt Miguel Hernandez and Ken Mueller have been placed on administrative leave.

'The District has made the decision to suspend all activities of the Uvalde CISD Police Department for a period of time.

'Officers currently employed will fill other roles in the district. Ken Mueller has elected to retire.'

Since the massacre, questions have been raised as to why the classroom holding gunman Ramos wasn't stormed by police sooner on the fatal day.

Good! Their behavior was totally inexplicable.

I’m surprised the Uvalde government hasn’t sent in the police force to finish the job they apparently wanted done on that (for the rest of us) fateful day.

They stopped people from saving the kids for absolutely no reason but to get more kids killed, from all appearances.

A Beto supporter was allowed to do this for a political agenda.

IOW, during this police officer suspension, there is zero police availability on the ground at this school right now.
Another Fine Mess an administrator is getting the school into, if, heaven forbid, another armed threat occurs there.

We have a generation of young men that have been taught that duty and honor are toxic masculinity. Expect more behavior like the cowardice displayed at Uvalde. And remember that the shooter was raised in the same environment.

President Trump didn’t kill those kids, Smith and Wesson didn’t kill those kids, the NRA didn’t kill those kids, the American gun owners didn’t murder those kids. The Uvalde cowards did. Those kids and their teachers were counting on you. YOU FAILED YOU LOSERS.

The cops actually prevented citizens from rescuing the children. The only just suspension they deserve is being suspended by a rope around their necks.

I hope “suspend” means “FIRED” in today’s language.

I question whether there should be school police departments. I favor the local PD or sheriff having a separate squad trained to provide protective services for schools.

Separate PD’s for schools will attract retired people from all backgrounds who will not step up when the emergencies arrive. Real police officers put their lives on the line each day and will run, or drive, to the scene of trouble. That’s not the mental make-up of a school police officer.

What about the 375 cops who stood around while the kids were being murdered? The only thing they did was stop parents from going in to save their kids. Cowards, all of them.

Uvalde school officer Crimson Elizondo, who responded to shooting, is fired after CNN report

She was later captured on body camera footage telling a fellow officer that if her own son had been inside the building, she wouldn’t have been standing around outside.
