Today we learned that Texas law enforcement officers stood by for almost an hour and refused to enter Robb Elementary School while a Salvador Ramos was inside shooting children.
According to the Associated Press, frustrated parents begged police officers to charge into the Texas elementary school where a gunman’s rampage killed 19 children and two teachers.
“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.
Cops refused to stop killer who shot and killed 18 kids in Texas — instead, they stopped parents from storming the school to save their kids!

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.”
Angeli Rose Gomez drove 40 miles to the school upon hearing of the shooting, and she arrived, said “The police were doing nothing. They were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”
Gomez said that she was only one of several parents at the school demanding that officers stop waiting around and go into the school. It was then that “federal marshals approached her and put her in handcuffs,” the Wallstreet Journal reports.
The marshals told her she was being arrested for “intervening in an active investigation.” Gomez was able to convince local law enforcement to free her, but said she also saw a father pepper-sprayed, and another tackled and thrown to the ground by law enforcement as he tried to go to the school. His 10-year-old daughter was massacred in the slaughter.
Once freed, Gomez moved away from the crowd, broke into a run, jumped a fence, and ran inside to rescue her children. “She sprinted out of the school with them,” the Journal reports.
Cops stood outside the school while the killer rampaged inside.

Onlookers yelled at them to go in. They didn’t. One parent urged bystanders:

When police did finally enter, their incompetence got another kid killed. A boy in the school shared his account with KENS News Channel 5, “When I heard the shooting through the door, I told my friend to hide under something so he won’t find us,” he said. “I was hiding hard. And I was telling my friend to not talk because he is going to hear us.”
“When the cops came, the cop said: ‘Yell if you need help!’ And one of the persons in my class said ‘help.’ The guy overheard and he came in and shot her,” the boy said. “The cop barged into that classroom. The guy shot at the cop. And the cops started shooting.”
Looks like the Uvalde, Texas cops may have also gotten another kid killed with their incompetence… According to student account police told kids to yell for help, shooter heard the kid, then went and shot him.pic.twitter.com/ENuw8IEnmi

None of it makes sense!
According to law enforcement, Salvador Ramos crashed his truck into a ditch outside the school, grabbed his rifle, and shot at two people outside a nearby funeral home who ran away uninjured.
Officials say he “encountered” a school district security officer outside the school, though authorities had conflicting reports on whether the men exchanged gunfire. After somehow bypassing safety locks designed to keep people away from the kids he ran inside, and then fired on two arriving Uvalde police officers who were outside the building, said Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Travis Considine. The police officers were injured.
After entering the school, Ramos charged into one classroom and began to kill.
According to witnesses, police refused to enter the school for an hour as the madman continued to shoot students inside.
Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw told reporters that 40 minutes to an hour elapsed from when Ramos opened fire on the school security officer to when the tactical team shot him. However, a department spokesman said later that they could not estimate how long the gunman was in the school or when he was killed.
Meanwhile, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said officers had trouble breaching the classroom door and had to get a staff member to open the room with a key. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation.
According to some local reports, some officers went in to get their own kids out first and then waited to go back in after the shooter had killed everyone.

This is the veteran BORTAC Border Patrol Agent who took down the Uvalde shooter, after police reportedly stood by and did nothing for 40+ minutes. He was shot in the leg, and a bullet grazed his head.https://t.co/i18Eb1knWs pic.twitter.com/cRMTQm2K9W

School had extensive safety plan and AI social media monitoring systems.
According to NBC, in 2018 The district adopted an array of security measures that included its own police force, threat assessment teams at each school, a threat reporting system, social media monitoring software, fences around schools and a requirement that teachers lock their classroom doors, according to the security plan posted on the district’s website.
According to the Daily Mail, Uvalde school district was part of AI program that rooted out potential mass killers and monitored social media for threats and potential shooters. They say Texas school officials had been monitoring students’ social media prior to the deadly shooting in Uvalde Tuesday – but failed to pick up on posts from gunman.
According to its creators, the service – powered by advanced linguistics technology – scans and analyzes digital content to pick out and flag potential safety and security risks, as well as mental health and social and emotional concerns.
The software scans selected digital content – in this case, thousands of students’ social media accounts – and identifies language that fit those criteria.
Another excuse to take your guns?
Within minutes of the news breaking, democrat lawmakers were already using the shooting as an excuse to call for gun bans – even as they knew police officers, who most assume would protect the public – refused to enter the school and stop 19 kids from being slaughtered.
The President used the latest mass shooting as a rallying cry to ban guns – the shooting that law enforcement agents and the FBI again failed to stop, despite the shooter’s past behaviors and getting into a shoot-out with the shooter before entering an elementary school. But, of course, Biden failed to mention that. So instead, he focuses on using this tragedy to take away your freedom and ability to protect yourself from these criminals.

It was ok for the leo to go into school to get THEIR kids… BUT not ok for parents to go in and get THEIR kids.. More of the THEM vrs US mentality. Now after finding out the facts about this shooting….Do not give up your guns ever… 911 will fail you… every time when life is on the line. Who can stand around and know kids are in harms way, and that person does nothing…
We were discussing this on another forum. The whole incident was a setup. Period. Just like 9/11. Only thing is they fucked up, this is only making us mad at the LEOs “standing around outside, arresting parents”. I can’t wait to hear all the bullshit interviews and press conferences, staged of course. If this were to happen to a gov official or potus, the rifleman would have been gunned down before getting 500 yards away. We the people need to keep our eyes open a bit more, the only protection us and our children will get is from each other. Protect and serve is gone, non existent, paid off to stand down. We’re on our own people, make friends with OPSEC, stop looking at your fucking phones.
LOL! When reality intrudes, just find a conspiracy theory, cut and fit, and retreat back under your rock and pretend that you’re a steely-eyed freedom fighter. “OPSEC” indeed. You’re posting on a public site!
