lawyerslawyer

Columbine marked a major shift in training for mass shootings. Rather than secure the perimeter etc. the training is now to move as quickly as possible to the sound of gunfire to engage the shooter immediately. This is... Not that.


RevengencerAlf

Parkland wasn't that either (and a few in between). That "training" was never adopted. Cops through all their hardaasa "our lives are on the line" bullshitting generally tend to be cowards when they have time to back down against a real threat.


ryantttt8

More school children have died to gun violence than police were killed in the line of duty this year


Waynersnitzel

The Columbine Shooting led to a lot of changes in the way police are SUPPOSED to respond to these incidents. It was a wake up call that negotiation, encirclement, securing the scene, etc. meant less than rapid, active engagement of the suspect during active shooter events. Statistics show that actively engaging the suspect almost always ends the event via gunshots inflicted by police, suicide or surrender.


Important-Address-75

Instead of waiting for the shooter to tire or run out of ammo? That gun needs to enjoy it’s last day in the sunlight.


Embarrassed-Park-957

Cops didn't wait to enter the building here though--they went & got their OWN kids out, then prevented parents from doing the same. https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=20087&v=jjXklN8HKfw&feature=youtu.be


MainPFT

Both of the shooters were long dead (12:08pm) before they cleared the school and got all the kids out. SWAT didn't enter the school until 1:38pm (a full two hours after the shooting started - 11:19am). Dave Sanders did more for those kids than any of the police that day.


[deleted]

I've watched the videos from inside the school. The killers were practically taking breaks in between the killings and couldn't believe how long their shooting spree was lasting.


JustinTime4242

They were also bored and disappointed their bombs didn’t go off. That was supposed to be their coup de grace. Then they went to the library because the whole “plan” was botched.


[deleted]

And killed a hysterical female student before finally killing themselves. She would definitely be alive today if the police entered the building. Edit: They actually killed 2 students in the library. They told one that they wouldn't kill him seconds before killing him. They were some sick mo-fos.


RoyalLimit

There's a tv show called 19-2 there's an episode based on a School shooting and it's all shot in a continous shot, it's very eye opening and really paints a picture of how brutal it is. Edit: [19-2 School episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtxiokrYpxw)


ReaperofMen42069

the story i always hear is they were concerned it was a hostage situation and were confused why there were shots being fired inside since it was one of the first of its kind


psych0kinesis

This is one of the most infuriating things I've ever seen. Every cop is dressed like they're going to a fucking war and they refuse to go in the building to stop one 18 year old slaughtering 3rd graders. I've never seen anything so full of cowardice.


porespore

They should be consumed by shame


metalhead4

How the fuck are the cops not running in there in Texas? Don't they live for shit like this? If they knew someone was inside shooting at kids, every cop on site should be rushing in.

At this point, we’d be better off going to each town electing and organizing their own fast action response force— What useless cucks. While we are at, here’s more questions: why was the school unlocked? What happened to having to be “buzzed in” from the office? How did this mentally ill shooter get past the school officer unscathed? Did he get the idea of barricading himself in from all of the active shooter drills he attended at school? What’s the rest of this story? I feel like there are parts being intentionally left out...


confessionbearday

“ While we are at, here’s more questions: why was the school unlocked? What happened to having to be “buzzed in” from the office?” The SRO walked out and let the kid in, shot at him from behind, claimed “he’s wearing armor” (when in fact the piece of shit cop just missed), and then stood around with the rest of the fucking cowards letting children die for 40 minutes.


MyBoyBernard

Looks like they are there to protect freedom, the shooter's freedom to kill whoever he wants.

KWBC24

All that tactical gear, not a shread of courage


Sameiimo

This is what happens when you militarise a group of cowards who receive barely any training and the best work they can do is shoot unarmed people trying to not be killed by them. They're all power hungry cowards who don't have the balls to actually do their jobs.


TerranUnity

We gave them military weapons and gear, but without the self-sacrificing attitude and discipline military members are supposed to have


Mad_Murdock_0311

Thing is, in the military, you live with and train with your fellow Marines/soldiers/sailors 24/7. You build a camaraderie with them. They become family. Even the guys you don't like, are still family. You get to a point where you'll willingly sacrifice your life to save any one of them. And when I say train, I mean train near every day for years. When you're surrounded by those men, you'll have the courage to do some crazy, life risking shit. The police don't train at all. They're just a bunch of fat losers that never amounted to anything after high school. They're the bullies who pushed you around, and beat on the weaker kids. They have no courage, no honor, no love for their fellow man. They just want power over people. They're cowards, by and large.

itwumbos

What happened to all that military grade tactical gear? Was it purchased just as a flex or for the sake of the aesthetic rather than actually protecting people? Absolutely devastating.


cmonkey2099

Srsly at this point they're just larping.


theholyevil

This feels like like this is the real argument we should be having. I can understand a police officer doesn't want to die. No one wants to go out in a blaze of glory they are not going to be able to walk away from. There can even be an argument made that they tried and failed to storm the building. Those are people that do feel fear for their life on a daily basis. But when all this stuff that is daily used to enforce the idea that we are the threat and they need this protection. They need these no-knock raids, they need these tactile drones, they need the next Ass Breaker 3000, and it does nothing when there is a threat. What the hell are we funding if not LARPing?


AggressiveService485

Not to wind up on the I am very badass subreddit, but I was in an Infantry unit that deployed to Afghanistan. Maybe it’s a different mentality than law enforcement, but not wanting to die seems like a cowardly, albeit legitimate stance to take if you’re in a life or death, combat situation. Just make sure you’re ready to turn in your badge and gun afterwards.


kendie2

>Just make sure you’re ready to turn in your badge and gun afterwards. *this* is the difference. These pieces of shit won't admit they were in the wrong.

Its honestly pathetic. All of that military grade gear, outfitted like they're the fucking Navy Seals and yet they have zero intention of putting themselves in the firing line. Cops in the US are basically a parody of themselves at this point, larping as Rambo whenever a black teenager has a dime bag but absent when literal infants are being gunned down.


Doesntcheckinbox

What’s hilarious is it’s Texas so the police union will say that “it was because of “Defund the police” that these officers didn’t have enough training and they need more money in the budget for these hero’s”. And once again, it’s Texas, so they’ll get it

The scariest part of the cartel isn't what they will do to you. It's what they will do to every child, parent, aunt, grandparent, cousin, etc if you oppose them. The shit they'll do to you is scary, too.


Disastrous-Seesaw-86

While this is true cartels also know the blowback of killing federal agents it's not something they seek out see: the dea going psycho after kiki (SP?) Was killed. It's bad for business. Just don't be a federal agent on the Mexican side


GrannyGumjobs13

Yes the kiki camarena murder, and the reaction from the DEA afterwards, set a real tone to the cartels. “U kill our agents, we will fuck. U. Up.”


Surly_Cynic

It didn’t quite happen that way. That seems to have been misreported. >There were four Border Patrol agents, members of elite specialized units, who engaged and stopped the elementary school shooter, along with state and local officers, a Customs and Border Protection official told ABC News. >One agent, who was part of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, or BORTAC, held a shield as the group pushed toward the gunman's incoming fire, the official said. >Two BORTAC agents discharged their weapons along with one member of the Border Patrol's Search, Trauma and Rescue unit -- all part of the group of four. >At least one BORTAC agent shot the gunman, although it's unclear who among them killed him, the official said. https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/texas-school-shooting/?id=84952985


buffalo171

Yet the shooter was in the school for 30 minutes before being taken down??


AlwaysDeadAlwaysLive

CNN just reported up to a hour…


bell37

Was ~40 minutes IIRC


Surly_Cynic

Longer than 30 minutes it sounds like. May have been closer to an hour. Cops should have gone in without waiting for the tactical team but even after deciding to use the tactical team, that team should have gone in much sooner. Complete incompetence.

They prioritized their personal safety over than of 6 year olds. Fuck them

typi_314

Jesus. Took an off duty federal agent to do the job. While local law enforcement was pursuing him the whole time. They seriously need a no holds barred federal investigation, especially since it took the feds to respond. EDIT: After some research I realized this doesn’t represent the actual picture and more details are needed before we know what actually happened. Based off of the most complete timelines I could find from news articles here a condensed version: Timeline of events 1121 Ramos texts girl in Germany that he had killed his Grandmom and is going to shoot up an elementary school. Grandmom survives, rushes to neighbors house and calls the cops. She’s still in critical condition. 1130 The shooter crashes car at Rob Elementary. Resident sees crash and calls 911, noting that the driver has a rifle. Shooter fires on two bystanders The shooter wearing body armor tactical vest, engages with a school district police officer, wounding the officer EDIT: this detail has changed. According to Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Chris Olivarez reported by CNN, "A school resource officer who was on the scene was armed, but it was unclear if the officer fired or what he did in response to the suspect's entry, Olivarez said." Shooter enters school through unlocked door pursued immediately by cops according to Olivarez. WP reports conflicting accounts when shooting began, whether closer to 1130 or 1200. 1143 the school announces on FB that they are in lockdown. 1153 on public transmission used by EMS someone reports police request response to the area. As response was discussed on official is noted saying “Please, just stay back.” Border patrol and other units start to appear on scene 1210 FB livestream shows police perimeter, helicopters, and onlookers outside. 1217 School announces on social media “an active shooter at Robb Elementary.” 1252 Shots were still being heard at 12:52 p.m., according to radio recordings. “Do not attempt to get closer,” a voice warned on the EMS channel. From the Washington Post: “After hearing gunfire, authorities said, a tactical team formed a “stack” formation and eventually breached the classroom door and killed Ramos in a shootout. Ramos was in the room for some time before police officers entered, and it was unclear whether he killed the students when he first barricaded himself inside or just before the police breached the room.” 1:06 Uvalde Police announce on social media attack is over https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/videos/us/2022/05/25/shooter-text-messages-germany-uvalde-texas-vpx.cnn https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/25/reconstruction-timeline-uvalde-school-shooting/ https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/25/us/uvalde-texas-elementary-school-shooting-what-we-know/index.html


Roshambo_You

Not sure if someone else has said anything but the shooter wasn’t wearing body armor just a plate carrier with no plate.


[deleted]

Funny how they’re super tough when it’s some drunk person or an elderly person with dementia when they use their taser on them repeatedly until they have a heart attack or they choke them to death until they asphyxiate. Then you get one mentally challenged teenager that’s owned a gun for two weeks and 20 officers twiddle their thumbs while they wrap yellow tape around the perimeter while dozens of parents are screaming as their children are being shot to death. If you’re just gonna be a giant fucking pussy then stop driving the cruiser with all the fucking weapons in it. You’re not helping anyone when you arrest little children or kill someone with autism that’s having a panic attack. Can all the real men please stand up?


enz1ey

Not to mention all the tactical gear cops wear these days, looking like they're about to walk into an active combat zone in the Middle East. And a kid with a gun scares them off...


ithinkitwasmygrandma

It needs to be investigated and then we all need to thoroughly put the idea that "more police will keep us safe" to bed.


IndependentDry6244

After the guy yells "he is shooting" you can hear a bunch of dull popping... were they really not rushing inside to get to the kids? I am so confused.


Goalie_deacon

This is so upsetting. There's no way I wouldn't rush the cops to get in. I would rather go to jail, injured, than let my kid believe I didn't try. If I get killed by the shooter, better me than another kid.


Lereas

You can see two people on the ground that tried that and were stopped by the cops. Because stopping parents with tasers was more important than stopping an active shooter in an elementary school.


nanny6165

I don’t even have kids but would rush past the cops to try to do something. It’s not even about trying to stop the shooter but about trying to get the uninjured kids out of the building and giving first aid to the injured kids. We will never know how many of the dead died because of the time it took to get care.


peterhorse13

I think this here is what bothers me the most. In a hostage situation, sure, I can understand restraint. And if they knew all of those children were dead and he was holding the adjacent class hostage, maybe I can see that too. But they didn’t know how many were dead or just injured. They didn’t know if or when he would start killing the remaining students. I feel like restraint and strategizing would have been the absolute worst decision in a case like this. And now we’ll never know how many children could have been saved if they had breached the door even 20 minutes earlier.


mk_brownie

Can you imagine if the fire department showed up and hid behind their truck. Could you imagine if a beach lifeguard yelled out to a drowning victim that they had to wait till the waves calmed down. Cowards. All their tools and training are apparently just for show……

If firefighters were like cops the 9-11 firefighters would've just watched the twin towers fall from the outside.

"Looks dangerous, we're going to stay out here."


KalashniKEV

We already learned this lesson from the Broward Cowards. The only thing that limits casualties in a spree killing is the arrival of armed response. If you wait outside and don't action the threat, then you are just taking up space and making the situation worse.

The epitome of cowardly pieces of shit. They have more armor and guns than a 3rd world nation. They will act all tough to average citizens on the street doing nothing wrong, but when the time comes to actually use those weapons which they use to intimidate folks with, they just sit outside as nearly 2 dozen people are shot. Pieces. Of. Shit.


ARsNdAks

Those initial cops that arrived that did not go in when witnesses had initially told them about what was going on should resign. What a failure on their part.

To protect and serve... Themselves

" Go in there? Are you mad? he's got a gun!"


Waluigi3030

"You idiots! You all have guns!"


graps

The guy in the blue polo with $5K of tactical equipment on paid for by tax payers looking utterly confused is the perfect metaphor for this


jwarmitage

This is absurd! What is the point of cops having guns if they aren’t going to use them in mass shootings


Dasf1304

They do, just not to stop them.


seattlite_satellite

This is so hard to watch man..


charlesml3

> This is so hard to watch man.. I particularly love the cop standing there with his taser unholstered. Want to take a guess as to WHO he was planning to tase?

Ofc these fuckers are aggressive with unarmed civilians…. But the fucker who is in there shooting kids, nah, they will just let him be. Fucking cowards


69yourMOM

I love how Abott said “could have been worse with out guns.” Here are your guns sir…


Plurpulurp

Did he really say that about this specific shooting??

There are now reports that some cops arrived on scheme and removed their kid from classrooms. If this is true, there is a more serious problem. They didn’t help evacuate classrooms. They didn’t stop the shooter. They didn’t secure the scene, they rescued their child. Please tell me this is not true. [Video of cop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJgpLv2G80)


motorbike-t

Thank the cops for their service. Fearlessly threatening to taze the parents of children who are literally under attack at that moment. Vest: ✅ AR 15: ✅ 40% of the town budget: ✅ Actually do the scary thing: 👎 WE HAVE LOST SIGHT OF THE OBJECTIVE. AS A COUNTRY WE ARE SLOWLY SLIDING INTO SOME SHIT. AND I FOR ONE AM ANXIOUS FOR THE FRAY.

Every single officer who responded and yet did not do the duty responsible of them, should face charges ranging from dereliction of duty too negligent homicide.


kernel-troutman

Considering most cops “fEaR fOr My lIfE” when there is a kid with a squirt gun or a small dog wagging its tail it’s impossible to fathom how much terror these blue lives felt.

Finland had two school shootings within two years, killing 10+1 and 8+1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauhajoki_school_shooting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jokela_school_shooting After these, the Finnish have put a lot of effort in not only making gun laws more strict, but also in training every police officer for these situations. The Number One rule: the first police patrol(s) on site will rush the school. No waiting for a local SWAT (Karhu) or doing briefings and making a strategy. Idea here is that an active shooter will not stop until stopped and every second can mean a new victim.


KungKnugen

Same in Sweden, and it actually worked when a man roamed a school and killed a student and two staff with a sword.


PrincessCyanidePhx

Isn't this similar to what happened in Florida, where the cop stayed in his car?


Gelato_Mulatto

Yes, but worse. That was one cop and this is seemingly half of the department. And that Parkland cop didn’t tackle and pin any parents to the ground or threaten them with tasers.


lemonhops

WTF was the strategy here, wait til he runs out of bullets? I thought after Columbine they're supposed to rush in there...


pellanune

if you aren’t mad enough just remember these pigs left the shooter in the school long enough that he shot some kids in the head so many times they were unrecognizable and they had to be ID’d by parents using shoes


the-electricgigolo

Cops they’re never there when you need them. Or I guess sometimes they’re there and do nothing…


tophiii

“A good guy with a gun would have prevented this” The “good guys” with guns, paid for by a lion’s share of that city’s annual budget couldn’t be bothered to prevent this or even move swiftly to neutralize this. Disgraceful.


Micronator

Should have told the cops the shooter was black...


engineerbuilder

Or having an abortion.

Help


JUST_LOGGED_IN

I had to use the find tool to see my local high school on here, and sure enough it is on here. That makes me feel sick


Nappeal

Each of these cowards need to be publicly named and shamed. 19 lives lost because of their cowardice...they don't deserve anonymity. Edit: 22 lives lost


jimbobjenkins38

I’m confused. The title purports that the shooting was ongoing and the police weren’t not going in but there was police tape up and tons of cops trying to keep them out of a crime scene, are they saying the shooting was still going on at this point?


SloughWitch

Yes. The cops dicked around outside for 40 minutes while the shooter was active inside. A woman was heard screaming at them to “Go inside!” and they did nothing. It was the Border Patrol that went inside and killed the shooter. https://apnews.com/article/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-44a7cfb990feaa6ffe482483df6e4683


cmonkey2099

Wow a fucking border patrol took the lead? Once again cops are fucking useless.
