  1. If that guy had any sense of shame he would resign. Unbelievable

  2. Those cops and the police chief are an embarrassment to law enforcement and I’m sure cops all over the world think so also.

  3. All these A holes police, DA, mayor, are STILL being paid by tax payers.

  4. There’s more than just rose’s that are yellow in Texas ? 20,30,40 cops there and there waiting for back-up failure the likes of nothing we have never seen.

  5. ARREST THE COWARDS OF UVALDE

  6. Corruption at its finest.
    You hired cowards to protect our children, shame on you

  7. If our founding fathers saw this today…that mayor, that DA, and the Police Chief and the 19 officers would of been hanging from the gallows.

  8. Where the children's expendable so they learn from there mistakes and learn to correct it?

  9. So I'm pretty sure that if the newly elected council member doesn't show up he should be recalled immediately.

  10. Uvalde needs to get rid of their mayor ASAP vote him out!! Also go look at the uvalde police reviews. Before the mass shooting they had bad reviews already. Uvalde needs a clean up! Nice little town but has bad cops and a bad Mayor. He doesnt like answering questions and he is rude!!

  11. Pete Arredondo is a known coward and is in fear of his life. He now cowers (somewhere) in fear. Uvalde Council members are only marginally better and the mayor should be charged in the criminal cover up of the most vile and criminal failure of Texas law enforcement history. Certainly these politicians have other crimes they fear will be revealed.

  12. the thin yellow line

  13. don't be surprised if the parents and teachers goes missing or arrested on false cases.

  14. We don't have a gun problem, we have a bullet problem. It's the bullet that kills. However, bullets are not protected under the 2nd Amendment! Problem solved. Make it illegal to possess a bullet, manufacture, or own bullet making machinery, or any sub- component of a bullet, casings, primer charge, punishable by 5 years in prison for the first offense and add another 5 years in prison for every offense thereafter!
                    SPREAD THE WORD, COPY AND PASTE!!!
    FYI: Over 110 people are shot and killed every day in America. That works out to 770 people massacred every week. A 747 can hold 524 people. Which means aa FULLY LOADED 747 could only hold 68% of the people murdered per week. At 770 people per week comes to 40,040 per year!

  15. News Alert

    Proud Boys – Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area arrested for seditious conspiracy

    Peter Navarrow Arrested, Guilty and Indicted!
    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted!

    Mark Meadows Guilty and Contempt
    Dan Scavino Guilty and Contempt
    Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending
    Civil lawsuits For Trump Are Pending
    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader

    Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.

    No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.

    DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting all top Trumpists.

    MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!

    ….

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE

    2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs

    3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment; their oath is meaningless

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    This is just normal Trumpist behavior.

    Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?

    when will these evil trumpist cops be fired and arrested? they wont because they have qualified immunity!

    nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!
    .

    Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.

    Proverbs 10:9, NI

  16. just evil officials and police…just evil

  17. How embarrassing and appalling for Texas… And they called themselves "cowboys or Rangers"!!!! Scary cats are more like it! Ugh! This is a time when I hope these families find the best lawyers that money can buy and sue the panties out of texas…

    The state of Texas should be bankrupt by the Uvalde Victims and the collins family. The price for a single human being is immeasurable and the cowards in both cases and the entire state should pay dearly for each life they so negligently betrayed and abandoned. Also, Fatty cops running out of breath because they are overly obese. No wonder they were afraid to respond. Cops should be physically fit or else. It should be prohibited their relentless trips to Dunkin Donuts because most cops are out of shape. Nevertheless, because of their negligence, almost 30 lives were lost in such a short period of time. Rangers??? Cowboys?? Scary Cats is more like it!!! Cowards!! Ugh!

  18. Prayers? Yea! How did those work out?

  19. Pete Arre DON'T DO = Coward of the year century

  20. Just wait till the lawsuits start piling in. Chief will be re signing in no time

  21. the DA does not look capable; just by looking at her. she looks like a weak woman for the job. get someone else.

  22. They are asking why the school police chief didn't show up. Surely, by now everyone knows the man is a grade-a chickenshit coward. Afraid of guns and words equally.

  23. The protocol to stand down until "Special Units" arrive got innocent people killed.

    Every cop that arrived on scene should have ran into that school.
    That is your job, you took an oath to serve and protect.

    Your excuse of not being able to go in because you do not know where the shooter is. That is NO DIFFERENT than when you serve. Warrant on a home and you kick the door in. You have NO IDEA where the suspects are.

    These were kids, defenseless kids.

    You are all cowards and should be ashamed!!

  24. Remove the whole lot n put in capable ppl..

  25. Narcissistic to think that his loss is greater than his kids families because he lost 11 and they lost 1. That dried my tears up real quick.

  26. I swear this man better have free counseling for the rest of his life. I cannot imagine how deep the survivors guilt goes when you lose all of your students and do you survive. I can’t imagine how tough that would be as somebody who has worked in education and childcare my entire working life. My automatic assumption is that there are going to be days that he wishes he didn’t survive. My heart really breaks for him because this is not his fault, this is firstly the fault of the shooter and more broadly the fault of a system that allows for mentally unstable impulsive 18-year-olds to purchase weapons meant for a war. And it goes without saying that this trauma is clearly compounded by the negligence of the Uvalde Police Department and the cowardice/inhumanness of the overall government in Texas all the way up to the governor who continuously lies, ducks and dodges.

  27. He's the only one who tried to protect more than his own kids. He's the only one who protected OTHER people's kids.

  28. There is no effing way they are gonna charge her with obstruction. It was just an empty threat under the hope that she would be intimidated. If they charged her, it would be a PR disaster for the police. Even the fact that they tried, man I wish she would have recorded that call.

  29. That poor teacher, his heart is broken, I hope he can forgive himself, I wish him peace. What an absolute mess, too many people waiting around to be told what do and little initiative shown by 'law enforcement '.

  30. 272 American mass shootings this year in the ONLY country on Earth that has school shootings.

    'Amend' means 'to change' or 'put right'. The US constitution has already been amended 27 times.

    Ban Americans from international travel to control the spread of stupidity and amend Amendment 2.

    American parents protest at school meetings about? A: School shootings B: Masks.

  31. IF WE DON'T WANT THEIR DEATHS TO BE IN VAIN, LET'S JOIN THE CAUSE WITH THE MR. REYES!!!!! LET'S NOT REST UNTIL THE LAWS CHANGE!!!!!! NO TEACHERS OR STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASS UNTIL THE LAWS CHANGE!
    IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT THE CAUSE, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!

  32. city council and mayor are obv corrupt and trying to protect their corrupt police.

  33. uvalde needs to host an emergency put arradondo in prison meeting, whenever he comes out of hiding, f’ing coward.

  34. Heartbreaking 💔 and Shocking that this Responsibile Police Chief has had No Accountability for Not Rescuing these innocent children and teachers!!!

    Deeply Sorry for this beautiful Caring Teacher… having been a teacher for over 35+ years… my heart breaks 💔 😢 😞 listening to this brave teacher trying their best to protect and save his students!!!

    The Police Chief Must Be Fired 🔥…
    for just listening to these innocent children fearful cries being shot down… without trying to protect and save them!!!

    If they try to arrest this beautiful Mom saving her children…
    All of Uvalde Police Responsibile will be Held Accountable for covering up their cowardness!!!

    US Outrage Will Follow Them…
    I wouldn't want to be one of those Unaccountable Cowards!!!
    😠 😈 😡
