Don't mess with Texas

I thought Texans were ass-kickers.

Why haven't they done something about the invaders?

Why did 367 of the faggots mill around with AR15s, while little kids were being shredded by .223 rounds for 77 minutes?

I would like to hold Chief Arredondo against a wall, and punch his face to ground burger. He walks like a big tough guy, and avoids questions. All these cops knew EXACTLY what they were doing !!!

THEY WERE WAITING FOR SWAT TO ARRIVE, SO EVERY ONE OF THESE FAGGOTS COULD GO HOME THAT NIGHT!!!

Most of the ballistic shields cops brought to the Uvalde school shooting weren't strong enough to stop bullets from the gunman's 'AR-15-style' rifle

  • Most ballistic shields used by Texas cops during the Uvalde shooting didn't provide adequate protection, a report found.

  • Just one of the four shields was rifle-rated, according to the new report by Texas lawmakers.

  • That one shield would be able to provide "meaningful protection" against the gunman's rifle, the report said.

Most of the ballistic shields that police brought in response to the mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school weren't strong enough to stop bullets from the gunman's "AR-15-style" rifle, an investigation found.

According to a report released on Sunday by the Texas House committee investigating the May 24 massacre — which left 19 children and two adults dead — just one of the four shields authorities brought to Robb Elementary School on the day of the shooting provided adequate protection.

"Only the last shield, furnished by the US Marshals, was rifle-rated," the report read. "The Committee heard evidence that the rifle-rated shield was the only one that would have provided meaningful protection to officers against the attacker's AR-15 rifle."

The committee said in the report that it found "no evidence" anyone told the on-scene commander, Uvalde School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo, about the rifle-rated shield's arrival.

Eventually, the rifle-rated shield was used by one law enforcement officer to provide cover for another, who opened the door to a classroom where the gunman was located. The shooter fired at police, who returned fire immediately and killed him, the report said.

It's not immediately clear who provided the three non-rifle-rated shields. Neither the Department of Public Safety nor the US Marshals immediately responded to Insider's request for comment on why only one of the ballistic shields was rifle-rated.

"Law enforcement on the street just isn't equipped to carry vests, shield, helmets and more that will protect them from high power rifle rounds," Katherine Schweit, a retired FBI special agent who formerly led the bureau's active shooter program, told Insider via email.

Alex del Carmen, a police trainer and the associate dean of the school of criminal justice at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, told Insider that rifle-rated shields are heavier, less penetrable, and require more training than a standard ballistic shield or riot shield.

He said it's unclear how many police departments across the US have rifle-rated shields, but added that they're very expensive — around $4,000 a shield — and the departments that don't have them most likely lack sufficient funding and inventory to obtain them.

Tactical equipment to respond to mass shootings, del Carmen said, is usually accessed through quick-responding SWAT teams rather than standard patrol units.

But regardless of the shield's rating, it's the job of police officers to "engage the suspect and kill the suspect," del Carmen said.

"Police officers are trained and they take an oath, which is that they are going to raise towards danger and they are going to go in there — even if they're outgunned, even if they're out-manned," he said.

Sunday's House report continues to detail the police response to the deadly shooting, including that 376 officers arrived at the school to confront the gunman. In response to the report, Uvalde's acting police chief was suspended.

The new report also comes just days after local outlets the Austin-American Statesman and KVUE obtained and published footage last week showing police officers idling in a hallway as the massacre unfolded.

Last week's leaked footage sparked immediate outrage from within the Uvalde community and among its elected leaders, who have resisted turning over documents related to the shooting.

Watch the 2 hour long hearing. The head of the Texas law enforcement said the police department were pussies and allowed it to happened. It ended real when boarder patrol operators showed and gunned his ass down real fast

400 cops there before anything happened. If that doesn’t tell you all you need to know about the typical cop then I don’t know what will. It’s a trash profession that attracts mostly trash people.

My cop friends were put off by the sit back and secure the perimeter approach they took.  Their feedback is that since Columbine all of their active shooter training says to announce loudly they are police and to engage.  Their statistics say that the majority of shooters take their own life once confronted by police so the initial goal is to start that thought process on the shooters part.

It went against that departments own protocol which they had recently done training on.   Right in there it says if you are afraid to put your life in jeopardy to save lives then we suggest you find another line of work.   While the person in charge remains most at blame its sad not one cop disobeyed orders and tried to save lives.  Not one of them should be able to wear a "protect" emblem again.
