Latest Uvalde Footage Shows ‘Lack Of Leadership And Lack Of Courage’ By Police, Cavanaugh Says
source
Uvalde Coward Force !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Texa$ Corruption‼️😡👎😡👎😡👎😡👎😡👎😡👎😡👎😡👎😡👎😡👎😡
Texas,law of parties,life sentences
Imagine a police officer preforming the job they signed up to do? How unthinkable? Because to some like the commenator below, they were well within their right :
Micheal Jewesson: Consider that the shooting was essentially over by the time the cops arrived at the classroom door. As such, isn't it reasonable to believe that your active shooter situation has become a barricaded shooter that may be holding hostages? Certainly the officers would have to weigh whether it would make sense to storm the room when there are possible hostages. If there had been children held hostage in those classrooms and the officers stormed the room resulting in the further death of children, there would have been outrage for that decision. It's a no-win situation for the cops.
the "priority of life scale" is not absolute. There has to be weighing of multiple things….(1) what is the chance of success of killing/neutralizing the shooter? Schools are designed to keep shooters out of the classroom, so once the shooter is in the classroom, it is reasonable to believe that people trying to get in would be unsuccessful absent a key. (2) How many cops will die trying to breach the classroom? Certainly cops are not cannon fodder.
We cannot expect cops to commit suicide for no reason (there was no assurance that prior to the procurement of the key that the room would have been successfully breached). How many cops are an acceptable sacrifice to breach that room (especially not knowing whether there is anyone alive in the classroom…these cops have families and children too)? 2 cops? 10 cops? 30? 100??? Would their bodies piling up at the door make the breaching of the classroom even more difficult? (3) Was there an active shooter or was it a hostage situation? If it was a hostage situation, storming the room would have resulted in children being collateral damage. Seems reasonable to believe that if the shooting has stopped (or is only intermittent) that you have a barricaded shooter with hostages. The cops in that hall were not informed that there were several people in that room that were alive (yes, there were communication failures). They had to make a reasonable guess as to what their situation was.
When will we just ban assault weapons and ammo for them ? Will it take a gun men going into private schools of the wealthy to move the needle ?
This shows the lack of seriousness the officers at school districts lack. It is pretty obvious this is the current situation in the majority of school districts across the nation as it is demonstrated by the same lack of leadership seen in the current and past similar situations.
Imagine that…a police officer lying !
Just total disbelief…..
The officers were not wounded. Shots through the schoolroom wall dusted them with sheet rock remnants.
Where was the good guy?
Police officers have families to that they need to go back too everyday.The real qestion is why war weapons are sold.
With out the invention of cameras none of the police behavior under fire would be seen, because even with the cameras they the police tell a completely different sequence of events like lie lie but now the public really see things aren't always as they are presented in reality he was point on if U can't commit to the job stop collecting the check find another occupation very simple Lives were lost because the police at the school could not swallow a nerve pill one armed young man with at least 25 to 40 offices at the scene for 77 minutes no one did nothing a disgrace
U say if they're NOT GONNA go in2 burning buildings as a firefighter DON'T b there claiming ur there 2 do job find another job … FIRE THEM GET RID OF THEM BRING IN OTHERS WHO R THERE 2 DO THE JOB NOT JUST WEAR AWESOME LOOKING UNIFORM BADGE N GUN THEY DIDNT ND EGOS THEY ND LIFE SAVERS WHICH IS WHAT THEY PLEGDED THEY WOULD B
No matter how much training you have, it wont do a coward any good!

The man with two brains
And school police was not there.
Purposely encouraging, assisting in the commission of, or failing to attempt to reasonable stop the occurrence of a crime that you have a legal duty to prevent or can be sentenced to life ,law of parties
Jim Cavanaugh is right on, the first six responding officers failed to do their job….command or otherwise. Heartbroken for beautiful lifes lost 😡
Just because you put on a badge and learn how to fire a gun, doesn't mean you're meant to protect and serve.
I'm sure that the police response could and should have been better. However, in theese situations the police are working with a lot of confusion and incomplete information. What is far more inexcusable is the fact that the shooter was able to get these weapons in the first place. We should be directing most of our outrage at the NRA and the conservative politicians flooding our streets with guns.
Blue Lives Matter……..🐔🐔🐔🐔🐓FOH! Decepticons RETREAT RETREAT!
They have plenty of courage when it comes to an unarmed black person. SMMFH!

Excellent speaker
The killer was dead before noon from self inflicted. Cowards sat around hanging out like it was a convention for 50+ minutes after the killer was dead listening to babies cry for help and it didn't phase a single one.
Train harder ? Nearly all of those guys were so overweight they should be ashamed to put on a uniform. Goes to show that the only thing they excelled at was taking out doughnuts instead of active shooters. The biggest officers were hiding and holding on to each other trembling with fear around the corner. Their houses need to be covered with white feathers – the symbol of cowardice.
Soft cowardly men are everywhere these days.
UVALDE COPS ARE ALL COWARDS. THEY HAD GUNS BODY ARMOR YET FIRST SOUND OF GUNFIRE THEY RUN AWAY. COWARDICE HAS NO
PLACE IN THE POLICE SERVICE
Cowards
Is media dumb? It is cowardice – plain and simple.
We don't need cowards as police officers
Instead of more police training, how about more physical training. I see a bunch of fat cops.
Move on .Only thing left is what will be done about it .The families could use a break .These families paid the ultimate price for lack of courage .Is there anyone who will be held accountable ?
Now that the video is out, these guys can’t even spin it anymore.
I don't get it
A handful of Oxford Police in Michigan handled their job perfectly in the Oxford school shooting recently.
90 tough Texas cops armed and organized didn't get anything done.
The cowardice and lack of leadership or duty seemed to compound.
Face it the cops were cowards plain and simple don't sugar coat it don't lie don't change it they were plain cowards all of them the first ones that arrived to the last ones that arrived cowards they're a disease that you need to get rid of and don't hire them any other place ever they are just playing cowards cowards cowards
If I were the citizens of Uvalde, I would move far away. The officers there will not protect you, bottom line.
Brave police should also carry mass wound hemorrhage kits in backpacks as their kit.
What kind of turns my stomach is the fact that these officers that were there in the first minutes and I'm not talking about the ones that got repelled back at least they try to get in there I'm talking about all the other ones that were inside the school and outside it just turns my stomach that they still have a position that they're still getting paid and it's astonishing to hear that they might not get any kind of punishment or anything like it for their lack of duty
His point about the firefighters was spot on. Remember during 9/11 how all the firefighters rushed into the towers, knowing that they were probably going to die, and yet they went anyway, no hesitation. 343 firefighters gave their lives to serve their community that day. Think about that number, and then think about what happened in Uvalde.
Good guys with gun?!!! Jail those #UvaldeCowardCops!!!
Lack of administration policies to protect corporations and politicians only, not the people and children
Training can't fix stupid.
I hate to bring up race but if dude would've been black he would've never made it in the bldg at the least at the most shot dead instantly. Poor children were sitting ducks . Those officers need to be fired and tthe chief period
COPS? MORE LIKE A BUNCH OF COWARDS!
There is no trust in Uvalde anymore – each of those officers need to resign and Fresh Officers will need to be brought in – this community will not heal and trust the current "officers" after this footage
