  1. It all seems too convenient

  2. What a bunch of crap.
    We already know better.

  3. So every single officer is on a different frequency down there ? And every officer has their own personal channel ? ….. 🤔 That makes no sense whatsoever ! Therefore , I don't believe a word he said was true . There's connections in this situation somewhere , and all the others….. TRUST NO ONE !

  4. The radio works both ways, was he asking for information? I call BS

  5. Blame dispatch…how convenient

  6. From the very inception of this tragedy Texas Dept. of Public Safety, Uvalde Police Dept. and the Uvalde School District Police, a division of the Uvalde PD have disseminated one false narrative after another for the obviously corrupt purpose of evading accountability for the multitude of malefeasance and misfeasance which cost the lives of 19 children and 2 teachers.

    The initial excuse given for law enforcement not breaching the classroom in which the active shooter was killing children was there was a barricaded suspect.

    But the Incident Commander NEVER spoke to the active shooter our established communication with him. Law enforcement policy requires the establishment of communication with a suspect BEFORE he can be classified as a barricaded suspect.

    Also, if any offense gunfire from the suspect is directed against law enforcement or hostages full breach is REQUIRED to be immediately initiated to save lives.

    It is also long standing law enforcement policy any communication from ANYONE in close proximity to the suspect or the suspect is REQUIRED to be immediately relayed to the Incident Commander.

    This statement and the comments made by the Uvalde PD the Incident Commander was unaware hostages were making 911 calls and these call were inexplicably NOT relayed to Uvalde School District Police Chief is patently unbelievable.

  7. Oh look another day another lie. Excuses , excuses

  8. System error? Yeah sure it was. The ultimate cover-up for the cowardly cops.

  9. "And if you vote for me I promise to make change to protect our children. And you'll all get 40 acres and a mule."

  10. Families are seeking legal representation, Badly needed!
    Thank you Koskoff team (Sandy Hook incident) for stepping up. Justice will be served.

  11. Are you freaking kidding me?

  12. the chief didn't have his radio. if only there were other forms of communication. maybe one day other officers could have radios not just the chief. maybe they can invent portable phone devices that reach people. if they can't answer maybe they can invent portable telegraph like devices where you can be sent a message, on your wristwatch even?!

    one day we'll have communication.

  13. Here’s plain as day! Pointing fingers 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼blame is not helpful at all… common sense needs to be priority now…. Guns guns & assault guns has no business on just ANYONE period. Gun is a big responsibility..

  14. Fact.
    19 "good guys" 🥴 with guns were waiting outside that classroom for over an hour.

  15. 21 lives lost is not an Error! It is a travesty. Absolutely abhorrent behavior by officials. Heads need to roll and the whole school needs to sue them all for craven cowardice

  16. So it's someone else's fault, the community let's blame them.

  17. Mysteriously Disappearing recordings
    Another lie. From a obviously practiced church liar.

  18. Is this clown up for reelection this year?

  19. This guy is a walking talking clown.

  20. This department must be closed down.

  21. Texas Strong & Texas Cowards

  22. TRUMP STRONG !! like ManlyMan Pootin & Talibans & Russian Army & Uvalde Hero Cops

  23. This is a bullsh*t lie. Anything to protect the myth that the pigs aren't to blame for the delay.

  24. I know the media is doing all they can to ensure everyone this wasn't some sort of "false flag," but I have to tell you, it is very bizarre how everything worked out in order to see that the assailant was successful. Columbine (Clinton) Sandy Hook (Obama) Uvalde (Biden) These things sure do get back when a democrat is in office.

  25. More nonsense excuses!!!

  26. To believe that they couldn’t patch 911 calls through to any police on scene is rubbish. Part of their training is to do with comms and who is the commander at any given time. They knew the kids were still alive. To suggest they didn’t is lies. Has this man been got at? Police not knowing how to communicate with each other being an “Absence of leadership” is crap.

  27. These excuses make me ill, the simple fact was there was law enforcement on the scene and they did not do their jobs. They are Cowards, they have to stop passing the buck. I don't know how these officers can look themselves in the mirror each morning.

  28. So Roland Gutierrez just learned about PSAPs or Public Safety Answering Points about 911 Call routing. He needs to learn more and close his mouth until he does. 911 is an emergency call routing system for Police Fire Ambulance. It's up to those three destinations to route calls further, if needed. School Police is NOT City Police or SWAT. The calls were properly routed. What school police chief Arredondo did prior to the event about advertising his "implied readiness" was simply to let taxpayers know where their dollars went to win public confidence. What school police chief Arredondo did during the event showed that he was powerless. Arredondo wasn't nearly as empowered as he led his community to believe. Those who hired him simply had his their own reputations on their minds, but knew a School Police Chief was quite powerless to act in an emergency.
