  1. Ohh' & i live just 3 blocks frm the cahaba heights church shooting tht happen last month here in Birmingham, AL.. So its happened in my back yard too

  2. I got some ideas: there needs 2BA national federal law,,,made by the US justice department & federal lawmakers,,,tht will allow all law enforcement officers {nation wide} are now 100% able to engage in active shooters at will' instantly ( if they want to).. Meaning: they no longer need 2wait on back up or there superiors to give them the 0K to move in (each man is his own army)… & i think tht all law enforcement officers nation wide should have a 2yr college degree or credits equivalent too (even send professors 2the police precincts 4wkly classes) ,,,,they need 2B more educated' they must be.. Cause these shootings are now A wkly accurance.. (U can not stop 2things in life' so they nvr cross my mind 2try 2stop em & thts: drugz & gunz,,,,they will both flow like water till world endz),,,,, I do have more ideas too, just hollarrrrr…

  3. The kids will pay for the sins of the fathers, sounds familiar?? God knows why he does what he does man we ain't eternal we don't live forever this world belongs to Lucifer matter of fact this planet is the morning star the bible is talking about it's a planet that has feelings and a high consciousness that blinds all humanity with delusion, lies and evil governments that where giving the law of god for good but indeed did evil it's all written folks, god don't like ugly,

  4. #FireThemAll. What cowards! Just heartbreaking. Stop making excuses!

  5. Did you notice not once did these political Texas hacks say the word “GUN” once????
    Even if the cops has stormed in 7 minutes instead of 77, children would have still been murdered by a GUN.

  6. the system to get high pay for doing nothing until something happen, they will play "blame game"

  7. "… they were supposed to protect the innocents now lying in their graves…" The breakdowns and failures hardly exculpate the heavily armed and equipped "men" on the scene. Something is vastly wrong here beyond bad judgment.

  8. I am so sorry for the people of Uvalde. This press conference was a waste of time. They spent over 15 minutes introducing themselves and saying how bad the shooting at Uvalde was. They said to read the report, but yet they didn't really talk about what was in the report. They repeated themselves over and over. They gave no new information. I feel anger and frustration with this press conference. The parents and school want to KNOW the facts! Please stop saying how bad it was. Give the parents, the school, and the people the facts, the truth! Take REAL action to help stop this violence.

  9. How can I get a copy of that report?

  10. All the Police Officers who did not go in should be fired. Thank God for the Border Police officers who were brave and fearless.

  11. Translation: "It's nobody's fault just the system and is not all republicans in Texas running the system its everybody and this can happen everywhere. " so the buck has been successfully pass to no one therefore nothing will happen to anyone about this. The end

  12. So an opened door is a risk??
    Risk from a shooter carrying a GUN.
    Could it be that much risk to many kids if the gun is not part of the equation???

  13. Those officers would've reacted much differently if the shooter was black.

  14. All I heard was a bunch of excuses for cops not doing their job. It's sad that schools literally have to be like a fortress just to stay safe instead of fixing the problem outside the school so our kids can be safe. When I was going to school we didn't have this problem. All we were worried about was fire. The problem was outside the school, not inside. No matter how many policies in schools are locked doors are not going to fix the problem.

  15. Kids: “Please help us, there's a guy in here shooting!”
    Cops: “We need you to hold him off for 1 more hour until he run out of bullets.”

  16. oamenii aceștia trăiesc și gândesc în paradigma greșită a vieții ca valoare absolută. de aici panminciuna „împăratul e gol dar nimeni nu are curajul articulării expunerii”. răspunsurile sunt simple. o mare piedică, karma.

  17. Dear Legislator solution is gun control not that it easy to buy a gun then a beer. Prayer will not bring the kids back . Your job is not to pray that is our the church and place of God . Legislator and gun dealer and republicans voted in the government is not to pray is to do their job

  18. owning a gun is the same like drinking alcohol.. everyone agrees it dangerous,yet all of them using it..

  19. Remember God loves you♥️!
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏..
    He is coming back soon🥳……..

  20. Police officers preserves had Shields guns uns and body armor and whand let little girls pleading for their lives die what cowards Not all police are like this but these guys failed little girls how can you live with the shame , their spirits will haunt you to the day you die…..

  21. All this just shows us how broken, corrupt, incompetent our government is.

  22. They looked at the real issues instead of guns. Bullying, mental health, struggle of poverty, depression, anger, hatred, manipulation, jealousy, communication… Kids are getting worse. Adults are getting worse. Values, morals, and respect for others is dying.

  23. No one blames the killer
    Everyone blames the cops
    Texas laws allowed this massacre

  25. This guy need to shut up

  26. Just say it. You're going to do nothing.

  27. Was they afraid of the man, NO they were afraid of what's his gun can do. Many cops died that day. 👮‍♂️

  28. Worked in a district over a decade yet to meet a competent safety resource officer. School shootings haven't changed my mind about this. And I've never seen 1 time locked doors fences or SROs stop a school shooting it's a placebo like taking your shoes off at an airport and psychopaths often have genetic vulnerabilities for becoming psychopaths you're not bullied into buying and using a semi automatic…

  29. Has anybody said "Sorry"?

  30. Built for corruption tiny districts w police FARCES. A police force isn't 6 cops who essentially are SRO s…

  31. Their disgustingly trying to protect the city from getting sued. This is nothing about the truth. But about deflecting blame.
