So that’s a no on the window?
Texas school shooting
- Thread starter Operational needs
- Start date
No, it isn't. Unless it has gone way downhill in the 18 years since I worked there. It's just south of the Texas Hill Country, has tons of trees in town(nicknamed "City of Trees"). Decent shopping for its size. A pleasant enough place.

By work there do you just mean trucking through there?

Remember the rules. Don't question anything the police have done.

Not sure I understand the thinking that because those people lived somewhere board members didn't like, the kids we worth less and somehow deserved to die.
Just a reminder that Uvalde county is heavily Republican and went 68% for Trump in 2020.

To be fair you wouldn’t want emotional husbands running up in that situation with a gun.Slain Texas teacher’s officer husband tried to rescue her but was ‘detained’ and had his gun taken

This was a good call by the police.
It WOULD have been a good call IF any other policemen had had the balls to go in his stead.

Or maybe they held him back because they didn’t want him to be the only one getting off his ass to actually do something?

Nothing to see here.... Move along.
No way in hell I'd be on the phone with my wife...
No way in hell I'd know my wife or child was inside...
And follow protocol.
Write me up, fire me later, do whatever admin feels they need to do.
But theres no way the people who depend on me will sit there without any action.
Too many people felt too comfortable doing nothing.

I’m not under any delusion that the officer would have turned in to John McClain: but at minimum he would have been “properly motivated”.

Wah wah police did nothing wah wah.
Okay that’s why I own guns, that’s why my defense is my responsibility, that’s why it’s legal to carry guns.
I’ve said it before police are nothing but paper pushers who are always going to be too late to save you, only get you in trouble if you don’t dot your i’s and cross your t’s when it comes to defending yourself.
I would never be butt hurt towards police over this kind of crap, how long do you people think it takes to murder 19 unarmed kids and women with a rifle? It was too late after a couple minutes passed at that point best judgement call would be preventing tragedy of officers dying going in to take the bastard out. Sure you can talk about 911 calls, survivors still in there, but it is basically over for those people. Yes I think it is despicable it happened and police response could of been better, but at the end of the day you’re the only person responsible for your life and the lives of the kids around you.

Oh oh but they held people back from rushing a gun man with a rifle!!
People tried to rush the Christchurch guy, they were all slaughtered like animals within minutes. Police made the right call keeping people from rushing through a door way into rifle fire without a plan.
Police probably are cowards who buckled in a situation like rushing a doorway under rifle fire. Can’t blame them, doesn’t sound fun. The only questionable thing I can really think of is why did they not try to shoot the guy from the windows of the classroom. It would be less of a choke point to engage him from than a doorway, which is basically guaranteed death.

Even the cops who did push together behind a ballistic shield took a grazing wound to the head and I think one got shot in the leg.
That’s coordinated and they still almost died pushing that doorway.

Two types of people...
The emotional yet level headed, trained and ready for the task knowing his capabilities along with the few of his squad who are the same...
Or...
The one yelling and screaming using the words "why aren't WE" doing anything.
I'm going to say he was the latter.
And for them to restrain and disarm him...
Also said the type of officer he was viewed as.
I have no sympathy for him because he listened to his wife die.

I love the “let the gunman run out of ammo or children to shoot before we do anything” school of thought.

You can bitch all you want, but the second that gunman made it into that classroom it was over in minutes for those people. They were already guaranteed dead.
Go watch Christchurch, he killed far more people and it was over in minutes once he started. It’ll give you people a comprehension of how fast a rifle can dispatch people cowering for their lives in a room.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
You people?
I was a domiciled courier in Eagle Pass, about 60 miles away. Met a courier from Uvalde on road in the morning and took my outbound up there several nights a week.

Yes the people criticizing police.
Is this more wah wah racism nonsense?
I’m just saying be honest with yourselves about this situation. Those people were dead, how hard would it be for you to hold down a doorway with your rifle trained on it, ballistic shield, no ballistic shield, etc.
