Police waited an hour for backup in the Uvalde shooting

Most “active shooter” attacks in America end within five minutes. The attack on Uvalde schoolchildren lasted an hour.

That is how long police waited for backup Tuesday instead of moving on the gunman, who sprayed classrooms with bullets, leaving 19 children and two teachers dead.

That revelation, which a Texas law enforcement official provided Thursday, has enraged parents who wonder whether a quicker response could have saved lives.

It has also confounded experts who say the delay deviates from standard police practice, which says officers should do whatever they can, as fast as they can, to stop a shooter’s assault.

“Waiting an hour is disgusting,” said Sean Burke, a recently retired Lawrence, Massachusetts, school resource officer who is president of the School Safety Advocacy Council, which trains districts in how to respond to shootings. “If that turns out to be true, then it is a disgusting fact.”

NOT TRUE!!

The Wife of one of the Police Officers that was in the school said he was in the school within 8 minutes of the first call to 911.

The POS perp was opening the door to the classroom randomly and shooting at Police preventing them from getting close until more
    Officers arrived.

JIZZ-WANKER2...   STOP SPREADING LIES!!!

ABSOLUTELY TRUE!

Authorities have given confusing, piecemeal and contradictory accounts of the attack.


Their latest version, delivered at a news conference Thursday, described officers’ pulling back and calling for help — body armor, snipers, negotiators — while the gunman held them off with gunfire from inside the classroom.

Texas Police Lieutenant Says Cops Were Reluctant to Engage Gunman Because ‘They Could’ve Been Shot’

Wouldn't it have been a lot better for the shooter to have to engage the trained and armed police than having those police run away while the shooter engages the kids and teachers?

Lessons learned.  Fund the cops.  Give them respect commensurate with their value, and don't piss on them.  At least no one is claiming they killed a minority, so fry them like bacon.

Now you know why the Second Amendment exists!

So you can defend the lives of those precious to you when the government can't be bothered!

So the bottom line is, we need good guys with guns to confront bad guys.

Democrats would have defended the shooter if he was connected to a Mexican drug gang!

Texas officials say officers should have confronted school shooter earlier

Texas law enforcement officials now say local police were wrong to have waited to enter the elementary school in Uvalde where a shooter killed 19 students and two teachers on Tuesday.

At a press conference Friday, Steven McCraw, the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said officers outside the school believed students were no longer in harm’s way after the suspected gunman barricaded himself in a classroom.

“From the benefit of hindsight, where I’m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision. There’s no excuse for that.”

[D2D]

Of course, you fool!

It has been SOP since 2000!

This was a failure of intelligence and of leadership!

Why do you want to tar every police officer with the label of coward?
