These people are a disgrace to the uniform.

It’s not just Texas. It seems like every time there are lives on the line the cops wait outside for the killing to stop. It happened in the Cheshire CT murders. The police waited outside the house while the mother was raped and murdered. They did nothing while the young girl was raped and then burned alive with her sister. Every American should know that the cops won’t save them. They only come in to clean up what’s left.

One woman got tie wrapped and sweet talked an officer into removing the cuffs. She jumped the fence, ran into the school and evacuated a wing. Not bad, not bad at all.

I imagine that was very embarrassing to the gun-toting cops milling around "controlling" the parents.

When in Texas, if you want to find the biggest concentration of liberals in one place, go look in the administration building of a public school district. School resource police answer to them. That should answer all your questions.

To make matters worse, Texas law allows for public school districts to have armed teachers and staff with specialized training in active shooter scenarios. Over 110 districts in Texas do this. Mine does. Uvalde does not.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but several of them were teargassed and handcuffed by members of the Thin Yellow Line for attempting to do what the “police” were afraid to try.

Why not place your anti-Texas bias where the sun don’t shine?

Sadly, that would be an appropriate title for a documentary of this shooting.

This says it all.

No, it does not say it all. There are some points in that article that are very wrong. The article veered far off course when the author wrote this:

But we know that police across America prefer to kill innocent people – a lot of Black people – who are unarmed.

They shoot Black people in their homes. They shoot Black people in their bedrooms. They shoot Black people in their cars. They shoot Black people on the street. They shoot Black people in the back.

And they often get away with it because most of the police officers doing the chasing, shooting and killing are white.

And this pure Leftist lie:

All this in a state led by a slick Republican governor who prides himself on letting disturbed teenagers buy weapons and bullets designed not only to kill lots of people, including children, fast, but to disfigure their face and body, sometimes beyond recognition.

Like the two repellent Republican senators from Texas, he doesn’t “represent” the “state,” but the NRA and profiteering death merchants who prefer the “right” to sell and “bear arms” over the right of fourth graders to go and come back from school to their families – whole.

That happened in West "By God" Virginia.
Thanks for the correction. The point is it didn't happen by big mouth gun toting Texans anywhere in Texas when children were being murdered.

Apologies for big mouth gun toting (your words, "don't mess with Texas") Texans not accepted.

Standing by watching your fellow gun toting citizens tazed and cuffed while your children are being murdered is inexcusable and unacceptable.

One brave lady in Texas and one brave lady in West Virginia says all you need to know about big mouth Texans.

Rather than take offense to non Texans comments, maybe you should clean the wokesters out of your police departments. What makes this so disturbing to outsiders is that we still believed in Texas. Turns out many of you are more like Californians.

78 Minutes

When you really need a cop in a life or death situation, that how long they'll take to get there (depending upon lunch breaks, etc.).

It won’t bother them at all. If they were the type it would bother they’d have stormed the classroom

The writer’s “they shoot black people” rant is propaganda.

For some guys, death is far preferable than having to live with knowledge of the consequences of your inaction, neglience and failure to do your duty. These ain’t those guys

The police would like to thank the children who gave up their lives, so the cops could go home to their families because blue lives matter more than yours.

"Nineteen armed police stood in an elementary school hallway and did nothing for more than an hour while an armed teenager murdered 19 children pleading for help and the two teachers who perished trying to protect them."

If that scenario is true, then in my opinion it comes down to 2 actions:
1. Wait for further intel and orders. Which gives the shooter more time to kill more kids/hostages;
2. Or conduct a forceful entry which can distract the shooter and possibly save lives. Yes, he could turn around and kill more (including cops), but once in the LEOs have a chance to put him down.

I've read that even SWAT policies are now about the lives and safety of the officers first. That should not have been a consideration in this instance. This was about the lives of children being systematically murdered.

More will come out, I'm just working on what is mostly now known.

It would have help if someone closed and locked the front door.

"One question that all officers have to answer for themselves is how long will they wait for backup before engaging an active shooter."

With all due deference to your greater experience and training, I believe that the most important decision that confronts the officers involved is when and whether to DISOBEY the wrong stand-down/wait order. Thank God that it was easier to be made (and was made) by officers of another command.

Texas cops need to stop wearing white hats, they’re not the good guys.

We now have proof that even fully automatic AR-15s are perfectly harmless

At least in the hands of a Texas cop.
