@@nicolemiller8314 I noted that too! He was in a vehicle driving around if you look at the timeline it WAS around lunchtime I am NOT defending him, he drove right past the shooter when shots were already fired so I’m assuming he was told and rushed back? I’m just saying I don’t think mass shooters schedule regular “lunch breaks” but I have to disagree with you that he is also at fault.and shouldn’t he have a master key for the whole school given they had to find a janitor and borrow his key to get in.
@@maileannlouie I agree with the officer having a right to a luch/bathroom break and someone mentioned (not sure if it’s true) that Uvalde only has 4 officers for 10 schools. Anyway, all schools I’ve worked in the following people have master keys to all the rooms in the schools: principal, vice principal, secretaries, nurse, janitors (never chatted with the Sri but I’m sure he had one too) in addition to all those that had master keys, there was a back room where the janitor could just make more master keys in the school.
I avoided our school resource officer like the plague, his nickname was Farva and if you haven't seen Super Troopers you won't get the joke. Seriously, the thought of that cop supposedly running into an active shooter situation blows my mind. He was only there to hit on underage girls, and act like he was the baddest MFer on campus. So I have a hard time believing he'd do anything to save lives...
I can recall a news story from before the pandemic that is a mirror image of what you say, this guy was showing off and his weapon discharged, fortunately no one was hurt but it's a glaring example of why it's wrong to militarize the school.
If the teachers protect their children using their body and those officers fully geared with armors and trained cannot protect the children, those officers do not deserve the job our taxes are paying for. Find another job.
They all should be fired for not performing their duties. It's against policies and procedures and they should all be fired. They all literally FAILED at the least of the job description. Cowardice is no excuse. If a fireman refuse to go in a burning building to save lives because they are More concerned about their own safety that's also failure to perform duties. My point is if you're not up to the job change your career. Your cowardice is literally getting people killed.
Ever job has a component that we always hate but are paid for that function. If the Uvalde cops are too afraid to do their job because they are afraid of the potential of being shot. Find another job. One teacher even used her body as a human shield, to protect the children, getting killed in her bravery.
@@hunterq4202 27 of them in the hallway. They HAD shields , vests and some issue rifles along with handguns and several clips , even taser's. Yet they still waited for the swat that were a FULL 70miles away. Words fail me 😡😡😡😡
@@jimbanda Yep and even before those arrived they had 100+ cops outside who were only arresting and threatening parents. Some people were just in area and had a gun and said they’d run in. A father who’s daughter was murdered was also put in cuffs
It may surpise my friends in the US, but my kids and grandkids attended or today attend schools in E Africa, the UK, Australia, and Canada, at which a "school resource officer" would be assumed to be someone who supervised school supplies. The idea of a uniformed, armed policeman at school would be absurd to them.
@@denisefelton5207 The US needs to rewrite the 2nd Amendment to reflect the 21st century and the change from muskets to AR-15s. Guns are the problem not mental health or doors. Follow the lead from NZ, Canada, Australia, UK and other civilised and developed. This is not what the US is recognised as by the rest of the world.
I agree, but fyi SCOTUS ruled police have no obligation to protect anyone not in their custody. So the can just sit and listen to kids being slaughtered for an hour...
Dude was getting his haircut when he got a text from his wife who worked at the school… Got up mid haircut, told the barber what was going on, Barbar gave the guy a shotgun and he rushed over to the school! Found two other border patrol agents with children at the school who told police that they were going in with or without them. Armed with a shotgun, a 40 caliber pistol and a 308, they went in and shot this dude with every last remaining bullet they had
it wouldn't have been "against orders", a federal agent outranks a local cop every day of the week, when the feds show up they take over (although honestly even the local cops should have taken action without getting "permissions")
So rather than addressing the root of the problem, we're supposed to have multiple armed officers at every school, church, grocery store, movie theater, Walmart, etc? How is that not a police state?
because the morons believe that as long as they have their guns then they are "free". So even as we slide into a facistic police state they will believe they are free because they have an AR-15. . . .
…but, capitalism…it sells more guns. That’s been the constant refrain of the NRA. And is today. Their sole concern is how to turn a shooting into a sales pitch. It resulted with the “good guys with guns” dithering outside listening to gunshots, yelling at mothers and handcuffing one. One who, after release, climbed a fence, ran in and retrieved her two children. With no gun.
I'm a landscaper, ...and just for the sake of argument, imagine I'm doing my job, trimming bushes ,trenching for irrigation, and 50 feet away from me I see a kid walking on the sidewalk and a rattlesnake is close by ....since I don't get paid to save lives, should I just keep doing my thing and not rush immediately to put myself in between the kid and snake? ....obviously not , I will immediately run towards it even if I dnt have any tool in my hands...because the life of a kid is more important than mine . Those officers had the gear...get paid to do just that ...and didn't go in . 😔
Well you are also someone’s child and your life is equally important. In a country where teenagers are allowed to buy AR15s before their first beers, I found it pretty hard to always expect police officers to risk their own lives for others, especially they are not legally obliged to do so.
@@angiel3693 my life or any adults life is not equally important as that of that of child . Are you mental???? ...every sane adult would risk their life for that of a child. If you don't think that, you must not be a sane or decent person .

Do you know that a homeless person in Canada, Cuba and most any developed West European country has better Health Care, Dental & Mental Health Care than the average working American & they all have lower homicide and crime rates too to boot?

cuba has a fine medical system, but not now, MDs drive cans in order to eat. I am in favor of nationalized universal medical care as in Canada or Europe. But Cuba: no longer ( and please do not give me garbage about US blockade Russia gives their leaders economic support, wonderful nation, that russia…)
My personal experience with school resource officers is negative. Saw them and their rent-a-cops tackle kids who tried to skip school. Never talked to us or helped anyone, even when there were threats of violence against the student body.
When I was in high school one of the school cops was my great aunt, and I loved her a lot but she was an old woman and certainly not up to dealing with something serious like this.
@@Tyrone950 and societal pressure from the outside bro come on now as someone who grew up very poor yes the problem was with my mother not being a caretaker but at the same time that doesn't give the right to everybody else to abused the child for the parents mistakes
There are plenty of videos that support that. So many of them are just bullies on power trips. Resource officers should have mandated child psychology and teaching classes
WHY? Why do USA schools need a resource officer? Why doing something to try to make the problem less worse instead of doing what every other country has done and remove the problem it self? And no, we're not talking about taking all guns away. We're talking about not letting 18year olds buy AR-15's, we're talking about actual getting trained in weapons and weapon safety, we're talking about delay's in getting guns and actual background checks that are more than checking a name against an out dated partial database. You know, sensible stuff.
Let's cut to the chase,in my view as a Republican piece of 💩 we only have one option,arm all kids,glocks and body armour for everyone,sniper nests on school roofs,teachers get AR15s. Hardened sandbag entrances aren't too expensive so all this talk about silly ol common sense gun control which has worked everywhere else is crazy. Opinion paid for by the NRA.
Thank you xxx very very very soul destroying... something must be done on the laws for weapons of so much destruction where parents have to give DNA to identify their child's bodies which were shot to bits ...blood on all your hands who do not amend these laws.
And look at those countries now. Forced lock downs, the governments wanting more control over more things and breaking up peaceful and lawful protest like in Canada. Look at countries like China they have no way to fight against governmental tyranny. Its never a good idea to give up ways to protect your self. Look at Ukraine. They gave up their nukes and now they have been invaded by the same country who said they would protect them if the gave them up.
We are so proud of our brave police officers! These valiant public servants sprang into action. For over an hour they confronted parents, handcuffing terrified mothers, pepper sprayed defiant fathers wanting to interfere with the shooter and thwarted those pesky Border Patrol agents horning in on their turf - all while their kids were being massacred! Protect and serve baby.
As someone who works in law enforcement, I can say this officer hit the nail on the head. Yes, his officers are probably well trained and have a good head on their shoulders. Unfortunately, we have many that are not trained well and are sitting through the active shooter classes wondering what they are going to have for lunch. All the SRO's I have had contact with are very good at communicating with the student body, are very personable, and their overall demeanor is somewhat different than the officers working the streets. What happened in Uvalde was a catastrophic error. Only the incident commander can answer why he made the decision to stand down. It makes me sick to think about the children in that classroom who were calling 911, or already having been shot, quite possibly laying there bleeding out. It's pretty universal now as to what needs to be done if ANY officer comes across this situation. Eliminate the shooter. I know in my heart I would not hesitate to respond and do just that. If ANY LE personnel have to think one tenth of a second about whether they would RUN TOWARDS an active shooter situation, hand in your badge and gear and resign. You make us all look bad.
I agree, and most of the SRO's I have met tend to build good relationships with students. If they don't, they shouldn't be there. If they build that relationship they would do everything in their power to save their students. However, this isn't the only solution. The SRO is target #1 and is likely to get gunned down before they can stop the shooter.
@@officernasty2648 An unfortunate reality. When they started to become a thing at my school, we shared one that was there because the local police department didn't want him doing other things. I just hoped this changed since then, and unfortunately I guess I am wrong.
Nobody wants to make a bad decision that results in anyone getting killed especially when it comes to children but A decision had to be made fast and unfortunately he didn't have enough experience to make the right decision. Unbelievable!
The resource officers I had growing up were the least competent officers in the force. We had a gentleman well over 300lbs and a female who was about 5’1 110. This position needs to be taken seriously. And the officers highly trained.
Lol ok easy for you to say that on the internet. They were in a tough spot, no excuse for not going in but they thought that they were dealing with a situation that was completely different from the reality
I’m from Colorado and and a mother of a murdered child this happened at Columbine High School the police stood outside while kids were being murdered I can’t understand why none of those man that claim to be police officers that are to protect why make sorry accuses for not going in. I can’t understand how they stood out there and listened to him shooting those babies they definitely ain’t protesters not one of those cops are heroes not one. The cop here in Boulder Colorado that got shot in the Kingsoopers shooting was a hero he ran in there knowing he could die but that did not stop him he sacrificed himself to help and protect it breaks my heart that they did not help those babies I don’t know how they can sleep at night.
If you remember Columbine you'd also remember at least one of the "victims" was shot by a rifle in the front while fleeing the school. He had on a black jacket, and a police sniper shot him.
Woman in West Virginia used her pistol to stop a gunman and saved countless lives. Maybe she can give some lessons in courage to the Uvalde Police. Just sayin.
@@nelsonvega3444 But I guess standing around is better...she might have died. But she might have give those children a chance. Neither one of us can say whether she would have nor not been successful. However, I know this...doing nothing will not change the situation.
The local police for Uvalde, were recently trained for an active shooter scenario. Did they all pass or failed that class? Were they trained by a professional? Was the trainer paid for that job?
The Spineless cowards armed officers are just collecting a paycheck pension health benefits they can care less about serving and protecting the community SPINELESS COWARD ARMED OFFICERS HEARD THE CRIES OF BABIES AND DID NOTHING KIDS WERE KILLED SCREAMING FOR HELP DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
Countries that don't have America's idiot Second Amendment gun saturation don't need armed school resource officers. Getting murdered by gunfire in school is an American phenomena. When was the last school mass shooting in Australia, Japan, the UK, etc.? World to USA: "Keep your Second Amendment; we'll keep safe instead."
If that's the case I would have to assume since it's a small town they were complacent and assumed it would never happen there so their training was a go through the motion/check the box situation. Another thing that happens with training when the attitude is "this won't happen" or "we know how to do this and find the fact we're being made to do it is insulting to our egos" the trainees will bitch and moan about it being a waste of time while they could be out doing "real" work or home enjoying time off. Just my 2 cents from having spent 20 years training soldiers and the more common type of complaint I would encounter when complaints were voiced. In the Army however I would very much impress upon them the fact you're a soldier 24/7 and you owe your fellow soldiers and the taxpayers every ounce of effort because once shit goes down its too fucking late and when it goes bad and you blew your chance to become proficient the blood will be on your hands.
As a teacher, there has not been a day where I’m not thinking about the kids killed, the survivors, the parents, the teachers, the community….. I look at my class and think it doesn’t matter if I have the door locked or barricaded. There’s two huge windows on each side of the clumsy portable. I think of my students when they’re working and think how sad that these little creatures have to worry about bad men at their school.
Same. I hate hearing that teachers did this wrong or that wrong. They actually did everything to prepare for that scenario but there are so many variables to control. Politicians in Texas are all about providing bandaid solutions because they don't want to face the real issue.
Teachers get saddled with more and more layers of new responsibilities every year. At the same time they get little respect, are blamed for everything that goes wrong, and end up being the whipping boys for students, parents and administrators. I’m surprised so many teachers are still willing to stay in the profession.
@@dr.g3860 resigned this year after 10 years for all these reasons. I signed up to teach. Not to run from trainers with nerf guns. Not to practice hiding and baricading my door.
“Pictures on the police departments Facebook page show that they had held ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILLS just days before the shootings.. the officers took part in a course where they are taught: TIME IS THE #1 ENEMY during active shooter response And that an active shooter scene first responders will usually be required to put themselves in harms way. And display UNCOMMON ACTS OF COURAGE. And yet that’s not at all what happened. People where just letting kids be slaughtered.
Border patrol who ignored the orders to not go in and did and killed the shooter he needs a medal of honor. Thank you border patrol for being brave and saving a lot more children that could have died. 🙏👏❤️
It was a team of Border Control tactical officers , and they waited 30 minutes before they ignored the order , so I’m not sure if a Medal of Honor is needed. Considering at that point 98% of the people in the classroom was dead.
@@thunderslap21 If they can ignore the order after 30 minutes and go in ; they could have ignored the order after 30 seconds and went in. I also doubt a Border Control team is going to fear the authority of a school district chief of police; which is essentially a glorified title for a supervisor.

I'm not taking anything away from this officer but no one knows what they're capable of until the moment that it's asked of them. The Resource Officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas ran and hid during the shooting, plenty of cops (and soldiers) have frozen at that crucial moment - There is no way a single "Resource Officer" would be able to handle my old jr high, much less high school... and this was 30yrs ago. With the constant cuts made to our educators' pay, MORE kids in the classroom (30 wasn't uncommon in the early 90s) and soc-media prompting ever more outrageous stunts, I have to wonder how many officers are required for a single jr/sr high school. Just how many school shootings have the officers prevented?

She ends the call when another student tells her to hang up. 12:21: Ramos still firing and slaughtering 4th graders 12:36: Sixth 911 call: The initial caller in classroom 112 calls and is told to stay on the line and be very quiet. She says: “He shot the door.” 12:43: She asks 911 to “please send the police now.” 12:46: She says she can hear the police outside the door. 12:50: Officers got a set of keys from a janitor, unlocked the classroom door and then killed Ramos. 19 police officers need to be arrested and charged with aiding and abetting
Except they did not unlock the door as we now know. The border patrol agent who lived in Uvalde and whose wife taught at Robb elementary and his daughter was a student there, kicked the door in and then he shot the murderer with his shotgun followed by other officers. The border patrol officer had no body armour and no special weapons. Unlike all the other cops standing around. Listening to kids die. The DPS spokesman lied from day one. And now they're trying to mitigate the lawsuit damaged with their spin.

Leaked audio on Reddit shows the interactions between police. They were counting bullets and waiting for a pause. They suspected he had a 13 round clip at first but when he kept shooting he told the other officers to hold back. Essentially they were waiting for a pause for reload. But this guy was able to shoot and reload at the same time with his two rifles. 180 shots were fired while the police were in the hall. 346 total bullets including the 20 for the border patrol shot at him when they arrived
This guy is a police officer that I would gladly support. I wish there were more that follow his code of ethics and behavior. I hope and wish he is protected and safe doing his job.
@@torontocitizen6802 wrong. The man who shot the shooter was getting his haircut at the time when his wife who was working at the school texted him. Dude got up, noticed he didn’t have a gun… Got a shotgun from the barber who was cutting his hair… Jumped in his car and within 18 minutes of that text message, he was rushing on scene past the police barricade and ended up engaging the shooter with two other border patrol agents that showed up in the area. How is it perfectly reasonable to expect this from a border patrol agent and not a police officer?
True. Unfortunately, the Texas Legislature's priority is that Seal Team Six wannabes should be allowed to indulge their assault weapon fantasies. That absurd priority comes before the safety of Texas school children and the Texas public in general.
Wrong!!! The first line of defense is politicians that pass laws to protect you. Not ones that put you in greater harm. Hard to protect someone when you make money by putting them in harms way with your policies.
@@MrMatt531 35 sitting Republican Congressmen currently make money every quarter from the NRA. This money is to keep the gun laws as relaxed as possible. When shooting happen people buy more guns and ammo. Then these same Congressmen get bonuses for the work of keeping the laws slacked. Thus more shooting, more campaigns contributions. This is quite literally blood money. That's why they refuse to pass gun law or even hear them. It's because the money they get. Outweighs the value of your life.

The School Resource Officer was not even around to help the victims. Since it was only 2 days of School left he was just hanging out during whatever was NOT his job duty
Need to ask these SROs if they think A) they can provide anything like comprehensive protection from a determined shooter B) whether arming your typical school teachers is going to make anyone safer. I can definitively say after working in a HS for a dozen years that they are ridiculous assertions. Don’t get me wrong our SROs were my friends and all were decent, honorable, caring people but they aren’t supermen/superwomen. And teacher are generally decent people but growing up hunting and being fairly familiar with firearms there’s no way in hell handing a firearm to the vast majority of teachers is safe for anyone…just an abysmally stupid idea…simply desperate flailing instead of logic.
You don't think teachers can be taught to properly handle a firearm? Look at what Albuquerque nm has done to protect their students. That is a success story. No shootings where the nutjob knows there will be force directed back at them. I guarantee either of those two teachers in uvalde would have given ANYTHING to have a gun to kill that madman before they let him just murder them all. Nothing is perfect but we must fight back. Unfortunately, force is all these criminals understand.
These teachers have to lock doors, hide kids , switch off lights, quieten kids. Expecting them to go one to one with a killer who is likely armed to the hilt AR15 and body armor is unrealistic and wishful thinking. The brave armed security guard in Buffalo who tried to intervene was shot by the killer RIP.
Correction, school resource officers are the Childrens first interaction with Americas prison pipeline. When they say they aren't, try and remember that police are trained to lie, and the supreme court has affirmed that this practice is absolutely legal.
That’s 10000% not the case. (at least not everywhere). I have 100% witnessed the School to Prison Pipeline firsthand in different districts across the country. Sadly, as we sit here in 2024, there are still school districts that have officers in schools that have NO business being near a school, let alone working as an SRO. The FIRST MISCONCEPTION is that just because a police officer works inside a school, means that makes them an SRO!😳 That couldn’t be farther from the truth. It absolutely is NOT. What makes an SRO is PROPER SELECTION of the person. Selecting someone who is more concerned about kids becoming successful adults other than just a “qualified” or “willing” to be a police officer inside a school. It takes a special type of person. The best police officer there is out on the street can be the worst officer there is inside of a school. And it can be difficult . The folks like me aren’t super common, but they do exist! This is why selection is so important. But in a close second is TRAINING. Not just law enforcement training, but SPECIALIZED TRAINING to work with and around kids. Recognizing certain behaviors, learning about autism, ADHD, and just being TRAUMA informed! To your point, there are sadly still school districts across this country that aren’t doing anything more than a “checking a box” that they have a badge and a gun in the school. As if that makes me feel better in my child’s school. Uh NO. So ask questions. As a parent you absolutely have the right to know what kind of Officer is in your child’s school. But I say this, if your child isn’t coming home and talking about their SRO at their school in a good way, then you probably don’t have what you should inside the school! Force the school to make that change!! Law Enforcement should be one of the smallest parts of the job of an SRO.
I've only had negative experiences with the SRO my kids have had. My kids have Autism and they would have the SRO walk one of them around when he was upset, telling him to ignore the bullying he was enduring. When I had to file a police report about one very specific death threat a kid made the SRO tried to talk me out of making it. I didn't want to make it either, but better to make one than not and have them miss a kid in crisis.
The only thing that stops a bad gun with a gun is 21 good guys with a gun Two willing to do what it takes. 19 quivering in a hallway waiting to be told to go get donuts
Was there a school resource officer assigned to this campus (what does the district org chart reveal)? If so, what do the minimum required qualifications and position description reveal? If so, who is the incumbent to the position? If so, what is the training profile of the incumbent? If so, does the school resource officer have any other concomitant assignment/duties? Was the school resource office not "on duty" (not on paid time) or not present at the location (on paid time, but somewhere else)? ... and explain whichever is the better answer.
Can somebody tell me something: If bad guys are going to break the law regardless of if something is illegal, then why do we have laws against murder and shoplifting? They will just break them anyways, so why even try?
School resource officers are only for applying criminal charges to what should be school discipline. In case after case, they are shown to be absolutely useless in protecting children. Putting SROs in schools was the worst idea ever applied to schools.
I'm from the UK, we don't have police or even security in schools. I've always been confused why these officers are stationed in US schools. Your comments made more sense, is this their explicit reason for being in schools or is there a pretense they like to peddel out to hide their true agenda?
Imagine if we had schools that didn't need "resource officers", bulletproof glass, locked doors, teachers with guns, like EVERY other western nation, because... wait for it... EVERY SINGLE GUN IS REGISTERED AND TRACKED. The US has 41% of all the WORLDS personal firearms. The US has over 400,000,000 guns, with less than half registered. Switzerland is the only country comparable to the US in this regard. Just about every citizen has been trained, no one can leave the house with a loaded gun (ammo and gun must be seperate and secured), and if not, be prepared to be stopped 100 times and questioned on your way to the shooting range... also huge background checks where they interview your parents, second grade teacher, and you get personally signed off by the President of Switzerland. The US now has states with "constitutional carry", which means NO ONE can question you having a gun. You do not have to have a license/permit, registration, and the gun can be locked and loaded ready to go. Switzerland had it's last mass shooting over 35 years ago, and 3 people died. Switzerland even has a huge annual 3 day beer and gun festival, where every one there is walking around with guns. The US is now less free than Switzerland because we have to lock down and fortify schools, churches, theaters, concerts, grocery stores, etc...

@@nelsonvega3444 It truly is a sad day in america but that is the only way to protect children. Gun free zones are like a magnet to these wackos. Just having the threat of someone on staff able to defend the kids will be enough to deter these punks.
Good interview. Thanks for adding some context and giving this officer a chance to address general questions about the role these officers play in schools.
I remember our resource officer. He was the best!!! Other than the badge you didn't tell he was a police officer. We never saw his gun and he wore professional outfit, not a uniform. He knew all us kids and would eat lunch with us. Then again this was over 20 years ago.
Ours was a complete idiot. He always wore his tactical vest and bullet proof vest on top of his uniform, I guess so we knew he had a bullet proof vest and we could see some of his extra magazines and clips for his guns. Half the time I saw him his rifle was hung over his shoulder as he acted important and hit on underage girls all day...
A SRO like this gentleman could have made a big difference in Texas. Even though the shooter had an automatic weapon, he talks about running toward the danger to save the lives of students. This is where training and experience should take over. In the case of an active shooter, the hope is that officers will react accordingly to eliminate any threat that puts members of the school community in harm's way. There have already been many questions about whether or not this was done in Uvalde. It remains to be seen if this issue will be dealt with honestly or covered up by 'active investigations' of police examining the actions of other police.
@@RONPEE-STINGER Investigators found one of the suspect's AR15-style rifles, manufactured by Daniel Defense, in the school, according to Texas state Sen. John Whitmire, who received a briefing from law enforcement.
Please understand the two law enforcement agencies are separate. There is UISD, Uvalde independent school district, and UPD Uvalde Police department. Two separate agencies
From what I understand the social media threat workflow is 1) A threat has to be seen or read by a user. 2) The user has to find a way to contact Social media and report it. 3) Social media contacts the police with the necessary data. Implementing a more direct notification system is a no-brainer. A keyword, pattern matching or simple ai algorithm can monitor posts and instantly report to a human response monitor or the authorities. A school resource officer is good but this is twice that I know of where they froze in fear. Not all SROs will possess the kindness and character displayed here by Mr. Craig
Social media companies profit off each click, reply, and comment. The more inflammatory the more engagement it gets, which means more money. So how do we change that profitability to enact actual change to save lives?
There was enough time for the cops to put a BOLO out on the shooter, and alert the nearby public areas of a potential shooter but nothing was done, their response is too slow; he initially shot his grandmother the police knew this and did not react quick
Why aren't we talking about before that day? Like when the kid was suspended for threatening to shoot people? Or when he cut his own face with a knife and told friends he enjoyed the pain of cutting himself? Or the weeks leading up to the shooting when he said online he wanted to shoot up a school and rape people? The cops messed up for much longer than just a single hour...
@Coco I'm talking about elementary school, we got rid of DARE after I was in middle school because it led to drug use instead of preventing it. And please don't claim "everyone has different experiences" when you just tried to gaslight people by claiming every elementary school student in your district loves SRO's. You seriously work at a school? Because I wouldn't want you teaching kids with your lazy gaslighting and hypocrisy...
@Coco but again you started by saying every elementary school student loves SRO's, then changed it when you realized you were being dumb. Scroll up instead of trying to rewrite what you did and ranting about how you're not the hypocrite here, because I'm even more worried about you being around kids if you lie and change your story this easily. And btw, you can call me out all you want but I wasn't the one between us who changed their story when they wanted to cry about their own actions above. Please call out your own hypocrisy more, it's great.😘 Our SRO btw, is in jail for child rape. So we had a reason to hate him, even if he only went after the girls in my classes. I was curious just how far you'd dig yourself in before I gave you the detail of why he was unanimously hated. Again, please tell me you're not seriously working with kids with your anger issues? Because I'd like to know where so we can get you the help you desperately need...
He's a good guy but what if he's not in the same place as a shooter.its good to have people like him who clearly make a difference to his students lifes but if somebody has a military machine gun and body armour he would probably be killed before he even had time to get his own gun out and he would just be another statistic.
1 you're not an adult so you have no real rights in school. 2 you do have to sign paperwork when you register your kid, read the fine print and you'll find all sorts of things.
anyone remember high school in the 90s no camera's no gates no security guards just a payphone in the lunch room. mid 90s fights in school started to get really bad so they put in cameras and pulled the gates in the lunchroom so we would stay. our worst fear was someone being pushed down the steps in a fight or a creepy guy in the hallway. wish our kids had the same free of fear.
I have a question. An 18 year old bought two assault rifles, a bullet proof vest, multiple magazines, and hundreds of rounds of ammo. Where did he get the money for all that? From his parents? I don't think he had a job or held one for any length of time.
Look past what happened for a second and see the obvious things he shot his grandmother no reason to rush why did he crash then teacher opens door for no reason whatsoever then after he crashed walks to school 5 minutes shooting outside then walks into school and two classrooms are open I thought teacher called about a shooter why not lock the doors then school police couldn't see him supposedly and then cop backs off the threat. It's all to many coincidence. Or maybe some more people are involved with it.
This addresses the pro more police funding people. What do you want more funding for? All around the states, the most unfit have been hired to wear a badge. A badge of honor. But not in the US. Here its a lack of honor. We have the mind set of criminals in uniform. Think of all the lawsuits against law enforcement for unlawful use of their high power weapons to harm/ kill the people in our country costing the taxpayer millions and millions of $ and you want us to pay more? Though I have believed this for awhile now but it is enforced when I saw a mother trying to go and get her child while bullets were being fired and police stood there with their thumbs up their a.. Then had the gall to handcuff her like she was the criminal. The police were the criminals. PERIOD. I feel saddened for the good cops who have to suffer because of those bad cops. "no more funding the cops".
Most countries don’t have School Resource Officers because the children are NOT at risk of being shot. The “fortify our schools” discussion is ridiculous. Fix your gun obsession America.
But I thought we only needed "A Good Guys With a Gun" (There were over a dozen of them there for over an hour.) or Grandma with an Glock, AK-47 or Oozie and a wheelchair holster.
There’s something deeply wrong with your whole country if you even need police officers in schools. Where I live the police school liaison officer will probably visit around 30 schools , they give talks on drug/alcohol abuse, internet and road safety and are a friendly face for the kids to approach if they’re worried about something. The rest of their time, they’re just normal cops.
It use to be that way years ago.... But not anymore, what All schools need right now... armed security ,metal detectors at two entrances, and classrooms that don't lock. But people will bitch " these are schools not prisons!" Something needs to be done, we need to do better in this Country.
Because Chuck Schumer gets reelected every single year by promising his constituents that he will ban certain rifles and weapons that he and his political friends have deemed as the real enemy
One news report said the police could have gone to the windows on the side of the room with the barricaded/locked door instead of waiting for a key. They could have fired at the shooter early on and been heroes. RE: The armed LE misdirecting their energy on the parents...Well, I have a TRO against a psycho neighbor in SoCal which prevents him from having ANY contact with me, a 73 disabled woman in a wheelchair. When I called the CCPD for the 1st violation the rookie officer talked to me thru his window of his SUV telling me "I" would have to perform a Citizen's Arrest because he didn't see the violation! I told him NO Thank You + he left. The 2nd one that who arrived for another TRO violation said he'd "never seen or read a TRO"! (Temporary Restraint Order) He took a brief look at the Court Order, fixated on the "5 yards distance" the Defendant was to stay away from us...and got a rolling device from his SUV and proceeded to measure 15 feet to show us the perp had been 2 feet outside that distance.(!) He failed to read or correctly interpret the Order that states the Restrained Person is to ".. have NO CONTACT with the Protected Person(s)." I recorded the part where he got angry with us (both73) at wasting his time when it seemed he might take us in! I wanted to correct him but didn't want to be arrested. I called the Non-Emergency number and was told to leave a message for the Watch Commander, who didn't answer and never called me back. These Orders are given for the Victim's safety; lives could be lost if they fail to execute on the Order. We had to endure more harassment, stalking, sexual predatory words + actions, etc. for another six days until the Hearing. The fact that a Judge would grant the temporary order shows they were convinced the victim was in danger for their life. That the police let the perp go just emboldens him more and leaves the victim quaking in their boots, fearful 24/7 for their life & safety. In my case I've started having severe chest pain and exhaustion from not sleeping. This is not Serve & Protect. Best wishes + prayers to all the families + community affected by this tragedy, Cathy in California 🧓 🙏 🌌
Wow. I'm very sorry for your situation. I've experienced similar negativity from some of the LE here in the Stockton/Lodi area. It sounds like you have good documentation and at least one judge that understands the situation. Thinking out loud, I wonder if you could sue them for some sort of dereliction of duty, or something. Unfortunately, it often seems like the only thing these departments understand is financial damages. Your situation is something anyone outside of those officers would agree is a serious problem, those officers need to go. Also, you need to be able to be safe. I hope you're able to get help with this for yours and your community's sake.
There were a lot of slip-ups in this situation mostly on the part of the police this whole situation makes me very sad because more could have been done🤔
The killer fired over a hundred rounds with an AR15 in the first few minutes so the children he shot would be dead or past saving because of the extent of the injuries. The officer in charge seemed to assess that all the children were dead and they were dealing with a barricaded suspect rather than an active shooter. I don't understand how they made this assessment.
@@sands7779 I have a much darker question for these cops, why did this killer talk about raping children and school shootings on social media the past few months? Why did no one report him, and also why wasn't he reported for making threats at school of shooting it up? They had warning signs for years, and nothing was ever done to get this kid into therapy or onto a restricted list for firearms at least for a couple years until he'd grown up a little.
He's right. A good resource officer shows a good school culture. I asked our local middle school what they do about bullying. Their answer was "we don't have that problem here". So we attended a different school that had active school-wide consistent policies that were research based and very successful. They had an excellent resource person (non public-safety) they made a real difference.
SRO's are step 1 on the school to prison pipeline. He states that their job is to be "a mentor, counselor, teacher" if that is the case, where do the jobs of the teachers fit in? In the schools that I attended, the SROs were deeply delusional in thinking that they were regarded as friends or respected, as they managed to create that illusion by creating a culture of fear. It was very easy to get on their "sh*t list" by not smiling warmly at them or laughing at their pathetic jokes. Although I never threatened or caused trouble in school in any way, my high school SRO told me that I was on his "usual suspects" list and was "interviewed" four different times about events I had absolutely nothing to do with. I graduated from high school with a 3.9 GPA, all I ever wanted was to keep my head down, study, and finish school without getting in trouble because I didn't want to kiss the SROs' boots on a daily basis. I was more afraid of the SROs than any of the other kids or anything that ever happened at school.
There are a lot of Resource Officers who mistake their job for one to only keep kids in order. Many school staff expects that too. They drag kids from class for not behaving. Yes, kids need to follow rules, but we have all seen videos of kids being ruffed up. School resource officers need to be chosen well.
So a cop in every school is just accepted as normal life in the US now? Patrolling and investigating teenagers like it's some righteous duty? Twisted system /smh
Wondering really how prepared this officer is? Does he have body armor, protective helmet, bullet proof shield, a good enough weapon to go up against an assault rifle? He infers he's prepared. I'm not sure.
I have an honest question if somebody could please answer... Why does CNN seemingly never cover anything about our economy or about our ongoing border crisis or the incredible inflation that we are all suffering through right now, soaring gas prices, Hunters laptop or even record breaking murder numbers in major cities?! These are all things that affect every American every single day. It just seems that 90% of the content on here is Russia Ukraine China and Trump. NOTE.... my heart goes out to every single one of the family members and loved ones from the tragedy in Uvalde Texas.
They actually DO talk about inflation, gas prices, etc and WHY those things are happening (they have nothing to do with Biden, those things are happening worldwide). There is no crisis at the border, things slowed down during Covid and have picked up again. They have talked about Hunter but basically NO ONE CARES because no one voted for him. Unlike Trump Biden does not allow his family to run the country. Hunter is a non-issue. And yes, they do talk about high murder rates and why they happen, the biggest issue is mental health and guess who doesn't want to spend money offering mental health service? The GOP.
@@lacee7494 they don't talk about it lol.... they are so obsessed with Trump because they're scared of him, they know what's going to happen come this November and November 2024.... so it's all hands on deck again to stop Orange man bad. And if you truly think that Hunter Biden and the contents of his laptop or a non-issue you are literally part of the problem...... literal corruption at the highest level is what is on Hunter Biden's laptop and just because you don't know about it now or because it hasn't been released to the public yet doesn't mean it's not there oh, it's being hidden and swept under the rug from the top... just wait till the GOP gets back the Senate and the house and see what comes of this laptop, then please for the love of everything that is holy come back and talk to me....PLEASE REMEMBER ME!! And finally if you chose to keep reading, everything starts and ends with Biden when it comes to our economy right now. From day one in the office he started signing executive orders that have had our economy in a downward spiral ever since... please do your own research on that
Hunter' s laptop affects Americans? 😄😄😄 . By the way CNN covers the economy, inflation, gas prices etc.EVERY DAY. You just don't listen. Also those are WORLWIDE problems, not caused by Biden or the Democrats, no matter how much you whiners like to pretend It does. Just the fact that you put in that completely irrelevant nonsense about Hunters laptop!!!! shows what a doofus you are.
I think this guy knows the value of developing trust relationships with students. I am not sure why resource officers are not required to stay in the school premises during school hours. Maybe the propped door would have been discovered. Nothing was mentioned as to why it was propped open???? That is security neglect!!!!
Apparently, a teacher stepped out to get something from their car so they propped the door open to be able to get back in. I cannot imagine what that teacher is feeling right now…
Do we not have the technology to monitor doors for God's sake? An alarm should have gone off in the school office that f'ng teacher blocked that door open! How does he/she sleep nights? And in town where everyone knows each other, how is it no one knew about this kid, and how in hell does a gun shop sell two AR-15 s and more ammo than an active marine carries in war to an 18 year old? If I owned a gun shop, it would be my requirement you pass a background check before I sold you a gun. Common sense! Why are gun people so clues and have no common sense?
@ What the f' has make up got to do with anything? What do we know about this kid? This town prides itself on everyone knowing each other.A simple monitor on a door. they have them everywhere. Try walking out a door at Walmart that is for emergencies! The tech is not that expensive. Gun Shop owner should have seen a red flag, but all he saw was a nice juicy gun purchase! Hypothetically, would the police response have been any different if this was a white population? Cops were great at crowd control and lousy at responding appropriately. What pisses me off are cops that do not support a ban on assault style military guns. That was there excuse for not going in!
@ not true. I work with people who live with mental health issues. Alarms on doors/ windows are not expensive and work very well ....

@@ynotaz The cops didn't go in because they thought all the kids were dead after 400 rounds had been discharged by the shooter. The cops did not know there were kids inside calling 911. The gun seller is not a shrink and not qualified to determine shit other than the thorough background check the kid passed. The technology will not help when teachers prop doors open. The fact that women no longer sit on the porch and gossip about everybody is why the psycho kids go unchecked and unchallenged, nobody is paying attention. No gun law can change this. You'd be trading in guns and get bombs in exchange. One thing is for sure, this shit didn't happen when the population was 90% white.
Schools could have a volunteer group of parents. I would volunteer to protect a school. My kids are grown. Background checks and unpaid. I up for it 2 days a week.
Seriously, guns are a reflex, it's time to rethink people getting weapons that can kill many. No one needs a machine gun. A single shot weapons that needed refilling would not have kills so many people. In the 1950's did you know the number one problem for teachers was gum? There is a problem in our society, and it might be because mom and dad work jobs outside of the home, and are very tired.
Where is the interview with the Resource Officer who failed at the school??? I want to hear from THAT officer!!!!
it would be a bunch of lies and bs.
How is it exactly that he failed? I didn’t think he was on duty at that time. Cops were already on the scene when he arrived back at the school
@@nicolemiller8314 I noted that too! He was in a vehicle driving around if you look at the timeline it WAS around lunchtime I am NOT defending him, he drove right past the shooter when shots were already fired so I’m assuming he was told and rushed back? I’m just saying I don’t think mass shooters schedule regular “lunch breaks” but I have to disagree with you that he is also at fault.and shouldn’t he have a master key for the whole school given they had to find a janitor and borrow his key to get in.
Now, theres the million dollar question.
@@maileannlouie I agree with the officer having a right to a luch/bathroom break and someone mentioned (not sure if it’s true) that Uvalde only has 4 officers for 10 schools. Anyway, all schools I’ve worked in the following people have master keys to all the rooms in the schools: principal, vice principal, secretaries, nurse, janitors (never chatted with the Sri but I’m sure he had one too) in addition to all those that had master keys, there was a back room where the janitor could just make more master keys in the school.
I avoided our school resource officer like the plague, his nickname was Farva and if you haven't seen Super Troopers you won't get the joke. Seriously, the thought of that cop supposedly running into an active shooter situation blows my mind. He was only there to hit on underage girls, and act like he was the baddest MFer on campus. So I have a hard time believing he'd do anything to save lives...
I've had a similar experience as a teacher. Had one good one, though.
Reality meets moronic political blah blah “ideas”
I can recall a news story from before the pandemic that is a mirror image of what you say, this guy was showing off and his weapon discharged, fortunately no one was hurt but it's a glaring example of why it's wrong to militarize the school.
I know the officer at my kids school here in Ohio he wouldn't do sh**
Bro one of the officer's at our school hits on the girls too
If the teachers protect their children using their body and those officers fully geared with armors and trained cannot protect the children, those officers do not deserve the job our taxes are paying for. Find another job.
How did they get their jobs? Who did they know? How many are related?
good ole boys
The lawsuits need to start flying
They all should be fired for not performing their duties. It's against policies and procedures and they should all be fired. They all literally FAILED at the least of the job description. Cowardice is no excuse. If a fireman refuse to go in a burning building to save lives because they are More concerned about their own safety that's also failure to perform duties. My point is if you're not up to the job change your career. Your cowardice is literally getting people killed.
well said!
Ever job has a component that we always hate but are paid for that function. If the Uvalde cops are too afraid to do their job because they are afraid of the potential of being shot. Find another job. One teacher even used her body as a human shield, to protect the children, getting killed in her bravery.
And the little girl dialled 911 several times.... He murdered her too. 😢😢🙏🙏
Their own protocol even says to find another job if they’re not willing to go in solo; even if another officer was shot

They'll keep lying about anything they can get away with, and will revise they story about the things they can't get away with.

That means your starting to wake up to reality. Cops enforce laws, NOT protect citizens.
Having a harder time believe the media. Aren't they supposed to investigate? Why the lack of curiosity and reporting?
It may surpise my friends in the US, but my kids and grandkids attended or today attend schools in E Africa, the UK, Australia, and Canada, at which a "school resource officer" would be assumed to be someone who supervised school supplies. The idea of a uniformed, armed policeman at school would be absurd to them.
The absurd has to become the norm for a society to accept this bull sht

it wouldn't have been "against orders", a federal agent outranks a local cop every day of the week, when the feds show up they take over (although honestly even the local cops should have taken action without getting "permissions")
So rather than addressing the root of the problem, we're supposed to have multiple armed officers at every school, church, grocery store, movie theater, Walmart, etc? How is that not a police state?
because the morons believe that as long as they have their guns then they are "free". So even as we slide into a facistic police state they will believe they are free because they have an AR-15. . . .
…but, capitalism…it sells more guns. That’s been the constant refrain of the NRA. And is today. Their sole concern is how to turn a shooting into a sales pitch. It resulted with the “good guys with guns” dithering outside listening to gunshots, yelling at mothers and handcuffing one.

My personal experience with school resource officers is negative. Saw them and their rent-a-cops tackle kids who tried to skip school. Never talked to us or helped anyone, even when there were threats of violence against the student body.
Resource officers usually like to threaten kids
When I was in high school one of the school cops was my great aunt, and I loved her a lot but she was an old woman and certainly not up to dealing with something serious like this.
Most of America's problems start at the kitchen table.
@@Tyrone950 and societal pressure from the outside bro come on now as someone who grew up very poor yes the problem was with my mother not being a caretaker but at the same time that doesn't give the right to everybody else to abused the child for the parents mistakes
There are plenty of videos that support that. So many of them are just bullies on power trips. Resource officers should have mandated child psychology and teaching classes
WHY? Why do USA schools need a resource officer?
Why doing something to try to make the problem less worse instead of doing what every other country has done and remove the problem it self?
And no, we're not talking about taking all guns away. We're talking about not letting 18year olds buy AR-15's, we're talking about actual getting trained in weapons and weapon safety, we're talking about delay's in getting guns and actual background checks that are more than checking a name against an out dated partial database. You know, sensible stuff.
What age should people be allowed to buy guns?
Let's cut to the chase,in my view as a Republican piece of 💩 we only have one option,arm all kids,glocks and body armour for everyone,sniper nests on school roofs,teachers get AR15s.
Hardened sandbag entrances aren't too expensive so all this talk about silly ol common sense gun control which has worked everywhere else is crazy.
Opinion paid for by the NRA.
Thank you xxx very very very soul destroying... something must be done on the laws for weapons of so much destruction where parents have to give DNA to identify their child's bodies which were shot to bits ...blood on all your hands who do not amend these laws.
Unfortunately in our constitution the 2nd amendment, applies to all adults and in the US 18 year olds are adults.
And look at those countries now. Forced lock downs, the governments wanting more control over more things and breaking up peaceful and lawful protest like in Canada. Look at countries like China they have no way to fight against governmental tyranny. Its never a good idea to give up ways to protect your self. Look at Ukraine. They gave up their nukes and now they have been invaded by the same country who said they would protect them if the gave them up.
We are so proud of our brave police officers! These valiant public servants sprang into action. For over an hour they confronted parents, handcuffing terrified mothers, pepper sprayed defiant fathers wanting to interfere with the shooter and thwarted those pesky Border Patrol agents horning in on their turf - all while their kids were being massacred!

As someone who works in law enforcement, I can say this officer hit the nail on the head. Yes, his officers are probably well trained and have a good head on their shoulders. Unfortunately, we have many that are not trained well and are sitting through the active shooter classes wondering what they are going to have for lunch. All the SRO's I have had contact with are very good at communicating with the student body, are very personable, and their overall demeanor is somewhat different than the officers working the streets. What happened in Uvalde was a catastrophic error. Only the incident commander can answer why he made the decision to stand down. It makes me sick to think about the children in that classroom who were calling 911, or already having been shot, quite possibly laying there bleeding out. It's pretty universal now as to what needs to be done if ANY officer comes across this situation. Eliminate the shooter. I know in my heart I would not hesitate to respond and do just that. If ANY LE personnel have to think one tenth of a second about whether they would RUN TOWARDS an active shooter situation, hand in your badge and gear and resign. You make us all look bad.
I agree, and most of the SRO's I have met tend to build good relationships with students. If they don't, they shouldn't be there. If they build that relationship they would do everything in their power to save their students. However, this isn't the only solution. The SRO is target #1 and is likely to get gunned down before they can stop the shooter.
My niece's husband was demoted to sro over vehicle accidents. Criteria for a sro is all over the place.
@@officernasty2648 An unfortunate reality. When they started to become a thing at my school, we shared one that was there because the local police department didn't want him doing other things. I just hoped this changed since then, and unfortunately I guess I am wrong.
Literally not the first time cops sat around while children were being killing a school.
Nobody wants to make a bad decision that results in anyone getting killed especially when it comes to children but A decision had to be made fast and unfortunately he didn't have enough experience to make the right decision. Unbelievable!
The resource officers I had growing up were the least competent officers in the force. We had a gentleman well over 300lbs and a female who was about 5’1 110. This position needs to be taken seriously. And the officers highly trained.
No, officer, NO , I disagree with you. This situation is not unspeakable anymore.

Lol ok easy for you to say that on the internet. They were in a tough spot, no excuse for not going in but they thought that they were dealing with a situation that was completely different from the reality
I’m from Colorado and and a mother of a murdered child this happened at Columbine High School the police stood outside while kids were being murdered I can’t understand why none of those man that claim to be police officers that are to protect why make sorry accuses for not going in. I can’t understand how they stood out there and listened to him shooting those babies they definitely ain’t protesters not one of those cops are heroes not one. The cop here in Boulder Colorado that got shot in the Kingsoopers shooting was a hero he ran in there knowing he could die but that did not stop him he sacrificed himself to help and protect it breaks my heart that they did not help those babies I don’t know how they can sleep at night.

Countries that don't have America's idiot Second Amendment gun saturation don't need armed school resource officers. Getting murdered by gunfire in school is an American phenomena. When was the last school mass shooting in Australia, Japan, the UK, etc.? World to USA: "Keep your Second Amendment; we'll keep safe instead."
If that's the case I would have to assume since it's a small town they were complacent and assumed it would never happen there so their training was a go through the motion/check the box situation. Another thing that happens with training when the attitude is "this won't happen" or "we know how to do this and find the fact we're being made to do it is insulting to our egos" the trainees will bitch and moan about it being a waste of time while they could be out doing "real" work or home enjoying time off. Just my 2 cents from having spent 20 years training soldiers and the more common type of complaint I would encounter when complaints were voiced. In the Army however I would very much impress upon them the fact you're a soldier 24/7 and you owe your fellow soldiers and the taxpayers every ounce of effort because once shit goes down its too fucking late and when it goes bad and you blew your chance to become proficient the blood will be on your hands.
As a teacher, there has not been a day where I’m not thinking about the kids killed, the survivors, the parents, the teachers, the community…..

I think of my students when they’re working and think how sad that these little creatures have to worry about bad men at their school.

Same. I hate hearing that teachers did this wrong or that wrong. They actually did everything to prepare for that scenario but there are so many variables to control. Politicians in Texas are all about providing bandaid solutions because they don't want to face the real issue.
Teachers get saddled with more and more layers of new responsibilities every year. At the same time they get little respect, are blamed for everything that goes wrong, and end up being the whipping boys for students, parents and administrators. I’m surprised so many teachers are still willing to stay in the profession.

I’m disappointed in these so called Texans and this is the reason most of us don’t leave the house without 2A I’m not waiting on nobody to save me or mine I’m especially not gonna put all my trust in police since allegedly not worth having!
We have 1 police officer and 2 security officers at our school. The 2 security officers were fired for have inappropriate relationships with students.
That's probably the ONLY reason resource officers and school security guards exist in schools to hit on students and teachers!
Complete failure, no one has been fired, resigned, or been arrested. What does this mean? Should it begin from the very top? We all know that the very top wants to sadly continue the failures. It’s not difficult to see what’s happening.

I'm not taking anything away from this officer but no one knows what they're capable of until the moment that it's asked of them. The Resource Officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas ran and hid during the shooting, plenty of cops (and soldiers) have frozen at that crucial moment - There is no way a single "Resource Officer" would be able to handle my old jr high, much less high school... and this was 30yrs ago. With the constant cuts made to our educators' pay, MORE kids in the classroom (30 wasn't uncommon in the early 90s) and soc-media prompting ever more outrageous stunts, I have to wonder how many officers are required for a single jr/sr high school.
Just how many school shootings have the officers prevented?
The simple idea of a police force for schools is completely unimaginable to me as an Aussie.
Just wow!
Schools with SRO's have a greater chance of having an active shooter incident. Not sure if it's cause or effect.
Why border patrol took orders to stand down from school police is beyond me. You tell those cowards to get the hell out of the way and go do your job.
I recommend every SRO be married and station in the school their children attend to take their job seriously.

Classrooms shouldn't be able to be locked. That it of it self could've made a difference. I agree with you
Except they did not unlock the door as we now know. The border patrol agent who lived in Uvalde and whose wife taught at Robb elementary and his daughter was a student there, kicked the door in and then he shot the murderer with his shotgun followed by other officers. The border patrol officer had no body armour and no special weapons. Unlike all the other cops standing around. Listening to kids die.

Did the police in the hall try to talk to the shooter or just stand quite? Did they just stand there and wait for swat?
Leaked audio on Reddit shows the interactions between police. They were counting bullets and waiting for a pause. They suspected he had a 13 round clip at first but when he kept shooting he told the other officers to hold back. Essentially they were waiting for a pause for reload. But this guy was able to shoot and reload at the same time with his two rifles. 180 shots were fired while the police were in the hall. 346 total bullets including the 20 for the border patrol shot at him when they arrived

@@MrMatt531 35 sitting Republican Congressmen currently make money every quarter from the NRA. This money is to keep the gun laws as relaxed as possible. When shooting happen people buy more guns and ammo. Then these same Congressmen get bonuses for the work of keeping the laws slacked. Thus more shooting, more campaigns contributions. This is quite literally blood money. That's why they refuse to pass gun law or even hear them. It's because the money they get. Outweighs the value of your life.

The School Resource Officer was not even around to help the victims. Since it was only 2 days of School left he was just hanging out during whatever was NOT his job duty
Omg
They usually have more than one school they work at, ours in high school worked like 6 different schools within a few miles of our school.
Need to ask these SROs if they think A) they can provide anything like comprehensive protection from a determined shooter B) whether arming your typical school teachers is going to make anyone safer. I can definitively say after working in a HS for a dozen years that they are ridiculous assertions. Don’t get me wrong our SROs were my friends and all were decent, honorable, caring people but they aren’t supermen/superwomen. And teacher are generally decent people but growing up hunting and being fairly familiar with firearms there’s no way in hell handing a firearm to the vast majority of teachers is safe for anyone…just an abysmally stupid idea…simply desperate flailing instead of logic.

You don't think teachers can be taught to properly handle a firearm? Look at what Albuquerque nm has done to protect their students. That is a success story. No shootings where the nutjob knows there will be force directed back at them. I guarantee either of those two teachers in uvalde would have given ANYTHING to have a gun to kill that madman before they let him just murder them all. Nothing is perfect but we must fight back. Unfortunately, force is all these criminals understand.
These teachers have to lock doors, hide kids , switch off lights, quieten kids. Expecting them to go one to one with a killer who is likely armed to the hilt AR15 and body armor is unrealistic and wishful thinking. The brave armed security guard in Buffalo who tried to intervene was shot by the killer RIP.

People forget thay cops are allowed to lie, and sheriff's are elected politicians who lie all the time...
That’s 10000% not the case. (at least not everywhere). I have 100% witnessed the School to Prison Pipeline firsthand in different districts across the country. Sadly, as we sit here in 2024, there are still school districts that have officers in schools that have NO business being near a school, let alone working as an SRO. The FIRST MISCONCEPTION is that just because a police officer works inside a school, means that makes them an SRO!😳 That couldn’t be farther from the truth. It absolutely is NOT.
What makes an SRO is PROPER SELECTION of the person. Selecting someone who is more concerned about kids becoming successful adults other than just a “qualified” or “willing” to be a police officer inside a school. It takes a special type of person. The best police officer there is out on the street can be the worst officer there is inside of a school. And it can be difficult . The folks like me aren’t super common, but they do exist! This is why selection is so important. But in a close second is TRAINING. Not just law enforcement training, but SPECIALIZED TRAINING to work with and around kids. Recognizing certain behaviors, learning about autism, ADHD, and just being TRAUMA informed!
To your point, there are sadly still school districts across this country that aren’t doing anything more than a “checking a box” that they have a badge and a gun in the school. As if that makes me feel better in my child’s school. Uh NO.
So ask questions. As a parent you absolutely have the right to know what kind of Officer is in your child’s school. But I say this, if your child isn’t coming home and talking about their SRO at their school in a good way, then you probably don’t have what you should inside the school! Force the school to make that change!!
Law Enforcement should be one of the smallest parts of the job of an SRO.
That resource officer seems cool & seems to know what his job is & why he's at the school. And loves his job
He stood by while he knew a gunman ran into a school

@@eatass5627 No I'm not & he that's getting interviewed is not the 1 in Texas he's a resource officer in Indiana.
I've only had negative experiences with the SRO my kids have had. My kids have Autism and they would have the SRO walk one of them around when he was upset, telling him to ignore the bullying he was enduring. When I had to file a police report about one very specific death threat a kid made the SRO tried to talk me out of making it. I didn't want to make it either, but better to make one than not and have them miss a kid in crisis.

Imagine if we had schools that didn't need "resource officers", bulletproof glass, locked doors, teachers with guns, like EVERY other western nation, because... wait for it... EVERY SINGLE GUN IS REGISTERED AND TRACKED. The US has 41% of all the WORLDS personal firearms. The US has over 400,000,000 guns, with less than half registered. Switzerland is the only country comparable to the US in this regard. Just about every citizen has been trained, no one can leave the house with a loaded gun (ammo and gun must be seperate and secured), and if not, be prepared to be stopped 100 times and questioned on your way to the shooting range... also huge background checks where they interview your parents, second grade teacher, and you get personally signed off by the President of Switzerland. The US now has states with "constitutional carry", which means NO ONE can question you having a gun. You do not have to have a license/permit, registration, and the gun can be locked and loaded ready to go. Switzerland had it's last mass shooting over 35 years ago, and 3 people died. Switzerland even has a huge annual 3 day beer and gun festival, where every one there is walking around with guns. The US is now less free than Switzerland because we have to lock down and fortify schools, churches, theaters, concerts, grocery stores, etc...

I remember our resource officer. He was the best!!! Other than the badge you didn't tell he was a police officer. We never saw his gun and he wore professional outfit, not a uniform. He knew all us kids and would eat lunch with us. Then again this was over 20 years ago.
Ours was a complete idiot. He always wore his tactical vest and bullet proof vest on top of his uniform, I guess so we knew he had a bullet proof vest and we could see some of his extra magazines and clips for his guns. Half the time I saw him his rifle was hung over his shoulder as he acted important and hit on underage girls all day...
Every school needs a 24/7 swat unit now apparently
A SRO like this gentleman could have made a big difference in Texas. Even though the shooter had an automatic weapon, he talks about running toward the danger to save the lives of students. This is where training and experience should take over. In the case of an active shooter, the hope is that officers will react accordingly to eliminate any threat that puts members of the school community in harm's way. There have already been many questions about whether or not this was done in Uvalde. It remains to be seen if this issue will be dealt with honestly or covered up by 'active investigations' of police examining the actions of other police.

@@RONPEE-STINGER Investigators found one of the suspect's AR15-style rifles, manufactured by Daniel Defense, in the school, according to Texas state Sen. John Whitmire, who received a briefing from law enforcement.

What an insane country.
That perhaps wants to be as insane as Germany in 1933 just because we can't buy a lot of s***
From what I understand the social media threat workflow is 1) A threat has to be seen or read by a user. 2) The user has to find a way to contact Social media and report it. 3) Social media contacts the police with the necessary data.
Implementing a more direct notification system is a no-brainer. A keyword, pattern matching or simple ai algorithm can monitor posts and instantly report to a human response monitor or the authorities.

There was enough time for the cops to put a BOLO out on the shooter, and alert the nearby public areas of a potential shooter but nothing was done, their response is too slow; he initially shot his grandmother the police knew this and did not react quick

Or when he cut his own face with a knife and told friends he enjoyed the pain of cutting himself? Or the weeks leading up to the shooting when he said online he wanted to shoot up a school and rape people? The cops messed up for much longer than just a single hour...
Never in my 69 years have I seen nor heard of a gun jumping up and shooting someone.
so you never heard of an 18 year being an immature idiot? he had no business owning that gun
Sounds like a person who would do as best as possible.
Uvalde shooting proves the point that teachers should be trained and armed. You can't rely only on the police for protection.
America needing a School Resource Officer at an elementary school is SAD !!
@Coco I can't remember anyone liking any of our resource officers very much, especially when we all started doing drugs thanks to DARE.
@Coco I'm talking about elementary school, we got rid of DARE after I was in middle school because it led to drug use instead of preventing it.
And please don't claim "everyone has different experiences" when you just tried to gaslight people by claiming every elementary school student in your district loves SRO's. You seriously work at a school? Because I wouldn't want you teaching kids with your lazy gaslighting and hypocrisy...
@Coco but again you started by saying every elementary school student loves SRO's, then changed it when you realized you were being dumb. Scroll up instead of trying to rewrite what you did and ranting about how you're not the hypocrite here, because I'm even more worried about you being around kids if you lie and change your story this easily. And btw, you can call me out all you want but I wasn't the one between us who changed their story when they wanted to cry about their own actions above. Please call out your own hypocrisy more, it's great.😘
Our SRO btw, is in jail for child rape. So we had a reason to hate him, even if he only went after the girls in my classes. I was curious just how far you'd dig yourself in before I gave you the detail of why he was unanimously hated. Again, please tell me you're not seriously working with kids with your anger issues? Because I'd like to know where so we can get you the help you desperately need...
My guess is the SRO in Texas didn’t have the same relationship as officer Craig
He's a good guy but what if he's not in the same place as a shooter.its good to have people like him who clearly make a difference to his students lifes but if somebody has a military machine gun and body armour he would probably be killed before he even had time to get his own gun out and he would just be another statistic.
No one had a military machine gun. Man, you people are ignorant.
frightening level of personal privacy violations when every high school keeps a classified threat assessment dossier on every student
1 you're not an adult so you have no real rights in school.
2 you do have to sign paperwork when you register your kid, read the fine print and you'll find all sorts of things.
Now that's an officer that knows how to do his job! Well done, sir!
Would love to hear if the actual students themselves also echo his description of his role in their lives.
anyone remember high school in the 90s no camera's no gates no security guards just a payphone in the lunch room. mid 90s fights in school started to get really bad so they put in cameras and pulled the gates in the lunchroom so we would stay. our worst fear was someone being pushed down the steps in a fight or a creepy guy in the hallway. wish our kids had the same free of fear.
I have a question. An 18 year old bought two assault rifles, a bullet proof vest, multiple magazines, and hundreds of rounds of ammo. Where did he get the money for all that? From his parents? I don't think he had a job or held one for any length of time.
Probably the Biden stimulus.

He had a job at wendys he lived with his grandparents. He didn't pay any bills. I'm sure he had plenty of money.
@@Christian-di8zu
You're fkd in the head old timer.
He got them for free by buying on credit. I believe it was a murder suicide. He had no intention of living and expected police to kill him.
Finally SOMEBODY HAD COURAGE
Look past what happened for a second and see the obvious things he shot his grandmother no reason to rush why did he crash then teacher opens door for no reason whatsoever then after he crashed walks to school 5 minutes shooting outside then walks into school and two classrooms are open I thought teacher called about a shooter why not lock the doors then school police couldn't see him supposedly and then cop backs off the threat. It's all to many coincidence. Or maybe some more people are involved with it.
I think the timeline is fuzzy and will still don't know the details.
He builds rapport with the children, he has to protect his students, that's what you're suppose to do when this is the job!!
This addresses the pro more police funding people. What do you want more funding for? All around the states, the most unfit have been hired to wear a badge. A badge of honor. But not in the US. Here its a lack of honor. We have the mind set of criminals in uniform. Think of all the lawsuits against law enforcement for unlawful use of their high power weapons to harm/ kill the people in our country costing the taxpayer millions and millions of $ and you want us to pay more? Though I have believed this for awhile now but it is enforced when I saw a mother trying to go and get her child while bullets were being fired and police stood there with their thumbs up their a.. Then had the gall to handcuff her like she was the criminal. The police were the criminals. PERIOD. I feel saddened for the good cops who have to suffer because of those bad cops. "no more funding the cops".

Most countries don’t have School Resource Officers because the children are NOT at risk of being shot. The “fortify our schools” discussion is ridiculous. Fix your gun obsession America.
But I thought we only needed "A Good Guys With a Gun" (There were over a dozen of them there for over an hour.) or Grandma with an Glock, AK-47 or Oozie and a wheelchair holster.
There weren’t any good guys with guns until the border patrol entered that classroom
'An glock' 'oozie' one of like 15 legitimate biden voters spotted everyone

There’s something deeply wrong with your whole country if you even need police officers in schools. Where I live the police school liaison officer will probably visit around 30 schools , they give talks on drug/alcohol abuse, internet and road safety and are a friendly face for the kids to approach if they’re worried about something. The rest of their time, they’re just normal cops.
Those days are long gone. Today, schools need a SRO and more likely the principal, the janitor and a teacher trained and armed.
It use to be that way years ago.... But not anymore, what All schools need right now... armed security ,metal detectors at two entrances, and classrooms that don't lock. But people will bitch " these are schools not prisons!" Something needs to be done, we need to do better in this Country.
WHY did Chuck Schumer just refuse legislation to help school safety?????
Why did the GOP block any gun talk. Because they had a vacation coming up
Always something before an election...
@@mikebryant8507 That was deflecting. There is no good answer.
@@mikebryant8507 Chuck Schumer obviously doesn’t care about children.
Because Chuck Schumer gets reelected every single year by promising his constituents that he will ban certain rifles and weapons that he and his political friends have deemed as the real enemy
One news report said the police could have gone to the windows on the side of the room with the barricaded/locked door instead of waiting for a key. They could have fired at the shooter early on and been heroes.
RE: The armed LE misdirecting their energy on the parents...Well, I have a TRO against a psycho neighbor in SoCal which prevents him from having ANY contact with me, a 73 disabled woman in a wheelchair.
When I called the CCPD for the 1st violation the rookie officer talked to me thru his window of his SUV telling me "I" would have to perform a Citizen's Arrest because he didn't see the violation! I told him NO Thank You + he left.
The 2nd one that who arrived for another TRO violation said he'd "never seen or read a TRO"! (Temporary Restraint Order) He took a brief look at the Court Order, fixated on the "5 yards distance" the Defendant was to stay away from us...and got a rolling device from his SUV and proceeded to measure 15 feet to show us the perp had been 2 feet outside that distance.(!)
He failed to read or correctly interpret the Order that states the Restrained Person is to ".. have NO CONTACT with the Protected Person(s)."
I recorded the part where he got angry with us (both73) at wasting his time when it seemed he might take us in!
I wanted to correct him but didn't want to be arrested. I called the Non-Emergency number and was told to leave a message for the Watch Commander, who didn't answer and never called me back.
These Orders are given for the Victim's safety; lives could be lost if they fail to execute on the Order.
We had to endure more harassment, stalking, sexual predatory words + actions, etc. for another six days until the Hearing.
The fact that a Judge would grant the temporary order shows they were convinced the victim was in danger for their life.
That the police let the perp go just emboldens him more and leaves the victim quaking in their boots, fearful 24/7 for their life & safety.
In my case I've started having severe chest pain and exhaustion from not sleeping.
This is not Serve & Protect.
Best wishes + prayers to all the families + community affected by this tragedy, Cathy in California 🧓 🙏 🌌
Wow. I'm very sorry for your situation. I've experienced similar negativity from some of the LE here in the Stockton/Lodi area.
It sounds like you have good documentation and at least one judge that understands the situation. Thinking out loud, I wonder if you could sue them for some sort of dereliction of duty, or something. Unfortunately, it often seems like the only thing these departments understand is financial damages. Your situation is something anyone outside of those officers would agree is a serious problem, those officers need to go. Also, you need to be able to be safe.
I hope you're able to get help with this for yours and your community's sake.
There were a lot of slip-ups in this situation mostly on the part of the police this whole situation makes me very sad because more could have been done🤔
The killer fired over a hundred rounds with an AR15 in the first few minutes so the children he shot would be dead or past saving because of the extent of the injuries. The officer in charge seemed to assess that all the children were dead and they were dealing with a barricaded suspect rather than an active shooter. I don't understand how they made this assessment.
@@sands7779 I have a much darker question for these cops, why did this killer talk about raping children and school shootings on social media the past few months? Why did no one report him, and also why wasn't he reported for making threats at school of shooting it up? They had warning signs for years, and nothing was ever done to get this kid into therapy or onto a restricted list for firearms at least for a couple years until he'd grown up a little.
Slip up, no what you saw was a trend.
@@jackl4laughs Those are my concerns as well
Focus on the door being open , if it was closed this would not have happened -
I ASSUME YOUR KIDDING.
Where was the resource officer in Uvalde? Where was the key? C'mon man.
That would cost tax dollars. Texans will vote anyone out who raises taxes for any reason.
@@derwolfpack3599 Nice dim bulb comment. There was a resource officer there. He was a coward just like the cops.
Only about 48% of schools have a student resource officer rn. I hope that changes.
@@jonathang8996 why? They can't stop this from happening.
He's right. A good resource officer shows a good school culture. I asked our local middle school what they do about bullying. Their answer was "we don't have that problem here". So we attended a different school that had active school-wide consistent policies that were research based and very successful. They had an excellent resource person (non public-safety) they made a real difference.
SRO's are step 1 on the school to prison pipeline. He states that their job is to be "a mentor, counselor, teacher" if that is the case, where do the jobs of the teachers fit in? In the schools that I attended, the SROs were deeply delusional in thinking that they were regarded as friends or respected, as they managed to create that illusion by creating a culture of fear. It was very easy to get on their "sh*t list" by not smiling warmly at them or laughing at their pathetic jokes. Although I never threatened or caused trouble in school in any way, my high school SRO told me that I was on his "usual suspects" list and was "interviewed" four different times about events I had absolutely nothing to do with. I graduated from high school with a 3.9 GPA, all I ever wanted was to keep my head down, study, and finish school without getting in trouble because I didn't want to kiss the SROs' boots on a daily basis. I was more afraid of the SROs than any of the other kids or anything that ever happened at school.
In any country the head of this mess would resign immediately. What are you waiting for G. Abbot to take responsibility and leave office?
You know where this never happens? Inner city schools. I'll let you all figure out the why's.
You know where else this never happens? Any other modernised country, I wonder why?
No sympathy votes to push gun control?
@@oasis67 yes it has 😭
The "BUDDY" System!
There are a lot of Resource Officers who mistake their job for one to only keep kids in order. Many school staff expects that too. They drag kids from class for not behaving. Yes, kids need to follow rules, but we have all seen videos of kids being ruffed up. School resource officers need to be chosen well.
So a cop in every school is just accepted as normal life in the US now? Patrolling and investigating teenagers like it's some righteous duty? Twisted system /smh
Wondering really how prepared this officer is? Does he have body armor, protective helmet, bullet proof shield, a good enough weapon to go up against an assault rifle? He infers he's prepared. I'm not sure.
I have an honest question if somebody could please answer... Why does CNN seemingly never cover anything about our economy or about our ongoing border crisis or the incredible inflation that we are all suffering through right now, soaring gas prices, Hunters laptop or even record breaking murder numbers in major cities?! These are all things that affect every American every single day. It just seems that 90% of the content on here is Russia Ukraine China and Trump.
NOTE.... my heart goes out to every single one of the family members and loved ones from the tragedy in Uvalde Texas.
They actually DO talk about inflation, gas prices, etc and WHY those things are happening (they have nothing to do with Biden, those things are happening worldwide). There is no crisis at the border, things slowed down during Covid and have picked up again. They have talked about Hunter but basically NO ONE CARES because no one voted for him. Unlike Trump Biden does not allow his family to run the country. Hunter is a non-issue. And yes, they do talk about high murder rates and why they happen, the biggest issue is mental health and guess who doesn't want to spend money offering mental health service? The GOP.
@@lacee7494 they don't talk about it lol.... they are so obsessed with Trump because they're scared of him, they know what's going to happen come this November and November 2024.... so it's all hands on deck again to stop Orange man bad. And if you truly think that Hunter Biden and the contents of his laptop or a non-issue you are literally part of the problem...... literal corruption at the highest level is what is on Hunter Biden's laptop and just because you don't know about it now or because it hasn't been released to the public yet doesn't mean it's not there oh, it's being hidden and swept under the rug from the top... just wait till the GOP gets back the Senate and the house and see what comes of this laptop, then please for the love of everything that is holy come back and talk to me....PLEASE REMEMBER ME!! And finally if you chose to keep reading, everything starts and ends with Biden when it comes to our economy right now. From day one in the office he started signing executive orders that have had our economy in a downward spiral ever since... please do your own research on that
Hunter' s laptop affects Americans? 😄😄😄 . By the way CNN covers the economy, inflation, gas prices etc.EVERY DAY. You just don't listen. Also those are WORLWIDE problems, not caused by Biden or the Democrats, no matter how much you whiners like to pretend It does. Just the fact that you put in that completely irrelevant nonsense about Hunters laptop!!!! shows what a doofus you are.
It's a fair question. Ratings?
I think this guy knows the value of developing trust relationships with students. I am not sure why resource officers are not required to stay in the school premises during school hours. Maybe the propped door would have been discovered. Nothing was mentioned as to why it was propped open???? That is security neglect!!!!
Apparently, a teacher stepped out to get something from their car so they propped the door open to be able to get back in. I cannot imagine what that teacher is feeling right now…
Do we not have the technology to monitor doors for God's sake? An alarm should have gone off in the school office that f'ng teacher blocked that door open! How does he/she sleep nights? And in town where everyone knows each other, how is it no one knew about this kid, and how in hell does a gun shop sell two AR-15 s and more ammo than an active marine carries in war to an 18 year old? If I owned a gun shop, it would be my requirement you pass a background check before I sold you a gun. Common sense! Why are gun people so clues and have no common sense?
@ keeping an eye on him does nothing when he bought the guns legally
@ What the f' has make up got to do with anything? What do we know about this kid? This town prides itself on everyone knowing each other.A simple monitor on a door. they have them everywhere. Try walking out a door at Walmart that is for emergencies! The tech is not that expensive. Gun Shop owner should have seen a red flag, but all he saw was a nice juicy gun purchase! Hypothetically, would the police response have been any different if this was a white population? Cops were great at crowd control and lousy at responding appropriately. What pisses me off are cops that do not support a ban on assault style military guns. That was there excuse for not going in!
@ not true. I work with people who live with mental health issues. Alarms on doors/ windows are not expensive and work very well ....
@@ynotaz The cops didn't go in because they thought all the kids were dead after 400 rounds had been discharged by the shooter. The cops did not know there were kids inside calling 911. The gun seller is not a shrink and not qualified to determine shit other than the thorough background check the kid passed. The technology will not help when teachers prop doors open. The fact that women no longer sit on the porch and gossip about everybody is why the psycho kids go unchecked and unchallenged, nobody is paying attention. No gun law can change this. You'd be trading in guns and get bombs in exchange. One thing is for sure, this shit didn't happen when the population was 90% white.
Schools could have a volunteer group of parents. I would volunteer to protect a school. My kids are grown. Background checks and unpaid. I up for it 2 days a week.
We must have Armed Guards and strong security at Every school and every Public place.
Said no rational person ever.
Seriously, guns are a reflex, it's time to rethink people getting weapons that can kill many. No one needs a machine gun. A single shot weapons that needed refilling would not have kills so many people. In the 1950's did you know the number one problem for teachers was gum? There is a problem in our society, and it might be because mom and dad work jobs outside of the home, and are very tired.
No we don't. America is becoming a police state already and you want more of that.
Kinder Guardians!!!!!
So a police state then.
Anyone can talk tough but when an AR shows up all plans go out the window
