In reply to the discussion: Uvalde Police Let Gunman In But Tried To TASER The Parents [View all]nowforever
(586 posts)Police encountered Ramos before he entered and as he entered school but were unable to stop him. This is an 18 year old who had the gun, he was carrying, for about a week and they exchange fire and then retreat as he slaughters the children and teachers. They walk around outside with their automatic rifles in hand yet cannot enter school to engage suspect. He locks himself in classroom and they cannot figure out how to get in the hallway near the class and take some action. They are trained in firing their .223 automatic guns along with hostage situations and yet this kid somehow outguns and out maneuvers them. I understand the risk but you need to attempt to get in that classroom. Amazingingly, for almost an hour after he locks himself in class they use a key (that was available from the start) to enter the class. They have tactical gear and body armour and yet are afraid to get near the classroom for an hour. So the police listen to kids getting slaughtered and protect themselves from harm. It demonstrates most cops are hero's on the outside and cowards on the inside. Meanwhile the teacher's confronted the gunman as he entered and then stood in front of the children and were mowed down...the cops wearing body armour and automatic weapons cowered outside while pushing parents around...pathetic.
