There's a cultural aspect here also....In a recent article a Uvalde Hispanic Woman said that most of the responding officers were Mexican American and that they did what they would have done in Mexico, wait until the shooter was done and then rush in and claim victory.....
She said it...I didn't.

Apparently there was a mass shooting in a hospital in Tulsa on Wednesday that killed five people but you probably didn't hear much about it because the suspect's race just didn't fit the narrative. Memory holed, as expected.
Remember the drill, if the mass shooter is white, the story gets blasted nationwide with 24 hr coverage on every media network, if the shooter is black, never mind, it stays on local media only and then disappears the next day.

You're such a tool. Tulsa also made major headline news. Even will be discussed tomorrow on the three major networks. You bring so much disrespect to all families that have been killed in these deadly shootings. You must be on the NRA payroll.

Stupid conspiracy theory. The Tulsa shooting has been all over national news as well. An elementary school shooting with the second largest death toll ever understandably shocks the nation more and is talked about more, not to mention there were too many inconsistencies in police statements for the first several days, so everybody wanted more answers.
A Uvalde High School Senior describes what Salvador Ramos was like before the shooting.MORE: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-...
And now, after all the incompetence and screw-ups, Arrendondo says he wasn't in charge but also says he did a good job...His problem and the problem with the rest of the Uvalde officers is they must have had their testicles removed at birth. Can't wait for the Texas Rangers report...
Salvador Ramos mother saying “he had his reasons for what he did and please don’t judge him” mam disrespectfully shut the fuck up! Your son killed 21 people. 19 of them were kids, how fucken dare you!
I thought they were fumbling for keys trying like 30 different ones until a janitor came along and heroically saved the day, or whatever was left of it.
Uvalde is blocking FOIA requests ("public information requests" in TX parlance) from media for 911 calls, body camera footage, etc. TX House committee is conducting hearings into the police response, but testimony is being heard behind closed doors with no public access. NYT reported that two Uvalde officers armed with an AR15 had a brief opportunity to shoot the gunman, but declined to take the shot due to fears of hitting children playing nearby. There has been speculation that Uvalde police shot children in a bungled attempt to respond to the shooter. So, who knows whether this is true or not. And no explanation about why the officer did not give chase after the encounter.
So, we have gone from a story from law enforcement that a school resource officer encounter the shooter and exchanged fire. The shooter made it into the building through a door that had been propped open. Police confronted the shooter inside and exchanged fire, but then retreated to wait for a tactical team. The door was locked and law enforcement needed someone from the school to open it to finally confront and take down the shooter.
To a reality that the police were on the scene and armed with AR15s from the beginning and let the shooter pass by and enter the school. No resource officer was at the school. While inside, the police never attempted to confront the shooter and instead were clearing out their own children while the shooter was killing children. The door to the classrooms was unlocked. Law enforcement never tried to confront the shooter until over 70 minutes into the ordeal. Instead, they tazed and pepper sprayed parents.
And for those who do not know much about Uvalde, it is not Mayberry. Uvalde is on a well traveled route from Mexico for human smugglers and drug traffickers. Uvalde Police regularly encounter coyotes and drug smugglers who are well armed. They deal with gangs and members of Mexican drug cartels.
And a heartbreaking piece by Liz Bruenig on school shooting condolence artifacts.
After 19 children were killed at a Texas elementary, law enforcement officials have given little information. They're now using the "dead suspect loophole" to prevent the public release of records.
Arrondon'tdo needs to be hung in the town square for all to see. Reports say he is going to get paid time off so he can get out of town and lay low. Maybe he will be found in Cancun with lying ted cruz.
The video you linked doesn’t confirm that. I heard this speculation on another news video as well but there seems to be no reliable confirmation that the doors were unlocked the whole time. The doors were designed to autolock, so that mechanism would’ve had to fail for the doors to be unlocked.
There were some major screwups by the cops of course, but it seems like all that a surveillance showed was that Arredondo’s team was trying their ring of 30+ keys on classrooms other than the one with the gunman in order to identify the master key, which doesn’t seem by itself a problematic strategy. How did news jump from there to the gunman classroom’s doors being unlocked the whole time?
Cops were in the school with riot gear and just ... waited... for an hour.
Policing in America is utterly useless.
BREAKING: Multiple officers were inside Robb Elementary School with rifles and at least one ballistic shield at 11:52 a.m. the day of the shooting, new video and other evidence shows. They didn’t enter the classroom for another 58 minutes. More soon via @statesman and @KVUE. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/0BcYgq2hcQ
