  1. This is what happens when you hire a bunch of wimpy, scared cops.
    Fear makes a bad cop!

  2. Guess Texas is all talk. Snowballs

  3. They had the fkn riot shields why didn't they go in!? And they used the riot shields wrong when they were hiding in that corner outside the room. What's the use in having a riot shield if half your body or your knee is exposed to gun fire!? What a rag tag group of officers. They need to be retrained and hardened up

  4. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

  5. A whole police department full of cowards

  6. People just don’t care like they used to

  7. So your cops are useless we kinda knew that

  8. And the manifesto is STILL being concealed by the failBI
    It's been leaked, thankfully.
    It's an interesting read.

  9. Shame shame shame shame on every single police officer that morning

  10. Because law enforcement have no duty to protect any citizens!

  11. This is nothing but a DOJ “see we have a purpose” ploy

  12. We all knew this already

  13. DOJ itself is a failure. We don't need this clown to tell us, we all saw the videos.

  14. And you’re letting millions millions of undocumented illegal aliens into this country!!! Pay your price!!!

  15. Lack of leadership…? What ever happened to all the initiatives and "gunho"attitudes the Texas polices had whenever shooting unarmed, nonviolent complying people or bunches of cops surrounding one person holding a camera, and arresting distressed parents trying to rescue their children?

  16. The DOJ had to fix this mess that the local police created. He had to do things by law to ensure those accountable had no loop holes. What happened here was the worst case of police muck up.

  17. So many cops with guns and body armor and they couldn't stop one guy with a machine gun. This is why we need gun control.

  18. If it were a school of little white boys and girls, they would have stopped him a long time ago.

  19. The one officer whose wife or child was in the school was disarmed and kept from entering the classroom. After Columbine most if not all Police departments changed their SOPs and training, so that officers enter the building where the active shooter is asap.

  20. That’s because the kids are all brown

  21. And let’s not forget that Uvalde PD arrested parents for actually wanting to save their own children while they stood down…

  22. Remember guys, this is the state with no gun laws.
    What state has more school shooting deaths in the last 20 years?

    "gUn CoNtRoL doesn't work"
