USA versus USA
It’s happened before
The police ain’t paying $500 million
🥰🥰🥰
A police officer must always put the lives of good people above themselves. That’s why they are heroes. 👮♀🚨👮
These clowns were NOT hero’s
They weren’t heroes on that day.
Usually not
They were not heroes on that day.
They will get this money they deserve it they dropped the ball just admit it these are facts…
Sue Abbott
POLICE MUST PAY
They should’ve paid in 2020 but theres no time like tomorrow
You are absolutely right
Yet it is a video game producer and the gun manufacturer that they are suing.
While they’re at it, let’s find out what the shooter’s favorite fast food was since that sustained him to be able to do the shooting. Then let’s find out what brand of pants the shooter was wearing and sue them since they clothed him at the time of the shooting. …we can go on. This suing is stupid.
If they win the lawsuit, who pays the $500 million and what kind of reprimand will the police face?
Let the state of Texas pay since their men were there and had superiority. Win win. Blue lives matters Texas couldn’t even train its officers right so let Abbott and the state pay.
The state of Texas mostly would.
Rolled up newspaper, literal or figurative.
@@shelbymitchell9024that’s a funny way to say the taxpayers
Tax payers. Its a scam and the cops are in on it
I back the blue…but in this case…dropping the ball ,cost precious lives.😢
Cowardly police!!
What took so long
They should sue for 1 billion.
Yes but unfortunately no fortune can replace your child
And who’s gonna front that? The department? That’s going to burn a hole in your taxpayer money
If only other parents thought like this.They typically immediately wanna sue someone or a business not out of a hope to fix something but out of revenge. @@ethanrom22
Absolutely the police department should be held accountable also the ones who knew he was unhinged and said nothing!
It’s not anout the money it’s about the ninety officers who were and are cowards! Those poor poor families who lost their babies! A lot of prejudicial actions shown from those officers on that day in uvalde!
The lawsuit is not enough it should be more than a billion
It is more difficult.
Always chasing money for anything and any excuse
Any excuse? You started your memorial day drinking a day early huh buddy 😂
He’s right you know? Every chance someone gets for losing a child in a gun violence event there’s always a move to limit the second ammendment or go after some form of action-oriented form of entertainment. And you can’t possibly tell me I am wrong. You just can’t. @@MoKa-zk2xy
NBC licking the boots of cowards 🙄
Those idiots will vote for the same idiots running the place AGAIN, and AGAIN… AND AGAIN…. And for the ones whining, there’s funds set aside for this.
If they win the people of Texas will have to pay.
_Forgotten but true:_ *Greg Abbott* and his buddy, Steven McCraw of the Texas DPS, touted the police response to the Uvalde school shooting as a “great job” that “saved lives,” and the usual platitude about the police risking their lives. It was reminiscent of George Bush’s infamous moment of _”Brownie, you are doing a heck of a job,”_ after which Michael Brown [then FEMA administrator] *_lost_* his job. Of course, Mr. Abbott weaseled himself out of the scandal after it became apparent that the police response was a failure. He and his DPS buddy soon threw the Uvalde police under the bus.
the police dont owe any of these people anything
They waited outside holding parents back while some of their colleagues chilled in the lobby asking for sanitizer. All the while the killer massacres young students left and right. Id say that money should be rightfully in their pocket
WRONG
If it was your kids killed in there while they waiting outside I bet you talk differently
@@danielthompson8867 its terrible what happened but to make the cops out to be the ones at fault and hate them is wrong to. only one responsible is the nut who did it
@@iLLogicalTHinker0 the police took precautions this happend after everyone freaked out over Floyd for some dum reason and hated the police for it, they did not want anything else to happen, again blame they creep who did this not police
Uvalde Cops are Cowards.
Can you believe 60% of their taxes went to those Cowards !!!!!!!
It’s pathetic
The lawyer need the money.
Peter Parker… Big Man.
Two years ago, Gov. Abbott didn’t bother to attend the funerals of any of the murdered children. Gov. Abbott was busy overseeing the placement of razor wire in the Rio Grande.
Can we also take a minute to note they are suing Activision as well. Because video games are the problem.
Yeah and suing Meta and the AR-15 Developer as well. I get you lost your children but look at the root of your problems not scapegoats. I’m not a parent but I am a freedom enjoyer.
Sure.
The money will make you feel better.
They must be broke and desperate
Side note: that one mom that went in and saved her kids despite being held back is just WOW. Pretty sure all those parents feel guilty that they didn’t do the same 👀
They aught to sue the government for failing to protect their kids and indoctrinating that LGBTNAMBLA cross-dressing femboy that somehow got a $6k line of credit at age 18 while working at Wendys Hamburgers. Like the government gives a rat’s avout our kids.
This is one of the most egregious cases of cowardice I’ve ever seen. To listen to people stick up for these police officers is beyond sickening.
77 minutes 💔
This proves that having officers in school doesn’t not solve the school shooting problem
Money, money, money. No amount of money will heal their hearts but they will feel more loss regarding the consequences of these lawsuits.
Why are we giving those kind of weapons to nutjobs…the cops was even too scared to help..and those kids was begging for their lives as the man taunted them n laughed n murdered them as the cops sat outside and allowed it as they begged for mercy
Ah yes $500 million will make it all better. Only in America folks
The families of the Uvalde victims feel the tax on the right to bear arms was too high a price to pay to protect my right to bear arms, but I disagree. I feel the price was just the right amount. The tax on the right to bear arms is paid with innocent lives.
This what our society is all about now.$$$$.”EVERYONE” of you families sueing should be ashamed of yourselves.You are just as sick as the individual that did it.Ohhhh,I forgot.MONEY MAKES IT ALL BETTER. Absolutely sick to make a financial gain on the loss of someone, speaks volumes.I believe the word of our lord says.THE LOVE OF MONEY,IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL!!!
Jesus Jesus Jesus
This life is full of misery
Sue the pharmaceutical company and the psychiatrist that prescribed the medication.
Cops spending tax dollars like they always do. Make cops pay this law suit with their own personal bank accounts.
Ridiculous that these parents must go through this. The city should have offered millions in the first place. Instead, they must fight for what is right. Shame on the city of Uvalde and shame on the insurance companies for not paying out right away. I am truly disgusted with these insurance companies and city leaders.
Why y’all sue call of duty
