  1. Greg Abbott is the ultimate IDIOT !!!!!

  2. Ya think? This is how STUPID Texas Law Enforcement is! If the subject isn't dead or under arrest they're ALWAYS A THREAT WTF??????

  3. I have family in Uvalde damn Clowns with their bacero hats, pressed uniforms. . Afraid to get blood on them . COWARDS !!!!! Getva different job. !!!

  4. Don't blame the teacher you are stupid maybe your child is next

  5. The police was waiting for the good guys with the gun thay all speak off what a mess

  6. Can you see how the cops defending themselves they are crooked

  7. I get you guys are mad at the police for not moving sooner but who you should actually be mad your not. Like for example who in the world would just sell a freaking gun to a 18 year old. I mean literally who? Because as how I see it he bought it legally at least that's what they said so he did give the right credentials his day of birth and the year he was born. Wouldn't they see that suspicious. Now the people that he told that he was going to do something like this took it as a joke and never called the police or anything they could've prevented this whole thing as well or the guys that saw pic. Of him with guns why didn't they say anything. Now I'm not trying to say that police did the right thing by any means but there not the only ones at fault. An AR-15 is not a toy or a joke that thing is way more stronger it's literally a machine gun that can kill anyone it's not like a regular pistol (handgun) no there way more stronger than that

  8. The Training and every training need to include whole Bullet Proof Gear including Bullet Proof Shields at all the times on the person while in the class to get use to it. Then when dealing with active shooter it will be much easier to respond with it and get it done quick.

  9. Don’t forget that a lone border patrol officer went in solo and took out the shooter

  10. Local yokels from Mayberry

  11. F I R E T H E C O W A R D S ! ! !

  12. Everything is bigger in Texas turns out to be facts. The world has been shown that America's biggest group of cowards in law enforcement are indeed right there in Texas.

  13. Look at this Clowns running around fully armor fully equip as if they are doing something. Bunch of Police Texas Clowns just waiting for the pay check. Those Blood is all in your hands!

  14. It’s been reported now that 17-19 cops hid and listened while babies were dismembered by an assault rifle for an hour? Maybe longer? Every cop on scene must resign now if you haven’t already. An independent investigation into this had better be started already. DOJ get some folks there if they are not there yet. The whole world saw the thin blue line at work. Lie, cover up, point fingers. Cowards, all of them. It’s time for law enforcement to speak up. You don’t want to go against a man in body armor wielding an AR-15 , right? I didn’t think so. I want to see pictures of the cowards and names. Where they work. Someone please post a story on the cowards who violated their oath.

  15. fucking cowards the system will never change protect and serve my ass….

  16. The US should be sanctioned for allowing this genocide to continue to happen to their own people https://youtu.be/2B6E53Qk2GI

  17. how fast would they have gone in if a rich neighborhood and white kids with white parents. would they have been stopped from savings their kids. makes me sick to think about it

  18. jail time for cowards. if u don't do your job and people die u go to jail

  19. Who is responsible for waiting to go in? The cops are responsible, because they wear a uniform, when one messes up they all mess up. If you are a cop and don't think it's fair that I think that, then you don't understand why you wear a uniform and should probably stop wearing it.

  20. stupid cops …
    no one wants to do his job anymore .
    the shame!

  21. Texas officials say, "it was the wrong decision". Yeah, it's been the wrong decision all along.

    No matter how many tragedies like this happen, there will be no fundamental change coming. What will keep coming is many more mass shootings.

    AmeriCancer is in its terminal stage and totally incurable. AmeriKKKa is rotten to the core with violent culture, gun culture, gang culture, racism and corporatism.

    The core of the problem is the system (culture) rather than the individuals (culprits). Unless the culture (breeding ground) is eradicated, the germs keep coming out from there. AmeriKKKa is a fertile breeding ground for those germs.

    Chances are nearly zero that AmeriCancer can be cured, and the wrong decision will continue forever. So, let’s just keep mourning and praying, if it makes you feel a little better.

  22. Stop trying too Ban abortion get rid of the stupid laws stupid America

  23. Sounds like these guys should of had desk jobs .. who gave the cops guns?

  24. If 19 good guys with long guns, license, qualified immunity, training and special gear could not stop a bad guy with a gun from murdering 8-9 more kids, are we supposed to be believe the GOP talking point that we need armed teachers who they can’t trust with books to be the only answer to this gun violence? Asking for the kids who’ll probably die in the same way, in the coming months, if not weeks.

  25. I’m just happy the death toll wasn’t higher, he could’ve killed a lot more

  26. Parents were being arrested and threatened to be tased! TASED!!! JUST because they wanted to go in and save their babies because nothing was being done. You will never live this down. NEVER.

  27. This is so upsetting. They're acting like the shooter was shooting at desk and chairs while they waited 45min to go in.
    Actually they still didn't go in. CBP officers ignored the order after 20min of waiting when they got there.

  28. Wow! who do you trust with your kids' lives?

  29. So why is the dead shooter being held responsible for the deaths when it is obvious that someone in charge needed more dead kids for this here event.

  30. Defund the police. They've proven once again to be USELESS COWARDS.

  31. School shootings only happen in America….

    27 school shootings so far this year is 5 each month with 2 extra and it's only May.

    You understand why the rest of world think Americans are Stupid like Trump.

    American parents protest at school meetings about? A: 27 school shootings this year. B: Masks.

  32. GOD bless those families and give them peace. 🙏
    Sounds like a cult sacrifice of children to Satan/moloch
    So was this a luciferian plot?? I mean like the door was opened just at the right time ? The police didn’t go in when they should of. Like the Las Vegas shooting, Travis Scott concert. This is real stuff going on you know this right?
    To cause death, pain, and fear propaganda in the hearts of people.
    The family was poor…….. so you know how expensive ammunition is?? Let alone the guns??
    Lies…… someone else is behind him.
