At least five Texas Department of Public Safety officers are now under investigation following a probe into the inaction of law enforcement during the deadly mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this year. NBC News’ Antonia Hylton explains what to expect from the investigation and whether parents think the department is providing enough accountability.

Cops are brave when someone is face down I'm the dirt wearing handcuffs
#BackTheBlue 🏈Arm Chair Quarterbacks? 🚙Back Seat Drivers? 🎮Play Station Warriors? 🕹 😳THE AUDACITY! 🤯THE DISRESPECT! 😨THE BLATANT RACISM! 😱THE IGNORANCE! God bless these 👮🏽BRAVE, HEROIC LATINO PEACE OFFICERS👮🏼who followed 📚OFFICIAL PROTOCOL 📖 which says, “Do not . . . RUSH IN RECKLESSLY . . . or . . . . . . PHYSICALLY ENGAGE . . . because you might . . . EXACERBATE . . . the situation.” In other words, 🔥do not bust into a classroom full of kids, like a RAMBO WANNABE , because you could cause even more damage! Y'all know absolutely NOTHING about SWAT TEAM TACTICAL PROCEDURES.
And they have the nerve to harass that 1 mom who went inside to save her kids.
With pay?? Great z@@!
Mexicans doesn't like Americans
🇲🇽🇺🇸👮🏼♀🚔God Bless the BRAVE, HEROIC MEXICAN-AMERICAN POLICE OFFICERS WHO ENTERED THE BUILDING WHILE THE GUNMAN WAS STILL ALIVE! 3 OFFICERS WERE INJURED! ONE OFFICER HAD A BULLET GRAZE HIS HEAD! STILL, THEY STOOD AND KEPT GUARD IN THE HALLWAY! INCHES FROM A SEMI-AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLE CAPABLE OF PULVERIZING CONCRETE! Do you really thing the gunman stayed in CLASSROOMS 111 and 112 out of the goodness of his heart? Why did he not move on to CLASSROOMS 110, 109, 108, ETC. THE BRAVE MEXICAN-AMERICAN POLICE OFFICERS WERE STANDING THERE IN THE HALLWAY WITH THEIR GUNS DRAWN AND HE KNEW IT! 650+ STUDENTS, TEACHERS and STUDENTS WERE SAVED THANKS TO THESE BRAVE MEXICAN-AMERICAN MEN! If they don't get medals for their BRAVERY, IT IS BECAUSE AMERICA IS RACIST! 🇲🇽🇺🇸
OFF TOPIC: 👱🏽♀That chick's hair looks awful! "A messy bun" is what you do when you're going to the laundromat, not reporting the NATIONAL NEWS! 🎤TALK ABOUT UNPROFESSIONAL!
The Officers should have been fired for their cowardas act, failing to carry out their oath, to serve and protect. The chief should have been changed Criminally with neglect of duty.
Good. They should all be fired. Disgraceful behavior by these cops.
nice, with pay.
So the government wants us to give up our guns, so people like this can protect us…. The only way to have protection is to protect yourself
They all should be fire …. All of them 🤬🤬🤬
This time.. those "COPS" were actually and truly scared and stood around and waited for permission…all them officers…you know what they are…even arrested a mom who going in to get their kids ..yes that did happen
What Republicans seem to have failed to mention about their, "Good guy with a gun" theory, is that they also need to have some balls. I guess Texas lawmen weren't issued those.
Why doesn't uvalde just Lynch them
The entire department should be closed and everyone involved banned from public office. Any funds going to that department should be diverted to pay for the funerals and the years of therapy the bereaved are owed. Almost TWO companies worth of armed officers were at that school and they didn't follow their own doctrine to stop the shooter. They're beyond useless.
I Am So Sad, For All These Precious Families,,,, 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💔
Praying For All, ✝️ Louisiana ☝️☝️🙏🏽
Joke of a investigation in a kangaroo court!
#ENDQUALIFIEDIMMUNITY
Solution: Governor O'Rourke!!
inaction is as bad as fanaticism, they are bookends. This is such a ridiculous parody of a response. name them and shame them. they were collecting the paycheck and got chicken, gobble gobble.
All those tough guys and apparently between them not a pair.
Name them and shame them. This is not some ideological knot, CHILDREN DIED. You cannot explain or reason that away. It's absolutely tragic.
Suspended with pay?
we all know this "investigation" is just a crock
DPS has lied about this shooting so much you don't know what to believe. This case needs to be handed over to the FBI for a completely independent investigation. They lied and said they had no knowledge of the potential failing of the radio system that was made worse when DPS and Governor Abbott sending thousands of DPS Troops to that area.
Texas trash.
Only 5?! All 400+ should be investigated!
Well that's good they gave them a few days vacation to think of how cowards they are
I hope it's the FEDS investigating them! All should be fired and have murder charges brought on them!
The state of Texas is hoping people will just forget about this. Paid vacations always work for dicslepene.
The fact that parents are willing to send their CRYING CHILDREN back into that school says something sinister…but nobody's addressing it. These are developing humans, not grown men fighting wars and multiple tours of duty…
I hope they have identified the top ranking officers on the scene and their accountability is proportional to the amount of time they did nothing.
Worst Police force in the Country!
Don't vote for Republicans
