UPDATE : Mike will be doing a follow-up video TODAY as he's received new information regarding the shooting from a federal agency supervisor. The facts are disturbing. The level of cowardice and incompetence displayed keeps getting worse. Something needs to change. Stay tuned.

Just to give you a heads up, the doors could not be locked from the inside of the classroom, only way to lock it is on the outside of the door. Also the door he walking into was never able to lock because the door bolt was drilled wrong and would not engage. A complaint was made about this weeks ago but never addressed.

"Everyone wants to be an operator till it's time to do operator shit." I know it is an old line, but this one really hits. Looking back on this from a year later, I can confidently say that the failures at Uvalde have had an impact on American policing. Just a few days ago a lone officer who just happened to be in the vicinity of an active shooter in Allen, TX took down someone on his own who was much more prepared and trained than the kid in Uvalde. He ran towards the sounds of gunfire alone and stopped the threat less than 4 minutes after the shooting began while at every disadvantage because he wasn't a coward and he used speed, surprise and violence of action. If you aren't willing to give your life in the service of saving the lives of children, I don't know what else could possibly motivate you. It's unnatural, inhuman.

As another example, there was a shooting at Las Vegas University, and 2 *campus police detectives*, without armor, shields, or long guns put him down before Vegas metropolitan police were even set up to respond. They were quick and decisive, and because of that there were only 3 fatalities as opposed to Uvaldes 19.

100%. I worked for a large municipal fire dept. for 25 years, and NOT ONCE did I see or hear a colleague suggest that we do nothing or that someone else has to do something “for our safety”. I thought I was going to die a couple times; and I’m not brave or noble, but they say “courage is the fear of being thought a coward”. In other words, you don’t back down in front of your buddies, and you put life and property at risk when you don’t act. They train you to act. Every fireman and every cop should know that you earn your twenty years of pay in a few hours over a couple days. You know that a day will come when you will be expected to put yourself in harm’s way. This is why you get paid fairly well. We had division level training with the cops for school shooter scenarios, and the absolute name of the game in those situations is to locate and neutralize the shooter as fast as possible, PERIOD. They always tell you in training that you want to go home in one piece, but it isn’t the absolute focused goal of everything you do. It’s a component of risk assessment. Some fires are not going to be interior attacks, they are going to be surround-and-drown, but NO fire is a sit-there-and-do-nothing. These chickenshit cops, sitting there in the hallway with their training and riot shields and body-armor bristling with weapons and doing NOTHING for an hour and a half should ALL be fired. Retirements yanked. FUCK each and every one of these cowards. Cops these days are forever whining about “my safety”, taking eighty year old women to the ground, violating rights, handcuffing people with no reasonable suspicion, pulling weapons on people with their hands in their pockets, bullying everyone they meet “for my safety”. You know what, Officer? FUCK your safety. You want to be safe? Go sell insurance.

None of them came out and said "yeah maybe we screwed up in this one" there was police agencies across the nation frantically telling their men not to stand around and to go in and shoot the killer even if they die trying. When other police jurisdictions are using your jurisdiction as an example of what not to do, by that time its time to start being honest and admitting 1 hour and 40 minutes to take out an untrained killer while they're geared up for war and standing around doing nothing, that's not right.

This video is a horrible review. It is completely ignorant of facts. Two key facts: (1) command called this in as a barricaded subject, instead of active shooter. (2) by the time the cops arrived NO children were screaming. The individual cops didn't do anything wrong. It was the police force at large that screwed up royally. Upper command called the situation a barricaded subject, which means that the suspect is contained and no children are around or in danger of imminent harm. This was a horrendously wrong call and the police department must be held accountable. This was not a barricaded subject, but an active shooter. Moreover, there were no children screaming that could be heard by anyone in the building by the time the officers arrived. The idea that kids were screaming and officers stood by is completely false. When the suspect is declared a barricaded subject, officers are told to hold their ground and not move in until reinforcements and better equipment arrive. When the officers don't hear any children screaming in the halls they have no reason to question their command. If you want better training, fine. But it's not the individual officer's fault some idiot called down the wrong order and this was not declared an active shooter situation. The police department must be held accountable, but not the individual officers who were doing their job as a reasonable officer would do and had no reason to question their command because no kids were screaming (this is what ignorant people who don't do their research are telling you).

[@alexhatfield4448]

Police nowadays have every asset at their disposal. Training or equipment are not the issue modern policing emphasises arrest numbers, drug busts and revenue raising through tickets and misdemeanor arrests. The time of police being people that are looked up to has come and gone now cops are just government employees that consider the well being of citizens last if at all. The police of my father's day and age are gone, the police of my generation are focused on the war on drugs and creating revenue not civil service or protecting Constitutional Rights. That's the reason public trust in the police is at the lowest it's ever been since polling on this issue began over 25 years ago.

[@markislivingdeliberately]

I think he’s right that the leftist defund movement did put fear in officers. The mere fact the very first guy before he entered the school had him in his sights and asked permission to shoot several times as a gunman with a rifle who had already fired at people walks TOWARDS A SCHOOL. The defund/blm culture or the Ferguson effect probably played a role. But maybe not in the actual funds in this situation, though who knows. But one thing is for sure they NEED to prioritize training over equipment. Why not pay for every 10 days on the job you need to train something 1 day. Hell maybe even 1 for every 5. Train shooting, descalation, Spanish, active shooter, jiu jitsu whatever the fuck. They can’t just take a training every few years and call it a day. And if they train a lot for this and still fucked it up that bad then yeah. Pure cowardice.

[@wesmcgee1648]

I'm a retired high risk entry team commander. We trained to enter rooms while taking fire. The first three officers were there in around 3 minutes. When they took fire, they retreated and quit. This not only showed a lack of training but a supreme lack of guts. I'm without further words.

[@ralphholiman7401]

Same here. I have thousands of high risk entries as a drug agent. We had two types of entries we prepared for, that we called, "The Snake" and "The Flood". The Snake was very organized, a medium speed entry, where you didn't pass up uncleared doors or areas and if you met significant resistance, you stopped and re-assessed. The Flood, was for one thing, and one thing only, undercover agent rescue (usually an active shooter situation). And, in The Flood, you hauled ass to the shooter, flooding through the house or structure to locate him and the undercover agent, and you didn't take your time, and you kept going until you found them and the undercover was rescued and the shooter taken care of. And, at that point, and that point only, you started worrying about wounded agents who got hit on the entry. That type of entry can be a gut check. But, you need to do that before that day, not while standing outside a room full of kids (or an undercover agent, for us) being murdered.

The shooter is busy killing people, and he doesn’t have eyes behind his head. Further, is a LEO trained in marksmanship and stress shooting going to really be outgunned by some 18 year old kid who literally just bought a gun? Be real with yourself. Sure, there’s officers out there who suck ass, but let’s be honest with ourselves. Violence of action would have ended this almost immediately.

Mike is simply calling a spade a spade. This is straight-up cowardice, and Mike lays all this out very well with the timeline. Thanks for such an informative video Mike, and keep up the great work with this channel! I'm a new subscriber as well, and I really enjoy your content.

We had a bank robbery few weeks ago in Victoria, BC, Canada, two gunman in full gear robbed a bank. One of the employees managed to trigger a silent alarm. Police was there within few minutes. They got there at the moment when two suspects were leaving the bank. Police literally trow themselves between the shooters and people in the bank. 6 officers were wounded, three got life threatening injuries, three minor injuries. but not a single civilian was injured and both of the gunman were killed. Watching what happened in Uvalde is so infuriating.

Grateful af for you putting this message out, Mike. Thanks for taking it upon yourself to not just talk about it, but provide and make available some of that training yourself. The only other thing I’d like to have come into greater light is where, what, why and how undercover cops have been discovered/exposed at certain of those peaceful rallies that turned violent (and some that weren’t able to be turned violent) inciting violence [especially, with so many of them caught on video]. Besides that bs, thanks for this video and thanks for everything you do.🤙🏽

[@jamesgaughenbaugh1040]

Thank you for posting this. This is total incompetence what those " officers did or rather didn't do. The should all be prosecuted as accessories.

[@Tactical_DZ]

The chief is a liar who doesn't know anything, the officer who didn't shoot when he could have was a fool and a coward, and the officers in the school who didn't enter in the room right after the shooter, all cowards, not officers, not men. We as a nation should be ashamed people like that could ever become an officer of the people.

[@GM8101PHX]

There IS NO negotiations when it comes to saving lives!!!!! The person occupying the chief position should be sent to prison period!!!!!

[@trebornamwik2462]

I don't get it. How come a masr ksma shooter is in place before the perpetrator enters the school?

[@trebornamwik2462]

Sorry about that. My thinking was, how could there be officers in place all ready before the shooting. Makes no sense? Then there would be no shooting?

[@theoneneo5024]

I'm not defending first the officer who didn't fire but I somewhat understand his hesitation. If he shot and the suspect was a minority or some other protected class then he could expect his life to be over regardless of how justified he was. Imagine if the suspect was a black, gay, and/or transgender, all we would have heard was that cops were hunting down minorities in the streets and "he didn't do nothing to get shot". This officer's life would have been over and there is a good chance the police chief would have thrown him under the bus and he would haveended up in jail. Cops shouldn't ever have to consider that crap, but that is the reality of the US today.

[@JZ909]

It should be criminal. If first responders won't let someone else step in to save lives when they can't/won't, they should be criminally charged with negligent homicide if someone dies and the death is deemed preventable had the good Samaritan intervened. The law would have to be super carefully written, so first responders don't feel obligated to let every person who wants to help onto the scene, but it should also be strong enough to pressure first responders into getting out of the way if they can't handle the situation and someone else potentially can.

[@ghostscantkill]

You said it Mike. I'm nearly 51 and my training is 30 years old. I was trained mostly by Marines, but also by SEAL'S for shipboard security force. This training was thorough, often and exhausting because in 1990-1993 when I was part of the volunteer team there were credible threats, but no additional billets available for full time security forces so ships company had to take on the task. I can say that with the training I received there was a massive lesson to be learned. Remove emotions while introducing pointed, aggressive actions you've trained through. There's no use in showing up if you're not going to do the job. Even after 30 years I would still go after a bad guy. I would not expect to survive, but those kid's need someone. These guys don't impress me. With the exceptions Mike pointed out.They should have been getting in there and killing that piece of shit as soon as they knew where he was because he's not holding hostages, he's committing a mass homicide. Mike. You're 10000% correct in what you've said here, and there's zero need to apologize for cursing at all. These incompetent motherfuckers were complicit in some of the lives lost that day.

[@wt4941]

Imagine in 10 years when those kids that survived start driving in Uvalde and they get pulled over by one of those cops hiding in the hallway. The cop will treat the kid like the bad guy, hand them a fat ticket and walk away feeling like he did his job. They should be fired and barred from any police work in the future. If this was a psych test 99% of them failed.

[@spencers4121]

Considering the ethnicity of those kids, they might end up shot for being a little to brown for their liking.

[@grassgeese3916]

that part... nobody really talks about the deep disrespect that normal individuals feel due to this "community relation" crap that the cops do..... They send a lobster-faced pink skinned boy in blue to interact with the youths.. and he always chooses someone to pick on.... Wherever he goes his badge declares his valuable service and honor, but when he corners me for a conversation it's mind games and power trip. And then the same cop will be idling at the corner down the street and if I wanna go down that street I know he'll be looking at me... looking at all of us, waiting for another chance to pump up his shriveled power-addicted ego......

[@Leonicles]

Omg, you're so right. And seeing as the feckless police department took 40% of Uvalde's budget, I hope that leaves some funding for mental health services NOW. If not, some of these kids will look to treat their PTSD with drugs- which will lead to MORE policing. I hear they are bullying the mom who ran into the building. God, imagine being one of the parents put in handcuffs while hearing gunshots? I would want to tear apart any officer who dared disrespect me I think the only way for there to be a police department, there needs to be a clean slate. Everyone should be fired. They can reapply and have their performance assessed- this happens in failing school districts. The hiring should be completely transparent, and serving the community must be part of their culture.

[@danielmcneely1579]

“Speed, surprise, and violence of action.” Fucking thank you! I can’t say anymore than you did. I was never a CIF/CRF super soldier, but I went through a lot of doors as a SFAUC-trained GB. I’ve observed over the years that LEO training is geared primarily towards self preservation, which is fine for 99% of their job. It’s not in this case. Outside of SWAT and other tactical units they don’t seem to be taught to maneuver aggressively toward the bad guy-take the fight to them. I guess a fear-driven mag dump is a technique, but maybe not the best one. Regardless of their training- how do you sit in the hall and listen to kids being murdered and do nothing? If they go home and don’t swallow a bullet in shame it means they found a way to justify it in their own minds.
