how does a message get so lost. how do we hear so many different [inaudible] i m going to start with this and ask my colleagues if they want to comment as well. multiple systemic failures. our report does not look at other comments made to try to compare, contrast and whatsoever, we ve laid out the basic facts as we were charged with to do. which i said earlier on about lie enforcement, the officers who knew or should have known that this was an active shooter situation, by their training and experience, should have done more. we are very clear on that. not every officer on the scene had that same information. or had that same opportunity to comply with their training. one of the things this committee has not done, because we are a three-person committee. it s to go through and determine which law enforcement personnel knew wet, where did they know and when they knew it. in order to do that, i think it s going to take many months to go through all the different video, bod
private and his main job was to make decisions. he should have stepped outside the door, immediately outside. a few steps on the back of a police vehicle, established a command, bring the sergeant lieutenants and. if that second steak of three did not go right into the classroom, that is where the leadership then comes in. let s get more officers right here. they go in. sun somebody around through the windows. that s where the leadership has to operate. but it failed. so, who are the sergeants, lieutenants, captains, agents and charge on the federal side, border patrol, commanders, would they need to get to that on scene command? and the school district police, he has to set the flag. he has to set the spot. but he didn t. he became a private in the first tranche, and you cannot run the war that way. that is really the failure of everything. all that has been talked about, hundreds of officers, hand sanitizers, all that stuff to me is chaff. sand in your eyes.
you would need to talk to the mayor and i respect the mayor s decisions. after reading the report into doing what he thinks needs to be done to protect the people of uvalde. the second question that you asked was, remind me? [inaudible] i think at the end of the day, we do not specify which officers should have taken over command in here, because that would be kind of a little bit of our opinion as to who should have. when i will tell you is this, there were officers in that building who knew or should have known more needed to be done, and there are also officers who should have seen some of the chaos going on and at least, at a minimum, if they did not take over command or try to assume command, they should have begun to ask questions or offered their support and guidance, and eventually maybe they would have gotten command to having better response from that. the lady in the front row, go ahead.
police chiefs to assume command and control of the scene, but has the report states, quote, the chief of police was one of the first responders on the scene. but as events unfolded, he failed to perform or to transfer to another person the role of incident commander. this was an essential duty he had assigned to himself, yet it was not effectively performed by anyone. and just moments ago, the mayor of uvalde called for the release of all body cam footage of the uvalde police officers on the scene that they. the mayor also announcing a short time ago that the acting police chief on the day of the shooting is now placed on administrative leave. the findings also laid out a long list of safety protocols, barely enforce, and often ignored, which allowed the shooter to walk right and. but despite all these failures, this report states that, quote, no villains were found in the course of the investigation, aside from the attacker. joining me now on the ground in
officers on the gunshot there s another officer right there with a rifle on the right. there s another officer on the right. they are not wounded. there is more. there they should then for a three stack and go back down and go in. if that gets repelled, or fails, right outside the door where they should be the on scene command. the agents in charge of the collective agencies should all be standing there. and for more people in to the breach. that is with the leadership failure is. the leadership failure is not immediate. the active shooter training you just go right in. you call back to the chief for the sergeant, you don t do that. when it is repelled, that is where the leadership has to be on scene to say okay, we go through the back, we go through the window, get more officers. jim, let me ask you on that. we have all seen the video of the officers retreating. and the report says that they
