It must be cheaper to hire a new trainee than to hire an experienced cop.

Im not shocked at all because it snowed 8 inches in wildomar California years back . Clinton Keith road had cars stuck all over the place for miles to the freeway . AAA and 911 couldn't respond yet the swat team has tanks. If it was their children stuck in the snow on a public road with no gas , water or blanket they would have figured it out. I cleared the road that night and never charged a dime. Not one person would hook my rope to their car to save their life for liability reasons. My service dog and I were attacked by a pitbull inside of the terribles gas station in Laughlin Nevada. The first aid kit was for employees only customers must bleed out because of liability and I wasn't somebody's child. 911 showed up with a ambulance and a couple fire trucks but they couldn't help me for liability reasons because I have a service dog and I wasn't somebody's child. The hospital couldn't help me for liability reasons because I have a service dog and I wasn't somebody's child. I had to drive home and still have scars all over my face to remind what a leaderless manless swamp hell country this truly is.

Our instructor (also a chief of one of the local departments) said one thing that I still remember (quoting loosely): "If you end up in a situation like this, you must go in. I don't care what your supervisor says, or your department chief, or department policies. Each second you hesitate, a child dies. You don't know how many shooters there are and who the shooter is, but you will never know that unless you personally go inside. The information you gather outside will never be accurate, so why wait?"

@@canefan17 Sorry, it's not. It's an emotion based comment based on 20/20 hindsight and the horror of knowing the children could have been saved. If implemented in the real world that would get civilians killed and get any Department who let it happen without first deputizing the civilians, then arming and training them, to get sued into the ground on several counts. The problem was the Uvalde PD failing to do their jobs, which was a shocking anomaly in regards to an active shooter incident, and the way most PD's are trained and routinely respond to such incidents. They should have immediately handed the job off to another Agency if they couldn't handle it. They did the opposite. And it was the leadership of another Agency that eventually took charge and ended it--but by then the damage was done. That was bad enough, but allowing screaming parents to run past them into the danger zone--not the solution. I'm just surprised people on the pro-police side come up with that nonsense as well, but I'm fairly certain that if after the incident ended they were carrying out dead parents who tried to intervene, these very same people would not stand up and declare their support for letting that happen. Such is the life of a Monday Morning Quarterback trying to score emotion based points. So to close, the focus needs to be on the Uvalde PD, those who hired that Chief and then tried to cover for him, and the example that needs to be made of them so this never happens again in an active shooter situation.

So what are you gonna do? Start shooting at anyone who’s in your way, and then when you get to your child safely, you can’t see them for the next 40 years because you killed two officers? How does any of your “so glad we have the 2nd amendment” even make sense? Here in the UK we haven’t had a mass school shooting since 1996. When we lost 16 children & 15 injured. And from that day on we’ve NEVER AGAIN had a mass school shooting. We haven’t lost ANY children. None. Zero. Not only that but we don’t have as many burglaries as you do, because most of your criminals have guns so they are fearless to enter a house. Not only that but we don’t have police officers killing innocent people because they “thought” they had a gun in their hand. We don’t have shoot outs where innocent people are involved. We don’t have anywhere near as many muggings because criminals are fearful here & in Europe. If they are caught in your house(and like I said it barely happens in comparison to your country) they run for their lives. They bolt. Gone. They don’t stand there in your face with a gun, threatening your life. We don’t have people holding up stores with guns and stealing everything. But you are “so glad” to have a gun. Yet see that disgusting person who committed this crime, it was MUCH easier for him to kill as many people as he did because of the nature of the weapon. Because guns are easily loaded and it’s one pull of a trigger to kill someone. In seconds. Which means these mass school shooters can kill 10’s of children within minutes. That kind of weapon should NOT be readily available to the public. It’s fuxking disgusting that people are PROUD to have that law, the same law that prohibited this person to do that in the first place. Stop sending your children to school & having them do drills to practice what they would do if a shooter came in…. Stop sending them to school SCARED for goodness sake!!!! It’s disgusting. They should be banned. You constantly think “oh this will protect us though, it would protect me and my family”. How is it doing ANY protection? Huh? How is THAT protecting anyone? In Europe, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, the U.K…. We don’t have to worry & not only that but the amount of crime involving a gun is absolutely insane. You think having it makes it better. Yet your crime would massively decrease & there would be VASTLY less deaths with banning guns. ESPECIALLY with children in schools.

the way she says it sounds like she was comfortable with following some conception of a directive rather then doing what her gut instinct told her. I think they trained her to wait for swat or something, however it does seem that running in there with what was going on and disobeying orders if there were any is the correct thing to do. They need to train people common sense. I know of these kinds of things that in some trainings for some stuff they tell you to wait for help and stuff but then if the instructor is worth a damn he (privately) will tell you after a class that if it looks bad (consider the optics and how you are going to be judged for your actions) just to ignore the directives and that you just need to use your gut feeling. So it might be that her training had too much 'cover your ass bullshit' and not enough veterans that tell you to do the right thing and damn the paperwork. It's like hey we are training you not to do a danny glover (predator 2) but im telling you that you need to do a danny glover if it looks bad. I got the feeling she was saying like "i would just have ignored procedure if my kid was in there". But if you got that little common sense you should not be in the services, that means you have a excessive fear of bureaucracy. I am not a LEO affiliate. You need two people to pep themselves up to do whatever it takes, when you are alone its going to depend on your character. ALot of people function fine in groups but basically they should not be doing a job alone. They need to do high stress psychological response evaluation (some people just don't have what it takes to do the job as expected because of psychological response tendancies). I have a feeling whatever she did by some view of the 'rules' is correct, on paper, but when implemented in real life it ends up being glaringly incompetent and cowardly. These kind of situations require a 'gung ho' attitude.

Every single officer should automatically lose their employment in law enforcement for the rest of their lives if they were supposed to do something to protect those children when they gave an oath But somehow they did not act when they were needed.😢

[@sarahleecrochetandfabric]

The strength of this community and holding everyone accountable is amazing.so sad the other kids was not as important

[@MSSynsyterGates]

The problem is the people Law enforcement officers that are investigating the other law enforcement officers are going to do everything in their power to make sure a few officers as possible are held accountable for this failure. They have been throwing each other under the bus for months and still cant answer who was in charge or who was supposed to be in charge on that day. It genuinely seems like no one took charge and no officer was willing to take action without an order from someone higher up. Which is insane.

[@TheBarreraLifeStyle]

@@MSSynsyterGates yes no one polices the police

[@davidisrael9412]

when a community teaches lies they are not acting accountable. yes she was terribly wrong. But who is actually responsible for the shootings? Jesus says to repent of sin and be born again John chapter 3. The taxpayers who pay for secular humanists to teach children that they are animals and there is no God have a grave responsibility in all of this.

[@swed8506]

@@mariomorales8187 i fully agree with you. I'm just giving out the imagination that things could have been taken out of context for propaganda and retaliation for someone under investigation who can tarnish a department and city's reputation to clear their name as much as possible. What she said was horrible either way, but there is a chance she is misunderstood and didnt mean it the way the video painted it to be. Not saying that is 100% the case, but all options should be considered to fully make a judgement until we know everything, even her side. Why was that video even released? Parents and family members are mourning, why give them a chance to hear this? Is it to expose a new officer to make people believe it wasn't in higher ups who made the decision to fire her's control? The only way there wasn't a consideration this audio would be more bad than good, was if as long as the department's name is cleared up as much as possible, less fingers would be pointed on the ones who are in high position. Go head call it a conspiracy, but theres no confirmation that its not true

We’re going after all the Uvalde cops, they all acted like fools and didn’t do their job right. And if you’re saying “oooh they were scared” then maybe they should get a different job, because if you sign up to be a cop you’re signing up to be walking into danger to save lives.

[@oneeks5908]

I think I’m to the point I can’t watch any Uvalde footage anymore. The rage I feel that those poor kids and teachers weren’t saved is too much to bare. I’m glad what she said was recorded. All cops there that day are the worst cowards I’ve ever seen. Rip to the victims.

@@ElwynnForest Feel angry at yourself. Cops have 2 to 3A rated vests, none of which will stop a 223. How about you run into that building without a building layout or materials list, without any idea if the internal walls are rated as hard cover against a rifle round, without the ability to return fire or suppressive fire with equal firepower due to all the kids in the adjacent classrooms. Do that even once and then talk. Until then we’re all at fault for letting it get to a point where shooters consistently outgun the police due to our worship of the 2nd amendment.

It baffles me how all these police officers pass entrance exams and merit exams yet do not show bravery or courage under life and death circumstances. To be fair, not all police officers freeze and fly away. There are many who engage and sacrifice their lives for a stranger and do uphold the public trust.

[@crazyjkass]

It's a small town police department in a town where there isn't much crime. The cops there have no experience dealing with emergencies.

That’s disgusting that she said she would be in there if it was her kid. Thats so cruel and inconsiderate.

[@robinaroundtown...2194]

Nuttin' like being a "COWARD"... Same for all the other officers that didn't go in... I was a motorcycle cop 40 years ago and a Sergeant Major in the Marine Corp... I've been shot twice... And still wouldn't of thought twice about going into that school... if necessary by myself... I'd worry about the consequences later about what protocol should have been followed... It still makes me sick to this day about how it was handled... I do "not" know how those officers can get up in the morning and look themselves in the mirror and go to work knowing that they could have saved lives ... "AND DID NOTHING"...!!!!

[@UnderGroundKnox]

She verbalized it but it was CLEARLY the sentiments of EVERY "officer" there that day because if they felt any other way they would've treaded hell and high water to save those precious little babies!!

Ur right ....the only cop that went in is cause their kid was there..then left everyone's elses kid inside

[@dirtydingus5465]

As a retired LEO I am completely and totally embarrassed. After 32 years of service the men and women I worked with were solid people. It was second natural to run into danger no matter what! Our oath is to serve and protect while upholding the laws of our country. Burning houses, burning cars, drowning people, and yes armed encounters. I was with a very large and active major city. And bullets were always flying(still are) I was shot in the early 90’s trying help a person that I thought had simply broken down. I just watched another video where officers ran out of a house and one jumped out a bathroom window (another embarrassing case). The whole part of being a Police Officer is putting your life BEFORE others..perfect strangers! I lost good friends that did that very thing!

[@xmarine73]

There in lies the problem! You lost friends who did that very thing... and todays batch of officers are in it for the paycheck, the prestige, and the power. That paycheck is THE problem with the selection process. We're getting people who don't have the heart to be officers but who want that $80k+ per year with great benefits, a good retirement package, and a job that is almost impossible to lose because it protects it's own by any means necessary. Police Unions, overzealous prosecutors siding with shady cops, qualified immunity, and an us vs them mentality have created an atmosphere, within police departments, that the officers there aren't there to serve the community any long but rather to earn money for the city and preserve their own lives while doing so. The training has changed dramatically since the 90s and not for the better. I'm all for everyone going home safe (officers included) but that means EVERYONE that possibly can. Instead, in Uvalde, they waited over an hour to make it easier for themselves while allowing the victims (many of whom could have been saved) to expire. Shameful, disgraceful, and incompetent... that should be on the badges and patches of most departments around the country today.

[@NsyShwl]

Man sorry to hear that you were shot while trying to help someone but thank you for serving the community ❤.. unfortunately the trust between the people and police hasn't been there for a long time because of things that happened.. hopefully one day we all realize that the only two teams are good and evil and there is nothing in between..

[@carlosortega5130]

Police officers brag about putting them in front of danger sir you signed up for that.. do you hear military personnel say oh I got shot during duty no sir they don't complain cus the signed up for that.... Try getting your limbs blown off or PTSD.... Cops these days are pussys and over reacting to unarmed civilians that's embarrassing when it's 6 on one trying to handcuff someone they can't even one on one someone as cops where your training or they get scared while wearing body armor and it's just a kid with a gun so sad...... Do your self a favor don't bring up your a cop ever.... Thanks

Thialand is most peaceful country as they say….when the car accident happens, both gus say “Its ok.” ….. its their motto. Its part of their culture. Dr. bruce Lipton says: if the car accident happens in america, you see bunch of officers with guns hellicopters. Living in Thailand is cheap, but their hearts are full. And they also take care of elephants that they saved. It seems big countries may learn a pece but first turn off the mainstream media.
