2:09 I agree with virtually everything that Chief Vanghele said in this interview, except for his potentially-dangerous comments at 2:09: "There really is no rank". If the officers had responded urgently and appropriately to the situation to promptly neutralize the threat, you would be absolutely right; however, when the police chief finally arrived on scene, he had the OBLIGATION to lead his officers into the fight and ensure that they were doing their jobs. All officers involved, not least of which the police chief, failed in their duty, and all deserve to be held responsible. I also strongly disagree with the assertion at 6:17 that some part of this has to do with money. This has NOTHING to do with money, gun control, or any other abstraction. The source of the problem is the cowards who were on scene that day. With that, we may have an example of toxic culture and inadequate leadership, but ALL of this boils down to one failure: the failure of sworn law enforcement officers who failed to uphold their oath and their obligation to the public. Everything else said about this abject failure is part of some unrelated agenda. If this isn't a classic case of sheer human error, then there is no such case. By the way, Chief Vanghele claims at 6:24 that "It takes a lot of money to properly secure a school." He then goes on to list "doors that lock a certain way, camera systems, access control, different physical barriers... and an armed school security officer." All of the first four items are relatively inexpensive. In fact, most schools, including Robb Elementary School as we have observed, are already equipped with robust doors and camera systems. From all reports, the school apparently lacks locking mechanisms that would allow each classroom to be locked from the inside; however, there are easy and inexpensive solutions to this problem. First, they can install basic doorknobs that can engage the locks at all times to ensure that the doors are locked every time the door closes. This is a feature on even the most basic of doorknobs. In addition to or instead of this, each room can be equipped with a deadbolt, another inexpensive solution. If the school district opts instead to spring for commercial keypad lock systems, this is still a solution measuring only in the hundreds of dollars per door. The other aforementioned solutions amount to less than twenty dollars per door. In the event that the school district were to augment its existing security camera systems, they could do this at a cost well below a thousand dollars; and if they were to install an electronic access control system in addition to, or instead of, basic doorknobs, deadbolts, and/or commercial keypad lock systems, this is a solution measuring around one thousand dollars or, otherwise, in the thousands of dollars. If the school district were to replace its doors with the latest steel security doors, this is a solution measuring less than one thousand dollars per door. So, at this point in the calculus, and upon adding a full-time armed school security officer, we're looking at a solution measuring in the tens of thousands of dollars. And once those brand new systems are in place, the only recurring expense is the salary of the full-time armed school security officer, and I'd personally be willing to bet that, in most communities, there is a retired officer, or even several, who'd be willing to volunteer or work for a pittance in assuming this role. Either way, as far these expenses go, the total cost is virtually negligible, as far as public expenditures go. Ultimately, Chief Vanghele's concerns about money are unwarranted here, and I'm afraid that they stand only to advance an entirely unrelated agenda.

Calling the Uvalde cops "cowards" has been done by a lot of civilians and reporters. It's good to hear an LEO, especially one with his specific background, using the word. A cop shouldn't have to be told that putting himself in harm's way might be required of him. We all know it goes with the job. Here's a thought. Every LEO involved with Uvalde should receive an email notification every time some cop anywhere here in America dies "in the line of duty". They could use some good role models. And thank you, sir, for "putting one foot in front of the other" that awful day at Sandy Hook.

2:09 I agree with virtually everything that Chief Vanghele said in this interview, except for his potentially-dangerous comments at 2:09: "There really is no rank". If the officers had responded urgently and appropriately to the situation to promptly neutralize the threat, you would be absolutely right; however, when the police chief finally arrived on scene, he had the OBLIGATION to lead his officers into the fight and ensure that they were doing their jobs. All officers involved, not least of which the police chief, failed in their duty, and all deserve to be held responsible. I also strongly disagree with the assertion at 6:17 that some part of this has to do with money. This has NOTHING to do with money, gun control, or any other abstraction. The source of the problem is the cowards who were on scene that day. With that, we may have an example of toxic culture and inadequate leadership, but ALL of this boils down to one failure: the failure of sworn law enforcement officers who failed to uphold their oath and their obligation to the public.

What this officer is saying is what the parents fought to do, themselves, and what most of us just intuited. There's no rank when children are at the end of a murderer's gun in their own classroom.

I could not understand the passivity that made him stand down, and allow himself to be stripped of all natural instinct.

Absolute & total cowards who should NEVER be allowed to work another shift "protecting and serving" because they don't know the meaning of those words. Those innocent children completely helpless, terrified and begging for help while they just stood there with their weapons and their bullet proof vests and allowed this monster to torture, terrify and ultimately murder babies. Were none of those officers parents themselves? I ask that because I am a mother, first and foremost that is my job in life, to protect my daughter at all costs. To give my life so that she may live on. Not one of them stepped up, not even one of them. Back in 2010 the high school that I attended and my daughter had just graduated from months earlier was faced with a school shooter and on that day we don't know how many lives were saved by the incredibly brave actions of our hero, officer Carolyn Gudger. What we do know is how many students, teachers, and staff members that we lost on that day and the number is 0. The shooter came into the school behind a student who was running late. He was a deranged man armed with guns and intent on using them. He held a gun to our principal's head and officer Gudger inserted herself between the Principle and the gunman, telling her to run to the safety of the main office. This shooter had intended to pull the fire alarm so the hallways would be filled with students and teachers, all of which were his intended targets. Officer Gudger was not about to let that happen. Not on her watch. What followed was a stand off between officer Gudger and the gunman as she tried desperately to diffuse the situation, all the while walking the gunman slowly away from the most heavily occupied area of the school into the least occupied area of the school where he was essentially trapped with nowhere to go and she had total control over the situation. What the shooter didn't know was that the area where she led him as she tried to diffuse the situation has a "hidden entrance" that was right behind him, which is where her backup officers entered and in the end they had no choice but to use deadly force. Officer Gudger is this really short little woman but what she lacks in stature she makes up for with the heart of a lion, a dedication to fulfill the oath that she took to protect & serve and the courage & bravery to do what she is trained to do and that is put her life on the line for those she is charged with protecting. It saddens me greatly that this amazing, courageous, humble, dedicated, heroic woman never made the news, except locally of course. What she did on that day was remarkable and we love her dearly. Makes you wonder why the media wasn't interested in covering this story. The school is Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, TN, the date was Aug 30, 2010 and our School Resource Officer, who was also a local police officer, and our hero is named Carolyn Gudger. I share this story often so that more people will learn about the hero that lives among us named Officer Carolyn Gudger. It is my hope that this story may also provide hope at a time when these events are happening all too often and people are losing hope of ever finding a solution to prevent this from happening again so that our children can once again go to school & learn without constant fear of fighting for their lives.

It felt like I had been lied to since all around me, growing up from kid to adulthood, were saying that the police would protect others. With all the news about police brutality and this, I really wonder why we even have the police if they really don't have a duty to protect/put their lives down?

[@prairie745]

all of them!

[@2commajourney]

yeah the supreme court did say that. well shit if they dont wanna protect and serve at least they shouldnt have stopped the parents from trying save their own children's lives. I mean they dont wanna so something about shit then let the parents do what they wanted to do in that situation.

was that this new right wing court?

I absolutely reject the excuse that money stands in the way of school security. If the school can afford a football stadium and other such sports complexes, then the money is available, and being spent on other less necessary projects.

[@trex3003]

Bingo!. There's always money for sports but not so much for education or security.

[@4knewt505]

I'm sorry. There's not always money for sports. I pay huge sports fees every year but there is money in schools, it's just at the top and people have to stop being greedy

[@monstead]

The money from the forthcoming lawsuits...defending them and paying out is going to cost one hell of a lot more than school security. Not to forget...the cost to tear down Robb Elementary and building a new school.

[@marycorzette6562]

I absolutely 100% agree! The "police officers " from Uvalde made themselves look like chickens. Seriously! Makes me want to research the crime rate, in this town. Wow! It's police like this. That completely give ALL OFFICERS an extremely bad name!!!!!! It really makes me wonder, how many crimes have the Uvalde police department, covered up. Due to their complete incompetence!

[@SteveSmith-nh4fz]

Yes, how are you doing?

[@janetharris4237]

Well said! And it is the same with my city of Pasadena, TX. In 1991, PPD murdered my brother execution style by a bullet to the back of his head as he lay sleeping. PPD told us he committed suicide which we never accepted. It took my sister and me 27 years to finally view and obtain the death scene images which clearly depict that he was murdered and which are posted on the page my sister and I created for him last year, Justice For Marvin William Harris. Also posted is more about his story and why PPD murdered him. It is an evil world we are living in but what happened in Uvalde is beyond evil!!!

[@marycorzette6562]

@@janetharris4237 I understand the confusion about the murder of your brother. My brother, was murdered in New Orleans., in 92' he was only 23 yrs old. They claimed the same thing (suicide) . Then, when I called looking for answers again 5 years later. They said the detective that handled my brother's case..never worked for the Homicide dept. Also, conveniently, the coroner never existed. When I'm looking at his death certificate, while I'm being lied to. I get it. And it breaks my heart that this world has become so EVIL. GOD EXISTS PEOPLE! And we WILL, have to answer for our actions!!!

[@AlcideIzMine]

She was a true hero. She also cleared at least one classroom. She told the students to run the way she came in. She saved a bunch of kids that day.

[@SonyaHudson]

I agree with you sir 100%! Those officers took an oath to preserve life. This means you go in anyways even if it means you lose your job. You can get another job. But you can never sleep well knowing the blood of 21 souls on your hands.

[@sharoncc9192]

This is exactly how I feel. It seemed like the officers there, thought they would lose their jobs if they acted on their own and disobeyed orders. But we all know disobeying a bad order to save lives is the moral thing to do.

[@garybell4207]

You are right sir. This is the most cowardly event I've ever witness involving law enforcement. Well what do you expect because they spend so much time killing unarmed and innocent people when a real predator shows up with a gun you saw who the real tough guy was. An army of cowards scared to take out a lone gunman. I don't want to even imagine if there were a couple more.

[@alexjoeluke]

So sad that we have cowards and slackers “protecting” us. What a joke.

[@daveheesen9174]

in the military, this behavior...( at least for the time being) would be called cowardice under fire and i remember when a possible penalty would be firing squad

[@daniellekrammel4211]

"They will take that to the grave with them" ---- yes, they will. And their inaction led to a bloodbath. Children unrecognizable due to the damage to their little bodies. This man is speaking 100 percent truth.

Who cares what the governor had to say. What he said right after it happened is what matters the most. He had no proof, no evidence & mouthed off. Praised them even. He still hasn't come out & demanded they be fired or held accountable at all. He's a coward just like them.
