UVALDE DPS SPOKESMAN: WE DIDN'T GO IN TO KILL THE GUNMAN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET SHOT, SO WE JUST KEPT HIM CONTAINED WITH THE CHILDREN

There it is. There's the truth.

John Sexton excerpts from a CNN article reporting an interview between Wolf Blitzer and the Ulvalde DPS spokesman, Olivarez. He comments on the article mid-excerpt.

Olivarez said officers were inside the school quickly, and they heard gunfire when they arrived. They called for reinforcements, he said. The officers in the building waited for a special tactical team to show up as they isolated the shooter to one classroom.
"Don't current best practices, don't they call for officers to disable a shooter as quickly as possible, regardless of how many officers are actually on site?" Blitzer asked him.
As I pointed out earlier, the recommendation from the FBI is that police should not wait to form a team or come up with a plan during an active shooter situation. Even if there's only one officer on the scene, the best practice is to go in immediately and engage the shooter. So with that in mind, here is Lt. Olivarez' full response to Blitzer's question.

Correct, the active shooter situation, you want to stop the killing, you want to preserve life, but also one thing that -- of course, the American people need to understand -- that officers are making entry into this building. They do not know where the gunman is. They are hearing gunshots. They are receiving gunshots.
At that point, if they proceeded any further not knowing where the suspect was at, they could've been shot, they could've been killed, and that gunman would have had an opportunity to kill other people inside that school.
So they were able to contain that gunman inside that classroom so that he was not able to go to any other portions of the school to commit any other killings.

They were able to keep him in a room he had barricaded himself into, with children who were hiding from him and playing dead, and with some other children who were bleeding out and who could have been saved if they had had medical attention in time.

But at least the Uvalde DPS protected our most important resource: Cops' fat asses.

When the Border Patrol agents showed up an hour after the gunman started his rampage, they did not wait. They drew up a quickie plan and just entered and killed the gunman.

And I doubt their plan was much more sophisticated than, "Enter the room two by two, spread out, and start firing until he is dead."

The Uvalde cops, on the other hand, waited for the Real Police to show up to save them. While they maintained a perimeter, which was apparently more to protect the killer from parents than anything else.

The teenage madman who slaughtered 19 kids and two teachers in a Texas school spent more than 40 minutes inside as witnesses desperately urged police to charge into the building, it was revealed Wednesday.
Salvador Ramos barricaded himself inside the classroom before opening fire on students and teachers inside. Border Patrol agents finally breached the door about 40 minutes to an hour later when a staff member gave them a key.

I am at a loss at how, after 20 years of the federal government pouring billions of dollars into local police departments for "anti-terrorism training and equipment," as well as training and equipment to handle mass shooters, they are utterly stymied by a locked door.

Was a locked door an eventuality that none of their six thousand worthless Power Point presentations covered?

Now the father of one of the dead children is blaming officers at the scene for not acting sooner to stop the gunman.
Jacinto Cazares raced to Robb Elementary School when he heard about the shooting and arrived while police were still gathered outside.
While he anxiously watched the officers standing outside his daughter's school, he suggested storming into the school building himself along with other civilian bystanders.
"'Let's just rush in because the cops aren't doing anything like they are supposed to,'" he said he told other onlookers. "More could have been done."
"There was at least 40 lawmen armed to the teeth but didn't do a darn thing [until] it was far too late," Cazares, the father of 10-year-old victim Jackie Cazares, told ABC News.

A witness who lived across the street from the elementary school said onlookers begged officers outside the school to do something as gunfire rang out inside the building.

This is unforgivable. It's one thing to say "We didn't go in because we didn't know the killer was killing anyone."

It's another thing entirely to hear gunshots in a school where there are only seven, eight, and nine year old kids and still stand outside, maintaining your FUCKING PERIMETER, waiting for the Real Police to show up and do your fucking jobs for you.

You worthless dickless heartless cowards.

"Go in there! Go in there!" nearby women shouted at the officers who did not go inside, 24-year-old Juan Carranza said.
Local police, state police and 80 Border Patrol officers swarmed to the scene. Four of the 80 Border Patrol officers entered the school building and killed Ramos, according to a Customs and Border Protection official.
Carranza felt the officers should have entered the school sooner.
"There were more of them, there was just one of him," he said.

US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said in a Wednesday interview with CNN that as soon as the Border Patrol officers arrived, "they didn't hesitate."
"They didn't hesitate. They came up with a plan," Ortiz told the outlet. "They entered that classroom and they took care of the situation as quickly as they possibly could."

Generally I'd say we shouldn't rush to conclusions, but the Uvalde DPS is telling me that all of my suspicions are correct, because they won't answer questions about what the hell they were doing for that key hour.

You're "gathering resources" while children are being shot by a lone madman? And you have forty armed cops just sitting outside maintaining a perimeter?

When kids are dying, you do not wait for resources. You are the resources.

Here's what I'd like investigated: I wonder if the nation's prioritization of never shooting "unarmed (but actually armed) felons" has caused us to stop hiring cops with the sort of psychology you actually need for effective law enforcement -- which may occasionally necessitate shooting people -- and caused us instead to hire passive, cowardly shlubs who enjoy sitting around picking the underwear out of their asses while waiting for Real Police to show up and do their jobs for them.

Get ready to scream:

The Biden White House, which has demanded federal inquiries into every single cop shooting of an "unarmed (but actually armed) black man" in the past two years," refuses to call for an investigation into the Uvalde DPS's handling of this massacre.

"I know that right now, authorities are working to piece together more details of what happened in Uvalde, so we won't prejudge the result from here at this time," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre answered a reporter. "It is always a good idea to look back and try to find any lessons we can learn, especially from tragedies like this, so that we can prevent them moving forward, including the law enforcement response."

Right. The Biden staff, which called Kyle Rittenhouse a White Supremacist in a debate, doesn't want to prejudge the situation.

The spit-take above is in response to anyone from the Biden Administration claiming they Trust the Police.

They don't want an investigation because they have a particular narrative in mind -- Take All the Guns -- and they do not want any other storylines competing with that.

What they want is fury, and fury directed at Republicans... not at the Uvalde Department of Public Safety.

Schumer now says he will schedule some Votes of Fury on gun control legislation after the Memorial Day holiday, when the votes will be better positioned to influence the upcoming elections.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told colleagues Thursday morning that they should be prepared to vote on gun control legislation when they return to Washington next month after the Memorial Day recess, promising a showdown with Republicans after mass shootings in New York and Texas this month left 31 people dead.
...
"If these negotiations do not bear any fruit, the Senate will vote on gun safety legislation when we return. But our hope, even amidst our deep skepticism, is that during this week Democrats and Republicans at long last will come to agree on something meaningful that will reduce gun violence in a real way in America," Schumer said on the floor.

Meanwhile, Schumer is continuing to use the Anita-Dunn-focus-group-tested attack phrase, "MAGA Republicans."

Not "Ultra-MAGA," though.

25 To be clear, the cops went in and got their own kids while simultaneously stopping any parent from getting theirs. Only one mom gave them the slip and was able to get some kids out while these guys all played roadblock.

Abbot, but away and then put out an emergency plea for a taco truck and soft chairs while the waited for actual police to show up. And then they start tasering and pounding on parents who were desperate to save their children. Their children! Those motherfuckers. I don't care how many press conferences the cops have, nothing can erase this stain, the stain of leaving a manic alone for an hour to murder at will while the children that managed to not be massacred covered themselves in the blood of their dead classmates in an attempt to look dead. Again, children covered themselves in the blood of their dead friends to save themselves while armed police officers were outside beating up their parents. There is exactly zero nuance here. None. Fucking cowards.

Yup. I'm no warrior, but even I understand that if the initial handful of cops had engaged immediately, the shooter would have been busy defending himself or ended up dead, and he wouldn't have been taking shots at the little kids. But the precious cops got to ensure that they all went home without a scratch, and that's what's really important here.

Nope. The classroom had windows.

All those LARPing cow molesters standing around, pepper spraying parents, had plates and helmets on. They could have mounted an offensive against a single gunman in a classroom with a wall of windows. But it's safer to taze a mother. She's unarmed.

68 Speaking as someone who had a troubled teen, let me tell you trying to get effective help is a nightmare. Lots of nice blurbs on websites about their "totally awesome" services and programs, but real actual help? Zero zip nada. Shunted from agency to agency, each one sending you off on another wild goose chase. Private insurance also no help because they refuse to pay for inpatient treatment, and it's 8k a month for private pay. We are lucky that our teen finally turned things around, others aren't so lucky.

Posted by: four seasons at May 27, 2022 12:19 PM (PisyI)

70 I could be charitable and allow that the Uvalde cops may have figured everyone in the classroom the shooter had entered was already dead so the important thing was keeping him from getting to another classroom until everyone else was evacuated. BUT it doesn't seem like there was any official help to get all the other classrooms evacuated via the windows only reports of ad hoc window breaking and getting kids out. It shouldn't have taken an hour to do that and with miracles of modern trauma treatments they should have been thinking they could save kids in the ground zero classroom after getting the rest of the kids evacuated in the first 10 minutes. It is certainly maddening.

71 The single excuse I had for Uvalde LEOs not breaching the classroom has now vanished. I thought maybe they didn't have the equipment to get through the classroom door and they had to hold for keys.

Nope. The classroom had windows.

All those LARPing cow molesters standing around, pepper spraying parents, had plates and helmets on. They could have mounted an offensive against a single gunman in a classroom with a wall of windows. But it's safer to taze a mother. She's unarmed.

Looks like most of the cops there were following the lesson from the Untouchables: at the end of the day, leave your shift alive.

Cops can go get THEIR kids out fast enough. Other people's kids? Well if you're not a cop, you're Little People.

90 Those Uvalde cops first reaction was to run not to the gunfire, as claimed by Gov. Abbot, but away and then put out an emergency plea for a taco truck and soft chairs while the waited for actual police to show up. And then they start tasering and pounding on parents who were desperate to save their children. Their children! Those motherfuckers. I don't care how many press conferences the cops have, nothing can erase this stain, the stain of leaving a manic alone for an hour to murder at will while the children that managed to not be massacred covered themselves in the blood of their dead classmates in an attempt to look dead. Again, children covered themselves in the blood of their dead friends to save themselves while armed police officers were outside beating up their parents. There is exactly zero nuance here. None. Fucking cowards.

147 IF the reporting on this is true, we could use one new law:

Juvenile records are sealed AFTER 10 years as an adult with no further crimes.

If this murderer had a juvenile record (as reported) and could buy a gun because he had no adult record (as reported), THAT LAW could have had an effect.

(NOW, I may be mistaken and this isn't an issue with the current law. But if it is, I have no problem with juvenile offenses being used to fail a background check.)

As I said on the other thread, I'm expecting some scapegoat cop or chief to either 'retire' or be fired over this and be told that the rest of the Hillarys on the force will be 'retrained' or 'updated on gun scenarios.'

Frankly, not a single Uvalde parent should show up at Stinkfinger's campaign rally, but hold their own press conference and blast the shit out of the local PD. But they won't do that, and even if they did, the MFM would never cover it.

156 What bothers me, and this occurred to me earlier this morning, is that our reaction is probably what the Left wants: that is, for us to completely lose trust in such civic institutions as our local police. A divided and isolated people are easier to rule.

It’s what happens every time the left takes over a respected institution. Before the institution takes active measures to fight against the public, they stop taking active measures to do what the public thought was their job.

So yes, we should be losing trust in the police, or at least this particular police. Their goals have changed; they just haven’t told us their new goals yet.

170 To repeat something I noted earlier today, it's obvious that there is NO actual leadership at any level of the Uvalde Police Dep't. Oh sure there are timeclock punchers with titles, but no leaders. With no leadership, the police on the scene did what most people do in a dangerous situation - hunker down and try to save themselves. Even soldiers will do that if they're left on their own, unless there's a strong Leader ready to kick their asses and make them get out there and fight.

Re-watched Patton not long ago. Patton more than anyone knew well that the main difference between a great fighting force and a useless one is effective, focused Leadership.

Ignoring that's a load of bullshit on its face, some cops were giving pursuit when he ran into the school. They should have immediately gave chase inside the school, because no one had been shot yet but there was a very imminent threat. It's a farcical excuse, but it will probably work on a number of Boomer cons.

People are scared of protecting their own communities. They are scared of being called racist. They are scared of everything and all are completely awash in moral cowardice and robed in an abject fear of death because in their hearts they are convinced it's the end of existence.

It's kind of easy to say what someone else should've done, but in truth, if 99.9% walked up on the scene and didn't have a child inside they'd have just gotten their phones out to record the terrifying shrieks of pain and terror.

280 Someone needs to ask Democrats what their actual plan on gun control is, because if it's what they keep saying its certainly not gun control.

What they are proposing is setting up armed conflict between police (national guard) and gun owners. They want to spark violence, which even if a .001% occurred, would be more violence than any of those gun owners would have ever seen. They figure the outcomes are always positive, they get everyone's guns, they get dead gun owners/cops, they get talking points. And no one is a bit safer.

They also never mention how their plan never goes after criminal and illegal gun owners (something Barack Obama protected by blocking gun laws against criminals in Illinois) They want to confiscate legal gun, while leaving every illegal one on the street, so that their major group of constituents can kill, rob,and terrorize everyone knowing they're defenseless. I'll take Dems seriously when they actual tackle illegal gun crime, such as you commit armed robbery you get life in prison, selling drugs with a gun you get 50 years.

292 "We couldn't go in because we didn't know where the gunman was"

is not consistent with

"We had him contained in one classroom."

At some point they knew exactly where he was, they knew he had kids and teachers in that classroom with him, and they knew he was still shooting, because they could hear the gunshots.

And yet, they did nothing.

And more kids got shot in that classroom, and kids who had already been shot but were still alive were bleeding out on the floor, while cops stood outside and did nothing. Nothing but cuff and pepper spray frantic parents who couldn't understand why nothing was being done to help their kids.

I can remember a teacher I had when I was a tiny kid ( she still sported a beehive, for gosh-sakes) standing in the middle of the road during a fire drill and stopping a car by herself, then reaming out the people in said car because they tried to drive through lines of students crossing the street during a fire drill. The police were called and summons issued because children's lives were endangered.

Probably happened at the start. How do the police know the door is locked? They tried the door and backed off. When they were first trying to get him they likely did this while approaching the classroom, not realizing it was locked.

328 Does this stem from the militarization of police departments?

To explain: I was Signal Corps. I was support. I was trained on how to fire a rifle and how to duck, that's it. I was never expected to be in actual combat. If I were in a position that was being attacked I was expected to hunker down, shoot back and wait for the groundpounders or special forces to show up whereupon I would be evacuated to keep me from getting in the way (at least that was my understanding). I was never trained nor equipped for real combat (I had a flack jacket in my locker and a communal M-16 locked up somewhere on site, I didn't have the key).

Are cops becoming this specialized? That the Officer Robins's felt that their role was to wait until the heroes showed up? That they weren't physically or emotionally equipped for this situation?

Anyway, the kid who talked to the DM reporter said that he and four other kids were able to get under that table and stay out of the gunman's sight. That same kid is also the one who said that at one point he heard a cop yelling that if anybody in the classroom needed help, they should shout. The kid said that a girl in the classroom (he didn't say where she was) then yelled out "help" and the gunman walked over to her and shot her.

396 Then how do you define this rather large area of animal behavior research? Because that is exactly the word that is used.

Without getting into this particular argument, my sense reading pop science journals is that there is a class of scientist, or science writer, that really wants to take away any sense that humans are different from animals. And one way to do this is to use words we think we know to describe something else.

This has been going on for a long time. See, for example, Chesterton’s Everlasting Man.).

…the more we really look at man as an animal, the less he will look like one.

So, those who want man to be an animal must redefine the terms so that there’s no way to think about man not being an animal.

I’d agree with you to this point: there is no way for a researcher to know whether an animal is being altruistic or not. It requires knowledge that a human will never have about the motives of the animal.

Law enforcement officers are armed agents of the state.

For the past three years it's been non-stop abuse of police and Monday morning quarterbacking of each and every encounter. Personally, I would not have taken the abuse and quit a long time ago. But then I have a strong personality and tend to fight back. Look at the early retirements and shortage in police forces across the country. That's the strong saying '"Fvck this".

434 Why are the police paid as well as they are? Because the public believes that the police will hazard themselves to protect people.

Why are the police able to retire at such a young age even though many, if not most of them, will never face actual danger during the course of their careers? Because the public believes that the police will hazard themselves to protect people.

What happens when the public comes to the conclusion that a large percentage of the police force is basically comprised of mall cops with worse attitudes, little or no understanding of the actual law, no respect for the public, and a yellow streak a mile wide?

How is it that the school had no security cameras to pinpoint exactly where the psychopath was holed up? In the four minutes it took to get from the police station to the school, they should have had a blueprint to the school on every officer's phone, and a plan to breach. And if you don't have the keys to the front door, ask any parent waiting desperately outside for knowledge of whether or not their child was still alive, if it'd be okay to take their Grand Caravan and ram it through the admissions office. Pretty sure you'd gain entry.

467 This is beyond appalling.

1. You have a right to defend your child from an imminent threat of death. Self defense the second person. Anyone stopping you from exercising that right is a party to the threat. I.e. if you're not going to do anything, my kid's in there I damn well have a right to what's in my power to make my kid safe. Police are lucky this didn't turn into a shootout with a parent.

2. So you lack the equipment to make a gunfight safe? To bad. Numbers and tempo, now go and save those kids. You made promises to this community, kids lives are on the line, now go do what you promised you'd do. Any officer who was a party to the decision not to take this guy down should lose his badge and pension, and have a local ordinance giving him the official honorific "Coward"

I think this is the case for many. In NYC there are COPS, guys who are in SWAT and other heavy responders units who are all huge men who you would never screw with. More recently there are also cops, people who God love them want to protect and serve, but really aren't equipped, but they get a badge because of quotas.

If you're in a bad situation you want that first group, if the second group shows up odds are you're screwed, because they're going to wait for that first group to show up to do something.

You don't see firemen just letting everyone back in to a burning building to save family, cops can't do the same.

Emotionally you want them to save the kids, but in all reality letting them back in ends up worse, such as if they found kids, lead them out right by the shooter, and he mows them down.

This is the Bystander (or Kitty Genovese) effect. When multiple people are present, people will either assume others will take action and look to others to see what actions should be taken because, to some degree, they are uncertain. It's not quite cowardice, but if one person takes charge and acts, then everyone else will follow.

They must have known what room he was in, and they even knew the door was locked so it means at some point they tried the door.

...
So they were able to contain that gunman inside that classroom so that he was not able to go to any other portions of the school to commit any other killings.

But that was different once he was in that classroom. How did they learn about his location? How was he trapped there? Why did they do nothing? Why is "we didn't know where he was" an excuse anyway?

567 This is the Bystander (or Kitty Genovese) effect. When multiple people are present, people will either assume others will take action and look to others to see what actions should be taken because, to some degree, they are uncertain. It's not quite cowardice, but if one person takes charge and acts, then everyone else will follow.

Good point. Go the fire department, or a local contractor, commandeer a man-lift bucket truck, and put a sniper with a high-power rifle and scope up in the air so he can see in the classroom windows from a hundred yards or more away. He locates the shooter, and makes the kill shot.

The only reason the parents wanted to go in was because the cops weren't going in.

The cops are now confirming that. They let those darling little kids die. On purpose. Because the bad guy might shoot back.

Barricaded suspect doesn't mean unarmed, it means he hasn't started killing the "hostages". Like in a bank robbery, police aren't going to immediately bust in. It's very clearly the wrong protocol and it seems hard to make the case that they didn't know it was an active shooter situation.

Your authority to stop a parent from rescuing their child ENDS when you are doing nothing meaningful to that end yourself. Parents have rights. The limited authority the police have to remove those rights is qualified on them "handling" the situation to the best overall benefit for all involved parties which was demonstrably not being done.

The cops were actively restraining, throwing to the ground, and shooting with deterrents those parents that were trying to save their kids.

It is not accurate to say the cops weren't active. Oh, they were very active in setting a perimeter and preventing anyone from interfering with the event.

And again after it all reached completion they started beating and tasing the parents who made the mistake of approaching their own children.

Towards the appropriately assigned enemy, the cops were very very effective.

A teacher in another classroom talked about hearing the shots and hearing the kids screaming. The cops there must have heard that too. They knew kids had been shot in that classroom. They could not know their condition. Some of them were on the floor bleeding out. To conclude that there was "time to wait" was both cowardly and stupid.

Your authority to stop a parent from rescuing their child ENDS when you are doing nothing meaningful to that end yourself. Parents have rights.

During the lockdowns I've experienced as a student, and not just the drills, staff were actively checking that every classroom was in fact locked. Were the people responsible for doing that cowering in fear as well? Did they at least use the intercom/bell/phones to communicate if they were too afraid to step outside themselves? Sounds to me like they had enough time to do so.

Seems like a bit of a cop out to be placing all the blame for a propped open door on one of the dead. Convenient for the inevitable lawsuits though.

677 Both Remington (R.I.P.) and Mossberg have made door-breaching shotguns patterned after the "MasterKey" design.

Roughly speaking, about a fourteen inch barrel with a crenalated muzzle device (so it doesn't slide across a hard surface), pistol-grip (vs. full buttstock), and firing hard-alloy lead/tin slugs. It's made to place the muzzle directly in the crease of the door/frame interface, and blast the door's bolt out of the strike-plate in the door frame. One or two shots is usually sufficient. Alternatively, it can blast the door hinges, which is a sure but slower option, as there's more hinges than locks.

Pro-Tip. Any "sporting" 12 ga. can fire such slugs in this manner, but a full size shottie is merely clumsier in close quarters, but no less effective in use.

From what we're hearing it seems the highest ups made a decision, and these cops that were filmed were probably working from the idea that things were being done to get the kids out (or that he wasn't an active shooter)

There are going to be many people to blame, but those trying to keep others out of an unclear situation where there's a chance to be killed should be on the bottom of the list, those telling people to delay, that everything is fine and other shit like that (mostly higher ups who probably see themselves as the smart chief from a tv series) should be the ones getting the most heat

It is entirely cowardice that resulted in scores of officers being satisfied with forming a perimeter against the parents while children were bleeding out.

1) I've been in an active murderer interdiction class, taught by LEOs and ex-military/LEOs. While one can argue that an appropriate response *by an armed civilian* in such a situation is to seek the nearest exit, and get oneself and loved ones the hell out of the danger zone, the LEOs were unanimous that their duty is to run to the sound of the gunfire and STOP THE KILLING. As one of my instructors said, "I couldn't live with myself if I didn't."

2) This is a damn good argument for teachers' CCW or at least school resource LEOs, and HARDENING TARGETS. In this day and age, why would a school be unlocked during class hours??

3) This is also a damn good illustration of the brutal fact that the police aren't there to protect you 24/7, in fact CAN'T protect you 24/7. The first responder in situations like this is YOU. And I believe that the law pretty much absolves police from any liability if they don't protect you from harm. IOW, you're on your own.
And another strong argument for concealed carry and training in active killer situations.

705 SCHUMER: “No amount of bloodshed seems to be enough for MAGA Republicans.”

Corrected: “No amount of total bullshit seems to be enough for SCHUMER.”

706 The cops were that bad at shooting? Okay, he had a rifle, they had only handguns at that point. Handguns are less accurate, generally speaking, than a rifle. But if several cops were shooting at him, you'd think at least a few slugs would have hit him.

Doesn't just about every cop car have a shotgun?

707 What's missing in this story is

The Texas Department of Public Safety, the DPS, all the one's you see wearing western style hats, were in charge they gave the orders.

These questions are for Governor Bud Abbott not Uvalde so much.

I know I'm commenting on an old thread, but there are plenty of lampposts to go around. We don't need to split hairs on who's MOST at blame.

708 I hear people asking "How can they live with themselves?"

Quite bluntly, I sincerely hope quite a few of them decide they cannot. Yeah, I said it.

711 I've had about enough slander directed at me from these Hate and Destroy America now democrats.

FU Chuck.

I pretty much wrote that in an email to him today. The democrats are pushing to provoke a response so they can implement some kind of final solution.

712 Maybe I'm harping but again I come back to (a) who was in command and (b) what were their orders? And (c) were there conflicting orders from "on high" (feds) about "wait for Border Patrol/special unit, and if so (d) was there pushback from local command to tell them: Bull. Shit --if they're not here in 1 minute we're going in.

And if it was so dangerous to go in (per their assessment) I'd expect the leader of the operation to go in with them.

I can't believe that most of this isn't a failure of leadership and command. That would still be unacceptable, but more believable than 19 cops standing around and not engaging, unless specifically (and stupidly) ordered not to do so.

713 And a Border Patrol Agent ended it all with Tax Payers Relief Shot

714 democratic funded police dept.
democrat county.
think about it,

IT AINT ROCKET SCIENCE.

UVALDE POLICE WERE PAID TO STAND DOWN AS LONG AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE HIGHEST BODY COUNT POSSIBLE.
THESE FUCKING BASTARDS ALL NEED TO BE EXECUTED, PUBLIC SHOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH. AND PARTICIPATE.
19 DEMOCRATIC POLICE OFFICERS FLAT OUT DID NOTHING BUT SIP COFFEE AND CHEW TOBACCO.
54 MINUTES PASSED BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE TO ENGAGE SHOOTER.

715 Well now,

Guess I can withdraw my question about West Texas LEO's pursuing gunboy cause they will never say.

Either way...Black Eye for the local LEO's...you are looking like SH*T on the world stage. If I were a parent that lost a child...yep... I would have a VERY hard time even looking at you.

And don't forget...in Texas...revenge is always a plate served HOT.
