#NBCNews #Uvalde #Shooting
Every cop should receive 50 lashes!
they “protect and serve” themselves
officer safety first right guys, doesn’t want to get clapped but their the first to shoot someone else for no reason
Should be Obama and not Biden campaigning. Obama has the energy to bring and lift!
TRUMP STRONG !! LIKE MANLYMAN POOTIN & GLORIOUS RUSSIAN ARMY & TALIBANS & UVALDE POLICE & DPS
He needs to resign but his ego won’t let him. Still insisting they did the right thing. There were plenty of things those officers could have done. They had shields and equipment. They could have tossed smoke and mace through the window.
..did the right thing…… let those children get shot!!?? That man makes me want to throw up!!! They need to remove him! Stop asking him to resign ! Just yank his a$$ of that position!!!!!🤬🤬🤬
@patricia rangel He keeps lying about everything. I wonder who can actually fire him?
False Flag
ANTIFA !! I KNEW IT – THAT WAS RAY EPPS @ WORK…..
Texas strong, Texas stupid.
Everything about this mass shooting is sickening.
So much incompetence. So much yellow streaks
along these men’s backs
Defund the Police over half of Uvalde budget was for the Po Department. The police are a money grubbing scam….a cult
IT’S CALLED EASY MONEY BABY – FOR WHITES ONLY !!
It’s embarrasing and disgusting how these coward cops cover each others back. If their kids were in that classroom, they would have acted in an instant. But Justice and Police act different when lives of black and Latinos are involved.
To the lawmen that were all cowards, it was just a class room of Mexican children that to them didn’t deserve the same response as had it been a class room of white children. Sad fact plane a simple. I’m from Texas and of Mexican haritage and I have many times seen the ugly underbelly of the racism that runs deep in Texas.
mexicans are the WORST RACIST OF ALL !!
@King Salmon Troll
Cowards with the big guns. Easy to shoot an unarmed person. Show your real colors when it comes too real challenge.
What a piece of garbage
Instead of DPS maybe they should rename it to DPF, Department of Public Fear
Imagine if the law enforcement were part of the LBGQ movement
You have these men on camera admitting they do not want to be caught in the crossfire, but NOT ONE member of LE has spoken out about the AR-15? The public has seen the force this gun has, making LE job harder than it already is. Yet not one says a word.
My 5 year old grand daughter has more courage than these Uvalde cops!
Instead of overweight bubbas, police agencies need to hire military combat veterans who have discipline under fire and prioritize the mission instead of their own butts.
Another reason why all police departments should be a Federal Department and have the same training and high standards as the Marine Corp. Police have no Honor
Cray literally said that he’d be the first to resign if any DPS personnel were implicated in the failed response. Then someone was fired for the failed response. Cray is a coward and a liar.
Cowards. Wow.
My hands are shaking.
The Cops were more worried about dying than having Honor to charge into danger without hesitation. The Police need to be restructured.
I wonder how the US Military would be if it had Cowards worried about being “Clapped Out”. Police have no Honor
“I’m not trying to get clapped out”. So you will let the children get “clapped out”? Coward.
So, that idea about having good guys with guns works how?
There has to be a good guy…which obviously none of were in attendance at Uvalde…or anywhere else according to the news…only criminals have guns…and cowards.
Fire them all protect and sever is there oath they all failed
In a active shooter situation you don’t wait on backup as you go right in and eliminate the perpetrator and if there is collateral damage then it is perfectly acceptable.
Fueling anger…exactly what the liberal media wants.
“I’m not about to be clapped out”… says it all as tothe attitude of those who are there to serve and PROTECT!!
BIG COWARD
Cowards!!!
“Live for Nothing or Die for Something”- John Rambo
Cops let it happen
A whole department of Cowards.
ACAB. Abolish the police. We need to take a completely different approach to public safety. Every individual needs to take control of their own safety. Police aren’t reliable.
definitely get the vibes that he is purposely not resigning solely because the parents and people are commanding him to. just plainly out of spite. it’s disgusting.
So the NRA claims both written and spoken that guns are a god given right. That is both libel and slander. Who else wouldn’t want to see this in a court room with Wayne laPierre on the stand explaining how god told him this. I hate the NRA, the talk about patriotism so much yet pay zero taxes, while paying hundreds of millions to stop any gun legislation. How can this be? Think about it a non profit pays zero in taxes yet has power to do whatever they want and get away with it. This is so in American. And millions of Americans are ok with this and listen to their thoughts and prayers, when they profit no matter who buys a gun a good guy or a bad guy. This company just wants to sell guns they don’t care. And after every school shooting they want to arm more people, teachers, and armed guards. Which will takeaway from what school is all about learning. Schools shouldn’t be the Wild West. But the NRA, just keeps pushing guns with no restrictions.
“Texas” “America” “Cops”
This is why being aint a safe job.
Not a man of his word
It’s been about an hour” like saying ” they should be dead by now” omg such cowards
The director failed those children the families and needs to not only step down but if he does not step down needs to be fired he failed that community best wishes for the family the children and staff members that were senselessly murdered on that day may you all rest in peace prayers and hopefully peace come back to you
He should resign for lying about what happened that day as opposed to what happened that day, all those Feds and State officers that just so happened to be in Uvalde that day seem very suspicious and all of the audio and video released of all of their inaction is even more suspicious, as if they were conducting a school mass shooting drill dressed up as a real shooting, the 911 calls need to be released and I’m pretty sure that they will sound just as suspicious, Democrats love to play false flag school mass shootings and Republicans love to play false flag terrorist attacks, God help us with our wicked government
All of those cowards need to be prosecuted criminally. ALL OF THEM!!
At this point I’m surprised he’s not arguing we should make the Uvalde response the national norm.
It’s simple. Ffuucccc every officer who is reading this.
Clowns
Every cop on the scene of that massacre is a coward and every one of them need to go. Period.
They didn’t want to get clapped out but all the kids were getting clapped out
As a former marine and firefighter i couldn’t ever imagine standing back saying im not going in a boring building for a kid. Or a firefighter fight.
I mean I get it as much as possible you guys don’t want to get hurt or worse die so you need to be careful enough in this kind of situation.
But, seriously y’all took job that deals with everyday danger. Just like I’ve taken a post as an accounts payable assistant I am expected to ensure timely payments to suppliers, you as police officers are expected to do your job to make sure people are safe. Remember we didn’t take up that post in the first place because we know we can’t be part of police force but yall made choice and oath to people and you’re being paid for your service. What kind of service is this? This is pure irresponsibility. Idk. My head is hurting coz of too much anger
They forgot to mention how many officers were standing there. 400…. 400 officers. ✌🏼
Uvalde Texas will forever be remembered as the deadliest school system in the country! The school system motto: Enter school at your own risk!
He shouldn’t have a choice! WTF
Citizens paying police officers salaries should sue the police department for failing to do their job to protect and serve! They should all be fired and parents get a settlement from the department! Fire them all!
Texas department of officer safety
Brilliant support from Network television and the Democratic party defund the police on the people defund the police and arm the people please will Democrat for defunding the police
Not men cops dude even I got shot out
Over paid pigs , remove them from their jobs
A lot of high ranking officers should be sent to the unemployment line and banned from Public Service for life. We won’t get any accountability from these people. Texas wants your pay back, empty uniforms won’t cut it!
There is no situation in society that can’t be made worse by police presence
The only people cops have conversations with, are other cops. They have interrogations with the rest of us.
Put all those coward cops in jail including the coward
husband
Why does he have the option to resign or not. He should be terminated for failure to act with responsibility during a school shooting.
This is crazy.
He should Resign
Did that DPS dude say “DPS did not fail the community.?”
Police unions need to step up and stop the madness! We can not be safe with all these guns killing us and our children at record levels! More guns are not making us safer! Quite the opposite!
I admit it, I am a cowardly type person, I don’t do dangerous things, never have. But I also didn’t want to be a police officer. If I can, at almost the age of 70, run to help my neighbor the other day when all I heard was the sound of a saw and then heard him cry out in pain for help (he was not the one using the machine, he’s ill and had fallen) and I couldn’t see past my shrubbery to know what had or hadn’t happened–if I could do that, thinking I might face something awful, then someone who wants to work as a police officer should certainly be able to charge into the fray even if they don’t have all the facts, ma’am. I didn’t think twice. I knew someone needed help immediately.
Great reporting as always
Why should he step down. Those polices officers had too be careful. They didn’t know what the shooter look like. They only knew he was young. N it was a lot of young man in the school. It’s not the police fault those kids died.

As George Lopez says … Mas jotos!!!!!
Why did they hesitate??? Did the shooter have connections???
Heroes
Pressure needs to be put on whomever can remove this man from office.
Just a bunch of cowards…makes me sick
Cowardly maggots!!!!
“I’ll bury 25 officers before I bury 1 child” when they raised their hand and got sworn in to serve and protect thats the end of the debate. “I’m not trying to get clapped” should of been the last thing on his mind. What a POS!
“Are you a man of your word?”
“Abso… Absolutely.”
That little stutter is pretty telling.
Whattabuncha flapping vaj lips
Such a sad sight, a bunch of dudes with guns that didn’t want to use them to save kids
That’s why they cut out the audio on the other videos. It wasn’t because of kids screaming. They didn’t want us to hear the cops pussing out.
duh-I blame the lib-er- als! you think if trump was in office those cops would have been wormy little cowards who decided that they didnt wanna do the job they signed up for ?! no way bro ! its also californias fault ,somehow too!
More bull.
Cops only duty is give people ticket make money, fire all cops and save people money
Weak and cowards!!!!!
So many of them and so little shooters. All of them in protective vests with far less likelyhood of fatality over injury vs all of those children with nothing and no protection. The sad thing is so many parents that would have rushed in there for their kids but didn’t because the cops were already in there and we’re supposedly handling it.
Why did they do what they did 😳❗🥀
He needs to personally dig every grave for each of the kids he got killed with his bare hands…then he needs to go behind bars.
They would die anyway. Why do you care so much?
It’s time to change the leaders of texas who’s failed to protect the very communities of this state
I back the BLUE. But, these guys are cowards.
Garbage cowards
That’s where NWA said “f the police” and rightly said atleast for Texas dps
each and every last one of those “cowards” should resign!
A perfect example of how stupid it is to “back the blue”
They’re government agents who work for us, despite the common police attitude that they’re better than us and “heroes” 🙄
If I recall, NBC News is part of the group that tried to fuel the BLM movement for the Kenosha shooting incident by lying that black people were killed by the Kenosha kid and that white people can get away with murder. Fact checking them would find that actually, no black people died and the court, judge, and jury would deliver that it was justified self defense. Be careful of what they spew viewers!
They have one job to do protect and serve. In which none of them did. The police had on more protection then all🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ 💐💐.
The Democrats and fake Republicans finally realizing that we shouldn’t rely on police/government. The parents also didn’t do anything. If I was there and my kid was inside, I would have gone in with my weapon.
