  1. Terrible police department, scared police don't save lives, podunk border town police, those kids deserved better

  2. The cops assisted the killer by not allowing the parents to help if they refused to do their job. Who stops good people from stopping the bad guy. Insane

  3. There colors dont run

    Into classrooms to save children
    Except their own

  4. There wasn’t a cop there now…..BS, they protect each other instead of children or citizens. The officer was most likely there.

    , “Our job is to report the facts”. Well it’s sure not protecting the children. Just themselves. Disgusting.

  5. How can the shooter entering the school

  6. every single time the police have this strange excuse and the officer just isn't there. So odd.

  7. Let the School Chief to answer. Let him answer why is dps answering the press. The chief should know where he was his own school resource officer.

  8. You can reach out to Dr Osaba on any kind of herbal medicine I was cured from herpes virus by Dr Osaba on YouTube with the help of his herbal remedies

  9. Police were just busy on the street writing speeding tickets to inocent drivers

  10. We now see police weapons are only on the ready for unarmed blacks, tangibles and reparations for foundational black Americans now

  11. Texas' stand your ground law. Literally, Texas police are standing on the ground without moving in to save the kids. Sad!

  12. Dude you have teachers risking their lives and officers waited 40 minutes to enter? Despicable

  13. It is time we fire the police from all schools. The police waited 45 minutes to engage the shooter even though all the police were at that school they waited until the shooting has stopped. It is time the American people employ combat X soldiers to protect our schools a combat veteran will not be afraid to engage the shooter police are in capable place are incompetent and police are scared they are a disgrace to the badge and a tarnished everything that uniform stands for they allow these children to be murdered because the police were too scared to go to school

  14. Big hats.Big guns. Big badges. Bigger cowards. Texas police,

  15. That cop is blatantly lying

  16. 40 min – 1 hr. And cops did nothing

  17. There needs to be an unbiased investigation. These people are out her playing games,cover ups, and politics.

  18. As a gun owner and a second amendment advocate I can confidently speak on behalf of all gun owners. We don’t care that kids are dead and we don’t care how many more will die. They are a sacrifice and us conservatives would sacrifice even our on children. Because guns are fun and the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

  19. just watched a vid in which a cop talks about the resource officer having been interviewed (cnn)

  20. LMFAO i can see a meme coming soon! How to be a Coward Cop Starter Pack!

  21. That's what happens when you have loose gun laws in low IQ Texas. They won't learn they will just buy more guns like idot's. Incompetence comes at a price. This is it. Rifles should only be used by our military, law enforcment and hunting (No exception of bringing them home) Only handguns should be allowed to the public and for EDC purposes.

  22. A prayer: jesus there's going to be a car accident then 12 mins latter there's going to be a shooting, could you come down here and stop this after your coffee break, AMEN.

  23. Who reported that there was a killer on the loose 12 mins before the attack????????????????????????
    What's your excuse????????????

  24. At the end of the day you failed 😞

  25. Flashback 2020. Dems and NBC are calling to defund the police + removing armed security from schools nationwide because “police are scaring kids”. 🤡🌎

  26. The police should take responsiblity about lately response.

  27. 1) We don't even know the door WAS unlocked. This story has changed twice already. Multiple witnesses, points of view. Hold for final decision. 2) If he didn't have a gun, they would be alive. If the cops had stopped him BEFORE he got to the school, they'd be alive. Locking the door to a school is the LAST thing we should be blaming. 3) Most of us grew up in a world where the school door was NEVER locked. I mean NEVER. It was a huge fire concern and kids and parents and visitors show up all day long. We've become an armed state where the victims are now being blamed for not being smart enough, strong enough, perfect enough to avoid being shot to death. Could be a dozen reasons the door would be unlocked. Lock might be busted. A worker may have propped it open while doing some construction. The ac may be inadequate and air flow was needed. A parent may have failed to pull it all the way closed after leaving. They may have been expecting someone and left it open for them. Maybe the killer had arranged to have it left that way. The possibilities are quite long. Immediately jumping to blaming the school personnel? You're looking to attack teachers? The victims who protected those kids, barackaded doors, and in three cases, died with them? How about we blame the professionals and lawmakers who actually have the responsibility, under the law and in society, a responsibility the raised their hands and swore to meet, rather than teachers, whose job it is to TEACH, not guard against crazed gunmen.
