  1. It would be great if the DPS chief would think beyond his own career and step down for the good of the community. But these days, that’s not how they do things when it comes right down to the wire.

  2. I guess that’s why Texas calls their
    State Police DPS because it’s all
    about their safety.

  3. If the DPS chief was black would he have the option of not resigning?

  4. I live about 50 miles from St. Louis maybe we should send some of our police officers to Texas to show them how it's done.

  5. So the people gave you a position and you stay when those ppl want you to believe 🤔 that’s not democracy🎃

  6. It's hard to get fired from DPS since it is a state job.

  7. SWIFT JUSTICE FOR THE UVALDE VICTIMS! 77 minutes! BAM! He's gone forever! Don't mess with Texas! Unlike the Parkland families who had to suffer for YEARS OF LITIGATION and go through a long and drawn out trial, where psychologists talked about his poor troubled past, and the jury felt sorry for the gunman Nicholas Cruz and they gave him LIFE IN PRISON instead of the DEATH PENALTY! 👨🏼‍⚖

  8. Texas Attorney General needs to be next to go..

  9. 91 police officers inside says it all.

  10. 91 law enforcement officers and not one had the courage to disregard the ridiculous order to remain outside while 20 people were being slaughtered by a madman. Gutless cowards.Everyone one of them should be fired.

  11. Coward….we will never forget…RIP to all those kids…you will never be forgotten…

  12. THE FIRST DPS OFFICER AT THE SCENE SAW THE GUNMAN WITH A RIFLE BUT MADE A CALL AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT WHEN HE COULD HAVE STOPPED THE GUNMAN BEFORE ALL THE KIDS AND TEACHERS KILLED

  13. The lead coward needs to go.

  14. Becareful, what they wish for. Eventually they will be no one there to protect the kids and the less law enforcement present , the longer the response time. People want law enforcement accountable for this shooting, but if they get rid of law enforcement presences now, than what happens if and when the next time happens? The more they strip away law enforcement , the weaker the schools get and more vulnerable they become.

  15. Can you say Your Fired. Let them Sue then we counter Sue and Bankrupt them. Zero Tolerance.

  16. Is he waiting until he's eligible for retirement?
    Is he not resigning and wanting to wait thru the end of the year so he can get full retirement or something?
    Talk about a leach on his community.

  17. 5 months after Uvalde, St Louie High became 2022's 40th US school shooting.

    44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day and proves US gun laws don't work.

    US Gun companies have made billions making fools of Americans.

    Put the guns down.

  18. His clling fr his white privilege 🤦‍♂️ an we suppose take dt , step down dtz it, let family move on

  19. Hopefully Texans won't be scared to fight the impotent law enforcement that stood by and allowed their children to be slaughtered.

  20. Its been a huge coverup of lies after lies from their first public update of the shooting!

  21. Cops lie almost as much as Trump does, & they always try to cover up their crimes.
