The left hates this guy.
What a inappropriate comment
HERO 100%
hes a hot hero too
@Eric Young VFX Hero! Protecting kids from trфns фgression
I think if it was God, 6 people wouldn’t be dead.
Also teenagers wouldn’t be stabbing other teenagers.
Never blame him. Blame the shooter.
Compare it to Uvalde
Bad things happen cause the world fell into sin
@Roberto Guerrero true people are forgetting about him and his gospel. All they care about today is lgbtq crap and nonsense
You guys are owsome you saved many lives I wish uvalde officers could have done like you many kids life could have saved
Nothing will be done to help prevent this type of thing happening again … And that’s scary
Actually these guys give. Little more hope that some people care enough to stop this
You can arm teachers
@Jesselibs don’t want to hear that, makes too much sense.
If parents quit trying to change their kids gender itll help!
What can be done?
These cops are true heroes. Their example of stepping into action and in the line of fire just shows how cowardly and pathetic the Uvalde response was.
Amen
Men👑
Beautifully said. I couldn’t agree with you more
yea…Uvalde really showed how cops will always be minutes away but a armed citizens can always respond in mere seconds… funny how Democrats love ignoring that and believe more gun control is the answer
Uvalde are not cops they are little boys with a badge that run away from danger instead of running into it to protect and serve
We need to secure schools like we do our airports, the president, the banks, government buildings and celebrities. Our children are most important.
Loss the bloody guns
@chris woods Come and take them.
@chris woods I agree – the GOP bans abortion but doesn’t cate if those kids end up being shot.
@Interfacer no let’s just keep doing this and go with Heathers plan. have fun when school taxes go up to 20-30k! we couldn’t buy them books or do updates, but we’ll save our guns by buying high security!
I urge you to look up the laws for certain guns before 2005. republicans took the regulations off high powered guns and you can see shootings EXPLODE to uncontrollable. now why didn’t people complain “muy rights” pre 2005 ?
They won’t even CONSIDER solutions.
They think if enough children die, eventually we will give up our rights.
So they refuse to vote on anything but gun laws… and let the bodies pile up.
GOD SHIELDED …..
PURPOSE…..
❤❤❤❤
1000 yard stare, still in shock….
Thank you for taking out the transgender democratic perp performing a horrible deadly hate crime. What are they teaching there children.
@Interfacer Congratulations on the one week old account 👏👏👏🧁🎉🎈🎁
@M.J. You use emojis and your concerns about the age of my account is a waste of your energy.
@Interfacer What’s your thumbnail a cartoon character with a gun, speaks volumes.
@M.J. Nobody cares about my profile picture besides you. Why?
@M.J. uh oh somebody’s triggered
Over the past decade, the Anti-Defamation League has counted about 450 U.S. murders committed by political extremists.
Of these 450 killings, right-wing extremists committed about 75 percent. Islamic extremists were responsible for about 20 percent, and left-wing extremists were responsible for 4 percent.
Nearly half of the murders were specifically tied to white supremacists:

As this data shows, the American political right has a violence problem that has no equivalent on the left. And the 10 victims in Buffalo this past weekend are now part of this toll. “Right-wing extremist violence is our biggest threat,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the ADL, has written. “The numbers don’t lie.”
In 2022, 18 of the 25 extremist-related murders appear to have been committed in whole or part for ideological motives, while the remaining seven murders either have no clear motive or were committed for a non-ideological motive.
All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, who typically commit most such killings each year but only occasionally are responsible for all (the last time this occurred was 2012). Left-wing extremists engage in violence ranging from assaults to fire-bombings and arsons, but since the late 1980s have not often targeted people with deadly violence. The same cannot be said for domestic Islamist extremists, but deadly incidents linked to Islamist extremism have decreased significantly in the U.S. over the past five years.
White supremacists commit the greatest number of domestic extremist-related murders in most years, but in 2022 the percentage was unusually high: 21 of the 25 murders were linked to white supremacists. Again, this is primarily due to mass shootings. Only one of the murders was committed by a right-wing anti-government extremist—the lowest number since 2017.
Americans have their own war…..against pupils 😓😥😢😫
Angels Among Us are Those who are put in places and at times they’re needed and Those who answer the call, AND Run Towards danger.
Heros who responded to the hate crime.
Love these dudes
I was raised to hate cops especially white cops… these heroes have completely changed my perspective. May GOD keep these guys safe always
I want to point out that this a reason why our school system is broken, I was actually mistreated by them when I was enrolled being wrongly labeled and also at one point threatened with legal action. I hope that this country will wake up and change this cycle.
Well if this isn’t the dumbest thing I’ve read today.
He should make a video as a training lesson for the coward officers in Texas.
These are really good guys who did their job… I get the sense they wish it hadn’t been necessary.
I think all schools need to make simple renovations to the entrances of the school so that you just cannot shoot the glass and get through. And doors of course should be locked in the day.
They look uncomfortable. Like they did their job but it’s weighing on them that they took a life. I don’t like this spotlight on them.
Time to hold the LGBTQ responsible for their actions complacent in the committing hate crimes against religious groups
Officer Rexburg , ” I had no business being where I was “. That’s all you need to know. I hope that poor man has a way to a country with no extradition . He’s going to need that soon.
Psycho.
All of them…. HEROS ….
I’ll forever appreciate the opportunity given to me by Maskoffaid after the sorted all my debts and added a top up $4,000 into my western union name for cash pick up thanks
God dammed heros
Thank you heroes!!❤😂
HEROES!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Brave men
Real police work. Not the nefarious murders of innocent citizens.
The trans community has been real quiet since this.
what does the trans community have to do with this
@L T the shooter was trans
Why are Police Associations not publically supporting common sense gun legislation?
Let us hear from the teachers and kids.
They are the heros.
Cops are targeted by and also clean up the mess left by semi-automatic rifles.
Are you watching this Uvalde LEO’s?!!!
The last four mass shootings were done by trans people or those that identified as non binary….
Think about that!!!!!
The media is hiding this! Then they blame right wingers! The left is killing people and that’s a fact!
take your pills scizo you only care about these shooting because they were done by trans people nothing more you turn a blind eye to the thousands of mass shootings that cis people do
You saved so many lives
Thank you
Thank you for your courage and bravery to save lives to shut down this evil. Thank you for regarding lives as precious. May the Lord God save you, bless you, and keep you safe during your time of service🙏🏽
Bad boys right here
The lesbian shooter should’ve js killed themselves instead of these innocent lives who didn’t live it to the fullest i can’t imagine how their parents are feeling
Couldn’t imagine nor do I want to do know that experience must have been like for these officers. They don’t and could not train you for this type of situation.
true heroes
You can call it God ty
God bless these men and thank you for your service. You are an honor to the badge and your bravery will always be remembered. 🙏
Uvalde needed you
Hero! Protecting kids from trфns фgression
🤦♂️🤦♂️ its you’re job well not like dumb old Texas response time thank God
God bless them
Uvalde needed this cops 😢
99% of police are worthless
The Cowards of Texas! They should make a movie out of it.
Everyone here in Nashville knows this is a cover-up for that specific covenant school. They let a pedophile stay in the church after the man confessed to m o l e s t I n g two underage girls (11 Y/O and one 14 Y/O). The s h o o t e r attended the school while they were allowing this guy to stay in connections with the church, members, and youth. It is much bigger than a mental health issue
Thank each and every one of you officers.. you did what every great officer would do without regard for your own safety. Thank you, thank you.. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Leave it to some good old country folk to get the job done
Heroes do not wait for a total of 376 “Heroes” to be there before trying to be doing something!
they need special pants to hold their balls 👍👍👍
Good job guys, that’s how it’s done, immediately go in and stop the aggressor. You don’t wait to come up with a plan, you act. If the government. can send trillions of dollars to Ukraine, they can afford at least 2 police officers at every school.
The cowards at Uvalde should take notes, and then resign.
They are in no way the cowards in Texas
American Heros
I’ve watched the body cam footage 100 times. Every single round that hit that baby killers body was like an angels voice from the Heavens. This scum deserved nothing less than what they got.
Thank you for saving life’s.
As a Native Texan…I hope DPS is watching this
Hoax😂😂
These are the kind of cops we need here in Coral Springs, Florida and Uvalde, Texas. These men are real heroes, not the paycheck drawing chicken cops in the other towns.
I feel really bad for that cop, looks like he is pretty shook up, i hope he gets help.
I feel like I’m watching an add for Great Clips
Wow what an insensitive comment.
Heroes!
Good job officers
How about do your job cop . Stop hunting humans and know your community.
You can see and hear the pain and sorrow these officers feel by the look on their faces and the sounds of their voices. 😢
Absolutely perfect guys thank you for your service.
These wonderful officers are truly our Nations heros. Thank you for doing what good cops are hired to do.❤❤
FTPforlife
Good men
no reason a principal can’t have a gun , these so called heroes make the rules about self defense, an armed principal could have stopped the shooter and the heroes enforce laws that prevent her from doing so, I wasn’t impressed, the shooter clearly had life and the cop popped some more bullets into her , she wasn’t a threat anymore

Rest in peace all of you and may your parents take their children by the hand again in heaven 🙏
That’s the legends, yup and word around town is the devil has gotten softer. They lit her up quick like oatmeal. Thanks guys.

Contrast to Texas troopers: When I saw shell casings, I immediately initiated a series of phone calls while taking shelter behind cars.
Just knew some turd would bring up Uvalde. Unless you’ve walked in a man’s shoes. Don’t speak I’ll of them. It’s all tragic. It’s all senseless. Thank a liberal democrat for todays problems.
They just waiting for the chance to violate somebodies civil rights. Corrupt always.
Nevertheless. Good job to both of you. Period.
Now these lads are top cops thank them.
America and Guns.
“For all who draw the sword will die by the sword’”
Matthew 26:52
These cops didn’t think, didn’t wait for command to give them orders, they heard the word shooter in school and did what every red blooded American would do? ACT..
Thanks guys. Immediate heroic action saved so many kids that day.
Clearly, the willful-ignorance of the general public needs no introduction as they have no clue that what we saw was a confirmed police training exercise that went live in the media. We’ve only been subjected to this scripted gun control propaganda for the past 16 years ever since Obama was selected. In fact, ALL these so-called ‘mass sh00tings’ have been nothing but DHS-required drills,….and they’ll pull the same stunt again at a school, a public event, a bar, a synagogue, a church,……sounds very familiar to all the staged crap we’ve seen before. These events have never produced a single death in any of them. Even the 20 Connecticut school kids are still very much alive and well,……………CONFIRMED.
I have had my biased troubles with law enforcement in the past. I must say I really respect these Nashville heros and it gives me hope that true officers still exist and I’m very proud of these gentleman. Thank you so much. I stand behind this blue. As a Nashville native I’m extremely proud to be guarded by these God given team of law enforcement soldiers. They took immediate action and put their selves between life and death to further prevent any more fatalities. Words can not express how much I really respect how they responded with such bravery to protect innocent children and adults. I will never forget them and I feel so sad that innocent families were tore apart of this act of cowardice. May God give them strength in this horrible tragedy.
Heroes
Thank you gentlemen. You are true heros. As a parent I thank you. As do many others..
You guys are angels with guns on that day
I can’t imagine what they went through. You will be forgiven guys.
Awesome police. Most police are awesome.
Now these cops deserve a big thank you
From my Family to you and yours,
THANK YOU For your service, sacrifice, courage and quick response and elimination of the suspect. It is a reminder of the difficult job that GOOD OFFICERS perform. Knowing the decisions that you make can create life changing experiences.
These officers saved lives.
I don’t really like cops but I have to take my hat off to these guys ,glad you came out safe
Sucks i dont want to thumb this up because the fake news pushes this crap to happen
