  1. Her history of friendly relations with Russia President Vladimir Putin and the track record of economic ties between Russia and Germany! Real comedian leader of strong bussiness calculated nation!

  2. FIREEE THEM. THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE ANOTHER SITUATION LIKE THAT

  3. America! It can be inspiring and beautiful. It can also be dark and ugly. It’s soo many things, but it’s ours. It’s our America.

  4. what kind of police chief who don't bring his radio? the lazy and chicken ones to avoid being called upon… but this is a lame excuse… there were many other cops with radio that day he could just listen in

  5. Texas police are completely incompetent, not only this horrific and deplorable act of cowardice, but also what just happened in Centerville, I just can't comprehend how the police can be this horrible at their job.

  6. Yes good 👍 idea 💡 blamed on the teacher not the chief.

  7. This is political policing. Doing what you want,to prolong and ensure that you get yours.

  8. https://youtu.be/v5lXY8_xdfI nothing will change because buden already said nothing will fundamentally change, and republicans love his cowardice

  9. The excuses just keep coming, don't they?

  10. I fear the police more than the gunman. We weren’t counting on the gunman,

  11. Is their story that no police officer around him had a radio or anyone heard the gun shots?

  12. did anyone see that they're now working with Biker gangs (Specifically that one that says they "Protect Kids") to intimidate the Media into not covering the Funerals or Investigating Police.

  13. My decade's long quest to find America's worst police department has officially concluded. Thanks, Uvalde Police Department.

  14. The Texas DPS and the Uvalde PD need to be overhauled and new blood in place. In the meantime, the DA needs to charge this Peter the donkey with DERELICTION OF DUTY and should be arrested and jailed along with the rest of the officers on the scene who sat and did nothing! In turn, charge the teacher and principal for leaving the side doors open. JUSTICE FOR THE CHILDREN! JAIL TIME FOR PETE ARREDONDO AND HIS POLICE FORCE WHO WERE NOT THEIR TO SERVE AND PROTECT-but to collect a pay check. Shame on them. They have blood all over them! WE WANT JUSTICE FOR THE CHILDREN WHO CALLED 911 asking for help and none came. Recognition for the parents who fought the lazy officers and went into the school while the shameless cops were pepper spraying and handcuffing parents. RIDICULOUS!

  15. Instead of telling them to hold the scene an taking time to dress up like swat they should have just made entry you have a vest on side arm an grab shot gun or rifle but no need to wait at all. Just cause you guys want to look good in your gear running around the scene instead entering right away. You are cowards.This police chief an sheriff needs to face charges just like the rest of the cowards that did not go in. The officers if they had any guts an not cowards would have disobeyed the order an went in a real police officer would have known that being told to wait was wrong an would have took it upon there self to enter. Each officer that arrived an did nothing needs to be inditied no excuse at all. Any an every cop no matter the dept. that was on scene needs to be charged an there badges need to be taken away for ever for ever.
    Will

  16. How could do many cops be so cowardly

  17. Police chief needs prison time

  18. I guess these officers have never suffered from a bad performance review.

  19. It's amazing though how there is never any miscommunication when police are shooting down black people in the streets like dirty dogs

  20. Why is this like pick your own tragedy book… so disgusting the story is still evolving. Media doesn’t help. Those precious kids and teachers deaths are being used politically and that makes me sick. The victims were let down.

  21. The cops were negligent cowards who hid behind bad orders as they heard children being butchered. "New details" aren't needed to understand that much.
