A black-and-white American flag with one line colored in. While other police departments show a thin blue line, in Uvalde it is YELLOW.
They had just completed training two months ago that explicitly stated the first response is to go in and confront the shooter.
The officer who made the decision now makes the cowardly BS excuse that he thought it was a barricade and hostage situation rather than active shooter.
But there were ELEVEN 9-1-1 calls from inside the classroom by six different students reporting that children were still being killed. Gunshots and children’s screams can be heard on the 9-1-1 calls. GUNSHOTS ARE LOUD, especially from an AR-15. Students and teachers in nearby classes could hear the gunshots and children’s screams. Parents outside could hear them.
Surely the officers IN THE HALLWAY JUST OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOMS could hear them. Surely the officers outside could hear them as well.
Some of the children did not die of gunshot wounds, but rather from blood loss. If immediate action had been taken, how many children could have been saved?
There is an old Texas saying that applies to the spineless cowardice of the Uvalde police and the Texas Republican politicians cowering in fear before the NRA: ALL HAT and NO CATTLE.
