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.

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.
The cops did not stop the BP officer who showedjust kind of feed the narrative that the cops were scared.
Some of the cops stepped forward and provided him cover while he rescued kids.
1 or 2 did after 19 waited around for 40 minutes because they were scared.
More than two. Let’s at least give them their due, given they were being told to stand down by their chief.
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.
So they helped a buddy get his kids but handcuffed others?
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.
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.
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?

18 year olds who serve this country have guns placed in their hands. Minimum age to be a police officer is 18-21, depending on the state.
Those 18 year olds have extensive training drilled into them.
If you don't agree with age limits, do you think we should require 6 months of training before purchasing a gun? For everyone?
Not only that! They have to undergo background checks to get into service in e first place. I’m fine using that standard! If an 18 year old wants a gun he should be able to get security clearance first
This 18 year old had a background check. Sadly, he passed.
Why wouldn't he have passed? 18-year-olds have clear records that are sealed from juvenile offenses which starts the day they turn 18. He waited and he pounced. Stupidity.
EXACTLY. Do we really want the records sealed of cold blooded killers and crazies just because they hit a magic age?
The kid didn't have a record...neither did the shooters of Majory Stoneman Douglas or Sandy Hook or Las Vegas Mandalay Bay or Isla Vista or Charleston.
What EXACTLY do you plan to do to combat these teen boys with with no state or federal prison records, no prior arrests, and not even a parking ticket that are snapping and getting weapons of mass war from parents or grandparents?

That is not a record you idiot. Its a social media history. Now if the GOP would stop standing in the way of a domestic terrorism bill it could be USED to arrest terrorists like this mass murderer the same way the Patriot Act went after Muslim Americans. But of course they won't do that.
I know that’s not a record, don’t be a d|ck. If anyone had reported the threats, he would have had one, though.

They're not stupid. They get it's not ideal that the US leads the world in school shootings.
They just don't care because their voters don't care.

According to the timeline, the cops didn’t stand around while the shooter was “killing babies”. The high likelihood is he did all his murders in the first 15 minutes of entry.
They were at the door within minutes. Imagine the possibility that some of those children bled out while they waited, and possibly could have been saved had they breached the door earlier.
No, they didn't pull the trigger, and the shooter is ultimately responsible. But what they did was indefensible.
Do you have kids? Can you imagine the abject terror of the children locked in that room with a gunman for over an hour, begging for help from police? It sickens me to look at my Teo young children and imagine them going through that...or anyone else's kids.
That is an absolutely lie. There are 9/11 calls within the timeline of the cops standing outside the door from kids inside the classroom pleading for 'police' only to be dead once they breeched it 90 minutes in.
He entered classrooms 111/112 at 11:33AM. A female student IN THOSE CLASSROOMS called police at 12:03PM and again at 12:13PM. And a third time at 12:16PM. She reported that at least 9 of her classmates were still alive.
A child was on the phone from 12:36PM - 12:47PM. The mass shooter died at 12:58PM.

Yeah, that's what I said. I'm the PP you quoted. Exactly where did I lie? The officers standing outside the door likely could have saved some of those poor kids.

But they didn’t all die in the first 15 minutes. Some could have been saved. Some were still alive an hour later and died at the hospital.
The training for the cops is 1. Stop the killing by taking out the shooter and then 2. Stop the dying by getting immediate help for the injured who are still alive. There is no training to wait an hour.

The cops goong in to save their own kids was from an interview the DPS Lt -Ordonez(?) gave on Wednesday I think.
Yeah I saw that, but it was early on and he didn’t explicitly say they went in and got only their children. At least if it’s the interview I’m recalling. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, and if it did, they should be hung out to dry. But I know the story has changed a lot and people were answering questions without knowing the whole story. It seems like with all the coverage, if this were true, the stories would’ve come out with witness accounts or some kind of backup. I wouldn’t put anything past these guys. I honestly could see either way being true.

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.

According to the timeline, the cops didn’t stand around while the shooter was “killing babies”. The high likelihood is he did all his murders in the first 15 minutes of entry.
They were at the door within minutes. Imagine the possibility that some of those children bled out while they waited, and possibly could have been saved had they breached the door earlier.
No, they didn't pull the trigger, and the shooter is ultimately responsible. But what they did was indefensible.
Do you have kids? Can you imagine the abject terror of the children locked in that room with a gunman for over an hour, begging for help from police? It sickens me to look at my Teo young children and imagine them going through that...or anyone else's kids.
That is an absolutely lie. There are 9/11 calls within the timeline of the cops standing outside the door from kids inside the classroom pleading for 'police' only to be dead once they breeched it 90 minutes in.
He entered classrooms 111/112 at 11:33AM. A female student IN THOSE CLASSROOMS called police at 12:03PM and again at 12:13PM. And a third time at 12:16PM. She reported that at least 9 of her classmates were still alive.
A child was on the phone from 12:36PM - 12:47PM. The mass shooter died at 12:58PM.

Yeah, that's what I said. I'm the PP you quoted. Exactly where did I lie? The officers standing outside the door likely could have saved some of those poor kids.
I'm talking to the OP who posted before you - The high likelihood is he did all his murders in the first 15 minutes of entry.
