NP, I know there is often grandstanding on this board and it’s hard to say with certainty what someone would do when faced with mortal danger but I do think a large percentage of parents would do anything they could to save their child in this situation.  In fact most parents would die without hesitation to save their child.[/quote]

It’s possible the police would have had to shoot me in the back to stop me from running in there. I can’t imagine the helpless horror those poor kids and parents felt. Extra cruel. [/quote]

The cops did not stop the BP officer who showed :roll:  just kind of feed the narrative that the cops were scared.[/quote]

Some of the cops stepped forward and provided him cover while he rescued kids. [/quote]

1 or 2 did after 19 waited around for 40 minutes because they were scared.[/quote]

More than two. Let’s at least give them their due, given they were being told to stand down by their chief.[/quote]

Is there new info or more details?  Last I heard it was a group of 3-4 that went in with 1-2 being sheriff's deputies.  I'll praise whomever deserves praise.[/quote]

So they helped a buddy get his kids but handcuffed others?  [/quote]

Im sure orhers did but in this case we're talking about the assault team led by the off-duty CBP guy.  At least one sheriff's deputy and one other CBP joined.  I'm not sure how big a group it was but it was small.  What's worse is the CBP borrowed the ballistic shield from the Uvalde guys who were too scared.[/quote]

The article I read said it was him, 2 officers providing cover, and 2 more helping escort children to safety. He evacuated the wing his child was in, but it doesn't sound like he started with his child's class (whether that's intentional I couldn't say). I remember a line that was something like when he found his child, he gave them a hug and sent them out with the other officers and continued evacuating the other children in that wing.

I've heard the stories about some cops going in and getting their children out, but the DPS director said that wasn't true, and I haven't found any articles backing it up. This is the closest I can find to that rumor. Cops going in and getting out individual kids is inexcusable, but what this CBP agent did, leading a team and evacuating a whole wing (even if he picked that wing because his child was there), especially if they'd been told to stand down, I can at least understand it and support it to an extent. Their training was to take out the shooter first, but as much of a clusterf*** as this has been, at least he did something valuable. [/quote]
One parent did go in and come out only with her own kids. Could she have taken others? I mean, since we are critiquing, right?[/quote]
