The fact that the police backed off and stood safely away after being shot at, but LEFT THE CHILDREN BEHIND?!?! They absolutely ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN

OMG THESE OFFICERS ALLOWED THE CHILDREN TO BE SLAUGHTERED. THEY ACTED LIKE NO TRAINING POLICE FORCE, INCOMPETENT ACTIONS. WHAT A SHAME FOR THE ENTIRE POLICE FORCE. THEY SHOULD ALL BE FIRED

I’m a mom. I would not need ANY gun… nor shield…. NOTHING would’ve stopped me from running towards the gunman to save my child. Period.

The heavily armed cops stood around in the hallways while teachers, armed with nothing but their courage, threw their bodies across the children in an effort to save them. I don't know how those cops can live with themselves.

77 minutes is ridiculous those officers should be fired!

It absolutely breaks my heart to see this. The fact that they stood by while the teachers and kids are absolutely defenceless- calling for 911 WHO JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR?!! This is despicable. So many lives lost...

They took their precious time making sure they weren't being shot, while kids were literally getting their life taken. That's fucking sad that they came in after 77 minutes :( r.i.p to those angels

Heavily armed--and armour protected--cops prioritized their safety over the safety of at-risk, defenseless children? And these men now look at themselves in the mirror... how?

After watching this I can’t stop thinking of those poor kids and teachers . My heart goes out to the parents and families of the victims. Tell your family you love them and hug them everyday because the places we believe they should be safe and the people we believe will protect them isn’t always the reality in this country anymore. 😔💔

They wouldn't be standing around if those were THEIR children in there.

if your too scared to be a cop don't be one.

I’m glad I waited to form an opinion on the response of the police , because now I see it’s far worse than I ever imagined

those officers are just as responsible as the gunman for those innocent babies and teachers deaths.

Imagine how many of those kids would still be alive if the police would have just did there job 💔

19 kids 2 teachers. Get your facts straight thats embarrsing

One of the most cowardly acts by the gunmen, but incomprehensible that those paid to serve and protect allow children to be slaughtered. Tragic and criminal.

The entire 77 minutes video is available on KZfaq; anyone can see it; I saw it, and my stomach is hurting. The most glaring demeanor was an officer cleaning his hands while the monster was inside, killing the innocent kids.

I can’t imagine the pure terror and fear all those little kids and teachers were in.🥺

I don't get why the cops are so scared when there's more to them than the shooter

They claimed it was suicidal to try to breach the door but it never crossed their mind that children were only praying to be rescued!!! They had no fire arms, no bullet proof vests nor 7 agencies to back them up, only their beloved teachers!!! #JUSTICEFORUVALDE6/24/22

Did anyone hear him say 19 teachers and 2 students?

Why was NO ONE on a speaker trying to talk him out? This is honestly worse than I imagined. I have my doubts that the gunman was even alive when these fools finally went in, and I just trip out that some ambulance worker, doctor, whatever he was trying to be the boss of the cops!!! I guess he could tell what a cluster it was and thought someone needed to boss these idiots around!!

I hope all the police officers that were involved in this. Get what they deserve & know what they could have prevented.

wtf is wrong wit the officers ? if they’re gonna be scared like that why would they pick that job 🤦🏻‍♀️

How could all those cops just stand around?

THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES , As always. They stood up like cowards on this hall way

They where holding back an officer who was trying to go in. His child died that day in one of those classrooms

I always thought "maybe the press is over reacting" until I saw this cowardly display. 100000% justified out rage. ONE officer could have pie sliced the 🚪, capped that piece of human excrement, and saved all of those kids. Instead they stood by and listened to BABIES BEING MURDERED! I hope ever last one of them is charged with multiple counts of negligent homicide.

Poor kids crying desperate for help while officers stood hiding outside classrooms for 70mins 🙁😭 I can’t believe it! The fact that they didn’t push through and engage the shooter costs kids their lives. They were such cowards

When seconds matter, the police are only an hour and 17 minutes away.

The only statement this police department should be making to the public is, "Yes, we f*cked up at every possible turn, here are our badges. Plus, we're all moving away."

Armed Cops with body armor ran away to leave defenseless kids and teachers with that monster for 77 minutes.

Now i understand why they didn't want the video released. This looks really bad

One of the police officer even have time to sanitized his hand... just goes to show little they understood the urgency of live and death

these officers were definitely trained over zoom

But you know if one of the officers had a child in that school they would've been there and did what they were supposed to do when they were supposed to do it , not an hour.

This is so heart breaking

What I learned is that each school should have an armed security guard that has keys and knows his way around that school

it seems like the police cared more about their own safety than the safety of the children

COWARDS 😡😡😡

as Texan, this is utterly shameful. I can't believe my tax dollars are going to this. I'm paying so that me and my family are protected by a bunch of incompetent cowards.

How did he enter the school so easily? Our doors are locked at the high school I work at

Overweight cowards standing around

That kid should never have made it into the classroom. They should have been all over him. Those cops should be charged with crimes. Teachers need guns.

COWARDS , COWARDS. COWARDS. Fire them all .

This is so so so heartbreaking. Arm the damn teachers, put them through training & protect our damn kids. These police aren’t protecting shit but themselves.

Disgusting. Absolutely cowardly. You would think out of all those officers ONE would have thought about those children and acted. Orders or not.

Heavily armed, but lacking courage. RIP ... all the ones who were courageous and my heart goes out to the families of the dead.

This is disgusting.. you can’t be an officer and a coward. You’re in the wrong line of work and it shows!!!! I’d love to have a world with the chief🫠

Absolute cowardice

It’s 19 Student and 2 Teacher. Not 19 Teacher and 2 Student.

19 students, 2 teachers

So like, I hope it was a teleprompter mis-error. He said 19 teachers and 2 students were killed. It was 19 students and 2 teachers.

It’s crazy that the children had to sit there in the classroom and wait to be shot and wait to die while these grown ass men stood around and do nothing. There needs to be some sort of legal action against the whole station and everybody that was there.

They were waiting for airstrike support as usual. What a joke..!

They wouldn’t just stand there if it was their kids.

I can’t believe someone could hurt children

You know what stupid After they killed the gunman You can see the ones standing behind began to act like they're ready to march in like bruh

The actual fuck? This is absolutely sick. Why am I only hearing about this now…

He told the girls teacher “goodnight” and shot her and that’s sad and killed one of her friends imagine being ten and watching ur teacher and friend die

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. CRIMINAL CHARGES ought to be brought against all these police officers 💯 3:14 waiting for the key to open the door????? BREAK THE DAMN DOOR DOWN. Innocent lives were lost because of EXTREMELY POOR JUDGEMENT 😤

Not only did the police stand by. They stood by while hearing the screams and hearing dozens of lives being taken. They could've saved so so so many kids if they hadn't wait that long. Shame on them. They are no better then the shooter.

My question is was their nobody watching the camera in the school office during this? The gunman was just casually walking around with a machine gun on camera and they didn’t even call a code red it seems.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but the gunman looks ultimately out of it, he almost looks confused. He's swaying back and forth if you look really closely, something about this is off...

The fact that parents lost their baby’s that day and those cops didn’t do shit

i’m not even a mom i’m just a sister and if my sister was in their nothing would stop me nothing i wouldn’t hold back bc it’s not safe

Over AN HOUR?! I’m ducking angry.

The full video is already out. It has been for hours. Had no idea that the families didn't get to see it first, nor that that they had previously requested the audio not to be available. It is disturbing to have audio.. To be honest.. I mean, audio of gunshots that you know murdered your child, it's a lot, they're already going through hell, I think that if they requested that beforehand it should have been honored. Just put of basic human decency you know.

Their job is literally to protect us. There is a big risk you could get hurt and even potentially killed as a police officer. Why are they retreating ?

No. The police should have acted. Not stand around as cowards. All should be fired and prosecuted for professional negligence in duty. No excuse for them. If you can’t do the job don’t put yourself out as some hero person because you have the job.

What's the difference between a bully not wearing a badge & a bully wearing a badge? That is the only difference, because they are both bullies. One just have the Law to protect them at all cost than law biding citizens.

My favourite shoes when I was little were a pair of white florally light up shoes that my Grandpa had bought for me. I loved them so much I kept them when I out grew them and just smacked my hand against the bottom of the shoe to see the lights. I grew up in England, where school shootings dont happen, where I didnt have to worry about taking my shoes off and hiding where I couldn't be seen, I didnt have to worry about going home to my Mama at the end of the day because I knew I was safe. America - You NEED to change your gun laws. How many more little children have to die before something is done? Why can't you keep your little one's safe? If you're all as "Pro life" as you claim then you'd care about your LIVING BREATHING children who have to practice lockdowns once a week. You'd ban guns so that children could learn about volcanoes and Benjamin Franklin in peace and safety To the police men who stood back and watched children and teachers die - I hope you never know a moment's peace. I hope those screams terrify and torment you forever. To the teachers and children who lost their lives, I hope they find heaven or whatever they believed in. And to the parents who have holes that can't be filled. I love you and I'll think of you as I close my eyes to sleep tonight

He said 19 teachers and 2 student’s were killed. 🤦🏽‍♀️

All those officers should be held accountable.. and I wonder why they didn't want the public to see this video.. maybe to cover something up🤔

as a teenager now i shouldn’t be thinking about how terrified i am to send my children to school in the future.

My heart hurts 😞🙏🏼

People with evil mind...may god have mercy

A disastrous failure.

19 students and 2 teachers

Unacceptable

this was on my newspaper at school 💀💀💀

I understand why they edited the screams out, but I believe that the screams should have been left in. This sanitation of the horror isn’t what’s needed. The public should hear those kids begging for their lives, screaming in pain and terror, because maybe hearing those cries ringing out will actually be enough to make someone really step up and give these “officers” what they deserve: true accountability.

I'm very upset.

Hard to watch and possess a ethical question should we?

My school has a security desk. So this situation should not happen at my school. rip those angles 💔💔🕊️🕊️

Why was the protocol to get in the room I would have been telling the kids run get out not get in the room and become trapped that is the dumbest thing you could have told those kids do was get in the room at that point he was shooting from outside I would have been like run out the back of the building. So many things went wrong that day and it makes no sense to why this kid did this it's almost like he was being pressured into it somehow

Unbelievable!

Sad

Not only do we not know how many babies were shot during those 77 minutes, but how many could have been saved if given medical help during those precious minutes?

Wicked act, may God have mercy

May God have mercy

The problem with slowly releasing information is that the people of Availed start healing but receive painful hurtful information reliving their nightmare over and over. Think people. Releasing it all entirely allows the healing process to begin and not be interfered with. Every time another release of information is released, you heartless people make those people relive their nightmares, those trying to heal cannot because is reinjuring them, but you cannot understand that simple fact because your thinking about milking this thing for as long as you can to gain all the money possible out of it. It doesn't matter to you if these parents are reinjured or not, right? Plus those ignorant authorities withholding information, they are hurt the Uvaulde people the most. Release it all so that these people can begin their healing process. Do you understand that you inconsiderate merciless ignorant people?

officers didn’t do shit when they could’ve. they waited too goddamn long idc what anyone says.

I do not see who is “in command” in the hallway…lots of men …which one is the “school police officer”?

Everyone get ready, The American Tax Payer will foot the bill for their new training.

cowards man freaking cowards, those sweet innocent children needed you!

The fact they left all those poor babies to die breaks my heart

19 teachers? Get you info right for the people who lost their loved ones cmon man.

DOESNT IT SEEM LIKE THESE POLICE IN THE HALLWAY WER MORE LIKE PROTECTING THE GUN MAN... MAKING SURE NOBODY INTERRUPTED HIS MASSACARE??? SICK . SICK . SICK.

🤔 remember when we Never Saw Adam Lanza? Why now?
