Ah, yes. The classic bureaucratic excuse of "multiple systemic failures". If the "system" is to blame then you can't hold individuals responsible. So no one will lose their jobs or get reprimanded because it was the "system".Texas House Committee Releases Interim Report on Uvalde School Shooting, Press Conference and Link to Report
The families of the Uvalde Robb Elementary school shooting victims met privately Sunday with a Texas House committee who released an interim report on the events that took place. [Link to 77-Page Report Here] Following that private meeting the committee held a press conference where they spoke about the report and took questions.
The committee, led by State Rep. Dustin Burrows, shared what they learned as they looked into the school shooting. “If there’s only one thing that I can tell you is there were multiple systemic failures. I would invite everyone to read the entire report,” Burrows said at the press conference. “You cannot cherry-pick one sentence and use it to say everything without reading and without context. But if we need a simple phrase to describe what the report says, again I would tell you multiple systemic failures.” WATCH:

There were 380 some police officers on site. I see the FBI was also there. They had I believe a drill in that school a few months before . Knowledge of the layout of the classrooms would have been known. Two rooms connected by a door. Windows that could have been breached No tear gas lobbed in .. Nothing but pleas from the commander .... put your gun down don't shoot anyone else.Ah, yes. The classic bureaucratic excuse of "multiple systemic failures".

This is a very cruel joke. Certainly all the senior police officials involved should be fired. As for those that waited in the hallway while children were calling 911 for help - I don't know how they can live with themselves.
"Just following orders"From the comments section posted above
As a Combat Veteran this is infuriating to watch. How was there not a single officer with the courage to move towards the threat? You all let those precious little ones down in the worst way possible. Just standing around gripped by fear, waiting for backup when back up was standing right behind you! All while wearing bullet proof gear with more than enough firepower. Those kids and teachers had absolutely nothing to protect them. Not even you all that just stood around in the hallway, while the police chicken in charge tried to negotiate with that lunatic. I’ve been to war and in hostile environments and gun battles so I know what it takes. You move forward at all cost. Relentlessly. You all had everything you needed to get the job done. It’s so sad to see none of you had the courage to protect those innocent lives. It really is. What a disgrace to the uniform.

exactly why BaCk ThE bLuE is smooth brain nonsense.These people have been so indoctrinated into "chain of command" that they will follow orders even when they know they are wrong.
Shouldn't there be about 400 cops out there holding up that sign.
Part of understanding the chain of command is knowing when to break the chain.Shouldn't there be about 400 cops out there holding up that sign.
Also, it should probably read "we're waiting for one BORTAC guy brave enough to say 'fuck this chain of command'"
Exactly why I said I'm not watching this video when released. 2 border control guys out of 380 L.E. officers were the only ones with any balls.Seeing them standing there upsets me quite a bit more than just hearing they were standing there.
Had to make sure their latest scapegoat was doing his job, most likely.I see the FBI was also there.
A big cluster fuck all around...After watching the aforementioned video for an hour, I was angered, appalled, words barely describe what is was like. Some observations of officers directly within the hallway and thier actions/ appearance-
Many had ar15s. None engaged.
Many on cell phones texting.
Shield available within minutes. Noone advanced
Many with body armor.
Some with full tactical gear. Noone moved.
Flash bangs/ smoke/tear gas in hall within minutes. None used.
1 officer left to retrieve med kit from cruiser more than a block away before even attempting to breach, which he never did.
Noone took charge until BORTAC came.
Plenty of opportunities.
Multiple gunshots as they stood around.
Sick. Fuck orders. Do something. You should rightly be labeled cowards forever, embarrassed to be in public, and shamed to show your face again.
Edit- my kids were/ are in the military. Multiple tours for 2 in combat. 1 permanently disabled from it. In speaking to one of them who had to breach IN COMBAT MULTIPLE TIMES it would have only taken 1-3 guys seconds to do it. The entirety of thier failure to act is bullshit.
Edit
Gets even worse...
Change Denver police to concealed carrying citizen and this is a much different incident. The citizen would be sitting in a cell facing multiple charges while being hammered by the media and anti gun crowd.Gets even worse...
Cops saw a gun, and became the mass shooters.
Denver police opened fire into a crowd, injuring 6 bystanders, while going after a suspect who never fired a gun
The department police officers opened fire three times in the span of a week — fatally shooting individuals the Wednesday and Friday before the Sunday shooting.www.insider.com
