The great sin in what happened in Texas is that an 18-year-old with murder in his heart walked into a public school and shot to death 19 kids and two teachers. The great shock is what the police did—their incompetence on the scene and apparent lies afterward. This aspect has rocked the American people.
Uvalde wasn’t an “apparent law-enforcement failure.” It is the biggest law-enforcement scandal since George Floyd, and therefore one of the biggest in U.S. history. Children, some already shot, some not, were trapped in adjoining classrooms. As many as 19 cops were gathered in the hall just outside. The Washington Post timeline has the killer roaming the classrooms: “The attack went for so long, witnesses said, that the gunman had time to taunt his victims before killing them, even putting on songs that one student described to CNN as ‘I-want-people-to-die music.’ ”
Students inside were calling 911 and begging for help. The officers failed to move for almost an hour.

The commander on scene, school district police chief Pete Arredondo, hasn’t given a public statement on what went wrong. Why is he allowed not to tell the public what happened? He didn’t take reporters’ questions until cornered Wednesday by CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz. Mr. Arredondo was evasive. Reports he’s stiff-arming investigators are wrong, he said; he’s in touch with them and he’ll have more to say but not now. Then, in fatherly tones: “We’re not going to release anything. We have people in our community being buried. So we’re going to be respectful.”
A better form of respect would have been stopping the guy who left them grieving their dead children.
What I fear is a final report issued in six months or a year that will hit all the smarmy rhetorical notes—

These people who let the carnage go on are who the gun grabbers want you to trust with your life.
the cops and fake news media are just throwing stories against the wall, and they will keep doing it until one of them seems to stick
Cops are worthless. Everyone of them covers the ass of the others. They protect themselves, not the public.
Deep state and Uncle Joe are such fine humanitarians. They give graciously to their ‘families’.
It is the biggest law enforcement scandal since George Floyd ...Oh, here we go. No; what the left did in reaction to George Floyd is the scandal, and it in turn caused the scandalous police inaction at Uvalde.
No they don’t, THEY WANT US DEAD!
Stop posting BS memes. ATF paperwork and license matched and verified. He worked full time for nearly a year and saved the money. Purchased via his debit card from his checking account confirmed.
Stop spreading leftist crap that pretends more laws are needed because the old ones didn’t work or weren’t followed.
After all, he wasn't going to be around to pick up the bill.
I saw an interview that took place INSIDE THE ALLEGED MURDERER'S grandmother's house where her significant other said RAMOS HAD NO DRIVER'S LICENSE BECAUSE HE COULDN'T HANDLE DRIVING A VEHICLE.
Perhaps this explains WHY he CRASHED his grandmother's truck.
Funny how the response of Uvalde police and Broward Sheriff’s Dept were similar. I don’t think LE gets the memo in advance.
Now the new lingo is “police cowardice.” Which completely goes against common sense. Police are trained, physically and mentally, to face danger. Those police, if encountering a real shooting event involving children, would never hesitate to go in. No doubt many are parents themselves. Sure, there might be some LE that aren’t the bravest. But these men and women are profiled - before being hired - to have the temperament and disposition to act in dangerous situations.
These mass shooting events ask us to suspend or deny our knowledge of human nature. There weren’t 19 cowardly police officers there that day. Not a chance.
But there could have been 19 crisis actors taking the place of LE. Anything is possible.

Thanks
Every single one of the 19 cops should be fired, along with their chief.
The two Border Patrol guys didn’t get the memo, they just went in and took care of it.
You shouldn’t believe a word that old, out of touch, criminal grandpa says anymore than you would for Biden.
It is the biggest law-enforcement scandal since George Floyd,
During the Buffalo New York shooting a 911 dispatcher hung up on a caller.
In Uvalde Texas the police waited in the parking lot until the shooting ended.
All season sensors are concrete proof of why we must all be armed at all times.
The government will not help you
There were 19 police officers that could follow orders. Very easily.
