As someone from Central Texas, I'd like my state to have a Governor who could stand up to the N.R.A. & gun lobbyists, but sadly Governor Greg Abbott can't do that. Furthermore, I'd like to point out that our last 3 Governors were Greg Abbott, Rick Perry, & George W. Bush, whom have been the 3 Stooges of Republican state "leadership." Here's hoping that Beto O'Rourke wins the Governor's race against Abbott in November. And this is very likely given how close the margin between the 2 of them is with Abbott's approval rating continuing to fall after Uvaldi.

[@EffequalsMA]

I'm reminded, we had a shooting in Ottawa in 2014. A soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, guarding the War Memorial was killed and the gunman made his way into our Parliament building. The Sgt at Arms (a largely ceremonial position), Kevin Vickers, got a 9mm from a locked box, engaged the shooter and killed him. That is what a cop should do. Protect AND serve. Vickers was a highly distinguished police officer before working at Parliament Hill. None of those 400 cops at Uvalde could hold a candle to one retired officer doing a ceremonial duty in Ottawa.

They're not waiting for a key because at crack houses they know that most of those people are asleep and even if there's a weapons in there those crackheads are going to just lay down and at worst run so the cop has to use up some of his donut juices to catch them. But in this case nobody used any of those instruments because they were looking for yet another excuse to cower. The Rangers used to be an elite Force but now you can hear the average Texas Ranger huffing and puffing as leaves a donut shop and tries to fit into his squad car.

"Law Enforcement" does not mean "Rescue" or "Sacrifice" or "Heroism." These guys (and gals) are not Navy SEAL teams or Army Rangers. They're weekend warriors (at best) and enjoy a career in a country that, for the most part, is perfectly safe. Being a cop is not even in the top 10 most dangerous careers. Lumber jack is #1, roofers and truck drivers are also in the top ten, and none of these pay as good as a LEO's salary (plus overtime). The daily job of a LEO is to penalize normal law abiding citizens in a system of taxation and intimidation. When there is real crime and real use of deadly force by non-LEOs, like most folks, LEO's run for cover. Even SWAT teams cower in the presence of a well armed, well barricaded gun man with an drum fed automatic AR-15.

In 1981, and again in 1989, SCOTUS held precedent that law enforcement was not legally required protect the public, nor intervene when witnessing a murder. The exception being, unless their is a "special relationship", eg a prisoner in custody. According to 'The 5th Column,' those children, under state law, are forced to attend school and take certain classes. Thus, Uvalde PD is liable not only for civil lawsuits, but criminal prosecution as well.

They had overwhelming fire power but chose to be cowards children screaming and you chose to be a coward, heads need to roll starting with Abbott, VOTE for BETO and ROCHELLE.

If Uvalde was a leafy, gated, country club community and the dead children had WASPish names, this would be a firestorm on the right. But the fact that most of these kids had Hispanic surnames simply draws a "meh" from R politicians.

Cops would have gone in guns a blazin’ of it would have been a black guy. Black men have gotten killed with 60 rounds for much much less.

What the hell is the cop doing on his phone?Every cop who didn't react to save the children need to be locked up,that would be justice.We all know that would never happen,we protect the police at all costs.

[@kanghsu2466]

One of the cops who was on his phone was getting messages from his wife, one of the teachers in the classrooms, that she had been shot and was dying. That cop asked permission to engage the shooter, asked for an assault, got detained, his firearm taken from him, and escorted out of the hallway. That's how badly this crisis was handled even internally, cops harming even each other, cop on cop inhumanity.

While i hate defending the cops there....they have no obligation to protect any citizen, therefore they cannot be sent to jail. Dont jump all over me, because they should go to prison, but legally, it cant happen. Best case, they can be fired. I do agree that they acted as cowards. There were a few saying things like "we have to get in there, kids are being killed", but not just doing it, and dealing with being chewed out later still makes them cowards. I spent a good portion of the day watching body cams, and as a former PMC in Afghanistan, was absolutely sickened. Keek has no reason to say the whole "if it was an unarmed black guy, cops would have been surging in." Saying nonsensical things like this is not only false, but its irresponsible. As far as john goes....an ar15 is nothing special...it doesnt fire faster than any other semiautomatic rifle, pistol, shotgun, or even a revolver. Cops were also there when this piece of sh#t showed up at the school, and should have immediately followed him in, and terminated him before he could harm any innocents.

the cops did more to stop the parents from helping their kids inside ...this GOVERNOR is horrendous
