The nearly 80-page report was the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in the South Texas town for the bewildering inaction by heavily armed officers as a gunman fired inside a fourth-grade classroom.
The report - the most complete account yet of the hesitant and haphazard response to the May 24 massacre at at Robb Elementary School - was written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives and released to family members Sunday. The report noted that many of the hundreds of law enforcement responders who rushed to the school were better trained and equipped than the school district police - which the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the state police force, previously faulted for not going into the room sooner.
Family members of the victims in Uvalde received copies of the report Sunday before it was released to the public. Flowers that had been piled high in the city's central square had been removed as of Sunday, leaving a few stuffed animal maps scattered around the fountains alongside photos of some of the children who were killed.
“Arredondo's search for a key consumed his attention and wasted precious time, delaying the breach of the classrooms,” the report read.
I blame social media and BLM. Police are afraid to do anything because of the abuse they have had to deal with over the past few years. So thankyou for creating this mess you bunch of hypocrites
The committee didn't “receive medical evidence” to show that police breaching the classroom sooner would have saved lives, but it concluded that “it is plausible that some victims could have survived if they had not had to wait 73 additional minutes for rescue.”
I call BS. The enforcement people did not react immediately because most of the students were not white. They didn’t care if those children died.
'Systemic failures.'... THIS is a great start to fixing the mess with our wicked commie school boards and activist teachers:
Gutless cowardice is now systemic?
Yet they all still seem to have jobs and none of them have been charged with Criminal Negligence Causing Death… Weird…
The cop in charge is responsible 90%!
They didn't 'fail.' They did nothing and allowed more killings to happen. They may as well have broken down the door and joined in.
Selling a political narrative priceless
no shit
Gun control
It is so upsetting to watch the lethargy of the police officers on premises. Unnecessary tragedy.
It didn’t fail, it worked exactly as it’s designed
