If they live in Mexico ? No they don't, but it's not because they're Mexicans in Mexico, moreso that they aren't and shouldn't be America's problem, just like Ukrainians in Ukraine shouldn't be America's problem.
None that I have seen. Frankly, that doesn't pass a smell test.
Room entries are violent and aggressive. You don't quietly walk in and ask people to do anything. You storm the room and scream at everyone to shut the fuck up and don't move or you'll kill them.
The police's competence here is in question, but I doubt they'd fly in the face of procedures that are specifically designed to keep them alive in the most dangerous action you can possibly due as an officer: walk through a door with a gunman on the opposite side.
Yeah the more actual details come out the more egregious this becomes because of the initial bullshitting. Apparently virtually everything reported at first was bullshit
Reality seems to be : Uvalde police cowered outside and pepper sprayed concerned parents while listening to shooting.
That's not true either.
Frankly, this is playing out fairly close to what i initially anticipated:
Police respond to active shooting within expected 3-10 minute window
Police receive fire from gunman
Police evacuate fleeing civilians
Police enter school
Gunman seems to barricade himself in a specific room
Police for some reason treat situation as barricade hostage situation
Police evacuate other parts of the school
Police use force to maintain perimeter
Police make entry into room once tactical team arrives.
Now, the police conduct here isn't good. It's bad. The police have spread false information. The police decision to avoid making entry is clearly bizzare and inappropriate. The police did apparently here gunshots from the room once while they were outside of it, and did not make entry at that time, and instead waited for the tactical team.
What did NOT happen was that the cops didn't stand outside the school for 90 minutes hiding behind police cruisers while the gunman went room to room shooting kids because they were too afraid to engage the suspect.
For the most part, this appears to be procedural errors and confusion on who's responsibility is supposed to be what.
I'm actually surprised the Washington Post allowed this article to be disseminated.
Check the comments. This incident is being played as both "cops bad" and "the right doesn't care about Mexicans".
You will never find a speck of rationality in the WaPo comments even if Biden started a nuclear war

They're pivoting to the narrative that AR15s are so dangerous the cops can't even engage with a shooter armed with one, so they have to be banned.
The cops sitting outside for an hour, armed with ARs and wearing the best armor humanity has ever made just works for that narrative.
They got the Dragon Skin?
Why
Any confirmation that a cop told the kids to yell for help if they needed it, which directly cause the death of at least one kid?
