The "brave heroes" waited over 1 hour to enter the classroom while children were being murdered but they were quick to to stop and threatened to taze any parents who wanted to would go inside and save their kids instead of waiting for the cowards to react.
Of course the DOJ and their goons are the last ones who should be talking about accountability, failures and pointing fingers.
DOJ's Uvalde report finds "unimaginable failure" in school shooting responseA federal report investigating the police response to the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, found multiple failures by officers that allowed the attack to continue even as police were at the school.
The report, conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing, known as the COPS Office, looked at thousands of pieces of data and documentation and relied on more than 260 interviews, including with law enforcement and school personnel, family members of victims, and witnesses and survivors from the massacre. The team investigating visited Uvalde nine times, spending 54 days on the ground in the small community.
In a news conference after the release of the report, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said the law enforcement response was an "unimaginable failure," and that "a lack of action by adults failed to protect children and their teachers."
In the report, much of the blame was placed on former police chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, , who was terminated in the wake of the shooting, although the report also said that some officers' actions "may have been influenced by policy and training deficiencies."
Here are some other takeaways from the 600-page report:
The report found that police were on the scene within minutes of the attack being reported, and 11 officers went into the school three minutes after arriving on the scene. Five went toward the classroom, but all of the officers retreated for cover after initial shots.
After three attempts to approach the classrooms where 19 students and two teachers were killed, the focus shifted from stopping the shooter to evacuating other rooms, the report said.
The report found there was "a great deal of confusion, miscommunication, a lack of urgency and a lack of incident command."The report referred to this response as a critical failure, stating that several officers acted consistently with accepted practices before
retreating after hearing gunfire. Police also focused more on additional SWAT tactical officers arriving, a strategy that the report said should not delay a response. Since the Columbine school shooting, a "fundamental precept" of active shooter response "must be to immediately neutralize the subject," according to the report.
"Everything else, including officer safety, is subordinate to that objective," the report said.
The report stated that Uvalde Police Department acting chief Mariano Pargas, who has since resigned from his position, was in the "best position to start taking command and control and start coordinating with approaching personnel," but Arredondo wound up in charge of the scene. Arredondo has previously said he did not know he was in charge of the scene.
The report found that the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District did not have an active shooter policy, but did have a policy specifically related to incident command roles and responsibilities.
Twenty-seven minutes after the second round of gunshots and 75 minutes after officers first entered the building, the classroom doors were opened, the report said, and two minutes later, police entered the classroom. Responding officers included members of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, the Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit, and deputies from Uvalde and Zavala counties.
The shooter fired 45 rounds "in the presence of officers" before being killed, the report said.
