This broke my heart : imagine what teacher Arnulfo Reyes

[malaise]

will take to his grave

The fucking police ran away. Reyes’s voice is still shaking.
The entire Texas government should resign.

1. Uvalde police's response was not acceptable.

[atreides1]

2. Yes it was...

It was acceptable to the Uvalde PD and to many in the town who are still defending them!!!

[Stuart G]

5. Totally correct. "NOT ACCEPTABLE"

[madaboutharry]

3. There were 911 calls that came from his classroom, room 111.

Ii is hard to comprehend police officers behaving with such cowardice.

[inthewind21]

17. Why

When was the last time the police, any police anywhere did anything heroic that you can remember. There is this myth that is the police. We just got a healthy slap in the face with what they really are. And newsflash, it's not just the police in Uvalde, TX

[Jedi Guy]

22. Google is your friend. You'll find many examples of LEOs being heroes if you care to look.

Are all cops heroes? No, clearly not. Some are in it for the paycheck and the pension when they retire. Some are in it because they enjoy throwing their weight around and dominating their fellow citizens via the power conferred by the badge. And some are in it for the right reasons and want to help and protect their communities.

The world is more nuanced than you seem to perceive. Not everything is black and white, and not all cops are cowards because the officers in Uvalde stood by while children were being killed.

23. Before they died.

None of the children in his classroom survived.

[Bluethroughu]

4. The police should be fired, and local up through the governor should resign.

The Governor actually took time to tape a video for the NRA...disgraceful scum.

[erronis]

14. They can't afford to resign. Then they lose their "limited immunity" protections (and paychecks.)

Americans have never been good at admitting fault, taking blame, or falling on their swords.

They're Exceptional!

[Nevilledog]

15. Qualified immunity which is almost limitless.

[Bluethroughu]

16. If or when they are voted from office or fired, they just move on up to some other

Government appointed position to cause problems.

I'm so sick of these kinds of people in office. They don't have a different idea or opinion on how things should be run. They just grift off the public while hating their job, they don't bother to do.

They are inefficient on purpose, for their donors.

[inthewind21]

18. Yet

Voters keep putting them there. We can blame officials all we want. But the reality is, they got there because citizens put them there.

[Bluethroughu]

20. I understand, but the gerrymandering of districts does not help.

[Samrob]

6. This video should be shown in the Senate everyday until they ban AK-15 and other assault weapons.

I can't stop crying.

[malaise]

7. Mr Reyes will cry to his dying day

This lis unbearable for the parents, the kids and their teachers. As he said I lost 11 children.

[Magoo48]

11. "Protect and serve" has become a morbid joke on America. "Harass and bully" is today's motto.

[Rebl2]

10. I agree

Show this to republicans. Don’t know if it will help. Have decided the vast majority republicans in congress are cold hearted and only care about themselves.

[Novara]

8. I keep comparing them to the Capitol Police who committed suicide after J6 ...

... because they were so traumatized.

And here, the police stood there with their thumbs up each other's asses for more than an hour while 19 children DIED. Talk about a complete lack of honor, of humanity!

[Delphinus]

9. ...

[Initech]

12. Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton should both be in prison.

The blood of Uvalde and future mass shootings that will happen is entirely on their hands. They failed to protect their citizens.

[inthewind21]

19. Their citizens

Put them in office.

[Initech]

21. I've always wondered - if Florida is the penis of America...

Does that make Texas the asshole?

[Snackshack]

13. Well...

Once again the GOP and NRA have been very successful in changing the narrative away from the real problem…guns and focused it on the cops and the response to the shooting like they did with Columbine. Totally glossing over that there would have not been a shooting that needed a response if these AH would stop putting $$$ as more important then childrens lives.

FPO💩AH’s…
