the police had enough equipment and weapons to try to save the children. three minutes after the subject entered the west of the building, there was some wearing body armor to isolate, distract and neutralize the subject. the only thing stopping the hallway of dedicated officers from moving to room 1:11 and 1:12 was the unseen commander, who decided to place the lives of officers over the lives of children. the officers had weapons, the children had none. the officers had body armor, the children had none. the officers that turning, the subject had none. one air, that s how long the children waited and their teachers waited in room 1:11 to be rescued. while they waited, the on scene commander waited for radio and rifles.
what it all comes down to is the power of the ar-15, the high powered semiautomatic rifle made for warfare that an 18-year-old was able to legally buy and carry into that school to rip him embodies apart. doctor saw the bodies of some of the children said that some of them were decapitated by that weapon. that held texas police officers from state and local police forces at bay for over an hour, for over an hour, local uvalde police and the small police force of the uvalde school district, along with state police officers and some federal officers, failed to rush into that classroom for over an hour because they were afraid of that weapon. yesterday, the head of the state police forces said three minutes, three minutes after the murder entered the school,
of officers over the lives of children. the officers had weapons, the children had none. the officers had body armor, the children had none. the officers that turning, the subject had none. one air, that s how long the children waited and their teachers waited in room 1:11 to be rescued. while they waited, the on scene commander waited for radio and rifles. then he waited for shields, and then he waited for swat. lastly, he waited for a key that was never needed. they wouldn t because the police were afraid of what an ar-15 could do to them. based on the hundred runs that he shot in the short amount of time period, could he have done as much damage, i think we all know the logic answer, with a bat or knife or a revolver?
