Austin-area investigator Jesse Prado presents his independent review into the Uvalde Police Department’s response to the Robb Elementary shooting during a special meeting Thursday of the Uvalde City Council.
Makes sence now, he has over 24 years of experience. For over 24 years he has never seen any police wrong doing. Ever. So nothing to see here. Just another day. Coward!!
This is about nothing more than politics. Disgusting and vile. If you don't know, this guy was a paid "expert". Paid experts say what you pay them to say. Prayers for all the victims and families. They are being revictimized again and again. It's despicable. And who is this former Austin PD guy? Clearly his mamma didn't teach him good manners or respect. You take your hat off indoors. He blatantly refused. We see you!
Texas spent nearly $1.3 billion on state policing in 2020. The state's department of public safety has a budget of $2.3 billion - and they could not deal with one kid with a weapon in UVALDE
They stood outside the classroom listening to little kids screaming and dying just a few feet away. Not one cop tried to stop it. COWARDS! ALL OF THEM!
Qualified immunity that’s one phrase that needs to be removed because I don’t know of anybody anybody who would be entitled to that correct me if I’m wrong
It’s so ridiculous that they would hire a retired LEO…everyone knows when they investigate themselves they never find any wrongdoing..what did they expect when hiring him?
COWARDS you signed up for a dangerous job to protect and serve but they chose officer safety first over kids lives. This breaks my heart. God bless all families that have to go through this for the rest of their lives. Just sickening blaming it on the parents because they trying to save their kids because the COWARDS weren’t OFFICER SAFETY IS A JOKE 🤡
He should have removed his hat during the hearing in respect of how serious this was. Would be interesting to know if he was armed during the hearing as well.
I'm glad I'm not the only viewer who took notice of his hat remaining on. My guess is that at least a few of the other men at the table are regular hat-wearers. Yet all their heads are uncovered.
It's sad that border patrol officers had to come in and do the job of the police and 21 children and teachers had to pass away from such a horrible senseless act of evil
One of the authors for the state police training program during the state legislative hearing summed up the response "Uvalde was not a lack of equipment. It was a lack of commitment." The locals had the tools and faild to use them.
“Council and I are hearing this presentation for the first time tonight and have not yet received this report, while we do not know the results of the report or what Mr prado has found or recommended we know that hearing this presentation will be emotional. But we are asking everybody to please hold their comments so we can get through Mr prados entire presentation.” -Mayor lying through his teeth about not knowing the results of the report.
I kept thinking about that declaration while he asked pointed question after pointed question indicating that he had indeed heard this presentation before. It would not come as a surprise if they rehearsed this whole thing well in advance.
Ironically if a brave officer had stepped up told other officers to get behind him and follow him into the room to take down the shooter …”if I fall you guys keep advancing” would have been a policy violation.
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever, in my 30 years of LEO, listened to an investigator so unsure of himself and led like a pony chasing a carrot. 🥕 painfully and simple, over 400 LEOs failed those babies and the teachers.
The coverup is strong with this one! What a joke. Did they really believe this would be acceptable? Take off your damed hat! Show some respect to this community! My heart goes out to all those who lost children and their heroic teachers in this heinous attack! My prayers are for our Lord to wrap these people with his loving spirit. Give them strength Lord God. Given them answers they seek and bring the cowards to justice, who stood by as children were massacred! What they did was obvious! It is on video for all of us to see. What is not clear, is why! Were they not supposedly trained police officers and a SWAT team? They are so brave blasting down the door on a home, but stood by as that shooter killed in a school without challenge! Y’all can’t cover this up! We know what you did (or didn’t do) and no number of whitewashed reports are going to assuage our opinions to accept their actions that day! To those involved; It’s time to man up and face the consequences of your actions! Get some stones and do it now! My loving thoughts to all of the Uvalde community from your neighbors in Spicewood, TX.
"Hands that shed innocent blood" I'm a 30-year career inner city, sub-rural, and way out there, Paramedic . I have been made to do CPR at gunpoint on a woman whose husband just shot her in the head. It would take all of those cowards to hold me back, and then they would have to shoot me. Let me tell you something: I run too what people run away from. And I would be packing. God bless God's little children. Proverbs 6:17-19 says, “These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.
The investigator and the council embody at least 3 of those abominations...lying tongues, a heart that devises wicked plans, and a false witness who speaks lies. I don't believe for one moment the council wasn't aware of what was going to be in the report and the canned answers that were asked of the investigator and the quick.responses. without hesitation lead me to believe they might have even rehearsed the question/answers.
@@oldladyfish he ran away after his report. The families demanded he come back. He came back and sat there smugly wearing his hat the entire time. One of the families called him out the crowd started yelling for him to remove his hat and not once did he take it off. He sat there smugly the entire time wearing his hat. Piece of 🗑
I’m mortified over that hat! I’m from North Carolina but I do live in Texas now. These people are about the hat but honestly after all these years I’ve never seen a “true” Texan be so respectful. It’s typically not the culture down here! He makes me sick as they all do!
None of these cops ever went to school ! When as CHILDREN YOUR TRAINED TO GET DOWN AND REMAIN SILENT DURING A SCHOOL SHOOTING ! Your JOB IS TO RISK YOUR LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS ! Should have called the Fire Department !
what a waste of this city’s money. 2years later and it’s becoming crystal clear that even a negative report (like DOJ’s) wouldn’t have likely resulted in any “mandatory” actions. bc If both of these outside investigations don’t have aplacable consequences to justify the time spent stalling actionable consequences before now… then what the hell are we doing with this community’s hearts, minds, funds, time, and trust?? you don’t need a guy who isn’t willing to look beyond his hat brim to be the deciding factor for these officers when he’s not even willing to receive feedback from the crowd he’s too scared to look at or speak to once that decision making power has been delivered and wielded. This entire aftermath is so disgraceful I just can’t comprehend how this community can be split on the subject? I don’t live there and even I have immeasurable shame for our nation. The ACTUAL TRAGEDY of those poor lives is just another victim to the attention the coverup has stolen. Those lives matter. If you can’t decide who’s fault it will be to say whos fault it was, then at least don’t squander city money pretending to care it was ever about the children.
31:45 Did Sargeant Page help evacuacte children from the classroom? That question demonstrates that this is a pr move not an investigation. They didn't ask that about every officer, they knew he did that so asked the question specifically about him trying to justify him staying on the force. Has nothing to do with policy.
This presentation did not inspire confidence. A real slap in the face. It feels like a joke. God strengthen these families and survivors seeking accountability.
You can see this was rehearsed before they had this hearing, even the guy asking questions helped him out in the answers, I went to uvalde to Robb school on nov 24 2022 6 months to the day of the massacre, to pay my respect for the victims, I’m from New Mexico, this man was supposedly paid 100 thousand dollars of children’s blood money,,he should give that money to the victims family, also he showed very poor respect not taking his hat off, what a Moran, sgt Torres disabled nam vet.
soooooooo policy TRUMPS being a decent human and protecting people? and did policy say we MUST stop parents from going in and saving their own children? nice how they ALL have policies to STOP us from doing whats right and saving people!!!
what’s with all the dramatic page-flipping pauses to answer the questions regarding each officer’s fate? if every single officer was indeed already determined to have “acted in good faith” across the board …. It seemed awfully performative to imply finding the correct page in that notebook would result in individualized answers. Further proving this point, he flawlessly recited specifics about each officer and their positive contributions from heart *without the aid of the notebook.
It is entirely possible that no one person violated any specific policy, which would lead to that conclusion but ignoring the fact that the Chief of Police himself did not take charge explains he i s one sided
Active school shooter, has the policy of get in there and stop the threat at all costs. It's standard across the US once the Colorado police failed at Columbine high school. They also have the policy of being respectful 100% of the time to everyone. Was their conduct on that day respectful? They bragged on their own Facebook page's how they got the funding and bought newer safety equipment to handle the weaponry used that day. They bragged on Facebook about their so awesome well funded and trained SWAT team. They bragged on their public government run Facebook page on how just day's prior to the massacre they held Active school shooter drills at the local high school and were prepared for such an event. The DOJ came out with their own report way before this one talking about all their failures and broken policies and procedures. The Federal government knows better with way more highly qualified and educated people who's job it is to break all this down. But a retried cop says no issue's. Come on really? You're gonna buy that garbage?
A cowboy investigator claims it is a standard 'American' police department policy for several dozen of police in 1 active shooter scene to wait for more backup and re-enforcement arrival. That is new indeed!
So nobody did anything wrong couldn’t have watched the same videos I did but hey I’m from Texas and I know we got the numbers to outvote people like this but yall don’t so use this damn who president is but judges sheriff’s and local government is way more important
Cowards protecting cowards. You think he going to say anything bad about his fellow officers!?! Uvalde should know better to seek a paid police officer to investigate his fellow officers…that’s bull!! The next day, the governor was speaking at N.R.A conference while the parents of these deceased children in morning their little babies 😭😭😭I will never trust another police officer again!!
The investigator is not qualified to investigate this investigate this Active Shooter Incident. Am a retired police Captain with over forty years of service.
What is the officers name that let a male suspect that was just shooting at 2 Funeral Employees with an AR 15 go into the school! And the one brave officer that was there in three minutes but only had 3 cowards with him who all failed to do their job and ran away ! That MIGHT NO BE IN YOUR REPORT BUT THE Video is on RU-vid for all to see !
Where i live in so tx my daughter s school sended out a message that active shooter was at the school only having 5 cops 40 parents showed up at the school armed to protect there kids the cops couldn't stop the parents every body took control of the situation got the kids out nothing happened
So at the end he just gets up and leaves so nobody can ask him any questions I guess he doesn’t want to look any stupider than he is like I said parents sue that man for such a waste of money
Training? Maybe, but that’s not the root cause. Lacked equipment? Not the case. They had semi-automatic pistols, semi/automatic assault rifles w/optics, bullet proof vests, Kevlar helmets, and rifle rated ballistic shields. Even then, all of that was not needed to confront and stop the carnage. So what was actually lacking? Courage, a sense of duty, leadership and accountability. Training should be an ongoing practice in any profession. But no amount of training and “equipment” will fix cowardice, lack of moral compass and integrity. A mother with no training, bullet proof vest, or any tactical equipment fought her way into that school, “without permission,” to save her kids and others, even after the police pulled her back and harassed her. She had courage and risked her life without hesitation to save her kids. Those officers waited and waited and waited. Hoping that someone else would come in and do the job they signed up for. To hide behind outdated policies, lack of training and equipment is a weak argument and cop out. If training is the issue , perhaps she should train those officers. Not Adequately protected? This implies that effective actions were taken or existing measures were in place to protect innocent lives but could be improved upon. This was not the case. The facts on the outcome cannot be argued. This was a complete and utter failure. Mayor, have some respect for the families and victims and stop sugar coating and hiding behind politically correct language. Just say it like it is and do right by these families. Stop victim blaming and wasting $100,000 for an independent investigators report to prove innocence of the police department. Try this: “… the bottom line is that we failed you and your families as your elected officials. The Uvalde Police Department failed you and your families. We will all be held accountable for our actions and inactions including, criminal and civil. We are responsible. You deserve better and there is nothing that we can say or do to bring your loved ones back. We are truly sorry for failing you and your families.” Apologies, thoughts and prayers , resigning, re-assigning, transferring, and firing is not enough.
Imagine trying to defend their actions on the basis of poor communication, equipment, and lack of training after agents from the BORDER PATROL unit came in and eliminated the shooter. Pretty sure they have received a lot more training and resources for dealing with an active school shooter than border patrol!!
Give me a break. Independent investigator who was bought and paid for by them. Of course, the cops Are gonna look like there was no wrong doing. TEXT BOOK COVER UP
Seriously is it just me or am I blind. Like I haven’t seen this guy turn his head to the crowd once all he does is hide behind that hat hat I can hardly wait to see what the second half of this video has in store
I really think they put a speed this up if they had just asked a simple question did any of the officers make any mistakes and it would’ve been over because we’ve already heard what the answers are no with lame excuses for being a coward
Yall can tell their rigged up their noones going to fight for them babies if the community doesnt get together and sue their behind like 😢this is sad im so scared for my child to go to school i couldnt imagine going through this prayers to the families
Why did this arrogant person not take his dam hat off? He should of been told firmly to remove it….. 😡😡 where is the dam respect here, he was trying to hide his face….whilst insulting the families the those beautiful lost children 😇
