Texas School Slaughter...

[Cow Poke]

wow --- reading the 911 call record. Heartbreaking.

[Cow Poke]

Instagram chats back in February and March of 2022 where he was laying out his plans to buy guns and shoot up a school.

[Cow Poke]

WOW... the "commander on the scene" (whoever that was) determined that it had transitioned from "active shooter" to "barricaded subject".

That is HUGE!!!!! That's apparently the reason there was no urgency to neutralize the threat - even though 911 calls were coming from inside the classroom indicating children are still alive, and he is still shooting.

This will go down in the history books as a classic case of how to do EVERYTHING WRONG in a school safety situation.

IMHO it was criminal!

The DEMOCRATS control the Public Schools in America.
The DEMOCRATS who are calling for GUN CONTROL have blood on their hands --- this was CLEARLY a failure of the PUBLIC SCHOOL system.
Protocols existed - but were not followed.
This was PREVENTABLE.

[Sardonic]Maybe the commander decided that as a member of a minority group, the shooter had legitimate grievances and should be allowed to vent.[/sardonic]

The police response reminds me of Parkland. Perhaps even worse

For sure the state response trying to excuse them is worse.

I think this is BY FAR the worst screw-up I've ever seen in an active shooter situation. BY FAR.

It only took FIVE MINUTES to get into the school - not 12 - through a door PROPPED OPEN by a teacher....

Once the police arrive and are shot at - over an HOUR passes as they treat this as a "barricaded subject" rather than an "active shooter" situation.

MAJOR bad judgement by the School District Police Chief.

What state response? I'm watching the DPS commander laying out the facts, including the fact that the "commander on the scene" made a bad decision.

Are you seeing something else?

You didn't see the DPS spokespersons interview with CNN? I made a post on it a few posts up. Still got my blood pumping with anger an hour after seeing it.

Ah, sorry - missed that. That was yesterday. Still there was a lot of info in flux, and today's briefing, just moments ago, was much more clear.

Just about everything that COULD go wrong went wrong. And the tactical decision by the "commander on the scene" was absolutely an RGE.

Yeah sorry, info in flux doesn't change what he said. He literally tried to excuse their late entry by essentially saying "hey they cared more about themselves than doing their job, and hey the gunman might have killed more people inside" (meanwhile that's literally what he was doing while they sat on their thumbs).

[Cow Poke]

Let's be really clear....

A) "barricaded subject" protocol - time is on our side, wait it out, bring in the experts, no real sense of urgency
B) "active shooter" protocol - do everything in your power to neutralize the threat, EXTREME sense of urgency

The on-scene commander changed the protocol from B (which it stated as) to A - which was absolutely clearly without question the wrong decision.

That "police chief" should NEVER work in law enforcement again - EVER.

Yeah, I got nothing.
