New video shows botched police response in Uvalde school shooting up close
NY Post ^ | July 17, 2022 10:53pm | Allie Griffin

Newly released footage from inside Robb Elementary School during the mass shooting shows more dysfunction and failure by first responders as cops stand around waiting for instructions and Police Chief Pete Arredondo pleads with the shooter to stop.

The newly released bodycam footage from May 24, first reported by CNN, shows a stunning lack of urgency among officers as an active shooter ultimately killed 19 children and two teachers.

Uvalde Schools Police Chief Pete Arredondo can be heard politely asking the gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, to surrender minutes after the cops hear a burst of gunfire from inside classrooms 111 and 1112.

“Sir, if you can hear me, please put your firearm down, sir. We don’t want anybody else hurt,” he said in the footage.

Arredondo’s pleas came after another officer received intel from dispatch that a boy called 911 from inside the classroom “full with victims” — confirming reports that some officers knew there were survivors inside, but still wasted precious time to confront the armed killer.

“We do have a child on the line,” a dispatcher tells UVD Officer Justin Mendoza, according to his bodycam footage. “He is in the room full of victims at this moment.”

I think it’s time to start putting cowards in Uvalde in jail.

I think we have all seen enough.

No Mas.

There’s about 400 popo and the complete chain of command of all of them that need to be cashiered.

Monday.

Quite frankly I’m surprised that “Chief” is still alive.

Leadership always matters at all levels. As seen with Biden, no matter how well he is choreographed or protected by the pseudo journalist/ propagandists you can’t escape the tragic consequences of incompetent leadership.

Hard for me to believe that out of all those men, one didn’t have the guts to push past the others and engage the enemy.

Ever single one of them need to be fired immediately. They aren’t fit for the job they are being paid to do.

Forget the Door.

The classrooms had no outside windows?

There needs to be about 400 unemployed law enforcement personnel.

One would think that with ~400 popo on site at least a few could become window peepers.

These daze, there are all sorts of cameras on a stick that can be reviewed in near real time remotely.

One wouldn’t even have to put one’s head at the window.
