Coward Uvalde Cops Reveal Why They Didn’t Save School Children’s Lives

An official from the Texas Department of Public Safety publicly stated that police officers were hesitant to storm the school building and save the children from the shooter because they were afraid of getting shot. Uvalde police waited for around an hour outside of the school, preventing parents from rushing the building and waiting for back-up instead of doing the job they signed up for, which was saving lives during these situations. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"A Texas Department of Public Safety official said responding officers were cautious as they entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas because “they could’ve been shot.”

Nineteen children and two teachers were murdered after authorities say an 18-year-old male entered with a rifle 12 minutes after he crashed a car near campus.

The New York Times reported the shooter was inside the school for about an hour before officers finally breached the classroom he was in and shot and killed him.

Reporters demanded answers during a contentious press conference Thursday afternoon. State law enforcement officials addressed the public a day after some parents with children in the school said they were prevented from going in by officers.

One girl inside the room reportedly bled for an hour after she was shot. She died at a hospital. It is unknown if that hour might have saved her life.

On Thursday’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, the host discussed the Tuesday’s horrifying events with DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez."
