Uvalde Texas Killing

[Ark]

No

No, It's even worse. There never were two cops. They never exchanged gunfire with the suspect.

Shock: DPS Reveals Uvalde Shooter Entered Thru Unlocked Door; No Armed School Officer

The Texas DPS revealed that the gunman in Uvalde walked into the school through an unlocked door, and did not encounter any school police.

Ah. So, ultimately, the local police did absolutely nothing of value.

Despite taking up an alleged 40% of the towns budget…..

Careful that kind of talk will get you into thread around these parts

Take an active interest in your elected sheriff, and tell the others that Walmart is hiring door greeters.

But, that unlocked door was to/from the teachers parking lot - they could not be bothered with having to unlock it every time they went in

And no way these morons need to be armed.
Fortifying the building is step 1.
As much as we do not like the staff at the local indoctrination center the terrorists are stuck at (looking for alternatives) they do make it difficult to gain entry. All doors locked. Buzz in with speakers and cameras. Basics every school should have in these insane times.

If we can send Ukraine 40 billion dollars I'm sure we can spend at least that much to hire and arm well trained security for our schools.

Biden is more concerned with boys being able to go into girls restrooms apparently.

Agendas. This drives them. It’s not unlike Social Security which could be fixed if they wanted to buy then it would no longer be a political football.

So they fought with parents. Well that’s just perfect.

Hilarious.

Clearly there was someone telling the officers to stand down. I have trouble believing there were that many cowards with guns in one place. The LEO that I know and have known would not have let this go on.

Did the shooter know the door to be unlocked or was it sheer chance that he picked an unlocked door? Facts might change but the timeline and decisions of action, or lack thereof, make the local law enforcement look very bad.

I'm curious about protocol when multiple agencies respond to an event; who's in charge? I suppose there is is basic protocol but in the first few moments who decides enter/don't enter if various departments, with various SOP's, arrive at same time?

Was mayor hogg**** in Texas?

Bingo.
My money is on the sheriff or whatever position that jag-off held. Not bashing with a broad brush here. As Frank and Denny have often said, not everyone can be a LEO.
Heck I know a couple of fire fighters that would have gone in after him.

My question is how did the shooter know that door would be unlocked and unguarded?

 

[thompal]

Ah. So, ultimately, the local police did absolutely nothing of value.

Well, they did manage to detain and handcuff at least one parent who was trying to go in and actually do something.. The other local cops were standing around him with their tazers drawn because the parents were screaming at them to do something.

The grandmother he shot in the face worked there until 2020.

That is just incredible... they spent an hour preventing parents from going inside, but some of them were going in to get their kids... the more I hear about this the more pissed off I get.

I am speechless. This mother learned of the shooting while 40 miles away and still beat police into the school.

Despite being handcuffed by federal marshals who also did not enter the building.

This could have been that small town mentality. "Nothing will happen there"

Truth is when push comes to shove, you and you alone are your own first responder.

I commend this mother's love for her children, courage, and willingness to do what was necessary.
