fredhoffman1968
how many people are guilty in the death of those kids ..sorry children the calvary is not coming for you.. ALL COPS ARE DIRTY COPS
jimmythehat1
It's like that The Far Side cartoon with the kid pushing on the door that says pull, but the cops just stand there instead of pulling
tlamstrike
Except this is worse, the "kid" pushing on the door has a Halligan forcible entry tool, a riot shield, Level IV plates, and an AR.

The count's up to SEVEN? They actually did that to SEVEN parents? O.O

Before I finished reading, I expected the cops to have locked the door and/or hold it closed
Gheebun
An attempt wasn't made
Lovingimpaler
What if they DID try the door and it was unlocked, and they just said, fuck that, I'm not going in there. Then came up with the lame story.
AZRAELSBLADE
Daily sad reminder that the police are not required to serve the public trust, protect the innocent, or uphold the law.
Firestar002
I s2g these cops acted like a bunch of skipped-training green-grass newbies. Ralph Wiggum “I’m a blue boy”
DocWino
They tried the keys in a different door looking for a master. Incompetent.

Cowards.

FritoParadise
Know what would make the story just a tiny bit better? Having every one of those sniveling cowards lose their jobs
pyroxferroite
I mean, if the intruder could get in then they weren't locked to begin with.
GoliathSkittles
It's possible he locked it when he entered, but depends on what kind of lock I guess. Also schools tend to have many entrances...
Beefkins
We've reached comedy level of incompetence here.

Fuck me, that is too on the nose. At least they're honest.
DickGenie
Bet 10 pogs nothing significant will change, ie no new proposals to study and put forward policies to prevent future tragedies like this.
Gryphonosiris
Cowards, force them to do Roman decimation repeatedly.
Filanwizard
Classroom doors have windows don’t they? probably could have shot the dude through the glass. maybe I just went to school in old buildings
backrideup9
I'll say it louder for the people out there missing the point and beating this dead horse...THE SCHOOL HAS MORE THAN 1 DOOR.
ahorseelbowdeepinme
Elaborate.
bril350
Republicans were saying the uvalde school would have been safer with only one door in/out.
bril350
Not if republicans have anything to say about that
DrLeery2022
....and those yellow cops didn't use ONE of those doors to take down the shooter
noJustNOnoooooo
All of them. Manslaughter to start. 2nd & 3rd degree murder where applicable. No exceptions if true.

Bare minimum fired and barred from law enforcement careers for life

Theres talk that its likely the cops may have accidently or thru gross negligence shot a kid too.
Einstein9073
Standing outside with only get you manslaughter. You'd have to shoot a kid yourself in order to get murder charges
ButtProblems
I agree that they should not be charged with murder. They didn't murder anyone. However their gross negligence and inaction did.
noJustNOnoooooo
For those of you who have not a clue about various murder definitions... dude & et al.: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/second_degree_murder
OrangeFlavours
Yeah, which doesn't fit. Inaction is not a punishable offense. You can't go to jail for not stopping somebody and putting yourself in harm
whaleywhale
They didn't fuck up, it was gross negligence. They stood by and did nothing and let somebody continue to murder children when it's 1/2
whaleywhale
Literally THEIR FUCKING JOB to go stop the shooter as quickly as possible
bonodono1350
Qualified immunity. Nothing will happen to them.
brianingram
*impunity
Firestar002
I think you gotta be qualified. And these guys don’t seem qualified.
AVaguelyFamiliarUsername
Sometimes the "training" is not even three months.
Onetonmanwithaspoon
I won't be surprised if they said the media helped the shooter now. Seems like they are getting down to that level of the blame game.
AnAverageBoxEnthusiast
Tumescentpie
I will be surprised if an independent investigation find that they didn't shoot at least one of the children.
crodrigues
The fac that there is not even a single redeeming aspect to this shitshow in favor of UPF is enough reason why they should be canned asap
user3827492
I am fully convinced at least one cop killed at least one kid and they are trying to cover it up. Or that the cops supported him even.
Chereazi
It was clearly a false flag operation to make cops look bad. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! /s
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
That's why the cops didn't go in. It was an ambush, the kids were all paid crisis actors to lure in fine upstanding officers so the gunman-/
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
Could kill them. Those smart officers did everything they could, arresting and detaining the parents so the gunman couldn't get -/
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
Reinforcements for a prolonged shootout! /s \-
Lurkninja
To be fair the media does help the shooter. By naming ever kiddy killer and pandering to the gun nuts. The media could start alienating them
PickledDundersnoot
Yeah, imo they need to walk a fine line between making the tragedy felt, but not giving the next shooter a high score & named rival to beat
kebabpipe
I wouldn't be surprised if the police helped the shooter
Jukeratzu
The shooter was probably a future policeman.
kebabpipe
Ugh. Imagine kyle becoming a cop in a couple of years.
BlueDsc
At some point I wouldn't be surprised if they blamed the victims for being there.
AStupidWeeb
The reason they're talking about arming the teachers is so that next time they can blame the teachers.
Kaleopolitus
"Now I wouldn't put any blame on the children, but they were supposed to run first, not hide. If they don't follow instructions...."
Kaleopolitus
Note, just imagining what they would say. Not quoting anyone.
hyperfell
Saw a Facebook post the other day talking about the parents being sinners and the shooting was gods punishment.
Kaleopolitus
Excuse me while I go scream into the void.
theomni
Eventually we're gonna get bodycam footage where someone says something like "I'm not risking my life to save those [racial slurs]"
Mandaglorian
They’ll somehow “lose” it.
Comet260
Or, or, or.....they shot a kid.
theomni
I didn't really think that was a possibility until they put out that statement that said "We absolutely did not shoot a kid"
shitnado85
Have you seen the cops on the Uvalde police force. They aren't exactly white.
theomni
I think there's at least some. And plenty of non-white people in power actively engage with and support institutional racism and all of that
jackwagon311
Doesn't matter. Magats are magats.
shitnado85
I guess I just don't understand why an hispanic person would be calling an hispanic child a racial slur.
takingupspace
Lots of US born Hispanics are Republican and anti- immigration. Source: the stupid part of my family.
sSommy
Oh trust me, the Hispanic pop here is big on "close the borders and stop the wets"
ShadowZX
The only thing more divided than the political spectrum of the US is the division between all the latino countries, man is so sad
