  1. Unforgivable how they stood by listening and almost idling not one had the courage and bravery to rush towards those poor innocent children. They should be stripped of their badge. Brave and strong my ..%**

  2. Why? this is the only way to see what really happened

  3. What’s with the green screen?

  4. I understand their frustration, but it's better it got leaked. The police would have probably edited and cut out everything that incriminates them or shows them being completely inept.

  5. The Father's said that they are being told nothing, and almost everything put out so far is lies. Why would they not want the truth out? I understand the no sound, turn the volume off while watching if you choose to. WE NEED THE TRUTH! And the sound should all be there for those to verify what the COWARD cops heard, AND STILL DID NOTHING. Revelations 21:8

  6. Wow, fake bot comments and tearless parents. Along with them knowing that people will demand to see footage eventually But this is a legitimate attempt to try to make a social norm of not viewing video like that Normal from here on out so they don’t have to worry about being exposed through having yo prove anything

  7. Brad ur nothing but a gold diger u never saw my gran son like a son u need to stop lieing u an ur wife niki cross i have heald my pease cuz of our angel respecting his memorial but enough is enough if u loved my angel why did yall have his coffen crushed in stead of giving it to my son when yall new my son we where bringing my grandson home to his home town where my Uziyah wanted to b with his father tell me where is ur love for our angel an for u an niki acting like u care pls. But there is a God. An he sees how evil hearts yall have ..but God is Good my Son bought my uzi a beautiful coffen unforchantly under the sad sercomstanes for the big funral my son had our baby we brought him home to san angelo tx where our angel wanted to b 🙏

  8. First an formost brad cross is not Uziyah fathere thas a lie ..im Uziyah granma an my son sergio is Uziyah father i dont know why ppl lie about something like this. It breaks by heart how my son is morning the death of our angel my sons son uzi an on top of this brad is lieing on midia. Jesus help us

  9. Their lawyers and politicians are putting words into their mouths. Trying to shift blame from the cops to the media is also what the POLITICIANS in Texas are doing. That in itself should make this effort to redirect the families' anger toward the media is shady. And there are crooked "anti-cop" lawyers out there, too who represent families who lose loved ones to police violence or, in this case, criminal police inaction..
    The real issue is the inaction of the cops. Yes, it was upsetting to release it early and with (some of the sound, the worst was edited out), but whoever it was wanted the truth to get out and make it harder for the police to get away with it. The families didn't have to see it. A lawyer is telling them what to say so they can sue the newspaper for its money as well. The powers that be would like this all to be covered up, behind closed doors, and for no rogue actors threatening unsatisfactory monetary settlement by leaking information like the school surveillance video. Criminal acts by the police will only occur again, and more people will die, if the truth isn't allowed to fully come out.

  10. The parents should be glad that the whole world saw the video cause now we know what really happen n how bad the Police didn’t do there JOB cause if it wouldn’t of been showed they would of probably erase parts and hide things that really happen n the parents wouldn’t know the truth now they’ll have evidence to get Justice

  11. Thank God my grandchildren are safe across the ocean.

  12. Prison time for derelict of duty. Child endangerment resulting in death. Failure to protect.

  13. Wonder were any uvalde children white?

  14. Don't fire the coward cops. Put them in prison.

  15. Let's push an agenda, stand by and let children be murdered to get more gun control.

  16. 1 officers had wife and 1 officers daughter was in class room the one on phone wife was telling him she was shot

  17. These family just want MONEY..

  18. They want accountability and don't even realize that releasing this video to the public is the best chance that they will get it for the failures of law enforcement that day.

  19. Where can I find the one with audio?

  20. I have a hard time comprehending why parents are upset about the video being released. They are more interested in protecting the mayor and police chief than finding out what happened to their babies and preventing it from happening again.

  21. Every one of these victims’ parents/guardians should’ve been contacted and given the opportunity to view the video footage in it’s entirety BEFORE releasing it to the public—period. I’d even go as far as their permission having to be granted before releasing it. The fact that they all watched it in tandem with the public is a complete display of DISRESPECT…in my opinion.

  22. I wish these family members would focus on more on the fact that these officers were cowards versus it being released to the public first the public needed to see this because these are the same people protecting those that they were sworn and taking the oath to protect and they didn't
