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.

Sickening.

It also doesn't address the 12 minutes he was shooting outside before all this happened. WTH were the cops?

You're off point. This isn't a general argument about hardening schools. There was a propped door, reportedly. It is normal to wish it hadn't been.

My god. The depravity if you guns nuts knows no limits.

No one said this at all, so you're picking a political fight just for the sake of doing so. Several things can be true at one time.

I don’t see why? Fresh air helps, especially in a fourth grade classroom.

Did the school get upgraded air filters during Covid? If not, maybe this was how they mitigated.

Focusing on a propped door as the evil causer rather than the gun is delusional.

Wow, what a weird response. Seek therapy, maybe? The door was not supposed to be open per best practices. Entry was a factor. Allegedly incompetent law enforcement response was a factor. Weapons that gun loving GOP won't ban was a factor.

What part of the response was weird? What part makes you think, “seek therapy’’?

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.

+1
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 showed just 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?

You mean the unarmed, no tactical gear having mom that was handcuffed by the police? The one that as soon as the handcuffs were removed, ran as fast as she could AWAY from the police to the school, jumped the fence, ran into the school with an active shooter, found her kids and ran out?

That mom?

You think that’s the same as police officers, trained and armed police officers, that were not just shouted at and handcuffed by police officers?

I didn’t say it was the same? I know for a fact, though, I would have brought other kids. You are morally bound to do so. Police were wrong but once she knew she could get her own kids out, you take others. YMMV

NP but I think it’s unfair to say you would have taken other kids out as well. I would like to think I would have but who knows what was going on in that room to make her not do that. None of us can understand the stress, fear and pure adrenaline running through this mother’s mind and body.

Sure. It’s also normal to wish that TX wasn’t a lawless sh*those of a state full of gun nuts.
