Emotions flare at Uvalde school board meeting before police chief's firing

The ex-"chief" won't show up because he "doesn't feel safe"?!?!? Utterly SHAMEFUL.

[@gordsruby5963]

Yeah and parents won't show up either because of their guilt. They knew of a potential school shooting and did nothing. All the warning signs were there and parents still ignored the call. The news Media covered the Columbine and Sandy Hook Massacres, and parents refused to take a stand. The final straw, the straw that broke the camel's back was their child practiced and rehearsed ACTIVE SHOOTER SCENARIOS AND DRILLS. So parents were well aware of the possibile dangers. So maybe one day the chief and the parents can get together and be ashamed together.

Yes and put the parents in jail for child neglect and for not doing more to ensure their child was safe to attend their school. A mentally ill 18 year old was legally allowed access to an AR-15 assault rifle and nobody cared to even ask. The greatest thing about the word COWARDLY is its indiscriminate and universal, it can be used for parents who did nothing but ignore all the warning signs, and youtubers who are afraid to get involved in their communities to stop gunmen from targeting and killing innocent children. A coward is anyone who chooses to sit on their sofa doing nothing but keyboard bashing. That to me is cowardly!

They were not in a stand down because of an order from mickey mouse School police chief Arredondo. Why were they waiting for BORTAC to take the shot? Did someone want BORTAC to take the credit for killing the shooter? Why because Operation Lone Star needed some good publicity? Were taxpayers complaining about the Millions that Operation Lone Star was costing Texas every week? There were SWAT teams already there early on. So why wait for 77 mins? Retired LEOs and veterans are saying this. The state DPS was too involved in the response to the school shooting.

[@madridistaporvida6529]

God has no balls if he's not doing anything. Where was he? If your God is real, he's a bigger disgrace than these cops.

[@retro9194]

They're still figuring out how to cover their own asses. That's good why they won't let the public in!

[@irenesanchez846]

Brave little girl n well said step down turn in ur badges...you FAILED LITTLE ANGELS LOST THEIR LIVES N TEACHERS THAT WERE MORE BRAVE DID THEIR BEST TO PERFECT THEIR STUDENTS ... JUSTICE FOR THESE PARENTS

[@stonedsasquatch]

Closed session= we are going in back for cocktails

[@robman247]

Well Uvalde you can always change the school board by voting them out

[@lokihorany]

Vote them all out! That’s just inhumane treatment of those families.

[@anissamiles1782]

May God continue to strengthen these Beautiful people in this community to fight for their Loved ones who are no longer here, in Jesus name amen 🙏🏿💖🙏🏿💖🙏🏿💖🙏🏿

[@SkynetT800]

This needs to be taken to the supreme Court where the whole country can watch

[@W8RIT1]

1 minute????

[@helensammann5865]

I'm from a state in the west and my heart just aches for the families and the town that has had to go through this and STILL has to endure it. I just don't understand what the reasoning was for the police to have to stand down. Has it ever been explained? It seems so many people involved with this need to be arrested and stand trial. My prayers are with all of you who are hurting 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@txtom]

Hopefully Uvlade voters will remember this next time they vote for school board members!

[@QueenAllTheWay]

What’s astonishing is that this city voted for Greg Abbot’s reelection

[@brandonsmith6353]

Vote the entire board out!

[@claycox1829]

Where are all the concerned residents? These meetings are always nearly empty which is just as strange as the 376 officers standing around at that school, the whole town should be at these meetings but there seem to be more outrage from citizens that don’t live there than Uvalde residents, very very strange

"I hope I didn't butcher your name, ma'am." Nah, you only gave a helping hand in butchering her loved one.

[@Mac-Lovin]

These cowards only give one minute to hear your grievance which is a bunch of b******* I think each person should get least 5 minutes to 10 minutes to either grievance public officials

[@TheNewRobin30]

It’s so insane to me that the council will just let listen to them open their hearts, and then just be like “cool, next?” They’re just listening but don’t care enough to hear them. The crowd applauds the speakers, indicating that the city agrees with them, but they just don’t give a shit. In one ear and out the other. It’s sad, and maddening. And heartbreaking because nothing will ever be done about this problem.

[@freemindthinkerezrapound5071]

What an absolute disgrace to start the meeting by threatening the victims that has to go down as the most disgusting opening ever

[@mattybaddT.V]

All the police on scene need to go to prison Period!!

[@UriValdez]

This whole thing is shameful!

[@gerardolopez5875]

Termination, its not enough 😞😞

[@karlwa641]

I'm sure those people up there can barely handle the children under their care much less *adults*

[@OCDTraci]

This board INFURIATES me. Look at them hightail it out of there as soon as they've "allowed" the little people to say their pieces. All this by the book corporate nonsense should be thrown out. Are they not even human??? They couldn't care less about what these families are begging for. Absolutely SICKENING. The angry parents are the change that community needs.

[@sgtliles30]

Someone needs to sue the board members and seize all assets

[@missmarya747]

The VOLUME IS TERRIBLE

[@J.J39]

Bless the families first of all. Can anyone see and tell , if this so -called board meetings are getting anywhere : i feel for the families their frustration and anger. They turn off the mic 🎤 on them . The board have rules but no answers they are slow themselves to come out and face the families. This people like the commanding officer are not prepare . The need to go as well period….

[@J.J39]

After all this months . They seem like it was a isolated incident. They should have admit it in the begging, in plain damn words. WE WERE NOT PREPARE FOR THIS . And apologize to these school staff and parents. What been a cowboy , makes them so tuff. I look back now this shouldn’t never have happened defend and serve .No words needed they soft period…. Anyone agree . Parents should be the protectores. For now one arm yourselves no one helps out there….

[@libbeytds]

That arrogant, casual little "appreciate it" is the pinnacle of disrespect and contempt.

[@bikessunshine8461]

[@renerivera5096]

[@KostaLaskaratos]

😇😭💔STAY STRONG UVALDE💔💯

[@joshwesley5789]

That little girl telling her law enforcement that they should turn in your badge because they dont deserve to wear one... That made me proud to be an American. That little girl is part of the future of our nation. I got chills while she was hollering... So proud of you baby girl, stay strong.

[@nulse55]

Our condolences to all the People of Uvalde. Your anger is deserved. Your pain should never have been. Our hearts are with you all. Bravo young lady you're speech is well-founded. To those sworn to Protect and Serve in Uvalde....You have failed as the World recoiled in the horror at your cowardice. Western Australia.

[@Arcibun]

I skipped ahead 10 seconds to see the 2nd dude walking up to the stage, legit thought he was gonna fight for a second

[@labronco7511]

Is the sound bad , purposely?

[@robertrubio1680]

Fire them 🔥 all!

[@lesliebradroyer6784]

I was apolice officer in Canada. I attended a conference on school shootings. We were told we will have a "MUSTER point" I stood up and said "No" IF a gunman is killing our children "I will move in to eliminate the threat on my own." Please listen to me! There are "Alow of police officers3 that should not be police. I told my chief of police that I would defie his order. I will go into the school alone and stop the threat to our your . WIN LOSE OR DIE, that's what I signed up for. Shame on you Valdda police. Thanks to The border security that finally went in. If it were I I would have been in that school the moment I arrived

[@brandonray8409]

I’m so proud of that young lady!!! Absolutely brave
