Cops Handcuffed Mother Who Was Trying to Enter School to Save Her Child, For "Interfering with an Active Investigation"

What was the investigation? Were they running a dead pool to see how many kids the maniac could kill before they did something about it?

Why do you need a gun? You have the police to protect you, don't you?

"The police were doing nothing," said Angeli Rose Gomez, who after learning about the shooting drove 40 miles to Robb Elementary School, where her children are in second and third grade. "They were just standing outside the fence. They weren't going in there or running anywhere."

State officials have said that local police were at the school within a few minutes of the gunman entering the building and exchanged gunfire with him, but they were unable to gain access to a classroom where he barricaded himself, firing on officers.

Ms. Gomez, a farm supervisor, said that she was one of numerous parents who began encouraging--first politely, and then with more urgency--police and other law enforcement to enter the school. After a few minutes, she said, federal marshals approached her and put her in handcuffs, telling her she was being arrested for intervening in an active investigation.

Ms. Gomez convinced local Uvalde police officers whom she knew to persuade the marshals to set her free. Around her, the scene was frantic. She said she saw a father tackled and thrown to the ground by police and a third pepper-sprayed. Once freed from her cuffs, Ms. Gomez made her distance from the crowd, jumped the school fence, and ran inside to grab her two children. She sprinted out of the school with them.

The police set up a perimeter to keep the crazed gunman trapped inside with the 7, 8, and 9 year old children.

Texas state trooper Juan Maldonado said he went to the school with a friend whose wife was one of the teachers slain in the shooting.

He said police were already on the scene, indicating a fast response time, and that it appeared they had set up a perimeter around the building.

Mr. Maldonado said he and the friend were able to enter the building to get students out and showed cuts on his forearms that he said were from breaking windows to assist in that effort.

"I don't want to critique anything; we're here to be supportive of the community," he said.

Unbelievable:

After the confrontation ended with Ramos dead, school buses began to arrive to transport students from the school, according to Ms. Gomez. She said she saw police use a Taser on a local father who approached the bus to collect his child.

"They didn't do that to the shooter, but they did that to us. That's how it felt," Ms. Gomez said.

Well at least the police all kept themselves safe. That's what really matters.

Update: Did the Uvalde cops go into the school to get their own children out while allowing the shooter to do what he wanted with the children he had inside the barricades?

54 These shootings will keep happening for two reasons and gun control has nothing to do with it. As long as insane people are roaming free and not confined to psychiatric hospitals they will continue to do insane things to everyone else.

The second thing is gun free zones. I don't know if it contributed in this case but it tells the crazies they will not be stopped.

I believe that schools where the rich and powerful send their kids are protected by heavily armed guards. They virtue signal with other people's children's lives.

108 Reportedly, Texas has strong sovereign immunity protecting local and state cops and the school district and due to Scotus decisions, that would carry over to federal court suits on these. Dunno if feds did anything wrong unlike what happened in Florida Stoneman shootings.

I don't know what the cops' governmental immunity looks like in these circumstances, but the school is bulletproof under Texas law. Only thing public schools are on the hook for in Texas is motor-vehicle-related negligence. If the bus driver negligently runs over your kid in the parking lot, you may get to collect. If the school was negligent in a way that contributed to someone, even a school employee, killing your kid, you get to go fuck yourself.

175 If you hear gunfire, hostage situation no longer matters. He's killing the hostages.

While I agree, I am guessing they figured "if we go in, then he'll take hostages" but even if that happened... he stopped shooting right? This whole "wait 'til he's out of ammo" approach is horrible and wrong.

So Beta trying to get his worthless mug in and biden propped up the night of was done to hammer leftist talking points.

The left doesn't care about anything but gathering power and protecting what they've got. And they can't be expected to even do that in an ordered civil way because recent history has shown them they can do whatever they wish and still come out on top.

Worth the effort to try.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison
--------------------------
Due to the 11th Amendment and Rehnquist era court decisions, it would be difficult if not impossible to sue these cops (see Morrison v. US) even if Congress granted jurisdiction in a law such as VAWA and retro application could apply. Plenary policing power resides with the states and as bear asb mentions, Texas has a strong version of sovereign immunity.

In the Stoneman case, the FBI got sued over its botching of a credible tip and the district got sued for misbehavior due to its procedures. Both settled. I would have to look up the complaints to see what those suits entailed as far as claims because the courts never addressed those cases due to settlements.

They did go in immediately. The shooter barricaded himself in a classroom and it took them an hour to get in. Other reports suggest that it took so long to find someone who had keys to the door.

If the school was built anytime in the near past, it probably was built to withstand a school shooter, which ironically turned the classroom into a bunker once he was inside.

230 To continue TJM,
One of the issues involved with suing individual cops in their capacity as sworn law enforcement agents is that generally speaking--the courts have repeatedly refused to make cops or their departments responsible for failure to perform law enforcement duties unless the person is in custody (then 8th Amendment applies as basis and relevant congressional laws allowing prisoner lawsuits to commence.). Never particularly studied whether any state dared to assert a duty to protect individuals outside of custody but never heard of such either. See the DeShaney case and Castle Rock case for explanation.

Generally speaking, duties exist as to see to no harm comes to specific individuals in custody but otherwise no duty to the general public. This is also true of individuals outside of required reporting in a civil sense, they have no duty generally to come to the aid of others.

heads need to roll relating to the campus being unlocked. that's not policy at all

it's typical for districts to only have a few resource officers, and they usually only stop by the elementary schools once or twice a day, or a week depending on the district. They stay at the high schools

Shooting through glass usually deflects the bullet and head shots of a moving target are a lot harder to pull off in real life than in entertainment media. You would probably have to shatter the windows first and hope the murderer did not take cover.

There is a reason center mass shots are taught and if wearing body armor apparently then shots to the pelvis or the head if the center mass shots do not take effect.

Whatever you do, if you are depressed, do NOT listen to Pink Floyds album "The Final Cut".

Yes, I know it really should be considered Roger Waters first solo album, but the music and lyrics might make you want to end it all. It is that depressing.

Posted by: Scuba_Dude at May 26, 2022 04:37 PM (4q/mG)

336 The truth?we are on our own. Police have no duty to protect any of us. None. If they decide to great. I've been told its a personal decision.



Great. I can live with that. 1. I get to be armed. 2. I get to defend myself. 3. They stop selling me this song and dance about being heroes while they let kids die.

With those three conditions, I'll accept they don't have to do anything. But that's not how it works, is it?

Hero is a title that is earned, not bestowed upon graduation from an academy. If they aren't going to be bothered to earn it, I won't grace them with it.

344 I actually can't process this as physical cowardice. I don't think I'm an especially brave person, but I actually find the idea of LE holding back with kids being shot at for fear for their own lives to be simply incredible.

What I can imagine, more plausibly, is that some cretinous, donut-breath supervising bureaucrat issued "orders" for the officers to stand down and the rest complied with the order out of fear of losing that cushy government pension.

That is of course equally if not more reprehensible, but to me would just seem more plausible than physical cowardice. I simply could not fathom an officer, or any adult male, fearing more for their lives than the need to at least try to do what they could to save children.

345 Pretty sure that after Columbine.it was no longer SOP to surround the school and wait. That was one of the much-discussed lessons and changes implemented as a result of people bleeding out while cops sat outside.

This is very much not new territory here, this has been factored into school shooter response policy and prep for 20+ years.

Instead they'll stick together out of solidarity. The biggest, most heavily armed gang in the world, and instead of running drugs, they deal in pensions, grift, and power-tripping.

This is entirely on them, and if it leads to "tarring with a big brush" so be it. They did this, not me. I didn't make them wait an hour for those kids to die.

Posted by: kraken
-------------------------
Yes--for two reasons, like in football, the pelvis and torso, unlike arms, legs, or the head, are a big target that cannot suddenly change direction. They have the pelvic girdle and with the right bullets (especially the slow and heavy 45 ACP 230 gr) or rifle bullets can collapse the ability of teh killer to move by destroying the bones and nerves necessary to do so. People with broken hips don't move much. Then, to promote collapse by blood loss, they contain major arteries.

Two guys on NYPD's famed Stakeout Squad that battled robbers were called the Proctologists by the medical examiners as they preferred those shots--kept the robbers from running and harming others by dropping them.

Most are not tarring all law enforcement, but we have seen this story before. The story is thus: police show up, treat it like a hostage situation, and set up a perimeter. Then wait 40 mins or so for the SWAT team to arrive.

They were already in the building, it was an internal classroom door that was locked. And again, if the school was built any time recently, it was likely built with doors and glass designed specifically to prevent shooters from breaking in.
Posted by: Colorado Alex


Going off of memory here, but most of these dickless murderers haven't had to break into classrooms, they generally find open doors or bluff their way through the school staff.

Biggest problem is that most classrooms have only one exit. Once the dickless murderer starts working on the door, the people inside are just fish in a barrel.

On the infrastructure side, one of the most important things that can be done is to put in multiple doors that don't open into the same hallway. Give the room occupants multiple exits, multiple chances to escape.

If so, I am not yet prepared to be judgy about that......however, I am absolutely staggered that that wasn't one actual man among them who could not bear to think of a roomful of children being slaughtered, and decided "to hell with it, I'm going in."
I had an uncle who was a card carrying member of the KKK, but when a Jim Crow era segregated blacks only elementary school caught fire, his sorry ass was one of the first ones on scene, and rushing in to the burning cafeteria.
He was such an asshole about race that he was also one of the first to be questioned about the fire, which mightily offended him, and he was shocked that anyone would think he'd hurt kids....but my point is, if that old reprobate would run into a burning building to save children, how could there not be at least one man in a pack of cops and Feds who was willing to at least try to go in?!

It has been considered wrong to wait since the Colorado shootings in the 90's. Police are supposed to immediately move in. One, you are to stop it from being a shooting gallery. Two, the perps often give up when confronted.

The other problem with this approach, setting aside the serial mal-/misfeasance of modern law enforcement, is that it's anyone's guess whether the facts will come out. We have a docile, biased, borderline-retarded media. Law enforcement immediately springs into CYA mode. And the government, at all levels, has not proved itself to be terribly transparent or honest. There comes a point at which expecting me to engage in good faith is just preposterous, a waste of my time.

Easy to do. That is why torniquets have come back in fashion. You might lose a limb but your life can be saved by them. Modern surgery techniques can also often save the limb today where previously they could not after application of the torniquet.

I understand your point. I can also see me doing exactly the same thing to save my own kid first. I know, I know, but that would be really hard not to do.

547 #345 You are correct. I worked 23+ yrs. on the TBL before, during and after Columbine. As someone who’d been trained to sit and wait for SWAT to arrive, it was hard to wrap my head around the concept of Active Shooter response (and it was NEVER about self-preservation, cowardice, collecting a pension, protecting a guild or any of that garbage. The point was driven home by the footage from VA Tech, where each gunshot you heard was an innocent being shot. That, plus the fact that I had two kids in primary schools at the time, made it a MUCH easier decision to run into the incident to end it without more carnage.

557 $1M locking system at LCHS is one more tool in a worst-case scenario, L.A. Times, Dec 4, 2019

-----------
That seems like a great investment but could something installed for individual classroom safety be a curse/impediment with a shooter or other menace inside a locked room?

(Not meaning something like this is defective if any way but if there's no camera to see what's going on inside a room, what would be the protocol for unlocking the access door from outside or remotely? I suppose that may be part of the purchase and training packages. I don't know.)

558 From the daily mail

Salvador Ramos arrived at Robb Elementary School at 11.40am on Tuesday morning after crashing his truck
Contrary to earlier reports, there was no school police resource officer there when he arrived
He walked 'unobstructed' into the school then police arrived four minutes later
He shot at them so they retreated - leaving him alone in the classroom with the children and teachers he killed
It took an hour for SWAT teams to arrive, break into the room and finally kill him while other kids hid
There is growing anger over the police response and the fact that some parents were held back from entering

I also heard during the presser that he crashed his truck at 10:28 and shots were fired outside the building.

565 Biggest problem is that most classrooms have only one exit. Once the dickless murderer starts working on the door, the people inside are just fish in a barrel.

On the infrastructure side, one of the most important things that can be done is to put in multiple doors that don't open into the same hallway. Give the room occupants multiple exits, multiple chances to escape.

Cabbie was telling me today how her mom's car got stolen, and they called the cops, who were disinterested, to say the least. So they drove around just looking for it, and lo and behold, found the damn car. In the deepest, darkest 'hood.

They call the cops back and tell them. The cops say wait there. They call back again. Same story. And again. For three and a half hours.

Finally, the gangbanging hoodlum who stole it comes out, and makes them, because they were the wrong color to be out there at dusk. He goes running for the stolen car, and they took off for fear of being shot. Car - gone.

When I was forced to attend government schools (it was the law); they were experimenting with open classrooms where an entire grade would occupy one of several wings of a large central core. The wing was subdivided with cabinets on wheels. For those with attention deficit problems it was a nightmare because one could easily see and hear what was going on in other "pods", and if another grade/wing was getting rowdy, we all could see and hear it.

There were, in effect, countless exits.

Apparently, Larry doesn't know the shooter bought his guns legally at a FFL dealer. These people are such cowards and run as fast as possible to not be tagged with bad PR.

you even see it here, in the words of an otherwise sorta stand-up guy: "Texas state trooper Juan Maldonado said he went to the school with a friend whose wife was one of the teachers slain in the shooting.He said police were already on the scene, indicating a fast response time ... Mr. Maldonado said he and the friend were able to enter the building to get students out and showed cuts on his forearms that he said were from breaking windows to assist in that effort.

I've called them 3 times.

1: From a pay phone, to report a driver going wrong way at high speed. Was told to hang up and call the sheriff's department and I told them I couldn't cause I had no change.

2: A Dumpster near my home was on fire. They said it wasn't an emergency and I asked "So, when the tire store the dumpster is beside catches on fire, should I call you again or is that not an emergency also?"

That said, please be reminded of the successful LE responses to AS situations that have occurred since Columbine. At times, even off-duty LEOs, without backup, body armor or radio, ended Active Shooter situations on their own. I guess my earlier point (such as it was) simply reflected my feeling that facts should come in before blanket judgements are made. (BTW I agree with the posters who make the point about questions going unanswered and/or facts being covered up. I experienced it myself; what a horrific situation that was!)
