Facing questions from reporters around the world, police are trying to clarify the timeline of the Uvalde, Texas elementary school massacre – but many of their answers raised even more questions. Authorities say the gunman crashed his grandmother’s truck and fired at two people outside a funeral home before going to the elementary school. There, according to their timeline, the shooter was in a classroom for more than an hour before a tactical arrived and killed him.

Is this the first time that these armed officers had to deal with a armed civilian? I'm confused. Why was there hesitation and delay and NO form of physical force against an 18 year old armed intruder. We pay tax dollars for law enforcement's equipment, training, transportation, buildings, financial, etc. Why did they need a key to enter the door when they have batter-rams. Why didn't they access entry via the windows? Was there any negotiator demanding the shooter to stand down? It doesn't make sense that the police DID NOT react immediately, when in fact they had leverage on what was going on inside the school. Who delegated the decisions NOT to enter?? So citizens are paying taxes for law enforcement, however services are not being rendered?
They can't explain away their cowardice
Never trust the police when the fk up, they are lying rats who only care about covering up they're incompetent and corrupt actions! Cowards nut no cowardly enough to arrest and taz parents wanting to do they're job!
I want a blood analysis verifying devils breath.
“We need body armor”
So did the children. They died while you cowards waited.
They needed brave cops- not you cowards.
THE SO-CALLED OFFICERS AT THAT SCHOOL..COULD HAVE VERY EASILY ENTERED THE BUILDING, AND EITHER STOPPED THE SHOOTER OR KILLED HIM..IF NECESSARY. THEY WERE COWARDS, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. TO WAIT FOR BACKUP..FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, IS TOTALLY INSANE, AND ALL THOSE OFFICERS SHOULD BE FIRED. EVEN THE UNARMED PARENTS WERE READY TO GO IN AND STOP THE SHOOTER. THIS IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ENDED UP WITH THE MURDERS..OF ABOUT..19 INNOCENT CHILDREN, AND THE LIFE OR LIVES OF INNOCENT TEACHERS. THE DEATH COUNT KEEPS CHANGING. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG HERE. GOD'S WRATH..IS COMING TO ALL EVIL ONES..THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THIS. NOTHING BUT EVIL..BEHIND THIS TRAGEDY.😡
Seems like none of these cops had the ball to go in guns blazing.
Let's admitted cops are only prepped to deal with unarmed civilians, not armed one's.
COWARDS

COWARDS
THE AREA I LIVE IN WHEN THERES ANY REPORT OF A PERSON W A GUN ALL SCHOOLS ARE IMMEDIATELY PUT ON LOCK DOWN! NO ONE IS ABLE TO ENTER THE BUILDINGS (DOORS ARE CONTROLLED WITH A BUZZARD) THESE POLICE OFFICERS REALLY FXKD UP HERE 🤷🏽♀️ BUT THEY WONt ADMIT IT!
Let them just patrol and eat donuts. and take lunch breaks – go home and collect the check.
Beautiful.
If their moths are moving they are lying
The feds said that the sheriff told them not to enter that all the kids were dead even tho dispatch was still getting 911 calls from kids in classroom and that after 30min of the local police doing nothing the feds said the had enough and told the shriff that they are going to overide his directive not to enter the building which even still did not want them to enter which the fed said the ignored and stormed the building and encounterd the suspect killing him
Can't even protect their own children and they want to save Ukraine. Let's go Biden😡😢😭
The Supreme Court States that the police are not obligated to protect anyone from harm .
How is this guy caught on camera entering school? Who captured that? The first thing you do is alert school to go into lockdown from funeral home call. Pathetic.
Cowards
Sketchy Police
He says we need weapons, tactical shooters, bla bla bla. They obviously know how to use their weapons well enough to keep parents, some of them I’m sure were probably armed, out of the school!
He keeps saying “circle back”
what a disgrace.
Idiots, they have no excuse. They along with looser Abbott and all GOPs must resign and get charged for negligent homicide. They have these children blood on their hands.
The DPS/DOT doesnt seem to be afraid of constantly harrass working law abiding citizen truck drivers daily, why were they hesitant to confront a criminal?
🛑 stop police hate and abuse of people of different nationalities or mixed race. White supremacy Texans and police must be deterred not by ordering more weapons. teach tolerance to white or prejudice cops; and lock gates; assign a police on all campuses. a must to live in USA
When waiting for ‘specialty equipment’ runs precedent over children’s lives really is the epitome of America, huh.
Everyone is protected except these little kids. Been crying for days effected everyone
We need protection outside the school as well you shouldn’t be able to get out of a car carrying a high powered weapon and not be stopped. Security should be around these places yes like government buildings.
Children should have the same protection as our elected officials in government. Why do government officials get protection and our children do not?
Teacher props door open 🤔🤔 they wouldn't stop him going in 🤔🤔 I feel a serious set up on these kids and me looking at Texas racist past and the race of the teachers and students 🤔🤔🤔
2:32 "You gotta understand this is a Small Town"
^ THIS. You people don't understand how under prepared small towns are!
This is the korea sewol ship tragedy all over again, a coward try to be man in uniform to save the children but actually do nothing and stand idle seeing children die
Are the police afraid to react to crimes as a result of what happens many times like in the George Floyd case.? Police are accused of using excessive force and put under the microscope under Biden policy's .?
We need to defund the coward police
Lying COWARDS , the police
Police don't need more resources they need hearts compassion courage ,
Great work officers , 19 babies DEAD because your all cowards COWARDS
Only good cop is a dead cop. It should’ve been 19 cops slaughtered instead.
So what they're saying about taking guns from the mentally ill is that a Veteran who comes home for care at the VA hospital or mental health facility for PTSD is not good enough to have his rights anymore?
this looks a like a soap opera show
Cops guilty of cowardice should be charged and imprisoned.
Blame the police and blame the security in school
Cowards. I hear alot of we needed this and that but the teachers and students needed HELP. smdh.
officers that waited need be asked 1 question… if there child was in that room would they had behaved differently… I'm gonna say yes they would… the chef needs fired asap
I can’t tell if I’m more furious at the shooter or the incompetence of these police officers
We don't need the police they no longer serve or protect abolish them if they are usless
Well……had the shooter been a black or person of colour, maybe then the police would have reacted swiftly or instantaneously.
But then you know the American police treat Whites and Others differently…..🙄🙄
While I side with the officers who stood outside carefully evaluated the situation before storming in, I do wonder if their actions would be any different if the majority of these kids are Caucasian. Not accusing these officers to be stereotype or anything, just from my pure observation.
it wasn't important to them because no one in their families were in there
