Hey John, in case you did not hear, the Texas Department of Public Safety admitted that the doors to the classroom in Uvalde where kids and teachers were being slaughtered…
…were NOT LOCKED. Yes you heard that right.
For weeks, the police claimed to need keys and battering rams to get into the classroom.
The cops never even turned the damn door knobs.
And they knew exactly what they did. Uvalde Police and the city hired a private law firm to stop the body camera footage and other records from ever being public.
Uvalde County District Attorney, Christina Mitchell Busbee, has been working hard to make sure that the Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety and the city not release any records related to the police response.
My blood is boiling. I don’t even know what to say.
Not only did the police completely fail to protect anyone, they tried to cover it up and make false excuses.
A Texas police commander said that officers could have stopped the gunman within 3 minutes. They took 2 HOURS. Because they were only protecting themselves and refused to perform any basic duties.
Now that we know that they lied for WEEKS, we can’t allow them to continue preventing transparency and avoiding accountability.
Now, what I’m about to say won’t bring back the lives of the 19 children and 2 teachers these police let get slaughtered, but I want to take a moment to thank Steve McGraw, a lifelong cop, and the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, for telling the truth in the hearing for Uvalde, calling what these police did “an abject failure.”
Police normally do not do this. Trust me, we’ve needed cops to say hard shit for the past decade and they rarely do.
But now, with his new information we can’t sit and wait for justice.
The first step is releasing all footage and records so we can hold these cops fully responsible for what they did with cold, hard proof.
Love and appreciate you,
Shaun
