On the shooting.

This is some pretty crazy stuff. Poor kids. And yeah, cops waiting and letting the gunman shoot away is still just nuts. 

It gets worse, according to a Redditor:



A mom of two children at Uvalde was put in handcuffs after urging police and law enforcement to enter the school.


Once freed from her cuffs, she jumped the school fence, ran inside and sprinted out with her kids.

Cops stood outside the school while the killer rampaged inside. 


Onlookers yelled at them to go in. They didn’t.


One parent urged bystanders: “Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to.”


Spoiler: that parent’s daughter died in the attack while he was begging cops to save the kids.


My God.

The Uvalde shooter was killed by a federal officer because the other police officers kept waiting for more and more backup

additional kid died directly because the cops were incompetent. “When the cops came, the cop said: 'Yell if you need help!' And one of the persons in my class said 'help.'


The [shooter] overheard and he came in and shot her," the boy said.

Uvalde is a town of just 16,000 people. But it apparently has a SWAT team. 


We’re regularly told small towns need SWAT teams so they can quickly respond to events just like this. The killer was in the building for an hour.

The school district for Robb Elementary has its own police department with 5 cops and 1 security guard. The city of Uvalde's police department recieved just under 40% of the entire city's budget for the year and got a 500k grant from the state. Neither stopped today's massacre.
