this incident showed the truth about all cops…they are cowards
The feds want us to distrust the police and they also want more illegal infringements on the 2nd.
FF are vary useful in accomplishing this.
Public birth records state two died of SIDS in 2012 and the rest where never born.
Just a myth. The way Hollywood has been depicting the Texas Rangers and State Highway Patrol as fearless, take no prisoners alive kind of hombres was just that, a myth.
To everyone who thinks there should be more school security and that there wasnt in this case, this makes you even more stupider. Thats today's GOP and america is about to give them more power this fall… Wake up America
ROLAND GUTIERREZ, SHOULD BE A PRIVATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR MEXICAN AMERICANS,
Vote blue. If we fail to make a change we fail these children and our own.
REPORTING CRIMINALS and CRIME: (NEVER REPORT CRIME…) It's too costly!🕸
The tragic truth behind reporting criminals or even potential crimes to the police in Michigan is as follows: (Other states may be the same!)
After ANONYMOUSLY reporting the crime to the police, the officer will then issue a citation to the reporter through the mail for false reporting. THIS IS THE HONEST TRUTH! (Police have caller ID and GPS tracking!)
The reporter is then forcibly compelled to show proof in court that the reported crime was actual and at the reporter's own expense … (Or pay fines, 90-days for false reporting and community service!)
Oakland County deputy MATT MATCHETTE regularly uses this dishonorable evil ploy against good community residents!
REPORTING CRIMINALS IN MICHIGAN IS TOO COSTLY!

Coward(s)
Yall come get mine….I can't be part of this and act like it's ok
Manslaughter charges for the cop in command. He might as well had pulled the trigger himself for as quick as it took them to respond
Edit: that little blue line gets destroyed quickly when one agency want to rid itself of any responsibility. But in the end it’s the head man in charge, the guy who told his subordinates not to enter who deserves individual counts of manslaughter.
They were missing courage too!! LITTLE KIDS AND TEACHERS DIE TO SAVE THEMSELVES! COWARDS!
Whether the doors, to that classroom, were locked or unlocked is crucial to this investigation. Because, if the door was unlocked. Then those LEO'S, that were in the hallway. Could have entered that classroom sooner. And then prevented additional deaths.
Questions:
A). Was that door unlocked when the gunman entered that classroom? If not, how did the gunman gain access into that classroom?
B). Since the door could not be locked from the inside. Then, when the gunman shut the door behind him, the door therefore was unlocked. And could have been opened from the outside door handle. Therefore, no key was needed, and or no forced entry was needed.
C). Video surveillance should reveal;
1). If the door was locked, when the gunman entered that classroom.
2). Did the LEO'S, touch that door, to see if it was unlocked.
D). Chief Ordondo, I think that's how you pronounce his name, should have known about the locking mechanisms of those doors. Because that is his job.
Overpaid Gung- Ho Cops with NO BALLS. A BUNCH OF HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS. HIRE TALIBAN TO BECOME COPS.
A good guy w/ a fresh doughnut won't use his gun.
Uvalde police got away with murder
How are they not fired???
19 accomplices to murder work at the Uvalde Police Department #ChargeThem 🤷♂️
As a medical worker we have been trained if the life threatening issue is beyond our knowledge we still ACT to save that life. We don’t wait until the boss gets there. We do our best to save that person with the tools and knowledge we have available. Police are trained the very same way when it comes to saving a life. These police failed.
when innocent kids inside were being mass-shot, the order from the more-coward commander is "don't move", then ALL coward under-oathed (to protect and serve) so-called Law Enforcement HEAVILY ARMED police officers are freeze-out – [running like chickens with no heads] ..[SHOW OF FORCE], or DO NOTHING. …….. 19 kids & 2 teachers "gone" withing 19 minutes. SAD ! The door is not even locked, or the worst – the door cannot be locked. Muum, …
WHY NO CAMERAS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL. NO clear cell phone photo of the shooter, to back up their story. Won't SHOW the purchase of the weapons. DOORS LOCK, DOORS OPEN. SPIN, SPIN, SPIN.
How must of these videos, are 3 hours later, running and pointing. To take down one person.
Was anyone killed after the cops arrived?
The American way! Blame the structure of the system and remain blameless. In a month it will be forgotten. Be it, 2008 financial crisis, the intelligence failures causing 9/11 , the Iraq war, school shooting, let the different departments blame each other .. that way no person is accountable.
Coward's. Heads need to roll
It would be easier for them to just man up and admit they were scared to die.
The guy who had the master key should have told the police that the doors cannot be locked from the inside. It makes sense that you can't lock the door from the inside.
