And the parents who they arrest should get their salaries. I couldn’t image the PTSD I’d have if I was arrested during my child’s murder
@@nothereyetlost bro youre not even conservative lmao
school district has authority over a police dept? strange
@@commiesnzombies I was wondering about that too.
@@commiesnzombies when they said it’ll be on your record they meant it 😤😤
Ugh so fucked up
All the cowards that stood there and did nothing should be fired.
They make me sick!
Recently had a discussion with a pro-gun believer.
He said "Cops have a right to get home safely."
No.
No, they don't.
Not if they're letting civilians die.
@@veramae4098 that’s why we need to carry guns. Because no one else will protect us and this is a perfect example of that.
@Jelly Punk I bought mine years ago and carry every day. He was an untrained shooter. Cops are just cowards and we shouldn’t rely on the government to protect us.
@@veramae4098 atta girl!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘
@@reneportillo532 absolutely agree amigo.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The way this story continues to unfold is so infuriating! I am sick at the level of negligence.
ABSOLUTELY
*MISERY LOVES COMPANY. That is one GROUP OF ANGRY, MISERABLE PEOPLE and THEY WANT OTHERS TO BE JUST AS MISERABLE AS THEM! Deep down inside they know the truth! They know that their kids were DEAD long before anyone called the cops! They know that their kids were too forgone and there was no saving them! But, they just want to SPREAD THE ANGER AND HATE! Lashing out at society! Making life worse for others! Just like Salvador Ramos!*
@@nothereyetlost Are you trolling? Keep your political views in your ass!
It just keeps on going.
@NC Moot So how big is your trailer?
Each officer involved should be barred from ever being hired by any police department.
Cowards with a badge
They all should have had a .45 breakfast the day after.
@Wralda check your spelling.
They belong in jail charged with every murder they stood by and let happen.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
If they would’ve just took action, I’m sure they would’ve taken down the suspect without any officer being hurt, but they just became cowards… where was the aggressiveness they have when they pull citizens over???!!!
@@nothereyetlost Are you a Todd? Todd.
Your statement is just straight up wrong, for one yes they were cowards and should have been more aggressive as that is their job, but officers definitely would have been hurt or killed, and 2 you’re comparing other aggressive cops to completely different human beings who you don’t know are aggressive at all, kinda sad you had to do that just to make a point
This is a little excessive. Several of the officers wanted to storm the classroom including one whose child was killed. They were pulled away by the majority of officers. And not to spit hairs, but was the whole force on the scene. I mean does dismissal include the front personnel?
Even if a few officers got shot. It’s their job! And true they are so cocky and macho when they pull us over but when a scrawny lil white boy w a rifle shows up they tuck their tails and run for cover.. fk em all fire them all dishonorably
You love police when they kill an unarmed person of color, but not when they protect the capital or the fbi?
Hope they all get fired. Start from scratch.
Every cop that was on scene that day standing around needs to be charged with dereliction of duty. Every one that entered the building and stood around also needs accomplice to murder tacked on to it.
The woman that got hired and fired was on video going in, leaving, and stating if it was her kid in there she would go in but her kid wasn't in there. I don't know how these chicken cops even still have the nerve to show their face in this community, much less try to get new jobs working for the school. Around here it would be made well and sure known they are not welcome anywhere in the county.
I agree with you, absolutely and positively wholeheartedly. cops these days are useless, lazy, corrupt, and wrong for the job.
ps, fantastic response. good to see a human fucking standing up for what's right.
Why didn’t any parent step up to the plate and run in there and do something about the shooting
@@keepitforreally4501 Because the 376 cops were stopping and arresting them for trying. Only one parent got in and they spent weeks harassing her because she done some news interviews.
@@keepitforreally4501 atleast one did, some were stopped by the heroic police
350+ officers were there. remember that instead saving kids, they were arresting parents. every police force needs rebuilt from the ground up
It's better to have NO security than to have a FALSE sense of security. You prepare your defenses and know what to expect.
Very well said.
@@lisapineapple In another setting, a thief or a robber is actually scared before the police arrives to arrest which meant "to protect" him because the local will beat him up which is much much worse than jail or prison.
Took long enough, they all ought to be brought up on dereliction of duty charges
376 officers on site. That is almost the manpower strength of a ARMY BATTALION. No excuses
Sometimes law enforcement is it's own worst enemy and despite anything that happens just cannot lose the arrogance that some of them display. To hire that ex-trooper is a perfect example; what in the world were they thinking other than they could do whatever they wanted to.
That's the only thing that sticks, is their idiot way of thinking.
“They came under fire…they were criticized I should say”.
I see what you did there. Savage.
Guarantee these cops are the same type to boast on social media about "I'd fight anyone trying to take my Country's freedom"
The Leaders of the Uvalde school district police force Should be up on Negligent Homicide charges.
Amen.
Fire them all, nothing but cowards!
The issue is it was a school and not a doughnut shop.
Suspension? Fire them
This tragedy crosses my mind daily. I am glad they all got suspended because they did nothing to try to save those innocent kids.
“We don’t care about your kids unless it’s our own” - The Uvalde Police
Uvalde School District Police: "We hear and understand your pain and frustrations. Rest assured we are committed to ensuring this never happens again."
Parents: "Then why are you rehiring someone that failed their duties on that day?"
Uvalde School District Police: "Ooops, I guess we dropped the ball...again."
They should be fired, not collect pensions and never be allowed to work in any law enforcement capacity. They shouldn't even be allowed to become un-armed security guards.
They need to face charges. They're complicit in what transpired.
unfortunately qualified immunity exist
We live in such a reactive society. These “so called” officers of the law, should have all been fired along with their superiors, once the truth surfaced about their response time to this tragic incident. 🙏🏾💐😔
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them" -Albert Einstein
Every single time I think about those children or see those group pictures of them I break down crying....just too much!
What kind of Republic is this!?
It’s very hard for me as well I have 2 kids n I hate dropping them off at school
So very sad. 😢
Think about the Democrat who killed them and the Democrat police force that let him kill them. Then remember that they support Beto and that Beto politically (and behind his closed doors, probably literally) masturbated over the dead children as the bodies were still warm.
Terrible year all around the world
Usa, indonesia, Thailand, Iran, Ukraine, and more country
My pray for all those people 🙏🙏🙏
2022 full of Darkness 😭
I can’t wait new year to come
I hope 2023 bring happiness to all the people around the world❤️❤️❤️
absolutely agree.
Why do they always increase police budgets, when it's not the polices job to protect the public?
Ask Abbott.
@Arugula Array (Many) Police forces are just f'ed up and need eradicated, and starting froom scratch, of course they need to do all the work 1st on how it needs to be done, training and all before starting from scratch, but they definitely need to phase out current officers and replace with REAL - not corrupt., not power hungry cops who make GOOD decisions in a crisis as they become available. Maybe 'making due' initially w/ a smaller force until the right people apply.
It is their job to protect the public by enforcing the laws, they are just bad at it because they don't have any consequences like every other person in every other occupation.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾, I'm glad they did what needed to be done even though it took almost 5 months.
They're only suspended from the school district, and have been reassigned to a different police dept. They're still working as cops and guzzling taxpayer money. This isn't even a slap on the wrist.
If just one of those coward rushed in and killed the shooter, no doubt they would have been fired, but the town may make them the new head of the new police force. RIP
No...if any cop would've apprehended the shooter there's laws that protect the cop in circumstances like this
There was a cop on scene, rifle in hand, that could have stopped this from happening. He watched the shooter cross the parking lot, shoot at the school, and continue on into the school. He did nothing.
I was initially sympathetic to the officers until I saw the surveillance video and audio. One of the officers wife was in the room and he wouldn’t advance even so. I mean if your not willing to put your life on the line for your own loved ones I don’t want you as first responder to or for any of my loved ones! Period
Yeah well you being initially sympathetic is part of the problem. Stop giving these assholes the benefit of the doubt. They don't deserve any such thing.
Suspension?
EVERY single one of those COWARDS should be fired!! 🖕
400 cops vs 1 criminal. Criminal had the upper hand for over an hour. Just terrible it took so long.
Truly heartbreaking, my condolences to all the families. They did not deserve to die.
It’s easier to become a cop than a barber
Source?
Haha true
@@superoldgamesaturday3277 Google the exact words of my last comment
Well I see the Sega troll is being a Karen again.
You just need a high school diploma to become an officer and make close to 90k on average.
I hope none come to CT to apply for jobs, we don’t need cowards
Y’all already have a lot of cowards
At that time, I expected a small fraction of the force to be responsible, yet it only turns out the whole force is just as inadequate.
It's kinda like outdoor house cats, can't blame the cats for being cats; but gotta blame the owners.
SAY IT AGAIN FOR ALL THE FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE BACK👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Where were their parents why were they standing there watching why didn’t they just go in
@@keepitforreally4501 because the damn useless cops were preventing them from doing anything, restraining and arresting THEM- the parents, but hey, why upset the shooter? There are all these overwrought parents they can pick on!
@@keepitforreally4501 first of all there’s many videos of police stopping parents from going in and even arresting them, second how are they supposed to know the police are just standing around doing nothing
They need to fire every single officer who were there responded and stood around while an active gunman actively shooting at those kids.
wow...that only took more than 4 months...
All those cops should have their police licenses and certification suspended till a full investigation 🔎 🙄 😒 is done !
investigation ? we know all we need to know about those scaredy cats
SALVADOR RAMOS, THE GUNMAN, WAS K¡LLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT! THANK YOU, OFFICERS!
What? How does a school district suspend a police department?
Apparently in Texas it's not uncommon for school districts to have their own police force. In this case, it's the school district's police force that's being suspended. I know, it sounds weird to me too.
Those police needs to earn the respect of their Community and it will be something that will never make up for what happen and what they did
si, si, si.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 can't even believe they can show their f****** faces in that City let alone the State.
These parents appear to have NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE, and IT APPEARS LIKE THIS IS HOW THEY WERE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT!
Cops tough when someone has no gun, they’d never risk it for the biscuit
But the city still employs them?? Some more BS from our so called administrators
ONLY suspension?! pfff you can do better than that
Well, to be fair, if they aren’t going to do their jobs, why do you need them?
Remember police safety is top priority
Police should have no authority without responsibility or accountability.
Clearly *DEFUNDING THE POLICE* is the only valid option.
agreed.
Abbott actually made it so you can't defund the police in Texas. You'd need to vote out Abbott and change the legislation.
The Uvalde PD is even asking for more funding. And I bet you Texas will fork it over. They will see no repercussions and be rewarded for their cowardice.
@@AlcideIzMine that was clearly foolish of him.
Well, we need to reinvent the police, re-model them after Many of Europe's forces...
Why would you take away money from a department that clearly needs more training. Or even more officers. How does a department get better if you defund them? 🤦🏻 idiots.
You must give it to Texas. I wish we would clean up some other police departments. The police force doesn’t know that they are doing a job and get paid to serve and protect us. Not to cover up what they do or don’t do.
Took 'em long enough they'd have been suspended immediately after and fired in a week or 2 had I been in charge of determining WTH..
This should have been done within a week of the shooting. We all make mistakes at work but how many result in the deaths of 19 kids? Imagine a school bus driver going off a bridge, killing 19 kids. Do you think the next day he'd be driving another bus as if nothing really happened?
Suspended with pay aka vacation.
That's how you handle that Democrat police force.
@wolfpacguy The truth hurts, groomer.
They had gear rifles and vest just stood in the hallway doing nothing not even trying to saved the babies or teachers I'm glad they are fired💔😥🖤🙏🏾
They are still going to be paid their salary. Not a punishment. It's time off.
Yes, Where was the aggression they have when making a traffic stop at an unarmed person???? Smh... So many lives would be saved if they would of used that aggression here...
Fire all them never let them be able to be hired ever again anywhere
Those pigs should be charged as well
Cowards cowards cowards, as a former leo they should never be able to work again
This is justice.
Their kids dying is justice
I don't like cops, I'm just going to be upfront about that. But I am beyond bewilderment on what that cop who lost his teacher wife to the shooter did, that would warrant a suspension.
I missed that one...
You must be a criminal
I dont think people understand how difficult it is to fire unionized employees. Union protection is usually why you see a statement like "police officer suspended with pay while incident is being investigated." The world is watching and it can be in back and white. But there are union rules you need to follow which makes firing bad employees extremely difficult if not impossible in some scenarios.
The thumbnail made it looks like this was a new Mortal Kombat game
Lock them up. Lock up the police. Take their pension. Give them jail time.
Those cops aren't fit to flip burgers! 😒
Good for them, because if lessons are not learn now, what makes you think they won’t repeat the same thing again.
Every police officer involved should be fired and never given a police job anywhere in the United States.
I have only ONE QUESTION: *Suspended WITH or WITHOUT pay!?*
Of course with pay.
Probably with.
Just remember...When that terrible day happened, the reports were there was a school resource officer that engaged the murderer. Where did that come from? Does a force of three officers have a SRO? I told my wife it's a cover-up as it was all going down.
That was revealed to be 'made up b.s." if I remember correctly (it's meen a few months now).
What happened with don’t mess with Texas now there label like cowards
suspended with pay yaaay! great job. they should be in jail for cowards.
I bet these officers are suspended with full pay.
The DPS are on the hook for these killings they never went in after the gunman they let the gunman just execute all those kids 77 minutes of hesitation
Suspend ? They failed to do their job, I'd be sacked if I failed to do mine.
This happened May 24th and it's October 7th and this suspension is only just happening?
Situations like this takes time dummy
Are regular police officers even trained to handle such situations? I thought maybe specially trained swat teams and negotiators were supposed to do these things.
They were all trained. The Uvalde PD even had active shooter training at Robb Elementary just months prior. Problem is they refused to adhere to the training. Same for the 300 other fully trained officers that showed up.
Uvalde PD has even previously posted themselves on their Facebook posing in their expensive SWAT gear and with their expensive weapons. Nothing but cosplaying Gravy Seals.
@@AlcideIzMine Good answer. Thanks for clarifying.
@@AlcideIzMine That is so pathetic. Unbelievable.
I think it varies wi9dely. IMO there should be a federal competency test ALL officers need to pass (written as well as physical) before they are LISCENSED to even be considered 'POSSIBLY hirable by a police force."
Not only were they trained to handle this very specific scenario, they had a very high budget paying for all the equipment they needed. The ONLY thing they lacked was the guts to follow their oath:
"On my honor, I will never Betray my integrity, my character Or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always maintain the highest ethical standards and uphold the values of my community, and the agency I serve."
You tell me, is that an oath that these officers stood by or did they hide from it by saying "I was just following orders!"?
Looks like they need to fire the school district board to.
officials: you stood by while innocent kids were murdered
cops: umm...
officials: enjoy your paid vacation
Their policy is don't serve, don't protect. Let's just stand around and fantasize about coffee and donuts.
🤬😤🤢🤬. FINALLY ‼️ it’s way past time ‼️
This how you must deal with wrongdoings.
as they should.
Suspended with pay or without. If they were suspended without pay, they would have made that clear
I can't decide whether or not if the news anchor is looking at me or my dog next to me.
Force them to resign
Disposable what they did
They’re a bunch of cowards.
*There was only one gunman, Salvador Ramos, age 18, went into the school brandishing a semi-automatic assault rifle, AR-15 and shot 100 rounds of ammunition for 4 minutes straight.*
A suspension is not enough for these cowards, so called fellow Americans.
You mean they were all given a paid vacation.
Why not fire them ??
Simply creating a school police department without proper oversight is a recipe for disaster. Were these people hired because of their merits or because of political patronage and nepotism? It's high time for a genuine investigative reporter to dig into the hiring processes at Uvalde CISD and other school districts throughout the state of Texas.
Why put out a thumbnail of the victims on your video if you’re going to block three of them with your logo? Disgraceful
they need to get fired
Was it only Uvalde officers who sat on their thumbs while children were murdered? Or was it also local or state officers?
What suspension , they all should be fired.
Good. But also put blame on the people in charge as there were safety issues that not only cops ignored. Admin should also be blamed for their roles.
And nobody has blamed the shooter or the people that sold him the gun or the social media that did not alert anyone
With or Without pay?
They should have let the parents go in for their kids....parents won’t have taken that long to get inside.
Why don’t you report on the teacher that lead and let the shooter into the school by opening, propping the door open then “follow me in”.
LOL, because it's been proven that that never happened.
fools all suspend, serves them right lol
Who’s fault is that? It’s not the personnel. It’s who hires them and trains them and who is in charge that are liable and responsible for this incompetence.
This is what needs to happen thank God
