Mainecat Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Wait....I thought cops were the answer? https://apnews.com/article/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-44a7cfb990feaa6ffe482483df6e4683 UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Frustrated onlookers urged police officers to charge into the Texas elementary school where a gunman’s rampage killed 19 children and two teachers, witnesses said Wednesday, as investigators worked to track the massacre that lasted upwards of 40 minutes and ended when the 18-year-old shooter was killed by a Border Patrol team. “Go in there! Go in there!” nearby women shouted at the officers soon after the attack began, said Juan Carranza, 24, who saw the scene from outside his house, across the street from Robb Elementary School in the close-knit town of Uvalde. Carranza said the officers did not go in. Javier Cazares, whose fourth grade daughter, Jacklyn Cazares, was killed in the attack, said he raced to the school when he heard about the shooting, arriving while police were still gathered outside the building. Upset that police were not moving in, he raised the idea of charging into the school with several other bystanders. “Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to,” he said. “More could have been done.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) It's good that the cops were were able to keep the suspect contained in a classroom with 30 some children for an hour. Imagine the damage he could've inflicted had he gotten out. Officers could've been killed. Edited May 26, 2022 by spin_dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag6240 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Yeah, the cops were the wrong choice - maybe they were waiting for the mental health professionals to show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
