  1. He said: a lot of going on. He said: they need backups, specialty equipment, body armor…. At that very situation: kids need police officers to make entry immediately.

  2. If your not going to put your life on the line to save others then don't be a police officer

  3. Texas Police are cowards

  4. How they investigate yellow Police? Absolute disgraceful police!

  5. They where hired to serve and protect instead they stood and watched.

  6. This man is a coward and a traitor like the rat officers he works with, they serve the State not the people ACAB

  7. What pisses me off the most? The cowboy costumes and those poser pussies with those silly cowboy hats. Take those clown hats off and show some respect you worthless pos.

  8. Again Why do these morons wear cowboy hats and boots? It’s not Halloween. Grow up.
    Take off your costumes and do your job to protect people, specially kids.
    Morons walk around outside hearing shots and kids screaming. How can they do that. If my kid is inside calling my name for help, I would poke this cowboy sheriff eye balls and run inside to save my offspring.

  9. FUCKING COWARDS … what a thick face coming in front of camera and defending himself …

  10. That's why I permanently moved to the middle east in Dubai, safest place on earth, in 12 hours in America has more shooting than 50 years in UAE. Let that sink in for a second,

  11. The TRUTH laid bare, when there is the prospect of RETURN FIRE, coward cops lay low, but will UNLOAD on an UNARMED INNCONCENT CITIZEN in the blink of an eye.. Coward cops REFUSE to go inside HERE, and did the same thing in the Florida school shooting. IMAGINE THAT! But had no problem shooting Charles Kinsey as he lay on the ground with his EMPTY hands in the air in BROAD DAYLIGHT. Or Jordan Edwards as he sat in the passenger seat of a car DRIVING AWAY. Time and time again this band of COWARDS have opened fire on UNARMED citizens, but shrink away when an ARMED ACTUAL THREAT is afoot

  12. Absolutely disgusting, cowards!

  13. Shame of the cops heroes which responds there they can do it a lot but they don't do nothing they look like heroes on the News conference or when they write spiding ticket

  14. Should take off your cowboy hat and and wear a “coward” hat instead you piece of excrement. Non of you had the cojones to go in there and on top of that you stopped everyone who could have done your job better than any of you. Took BP and CBP to do your job, all of you are a shame to the uniform, Texas and this entire country. You are no better than the coward politicians who used this tragedy to try and score a few points with their low IQ base.

  15. Every so called cop there should be charged with criminally negligent homicide. This is a blatant attempt to justify the unjustifiable. If they are so scared of one 18 year old with a simple rifle, they are in the wrong job. Why is there no cop with the balls to say they all fucked up? Despicable. Typical, too. Arrest the parents wanting to go in unarmed. What a total shower of despicable fuckups. I’m retired military LE, 6 years deputy sheriff, I have a right to say this. Any cop there who stood around listening to the gunfire of children being killed should go now and hang themselves. Don’t disgrace a weapon by shooting your worthless self.

  16. I don't know what's happened to police officers over the last few decades. Cops used to be brave. Now they're all cowards. When I grew up, the worst thing that could happen was for an unarmed civilian to be shot. Now it appears the worst thing that could happen is for a police officer to be shot. Cop's main priority has become protecting other cops above all else. If a civilian gets shot, oh well, it was an accident. Thoughts and Prayers. Have you noticed that you no longer see "To Protect and Serve" on the side of police cars? That's because they don''t protect and serve anymore.

  17. A negotiation where one party doesn’t respond isn’t a negotiation…it’s shouting into the ether.

  18. My dad the ‘hero’

  19. I suspect the reason they didn’t do their jobs was pure selfishness and to have zero risk of being shot. Cowards.

  20. Texas cowboys got no cojones

  21. They don't deserve to wear cowboy hats.

  22. Of course, let's blame the police. Let's just lose sight about who actually killed the kids. America is pathetic. Stop the guns. Australians see your country as sad. How can the gun lobby be more powerful than your president?

  23. They don't deserve to say a word. They literally let children die! Heartbreaking to the families and our entire country!

  24. Worst speech in history. Fire them all!

  25. These police officers are bunch stupid idiots and more worry about saving there asses than those poor children and teachers. The parents were the ones who had courage to go inside the school to try save poor children and teachers. May these poor children and teachers killed rest in peace and I feel sorry for parents and teachers family members.

  26. I wonder how many kids were still alive that could have been saved, while these cowards were setting up tape around the school and figuring out what to do next. But these super hero cowards will go to the end of this earth to chase you down and give you a speeding ticket, I wonder how many kids were still breathing for an hour that could have been saved.I wonder how many parking, speeding,and no singling tickets the super cowards have issued since that terrible day.

  27. Oh be quiet just making excuses how miserably. you failed…
