  1. The police are not here to help you they only help the politicians.

  2. Pete reminds me of Mr Hanky. Howdy Ho folks

  3. That Fat Useless Piece of Deadwood Schould Have Been Removed and Barred From Public Office , the Mayor and Governor Are All In On It All Crooks Phony Liars

  4. That police chief looks like he needs a 5150 it's unprofessional and unauthorized asf. Shows why kids have no trust or respect.

  5. Yeah everything is not right about this, they may even try to pull a cover up..

  6. He needs to had over his cellphone records … probably backed by Soros !
    The truth will be revealed!

  7. What a piece of weak saucy sh!t of a chief!!

  8. Politics, patsies and all issues put to the side. There's a strange feeling that those kids deaths will not be in vain. There's a lesson to learn from this.😔

  9. He's not the uvalde police chief. He's the guy in charge of the 5 school cops. He shouldn't have been in charge of a tactical action like that to start with. What makes sense to me is if he wasn't in charge of that police action, the d.p.s. was. And they are making him the patsy for their mistakes. Think about it. He hasn't been making any statements, highway patrol and rangers have. And the changing narrative is coming from them. Everytime. This would explain why he is still getting accepted on the city council and nobody is pushing him to resign or why he doesn't seam to actually feel any remorse for such a huge loss of life on his watch. I bet he is getting forced or bribed to go along with it til it blows over. Probably why he says he speaks to d.p.s. everyday and they say he hasn't. I bet he is gonna be made to look worse than he ever thought he would. I dunno. But to me, this theory makes alot of sense as to why he is acting like he is. He is taking the fall whether he realizes it or not.

  10. A very big appreciation to Dr Osaba on YouTube for helping me to cure my HIV with his natural herbs medication.may God continue to bless your good work Dr Osaba

  11. Pat on the shoulder and we got everything under control. Reassuring

  12. Dude can’t lead a team so lay that bum off

  13. IMAGINE THAT. ANOTHER CORUPT POLICE CHIEF.

  14. CNN and NBC are corruption, fake media!!!! Journalism died a long ago!!! Bunch of liars!!! Save the children!!!!

  15. more weaponized incompetence and purposeful neglect from our police force. its discusting to see local governments continuing to cover things up and sweep dead children under the rug.

  16. Theyve lied about everything else why would we believe them here

  17. 2A "Shall not be infringed," but corporate profit on guns and ammo is an infringement. The entire 2A industry in USA must be restricted to non-profit status such that their profits stop infringing our 2A right to bear arms.

  18. Maybe, and I'm just spitballin' here, maybe he's a liar

  19. HIS PENSION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR CHILDREN.

    WTF is it going to take you idiots to understand? Killing 40? Blowing up the entire school? The police are your enemy. You don't know it now? It's all but over.

  20. I feel very sorry for all the familys who are suffering in pain, but no one should be blaming anyone except the shooter for this tragety. Bad people do bad things and he died also. Please try to control the hateful anger for the police people that tried to help during this event.

  21. True leaders always walk away from a challenge. It's true. Look at our president.

  22. —What did the Smith Mundt modernization act of 2012 do?
    —What was Operation Mockingbird?
    —What was Operation Northwoods?

  23. If CNN and all you fake media is so happy to push this corruption. The FBI AND THE CIA WORKING WITH THE DEEP STATE!! YOUR CHILD WAS MURDERED OVER POLITICS!!

  24. COWARDS
    Does he dispute that?

    Shame and disdain unto the Cowards of Uvalde, Texas

  25. He's already proven himself a liar and a coward. He should be fired or quit if he had any morality at all.

  26. Why does he stand? He's enjoying his pay raise and promotion

  27. This dude needs to be thrown in jail…

  28. This guy isn’t fired yet?

  29. SCAMDEMIC sheeple believe in NWO media and government Rothschild owns you

  30. I’d respect these guys if they said we were scared and we ph@cked up with all of them crying non stop and begging the public to forgive!!! But like I raised my kids if you mess up and tell Daddy the truth I can’t help but forgive and move on! But when you LIE and do cover ups! I feel your trying to play me like I’m a fool!!!!

  31. In a world without the 2A the only non military with guns would be criminals and cops. The former choose their time and the latter (if they even come in time) may not have the competence or resolve to do their duty.

  32. he may have been an affirmative action hire

  33. A police officer on my local NETWORK (and I’ll be fair and not name the department) made a curious statement today that I think is indicative of the overall problem with police. He said “I’m not really 100% caught up on what happened, not really sure of all the details. I’ll tell you right now law enforcement isn’t to blame. Anyone who thinks they are, wait till then need to dial 911 and nothing happens, then they will see police different”.
    Ummm, but they did dial 911 in Uvalde, over 100 people. Oddly enough “officer”….NOTHING HAPPENED. He’s not 100% sure of the facts, by his own admission and he’s not 100% clear on the details, by his own admission. Despite that lack of facts and details, he’s already concluded that police officers couldn’t possibly be responsible for anything bad…….and that universal attitude leads to the slaughter of unarmed civilians by shooting, strangulation and beating. That Attitude stays in effect even after it’s clear that the biggest threat the shooter in Uvalde faced was the police or angry parents engaging him…….a threat he didn’t face because police held parents back with threats, giving the shooter armed security ring around the school and 77 minutes to do what he wanted. How many kids who could have been saved do you imagine bled out because a Fat Slob, Sack of meat in a badge Uvalde calls a chief took the approach “We will always fight crime !!! Unless we can get hurt”

  34. A snake comes out of his hole! I knew he couldn't hide for long. He owes everyone an explanation most likely in court.

  35. I wish they would stop calling him the Uvalde Police Chief, he is/was the Uvalde SCHOOL DISTRICT'S police chief.

  36. Someone needs to question the police chief and his ties to the democrat party. Joey needed a tragedy for his gun confiscation ambitions, and he needed cooperation to make it happen. There is no level of treason and killings that a democrat won't do to acquire power. But old fascist Joe will again blame Putin.

  37. cowards with guns… you want me to give up my guns when police are like this .. screw you and the media

  38. So many changing stories

  39. But have you been COMMUNICATING?

  40. Every cop there is a fking coward!
