He doesn't answer questions.
You know that whole public servant thing. They just don't do that in Texas. 🐔💩🤡
TAKE YOUR KIDS OUTTA SCHOOL, WE GOT BETTER PLANS FOR THEM, BETTER EDUCATION
HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DEATHS, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TOO, THEY ARE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILDREN WHILE THEY ARE AT SCHOOL, 100% LIABILITY,
The superintendent needs to protect the children and teachers, not the police. The school system and police are liable for what happened morally and financially. Parents will sue.
Sooooo many adult cowards/bullies in America yet we wonder why the children are unable to practice conflict resolution!!💔🇺🇲💔🇺🇲💔🇺🇲
The only way you will ever get the truth out of these criminals is to put them in prison for not protecting these poor kids and teachers along with the family's suffering that had to be so disappointing to them to know any body with a gun outside that building could have saved alot of them people waiting on a key from the janitor while there getting executed some body needs to be held accountable for this clear derilic of duty you don't just need a new school you better think about who your voting for that whole staff and administration needs to be shown the door like yesterday
What type of dirt does Arredondo have on the mayor and school superintendant that they are giving him a pass? It must be very bad.
Common sense equip every politician and staff with guns to deter and defend the Capital from bad guys. Leaders should lead by example. Simple!
School safety? Get some guard dogs, they're not racist, affordable, have courage and they don't have to wait.
Great school these poor children attended. Fire this jackaxx now.
Live in Texas and this is your life!!
Why does he still have a job? Why do other officials still have a job? He shouldn’t have been sworn into the City Council because he is probably working with the Mayor and other to either cover their butts, and/or they are privy to information that may be related to an investigation or lawsuits. It is unbelievable that is still in a leadership role!
Give the taxpayers the money back. These politicians and cops are just glorified welfare recipients

How can u not answer questions .There is something terribly wrong here! They failed those children and the teachers and the parent's for sure.
Uvalde where unlike the police, the children are not cringing cowards.
When things don't go there way they want to erase it CRT and so many other issues.
Can the superintendent not answer questions about the killings because it is still under investigation?
First, I don’t care who was in charge.
Second, THE SCHOOL HAD ITS OWN POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ITS LEADER DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS IN CHARGE?????
Third, are you fkng KIDDING???
4th, 60? SIXTY? 60???????
5, y’all know he chose last night to break silence cus he knew focus would be on 1/6 hearing so he might be a little more low key, right? Everybody gets that, right?
Thanks, Good Guys With A Gun
Trash
Weak leadership no balla no backbone no courage
This smells. Demolishing the school seems like a way to destroy evidence.
Vote them out!!!
If they really cared about children and understood security measures, they would arm teachers and remove that insane gun-free zone law that has been aiding mass murderers to rack up a high body count for decades.
So the school will be demolished like the Sandee H school?
The chief and superintendent don't even have the decency to step down. Obviously they have something to hide.
According to Republicans mass shooting are caused by:
1. Over use of cell phones.
2. The decline of the family.
3. Social Media
4. The decline of Religion.
5. Not enough prayer by leaders.
6. Violent video games
7. Mental illness
8. Fatherlessness
9. Drug use
10. Taking God's name in vain.
11. Prayers being eliminated in schools.
12. Not enough people praying in public.
13. Not enough locked doors
14. Not saying the Pledge of Allegiance enough.
15. Too much crime on T.V. – according to Ted Cruz
16. The "Gun Free Zone Act.- according to MTG
17. Not enough armed people around schools – MTG
18. Not enough metal detectors
19. Not enough good guys with guns-(there were 19 cops at Uvalde)
Yet no mention of stricter gun laws at all.
According to the GOP& NRA everything else causes mass shooting except guns!
Saw another video. That woman with the Karen hairdo was so catty.
Apologist
the audacity and brazen shamelessness of police protecting the school superintendent just nauseating
Why do these people in office feel like they don't need to answer questions?
Those new laws wont stop a mass shooting
HOW DID THIS 18 YEAR OLD GET THE MONEY FOR THESE GUNS????????????????????????????
Can they go after the gunman's family? That psycho is responsible as well.
This WAS A SET UP!!! CANT YOU SEE????????????????????????????????!!!!
He is a coward…AND HE KNOWS IT!!!!!
AND A KING IS BORN BELOW THE HOME BROWN ILLUMINATING ELIMINATING EACH OTHER CHASING A BOX OF FOOLS GOLD MARVEL GAZE CHEATERS AND FOOLS ILLUMINATING BLAZING ELIMINATING EACH OTHER SMELL THE ROSES
T he is guy is a joke!! He owes parents answer to questions being asked of him instead he is being super sneaky what a bunch of bs. Those poor parents and the children who witnessed the dead students and teachers there should be responsible answer's to everyone asking questions. I hope there is a class action law suit against the law enforcement officers who did nothing and then runs away and doesn't have any involvement with the investigation
Why are they covering g for the police the police were at fault why did they wait 1 hour before going n they could hsve saved those kids lives there are no excuses
Why dont they question the parents, grandparents, ex-friends, ppl who knew him…cant believe everyone turned a blind eye?! Shot ppl with a BB gun, picked fights scarred his own face, killed animals ?? wth
Small town, small minds. Me thinks these are political cronies covering for each other. That means there is more to this story than simple incompetence.
They all are ignoring questions cuz they failled those children n teachers. Police chief, superintendent, all of them are guilty n afraid they going to be let go. Bunch of cowards
From the superintendent down to the police chief down to all the police officers that were there everyone needs to be fired and held accountable for their cowardly actions what's going on in uvalde I cannot understand there should be protests I know they're grieving but these people are still there in charge and taking no responsibility they're nothing but cowards
The vote included all but 2 democrats and 5 republicans? Or is she trying to say that only 5 republicans voted for it? Journalism is a dead art for sure.
His silence and that of the so-called police chief is disgusting. These men need to be held accountable for their disastrous inaction on that awful day. I feel so badly for the poor parents.
He can't comment on the police department, or most anything else that deals with this case,…because the Department of Justice has just open a case against that police department.
Now,…Representative Garland will answer all questions!
