In reply to the discussion: Uvalde Police Let Gunman In But Tried To TASER The Parents [View all]hamsterjill
(17,938 posts)24. Okay, I'm trying to be rational here which is not easy.
I grew up there and this is having a profound effect. There is definitely more to this story than what is being said at this point. Too many stories circulating with valid information.
That said
this particular video shows a school bus moving in the background. So I believe this video was taken after the shooting had ended. My understanding is that the children who were evacuated during the gunfire exchanges were taken to a funeral home that is across the street. They were not put on buses until the scene was secured.
Im not trying to argue with anyone. We dont know a whole hell of a lot and there are certainly inconsistencies. But I want to try my best to stick to facts and not go too far out there until we know more for certain.

Pretty clear the "suggestion" is that cops should be doing that so parents don't need to.
