| #21 Seems to me that the police chief of the Uvalde Police Dept, etc.and others in charges should be held responsible and fired! |

| #19 you will not find the best police officers Probably true. But the best people are not determined by pay. |

| #18 run toward the shooting and engage the shooter Well, that's what we were instructed in case of an ambush - charge the shooters. |

| #17 Also listened some to LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva on KFI's John and Ken Show. A sensible guy in a crazy town, Sheriff Villanueva told John and Ken that the job of law enforcement in a situation like this is to run toward the shooting and engage the shooter. "That's the job," he said. Calling for backup and helping the victims can wait, he said. There is no ideal solution but the main thing is to stop the shooter. But host John Kobylt later asserted that in a small town like Uvalde you will not find the best police officers because the best ones will moved to bigger cities where they can make more money. |

| #15 The hysteria comes from the media and the political posturing comes from...well, you know. |

| #14 Over and over again we find failures, anomalies, hinky people and just a general surreal weirdness surrounding these events. Last night Tucker Carlson compared our response to these shootings to airplane crashes. The crashes, he noted, are thoroughly investigated to determine what went wrong and how it can be corrected. But the responses to the shootings are hysteria and political posturing. Well, there's something right there that needs to be corrected. |

| #13 Whomever the officer who put that lady in handcuffs should be the first to go. She was doing what he should have been doing. |

| #12 ^ Thankless job. Don't get the idea I am anti police. As I said yesterday, maybe it's time to stop putting fish in a barrel. |

| #11 Read the over 2,000 hostile comments on the Uvalde Police Department Facebook page before they turn off commenting. https://www.facebook.com/uvaldepd |

| #10 Well. The "protocols" didn't stop the carnage. But they did corral people who were trying to stop the carnage. |

| #9 Gomez has two children in second and third grade and she said she drove 40 miles to the school after hearing of the attack. She was one of the desperate parents who encouraged police with increasing urgency to enter the school. Eventually, federal marshals put Gomez in handcuffs and told her she was under arrest for intervening in an active investigation, the Wall Street Journal reported. Angeli Gomez jumped the school fence and ran inside the school where she rescued her children herself Gomez said she was able to convince a Uvalde officer whom she knew to have the marshal free her and she took the opportunity to move away from the crowd, jump the school fence, and ran inside the school where she rescued her children herself. |

| #7 CORRECTION:. The above border patrol agent was not the one who shot the shooter, he was on one of the teams going from class room to class room evacuating kids and searching for the shooter. |

| #6 I hope someone is scouring the videos looking for the guys with the high and tight haircuts and khakis lingering across the street. |

| #5 ^ No. He will be fired for "breaking protocol" and not letting the body count climb higher. |

| #4 Did this brave officer act as part of the 'on site' LE team or was his an independent act intended to end the carnage ? |

| #3 The irony of Joe Biden may have to honor a border patrol agent who otherwise are not allowed to do their job. |

| #2 Border Patrol Officer who took out the mass shooter was getting a hair cut, got a text from his wife who is a teacher at Uvalde elementary school and whose 10 year old daughter is an elementary students there, that there is an active shooter there, "Help!". He borrowed a shotgun, went in and shot the shooter while taking a round across the top of his baseball cap and was wounded by another round during his firefight with the attacker. |
