  1. WHAT WERE THE STUPID COPS DOING?! WTF?!

  2. None of the officers who were at this shooting deserve to wear a badge.
    They are a disgrace from the top down.
    If they walk into a shop or diner in Uvalde refuse to serve them.
    Shunn them at every moment possible.
    These people obviously don't understand the words "To serve and protect".
    These are not people you want living in your town because they definitely don't understand the word community.
    They now know the meaning of the word coward and will recognize it every morning when they look in a mirror.
    Absolutely shameful.

  3. Mr Reyes You did everything you could you protect Students the best way you know how this is not your fault this 😢

  4. This happened after that lady got her own kids out. They covering up the police not doing anything

  5. I agree with the teacher, the police has a bullet proof vests and did the police even think about those were like Children because they cared more about protecting there selfs then saving innocent children from a complete psychopath, And a message to those police officers, if your not willing to protect people not even kids, Do not be a cop

  6. Teachers need guns or a SWAT team every 10 miles away from schools 🏫 Gun control is never going to stop a criminal!

  7. Those cops are a bunch of bitches

  8. Omg this got me emotional 😢

  9. Local police were cowards. Unforgivable

  10. Each and every parent who lost a child or had a child injured better seek legal action on the county and district , this is absolutely disgusting

  11. This is the most loving, most protective, most effective, and caring teacher I’ve ever seen. He was calm he didn’t tell them to play dead he told them to just play sleep or go to sleep. And these students complied. This teacher did everything you could do you couldn’t do anything else.

  12. The pain this man is in right now is unimaginable, I wish him the very best. Gun reform needs to happen in the United States

  13. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  14. That’s what happens when your tax bill comes and you get change back from a $20. These Texas guys talk tough but those officers in Sandy Hook went in right away.

  15. Absolutely atrocious. That whole dept should lose their jobs

  16. Every school in the USA should be treated the exact same way that airports are

  17. come let it rest you all are such a dumb asses

  18. 😞 America is so broken!!!! Our poor babies…. Just to go to school to learn…. Our precious teachers who are all so dedicated and underpaid to go in no knowing if today will be a battlefield or not!!! God bless us all!!!! Keep us safe from harm! Please find a wat to comfort and support these students,parents and community…. AND OUR COUNTRY!!! We r scared no matter where we live for our babies to go to school….

  19. Why do we still have gun free zone schools?
    Why aren't we arming our teachers?

  20. They killed all his students??

  21. I can tell that even the reporter was chocking up. I would be angry too if the police came an hour later. I survived the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017 so I feel the pain but in a classroom? There is no exit

  22. All these cops need to get life in jail!!!!! What if this was a fire 🔥. I hour later everyone is dead

  23. A crying shame!

  24. Prayers for the teacher my heart goes out to him

  25. 11 students, but the picture shows 17

  26. I feel so sorry for him. Its not his fault. I do not understand why the cops didn't feel motivated to save innocent lives.
    Those poor kids. I hope we get rid of assault rifles or at the very least they require a license to have one and the gun owner needs to have a history of being a responsible gun owner.

  27. Not only did these pieces of crap not help but actually stopped people from going in to try and help . I'm pretty sure there was some liberal agenda at work here . This STINKS to high heavens .

  28. Thank you George for showing me traumatic news and reminding me to subscribe to your YouTube chance

  29. Disgusting. Absolutely gross, these police officers should be fired. If you cannot risk your life for a child then why do you get to hold a gun and claim to be a police officer? Disgraceful. Many parents were willing to sacrifice themselves for their own kids and others but yet they couldn’t? How could you cower and hold the parents back but not give them a reason to stand back and let the police “work”…? Why? How do you all sleep at night knowing you made so many DELIBERATE mistakes? I appreciate our police but not the lot of you. You all disgust me. Yes I know the shooter killed them. Do not come at me with “cop hater” or “let’s not forget who killed them”…. Yeah I know who killed them. I also know who failed to protect them. I’m not a cop hater. I just hate when law enforcement makes excuses for their own mistakes and bad actions. All of you FAILED in your duties as a police officer to protect and serve.

  30. Who left the door open?

  31. He shouldn’t feel guilty. Blood is on the cops hands. Their inactions are despicable.

  32. The officers that showed up and allowed this to go on, waived off Border Patrol/Feds, etc. not only need to be summarily fired, pensions revoked, and made to never be anywhere near a position of authority ever again, they each need to brought up on negligent homicide/manslaughter/accessory to murder charges. Something.
    Is justice once again going to evaporate away because of under-the-table handshakes, the buddy-buddy system, and because "no one single person can be found at fault"? The current conservative SCOTUS already ruled that cops "don't actually have to help you", so do the people – the victims' families – get to bury that heinous "ruling"? Will that farce of a "decision" toss even the memories of innocent children to the wind?

  33. IF THEY WERE LIL WHITE KIDS…….THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE FUCKER OUT ASAP!! THIS SOME BULLSHIT!! THOSE LIL BROWN BABIES DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE GOD REST THEIR SOULS.

  34. Border patrol ain’t nothing but a bunch of fake ass security guards with foid cards.

  35. Poor babies 🥺 I couldn’t imagine the pain this man feels inside.

  36. The U.S. government using children as gun control propaganda is beyond pathetic. Politicians have always hidden behind the flag, the bible, and children. If anybody still believes that 'mass shootings' are real,…….then you need to see the video I uploaded. Do these cops act and look like over 20 people were killed at Robb Elementary?? Do you see any reverence between these officers? No, they're all standing in a circle laughing and bullshitting around.

  37. Those poor kids waiting for help

  38. I cant imagine being in there for more than hour thinking the police are going to come save you & they never come because they assume everyone is already dead. How sickening

  39. Those pigs are cowards. How dare you call yourselves law enforcement officers! Your only job is to serve and protect. You all took an oath! And you all betrayed it! COWARDS!!!!! Your supposed to be better than average citizens yet you all seem to be the poison in society.

  40. All these stories being reported by those who experienced this tragedy first hand is fanning the flames..with each new revelation it becomes apparent that the system no longer works..there needs to be a public forum where the parents can address those who were in charge and listen to the anger the pain and not tried to justify their actions..all the public officials involved from the governor down to the police officers should retired or forced out their jobs. THE WHOLE we were just following orders IS NO EXCUSE FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.. i am wondering if there was some kind of racial component here..just saying

  41. What a sorry pathetic accounting these cops gave of themselves.
    They should not be allowed to walk a dog.
    Nineteen children and two teachers slaughtered while these cops stayed safe with there guns and bullet proof vest.
    To put the word officer in front of these cowards names is Bullshit

  42. Run. Not get under a desk. Time to Change things

  43. Sing to the tune of IMAGINE by John Lennon

    Imagine there's no more guns,
    It's easy if you try,
    No madman at your doorstep,
    There to see you die,
    Imagine all the people,
    Living past today

    You might say I'm a dreamer,
    But I'm not the only one,
    There are millions more just like me,
    Who wants the carnage to be done.

    Imagine no more NRA,
    Same for the GOP,
    And the smell of gunsmoke,,
    Sickens both you and me,
    Imaging no more bullshit,
    Coming from Lady G,

    You might say I'm a dreamer,
    But I'm not the only one,
    There are millions more just like me,
    Who wants the carnage to be done.

    Imagine no more bullets,
    Flying through the air,
    No more school age children.
    Hiding and being scared.
    No more wannabe Rambos
    Trying to gun our children down.

    You might say I'm a dreamer,
    But I'm not the only one,
    There are millions more just like me,
    Who wants the carnage to be done.

    Rest in peace Uvalde 21

  44. 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!

  45. I don't think they should give these guys the death penalty..most of them want to die..we would be doing them a favor…let them get life but throw them in with the most violent offenders and alert them that he killed children…then let nature takes it's course. My buddy lived in an apartment complex where one of the tennants murdered a young girl. It was all over the news. The first day of prison they knocked out every single one of his teeth…just his gums left. Then, blinded him in one eye and fractured his jaw.

  46. According to Republicans mass shooting are caused by:
    1. Over use of cell phones.
    2. The decline of the family.
    3. Social Media
    4. The decline of Religion.
    5. Not enough prayer by leaders.
    6. Violent video games
    7. Mental illness
    8. Fatherlessness
    9. Drug use
    10. Taking God's name in vain.
    11. Prayers being eliminated in schools.
    12. Not enough people praying in public.
    13. Not enough locked doors
    14. Not saying the Pledge of Allegiance enough.
    15. Too much crime on T.V. – according to Ted Cruz
    16. The  "Gun Free Zone Act.- according to MTG
    17. Not enough armed people around schools – MTG
    18. Not enough metal detectors
    19. Not enough good guys with guns-(there were 19 cops at Uvalde)

    Yet no mention of stricter gun laws at all.
    According to the GOP& NRA everything else causes mass shooting except guns!
