Uvalde School Police Chief Fired In Response To Mass Shooting



Uvalde’s school board voted to fire police chief Pete Arredondo following mounting pressure from parents. Arredondo waited over an hour to storm a classroom and take down the gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers. Arredondo refused to attend the meeting but his attorney sent the board a scathing statement calling the process an “unconstitutional public lynching.”

  1. Former US president Donald Trump is being presented in outdated appearances and quoted speech in media presentations as he is no longer permitted outside of the prison that he is serving detention at. His participation in the mid term elections and coverup media presentations can no longer be sustained in a convincing way to the public while permanently confined to a United States prison complex.

  2. Guns exist all around the world but mass shootings don't happen all around the world. The problem is Americans.

    44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day and America is the ONLY country on Earth that has school shootings.

    Uvalde was the 7th school shooting this year. There are currently 27 US school shootings for 2022. Why no news?

    9,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in the last 6 months. 7,920 Americans have been shot by other Americans in the past 6 months.

  3. The nerve this guy has shows his lack of concern or remorse.

  4. Good, now fire the rest of them. No pensions, no benefits.

  5. Bald headed coward! When it comes to kids… Their should be no hesitation!

  6. ALL OF HIS "LACK OF ACTION" SHOULD BE WHAT THOSE PAPERS SAY. IS HE CATHOLIC? #CONFESSION WONT HELP NOW. NOR WILL AN APOLOGY. HE SHOULD PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS. HE SHOULD BEG THE FAMILIES TO FORGIVE HIM. #HUMILITY MAY HAVE BEEN HIS SAVING GRACE. TOO LITTLE. TOO LATE. MAY THE BRAVE TEACHERS, THE BERIEVED HUSBAND OF A TEACHER (who DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART) AND THE BABIES REST WITH OUR BLESSED LORD IN EVERLASTING #PEACE ☝ WHAT AN ABSOLUTE TRAVESTY.

  7. Jail those coward WUSS. Disgraced to society.

  8. this clown, should have stepped down day 2. he wants to sue for his back pay. what kinda coward idiots are they growing out there

  9. Cops are worthless. They aren't required, by law, to help anyone. Just more distractions instead of fixing the problem of mental health, defenseless schools, and unconstitutional laws.

  10. Good that the COWARD PIG school police chief Pedro Arredondo is out. He let down those poor children .

  11. This should have happened months ago! He allowed those innocent people to be massacred. I would not want an officer like him anywhere near my children. He ought to be ashamed of himself and he needs to move from Uvalde. Absolutely disgraceful.

  12. I personally would have charged in there and lit that guy up. How any decent human being could know what is going on in there and not put thier life aside is insane to me. I have 2 little girls myself and couldnt imagine the torture these familys, let alone those poor kids, went through during this time.

  13. He needs to be brought up on charges, or just take his own life.
    He served no purpose.

  14. Without a doubt he should be held accountable for dereliction of duty. However, all public servants are guaranteed due process before being fired. They cannot just take a vote and fired him. He will get his job back. Watch.

  15. Good job everyone 😀 I'm very proud of you 😀 keep up the good work 😀

  17. 1 down, many more to go.
