Harrowing video shows Texas cops RESTRAINING parents outside elementary school shooting and telling them 'we're taking care of it': Cops took up to 90 minutes to get inside classroom where gunman had trapped kids 'because they needed a key'
Daily Mail (UK) ^

Shocking new video has emerged showing Texas cops restraining parents as they tried to rescue their kids on Tuesday after a gunman unleashed terror inside the elementary school, as questions grow over why it took so long to get to the shooter after the first 911 call.

Salvador Ramos, 18, arrived at the school in Uvalde at 11.30am, crashing his car into a ditch.

A school resource officer was at the scene but he failed to stop him from making his way inside.

Two other cops also rushed to the school at that time - Ramos had just shot his grandmother in the face at their home less than five miles away. She survived and called the police.

When they arrived, Ramos is said to have shot at them then ran into the school, where he barricaded himself in the fourth grade classroom and shot 19 kids and two teachers dead.

It took another 90 minutes from that point for police to declare the shooting over.

Now, sources say police were struggling to get into the classroom and needed a key to open the door.

Eventually, a border patrol agent was able to get inside and the shooting was declared over at 1.06pm.

But it questions remain over why it took police so long to get into the classroom where the kids were trapped with the gunman.

One child told KENS 5 that he was able to hide under a desk, but that a girl who yelled out 'help' when police arrived was executed.

If it's my kid and I have a weapon, I'm going in the building. If I have to wax a cop to do it, I'm going in.

The facts ARE coming out. And I’m still right.

"If it's my kid and I have a weapon, I'm going in the building. If I have to wax a cop to do it, I'm going in."

In reality, nobody knows how they would react at that given time. A person, armed or not, may not even be able to get near enough to enter the shooter's den. And if you wax a cop to show how brave you are, you'll either get yourself shot by a cop, or get yourself locked up afterwards. Either way, you won't be any help to your family. Being brave is nice, but being brave, and remaining alive is a whole 'nother thing. It's easy to say what we'd do in a given situation, but if actually faced with a life and death situation, nobody can predict how they would react. External factors play a big part, and nobody can guarantee how any of it will turn out. Common sense should prevail. You need to ask yourself, "If I do this, what could possibly go wrong...what could the repercussions be?"

Well, the most important thing:

It's a no-win situation for the cops, no matter how the situation was handled.

Saving kids' lives (potentially) is more important than some cop keeping his job in a podunk town like Uvalde. This is the same mentality the Republicans use when they fail to pass or block legislation - "we didn't want to be blamed".

Police spokesman says they’ll “circle back” to us.

REPORTER: “What were the officers doing between 11:44 and 12:44...?”

“We’ve been given a lot of bad information, so why don’t you clear all of this up and explain to us how it is that your officers were in there for an hour...but yet no one was able to get inside...?”

Using the phrase “circle back” is a 2022 admission of guilt.

"Saving kids' lives (potentially)..."

Yeah, "potentially." It's a nice word isn't it?

There is no “potentially” when the LEOs are standing around posing in their unused tactical gear. At least they won’t get reprimanded by HR.

“So you think that mother should have been allowed to go inside? Really?”

Lead, follow, or GTFO of the way.

So cops didn’t try to enter through any of the doors, not one? Just stood outside and made a plan and the plan was to wait for a key to open a door(s)?

They don’t wait to rush into someone’s house, apartment during a raid, not knowing what is behind the door. But with school children, they just wait and talk and discuss a plan and wait for a KEY to open a door.

That is pure stupidity. What if she got in the way of the police getting a clear shot? What if she got her kids killed? It was a selfish act that turned out OK but who knows what damage might have been done or how many might have been killed?

It was a stand down order from the suits controlling things.

Door open. No officers with the guts to stop the guy.

All planned to push gun grabbing a few days before Trump speaks to the NRA in Texas.

When you think “they couldn’t have made this up better” it means usually it’s a Deep State op. Remember the FBI on the scene at the draw Mohammed shooting. They arm the crazies and set them loose.

Similar to fast and furious but this is the domestic version.
