The chief should not just be fired for extreme incompetence, he should be charged as accessory

“You can’t sit outside while kids are dying inside” and “you do what you can or die trying” are great points donut. And you’ve been a cop you’ve been in swat. That’s why I definitely respect your opinion more than glorified news readers

"You do what you can or you die trying." Fuckin right brother.

Perfect example of "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing"

The part that really haunted me outside of this summary is hearing how a bunch of parents actually did attempt to arm themselves and go in to deal with the active shooter themselves. Only for the officers on scene to disarm and then detain said parents. Like... the fuck is that noise?

The Director surgically eviscerated the Uvalde police chief's career, and indirectly threw shade on almost everyone else that showed up; most of the responding officers also put their careers before the lives of children

There was a cop in Canada that stopped a shooter that barricaded himself after shooting 2 people... The cop had a pistol and slid across and got the guy call of duty style.... Sometimes there's men with balls in control and then there are cowards in control... Unfortunately that day we had cowards in control and the kids paid a heavy price for it ..

On Monday, my school was taking exams and after the first exam was done we went into a lockdown and sat in a corner by the teacher’s desk. About 2-5 minutes in, more or less, the police arrived and started searching the entire school for weapons. Note: A man from Ohio (Only in Ohio.) called the police department saying there was a weapon on campus, police called the school and told them what happened, school goes into lockdown and police arrive. For what feels like an eternity the police get to our room and do a quick sweep, it occurs again about 10 minutes later, except they ask the teacher to open the door, teacher is skeptical, and the police come in and you would not believe the sound of everyone sighing. After about another 15 minutes we get the all clear. And we all go home. I am really glad the police responded really fast and made sure everything was clear. But boy, do I wish the Uvalde police were like these beautiful bastards.

"...just holding the hallway, while they're hearing shots being fired" That is fucking sickening.

So you're saying the Uvalde PD just held the hall while the shooter played duck duck murder? Everyone in that department should be replaced. The chief for being incompetent and the rest of the officers for failure to act.

“Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most. And that is the indifference of good men.” -The Boondock Saints

Everything about that Police Chief needs to be investigated. This is not incompetence this is complicit actions. He needs to be prosecuted.

Every police officer on site should feel like a POS. A mom hopped the fence, went into the school without body armor and unarmed, grabbed her kids and left. Too bad she wasn’t armed.

So much for "high capacity magazines" he could have used a 100 year old single shot rifle. He had all the time in the world.

My cousin was tasked with participating in an investigation of what happened in Uvalde. It seriously fucked with him mentally. He came back to San Antonio a much angrier man than he was before. He doesn’t talk about it at all, and whenever someone brings it up in conversation, he almost immediately finds an excuse to leave the room.

The Chief in this case needs to be put in prison. His failure absolutely caused fatalities here.

“What a fckin tard” Couldn’t have said it better myself, this whole case is rage inducing, the Chief really just allowed innocent kids to lose their lives because of his sheer incompetence. It’s disgusting beyond words.

14:01 a flawed plan executed violently immediately against an active shooter beats a perfect plan executed 10 minutes later every time

This shooting hits way to close to home for me One of my nieces use to go there my sis got here out an hour before it all happened. Kids were allowed to go home early that day after giving out certificates. It's sad and upsetting. My heart is with those families and the community.

My kids would call me way before they would call 911. And let me tell you, I never want to go through that ever, the scariest part about being a parent is worrying about your kids and their safety. If I saw cops just sitting around, I have my own personal tac kit in my car and I’m going in. Period. I know my kids though they would definitely be calling dad, dad always shows up to save the day, not matter what the situation is. And if saving lives mean I may have to do a little time then so be it, I’ll have a clear conscience knowing as father that I did everything I could possibly do. The greatest reward is knowing my kids are alive and safe. Nothing else matters. This response to a Active shooter was a total failure and those cops should have to the chief to fuck himself and just go in anyway.

Chief: "Hold back. Wait for SWAT" Any good boy: "Then I quit and I'll see you in hell!" While running towards the sounds of danger.

It's amazing how Uvalde basically proved the GTA San Andreas Ammunation commercial prophetic. Like "Yeah you could call the police if a criminal starts threatening you, but it takes so long for them to respond to a 911 call that said criminal can just do as they please before they ever show up."

You know if the short version is 25 minutes, you know it's a rabbit hole

“A flawed plan executed violently against an active shooter immediately beats a perfect plan executed 10 minutes later every time” ABSOLUTELY 100% agree

“It’s easier to bury 25 cops than it is to bury 1 child” - Tim Kennedy

After listening to this breakdown, the only word that comes to mind is: Cowardice.

So, half a year has passed by. I know the officer in charge quit his job and went in to hiding, but are there any charges filed?

This reminds me of the Sewol Ferry incident. Hundreds of people stuck on a ship (that had NO business being out on the water - would overload their cargo, not have anything strapped down, drained of most of the ballast water, added extra floor at top of ship to accommodate an art exhibit with marble walls) as it sunk. PS, the canal they sunk in was known for its dangerous conditions and they chose it to shave 7ish minutes from their arrival time. The nightshift guy in charge of steering turned the wheel 15 degrees (this specific boat knew they were only allowed to turn up to 5 degrees) and the ship almost immediately began to list 45 degrees. Authorities are called, teams are sent…but, somehow, “rescue” doesn’t know there are hundreds of people on board. Essentially only 172 out of 476 people survived that day. But it wasn’t thanks to the officials sent to help. The Coast Guard at the time (they were disbanded due to the incident and reformed later) were mostly there to keep civilians from entering the water and (this part is infuriating) enjoyed ramen together before with their superiors before said superiors went for interviews with the press to say most of the people on the ship were saved - the number of rescues varied as time went on. Meanwhile, parents of a group of high school children were watching the ship sink before their eyes, as the couple of Coast Guard rescue boats circled it. No one was being saved. The first group rescued included the ship’s Captain - I’d like to say he didn’t get the memo that he’s supposed to stay and supervise, but he made sure to change into some regular clothes, neglecting to tell the rescue team that there’s anyone else on board. He’s known as piece of scum #1 in my book. However, despite that, literally all of South Korea knew this was one of the typical vessels that takes customers from Seoul (specifically Incheon) to Jeju Island…plus the phone calls to 119 (their 911) were actively being told that there were hundreds of passengers. The Coast Guard said they weren’t aware of passengers beyond the few they saved. Beyond that, the US reached out to the President to offer aid but was refused because they said they got this. Yeah, you read it right, they turned down an assist from a ship that had over 4000 people trained in rescuing under circumstances as tragic as this - all over pride. From there Coast Guard officers simply sat around waiting for orders - essentially saying, we’ll do something when so-and-so does. Rescues and recoveries were eventually done by regular citizens. Only 3 members of the ship’s crew stayed behind to save passengers. But that’s not the worst of it. The whole time the “rescue” efforts went on, the passengers are listening to a PA system telling everything’s fine, to “stay in their rooms”…and they listen. The life jackets on board were YEARS past inspection - a recording recovered later had a student pointing out the year and commenting on how they looked. Many recovered recordings are heart-wrenching as the students go from mild concern, to joking about death (essentially acting out how they’re in the Titanic), to panic, to acceptance. Many called or messaged their families to apologize for their sins, one said “don’t let my sibling go on a trip and end up like me” - paraphrased due to it originally being said in Korean. Out of 250 students, on what was an annual trip every class was excited for, 72 returned. Many would later tell others that their greatest sin was coming out alive. The teacher who’d organized the event, but wasn’t able to go with them, later took his own life from the guilt of not protecting the children. The chaperones who went also had tragic stories. The three crew that stayed. One, a young woman that refused to leave with the rest and was last seen by a student she’d rescued to go find more survivors was later found by divers. The other two, a couple that were excited planning a wedding. None of them survived. Even the citizen divers faced life-long injuries and some lost their lives to the dangerous conditions within the ship. And all of this over people, who should have protected these passengers, but chose their own pride. No one wanted the backlash that might come out of it if they tried and failed…so they let others make the choice for them. They later started a blame-game as everyone was like “I may not have done what you say, but such-and-such didn’t do ____”. It was, honestly, the most ridiculous and childish thing I’ve seen a group of adults do. No one wanted accountability for their actions - meanwhile the victims’ families and friends were suffering, blaming themselves for what their loved ones went through. Many ended their own lives due to their own guilt or from the pressures the public - for instance, the teacher that organized the trip had been harassed by the press and people, leading to his mentioned exit. In my opinion, he deserved better. You can get better details from Rotten Mango on RU-vid (they have a podcast too). The main point is, much like was happened to the people on the Sewol ferry that terrible day, things could have gone much differently if the Chief had just neutralized the threat. If those who were in charge during this shooting actually stepped up (whether to their superior doing nothing or to the challenger hand) and took care of things ASAP. They even refused aid from those more qualified! Needless to say, those kids could’ve been saved - in BOTH situations.

Jesus, this makes me furious to listen to. Back around 2000, I was part of a Canadian federal police unit, that did response to an international airport for alien smuggling and illegal migrants. We were not the police force of jurisdiction in the area of our office. The US Border Patrol called us to say that a violent ex-husband had burned down his ex’s mother’s place and almost killed the mom to find out where his ex was. They were fairly sure he had crossed the border and was heading for us. The ex-wife had been moved to the Canadian headquarters just up the street from our office to get her away from her violent ex. They believed that he had passed through the border about 60 minutes earlier and could be at her office very shortly. I passed the information to the local PD, who said that they’d be there in about 30 minutes. I told my the unit commander, a sergeant, that I was going directly to her office to prevent him entering, until the locals got there. He pointed out that we were not the uniform police of jurisdiction, and that it had nothing to do with us. He was right. He was also wrong. I told him that if she was getting murdered while I sat on my ass, I couldn’t live with it. I was going. He said ‘No.” I looked him in the eye, said “You know I respect you, but fuck you, I’m going.” I ran to a cruiser, set up by the front door with my sidearm (no, I didn’t have a carbine either) and waited for the local PD to arrive. They got there and tagged me off, and it turned out the crazy ex-husband had been stopped by the local PD elsewhere. Things were a little stiff when I got back to the office, but my boss said he understood what I’d done and it was forgotten. The job of police officers is to put themselves between the bad guys and innocent people who can’t defend themselves. I’ve had active shooter training, the same as pretty much every cop in North America. I don’t care what the incompetent chief tells you to do - YOU GO IN! And with a roomful of screaming little kids at the mercy of a madman… how can these guys sleep at night?

They let those children down man. They don’t deserve that badge anymore.

The families of the victims should sue the police department for the wrongful death of their loved ones. What a horrible tragedy. How the Chief and police officers could stand in the hallway and let the shooter kill children is beyond my comprehension. What incompetence and cowardice. Truly disgusting.

SHORT VERSION 😭 It suck’s that you can say that as a Texan we ALL are ashamed of Uvaldes response time

I'm not saying I could face down a school shooter without pissing my pants, but c'mon, what are these guys trained for?

I was actually hoping you'd do this because I didn't think I could watch all of that stream. Thank you so much Donut.

Rest easy to all those little souls 🙏❤️

So nice of the DOD to give donut access to MS paint, god bless

The fact that Donut made a short version of the breakdown as well is incredible. Thanks for your service.

I'm a retired high risk entry team commander. I've been sick ever since this happened. Allowing children to die is unspeakable. Dammit.

Hey Donut, would be very interested to see your breakdown on the security footage (without the audio) that has been released. It's incredibly eye-opening and as a civilian who's watched it, it's absolutely appalling and disgusting to watch how cowardly many of the Uvalde officers acted within those halls and how there was only one who was truly attempting to push and attempt to stop this son of a bitch (it was an older officer armed with only a pistol who actually took fire and was hit.)

that chief should be charged with assisted murder for allowing the shooter to kill so many more victims than what would have been if the chief had just rushed in himself, that coward.

"Pistols should have been enough. The 9 will blow your lungs out right?" Oh damn, ice cold dude.

I just honestly can’t believe how incompetent the scene commander was.

I was a manger at Walmart, I always had my radio because it’s part of the job, and mine wasn’t life or death, that was such a bad situation due to a chief being an idiot, you always protect the kids, keeping the cops from doing what they are trained for is stupid, just recently found doughnut, you are a real G, I’m loving the rabbit hole journey so far

I like the intro ad and chill music you put, really shows you care

Donut, the chief actully said that he felt that radios carried on the persons of officers would be a hindered and he did not carry a radio nor did he want his officers to carry one on the duty belts. I am a ex police officer from a small town in Texas and I carried a radio on my duty belt and this was back in the early 1990's. The chief in my view totally fucked everything up and cost the lives of ALL the kids and the teachers. He should be held accountable and placed of trail for murder.

The commanding officer should be up on charges of negligence at a minimum. I hope the parents sue. Many of the murders could have been prevented. There is ZERO excuse for this level of incompetence.

Healing experience watching this with you. I screamed, I cried, and got back to work. Don't entertain the anger, vent it.

I do appreciate short versions ty

Im actually disgusted by them calling themselves police officers. When we all take this job and take that oath your signing up to put your life on the line. 4 officers shield, rifle, shotgun and just sit for 50 mins. Should of been stack, push and clear as quick as possible. Hell no shield no long guns should of still been search and destroy. Ive did both for 20 years fire and law enforcement risk alot to save alot!!!!! They dont make men like they used too going to be a scary future.

The most shocking thing to me is the fact the school classroom doors are unable to be locked from the inside. That seems like a massive oversight in school security.

The chief let those kids basically be butchered. Imagine being one of their parents hearing about this.

I use to work security for BISD in Watauga Tx for the middle school there and all i did mainly was walk around and make sure all exterier and interior doors were locked. I did my job so well even teachers would complain about me because once every period I would check to make sure there door was locked. Others teachers told me that before me the other security guards would just sit around and watch netflix. They only paid 11.50 an hour so I ended up having to leave because I didnt wanna work 7 days a week since I had to work weekends to to make ends meet since 11.50 wasnt paying my bills. The administration of BISD told me I would get a raise since I kept acing security inspections and i got a raise to 12.00 LOL so after that school year ended I left. amazon pays me 16.40 an hour and also paid for my CDL training. Teachers dont think about the threats, they leave their door open all the time thinking its cool its for the kids. I had to shut down a teacher from opening a side exterior door in the morning since it was another entrance for a threat, both me and SRO would usually stand at the front entrance in the morning since he had to search certain people. Get better trained security, pay them better, im not saying 20 an hour maybe 15 an hour. it needs to be better with school security. Hell honestly there needs to be a certain security license FOR SCHOOLS.

Thanks Donut! Waiting for more facts to come out before covering this one was a good call! Insane poorly handled by LE on scene. Blows my mind imagining them just hanging out in those halls for that long....

Okay, if I’m honest I blame all of this on the Chief, but also like you said donut, they should have just didn’t listen and ran in and decimated the guy.

The level of incompetence by the commander should be treated as a criminal act. He allowed people to die.

This is upsetting as a parent I’m heartbroken for the families of these children who lost their lives . All I have to say is I hope that the cowardice exhibited in this ordeal is something they can live with

"RU-vid isn't really liking my videos lately." Well then it sucks to be RU-vid because your vids are dope 👌 love em

Heres a salute to either you or whoever edited this. Taking out that guys weird ass lip smacks was an act of heroism.

Reminds me of a fire we had in the London underground... the police refused to let the fire brigade into the scene and thus doomed everyone there..

This was more informative than ANY news source I've come across.

When seconds count, the police are only minu… hours away. Making LE’s look terrible.

7 vs. 1 with ballistic shields was more than favorable odds. I think this chief should be investigated to see if he had any connections with the shooter or groups that could've supported the shooter. There's no way this is sheer incompetence

From everything I'm hearing, I don't think it would be at all unreasonable to actually charge the Chief as an accomplice and sentence him as such.

Thanks for keeping it real Donut.

So heartbreaking. So glad to see you aren't just giving the PD a pass on this one. Those children waited for the "superheroes" (cops) to come and save them, and the "heroes" were too busy being scared in the hallway while their innocent lives were snuffed out one after another. In an event where seconds matter, these idiots waited over an hour. What's even more sickening is they prevented people from going in to help and even arrested them. I'm not a police officer, nor am I paid to put my life on the line, but I would have been rushing in there without a second thought if I was nearby. How could these officers just stand by and let innocent kids get executed because the Chief won't give them the go ahead. One child's life is more important than you getting reprimanded or fired for going against his obviously moronic instruction. These cops HAD to have known it was stupidity to wait.

“We have pistols he has an ar-15” Shit didn’t know you were playing cod

Great summary

You're A Legend! This One's Sad

I just wanna say mad respect to the school resource officer. Even though he got the wrong guy, this dude saw what he thought was the shooter, and with no hesitation drove across the field at 50 MPH to help save these kids. I only wish he got the right guy.

Thanks for making short vers. I know it wont have the most in depth breakdown but I cant dedicate an hour. Much appreciated!

This was a mess none of them cops were ready for something like this rest in peace to everybody who passed

My school said they were taking measures because Uvalde was recent, but they enforce zero of their own precautions. I haven't worn my own entry badge in months, and still manage to get into the building

Breakdown: law Enforcement failed, schools failed, and bureacracyhas failed to allow the truth to prevail. In short, all the government has made everything worse, harder, and more expensive

5:09 Donut, that was my understanding. That regardless of backup, law enforcement immediately goes in and neutralizes the threat. Officers or a officer should have given the chief the middle finger and entered the school to engage the shooter. I don’t make it a habit talking about my past to anyone and especially on a social media platform but this incident has really pissed me off. Being a Marine combat vet, I know there are such things as unlawful orders and I’m not equating the UCMJ to law enforcement agencies but that moral standard remains true. There is no doubt in my mind that I would have entered the school and engaged the shooter, with or without backup. Semper Fi

I am a teacher at an elementary school here in Texas. My heart was broken and we had two week left after this happened. The state has taken over school security and safety. They are spending big money on school safety, and I am glad!

Thanks donut

Glad to see you covering this now more informed. A true role model for all types of media.

The bravest person in this scenario was the mother who busted through a window and got her two kids! The rest are suspect at best.

It infuriates me that the chief was not charged with anything, he and the shooter are solely responsible for all those children’s death as far as I’m concerned

Ur so lucky that you get to do vacations just off this youtube channel. Its amazing. I truly look up to you. Your making so much fucking money

Hey man thanks for the condensed version. I appreciate it. Enjoy the vacation - this must have been tough to break down.

I can't imagine the fear those precious babies felt. My heart aches for all the families!

Right after he crashes his car it looked like two officers approached the wreck, then ran away across the parking lot leaving the shooter to casually stroll about 500 yards towards the school. Unforgivable.

thank you for the cannadip discount code! hoping it also helps me quite!

Prior Air Force Security Forces here. In active assailant training (RU-vid friendly) we were taught to go in. Don't wait for swat. Don't wait for authorization. Go in. If you didn't immediately hear gunfire you cleared rooms. If you heard gunfire you went straight to it. At least that's what we were taught. I wasn't in uvalde and I thankfully never had to respond to an active assailant. Personally I can't Monday morning quarterback but what happened there was shameful. Edit 2024: thanks for the likes. I was not expecting this.

Iv just one thing to say... If that chief had a kid in that school... especially that class room....we would not be having this discussion......those cops would have been in immediately.

That chief should be held on charges cause that’s bullshit seriously.

I work in a school, and I can tell you, that those doors don’t always lock onto the latch. That’s why custodians are required every night to check every single door to make sure it properly latched. They will look close and even be closed sometimes, just the latch never fully locked. Especially in old buildings, which are a lot of elementary schools due to lack of funding.

This video is 25:44 long, which is almost 50 minutes less than it took the police to open that door and end the threat

If I was a Uvalde cop, and I stood there for 45 min while kids were murdered. I’d absolutely Cornell myself.

Dude you looked like if a trailer park became a person in the beginning of the video 😂😂 love ya man you make great content keep it up 👍👍

It gets even worse, after the chief was fired his lawyer issued a statement that "Chief Arredondo will not participate in his own illegal and unconstitutional public lynching and respectfully requests the Board immediately reinstate him, with all backpay and benefits and close the complaint as unfounded"(Pete Arredondo Press Release 08-24-2022, page 17). He failed to perform his duties and then doubled down insisting he did nothing wrong.

I can break it down in 3 seconds: They dun effed up

I was a Reserve Deputy for thirty years including the Columbine shooting. I marveled at what a cluster fuck it was, and wht the Officers waited so long to make entry. I made the personal decision that if I was ever faced with such a situation, I would make entry and try to stop the killing, REGARDLESS OF ANY ORDERS TO THE CONTRARY. My moral code would not permit me to do otherwise. As as officer, I was sworn to protect innocent citizens, and I fully intended to do that, even if it meant risking my life. Thank you for outlining what happened. Guess it really is true about people rising until they meet and surpass their own level of incompetence. Question, how this this chief manage to get promoted to his position when so incompetent?

Apparently one early officer was the husband of a teacher who died, even he didn't go in to save his wife. One report is he was eventually disarmed to prevent him going in alone but that was after he was in the hall trying to reach her with phone in one hand and gun in other. You would think he would go straight to the threat and risk his life for his wife. She may well have lived with more prompt medical care.

Good job

Never thought I’d see the day where unarmed teachers were BRAVER than armed police

13:04 idk what the cop is thinking. Yes the rounds are different size, and the AR are more deadlier. But a gun is still a gun that could still eliminate a target.

This whole situation is still so messed up a year later
