What kind of madhouse is that PD?

Didn't think authorization was something that cops waited for before shooting someone.
The Uvalde PD will need to order more tarp to cover up stuff that comes out every day.
They shoot only if they suspect someone has a gun. If they know he has one, they wait for further orders.
Might have been scared to act without someone higher up ordering it, lest it go wrong and he gets blamed.
Many cops are less familiar with the law than you would think, he might not have known what he was supposed to do.
@Damien date in title now? Thought it happened again ffs
How do you know the maniac with the gun isn't just some ordinary Texas citizen exercising his constitutional right to carry?
Done.

Basically, grieving families are left alone while 2 groups with interests are in a tug-of-war as to which one is more convincing than the other rather than finding out the hard and cold truth.
the "children screams were edited out" part is fecking heartbreaking
The Uvalde mayor is a piece of shit.
Yeah made my heart sink. Absolutely horrific.
A part of me thinks that the video should be released with nothing edited out of it, including the screams. Unedited, it would go a long way vis à vis the ineptitude of the response & shocking more gun people into realizing that common sense laws are needed. Editing the screams sanitizes & sterilizes the video & leaves out important context.

Lawrence gives us his thoughts about how he felt when he watched the video. I can only imgaine how haunting it must have been for those who had to watch the whole thing with unedited sound.
The cops did not do what they were trained for, but they really knew what stood in front of them. If they could not overcome the fear of an AR-15, teachers would not even make it any better even if they followed the silly idea of being armed. The sound of an AR-15 is psychologically as devastating to the trained ear as the sound of the MG42 for those who served in WW2 in Europe.

That poor kid covering themselves in blood
Was it actually an AR-15 used? Sounded like full auto to me, not semi.
On the police: they show up fairly quickly, approach the shooter, take fire from what appears to be a full auto rifle, shit their pants and retreat to a safe distance. That's reality for you, anyone else would do the same unless they've prior experience, kids involved or not. People watch too many movies.
Of course its ridiculous its then took them an hour to make a move.

That’s a semi-auto. They can shoot really fast.
Not as quick as Dwazza in the hot tub with Kelly Anne, though. Amirite? lol:
For that you’d need to watch footage of a minigun
cnuts.Just to add a bit more levity to this horrific thread topic and recent news....
Found in @Dr. Dwayne 's ""special folder"

Nice! Now she just needs some massive fake tatas and it's almost perfect.
Imo, I think the whole unedited video should have been released.
Should be played on a loop out of loudspeakers outside the home of every politician taking money from the NRA in my opinion
Agreed. Along with mandatory video of police forces being too scared to engage with an armed shooter every time some idiot goes for the “good guy with a gun” line.
100%. Someone much smarter than me should create a Twitter bot that just searches that phrase and responds with that footage.

My god they had an infantry battalion there
And somehow they did not have sharpshooters among them? Jesus wept.
I looked at the school building layout time and time again, and there are at least 2 rooftops nearby with a good vantage point and a view on that classroom. Any police force involved could have had sharpshooters to be both their eyes and the first response (if necessary). I'm just baffled that there was no mention of a single police sharpshooter anywhere.

How many bloody officers does Uvalde have with a population of approx 26,000?
They were a mix of multiple police forces.
Ah, I’m still curious to know how many there are. I remember reading something ages ago that something like 40% of the entire city budget goes on the police force.
That doesn’t seem that high numbers to be such a chunk of the budget, I bet they’ve got all kinds of crazy toys.
Absolutely no doubt they do.
I don’t think this number is reflective of the school district force, so there’s five or six more.
