And america s children and american citizens need this report fast so american s police can make the changes today and not six months from now. so they should be putting this out a lightning report. i don t care if it is three to five pages, but the major findings that were the critical failures. no breaching tools, no tactical training for the commander or officers. 19 officers in a hallway with rifles but nobody goes around the back to the window or nobody ports through the door with their rifle in the hallway. this tactical mindset was a failure. we had many more rifles there than the gunman. but you got to put it out quick if you want to save lives, not six months. you can come back later with your big report, but you need to come out lightning fast now if you want to help america s kids and help america s police. don t fail like they failed in ....
You could have a shotgun and you could have a semiautomatic rifle in the car. all of this needs to be explored whether training was academic in the classroom or whether they practiced. we need to know where the master key was and why wasn t it in the hands of a sergeant or the chief of the school police? where were the shields? where were the breaching tools? where was the county s.w.a.t. team, the city s.w.a.t. team. why did border patrol have to take over? was the right guy in charge or was he not qualified? doj is going look at all of this. in the meantime i fear he may have lawyered up. i fear he faces, rightly, civil exposure, potential criminal exposure, by the way, and he may be backing off of cooperation. frank, julia, and quad, thanks to all of you very much. as the investigation continues in uvalde, lawmakers in washington are continuing to discuss the potential path forward to reduce gun violence. this afternoon, a bipartisan group of senators will meet again to see if t ....
Was no shooting inside, it s except for at the police at the door. that s the information we got. that s a critical point. because if that is true, he would ve had a few minutes to set up an emergency assault. maybe with a sniper an issue that fight through the window, and an assault going through with the keys right away. it beat the killers trigger finger. but if it s not true, if the killer was inside shooting, or children were. then, you don t have time for an emergency assault. so what you have to do, then use the tools you have. like frank said, they will have breaching tools. this is endemic in american law enforcement. but they should ve taken shots there. move that, lock take those hinges. do anything to get in no matter what. if shooting is going on. that s a critical question i have. was there shooting going on inside when that incident commander said no. i think he hasn t been trained in practical decision-making, or any experience with the ....
Barricade, or situation like this. you have to train your local sergeants and lieutenants to be able to do it. like frank said, you have to have ballistic shields breaching equipments on the cards. if they re killing, find a way to port the window and shoot him. this guy was hiding in the closet. if they poured it a window, or even in the hallway, they could ve been able to kill him when he came out of the closet. there s a lot of things that could ve been done, we need a few more facts. it s so tragic. my heart breaks, because i feel like we re gonna have another barricaded gunman. and i want american law enforcement to now get some breaching tools, now get fire departments, and other ladders there. now get there quicker, or are gonna lose a lot more people. and frank, we know that this same department, the same police force, had a training for exactly this kind of event just a few weeks before this event. what we also know, is that in a live fire situation in police work, it is a f ....
Which may apply depending on the facts with regard to this school chief of police and what he knew. the hope here and what this unit does for a living at doj is that they discern best practices and share them and make recommendations for training and even grant money. so, for example, if they were to find that nobody, none of the police on scene, which by the way they find hard to believe, none of the 19 officers in that hallway had proper breaching tools, they might make the recommendation for grant money to give communities around the country enough breaching tools to put in squad cars. if they find that radio communications were totally broken down, that that school chief of police was on a different frequency or turned his radio off, they ll make recommendations regarding cross frequency radio ban sharing. if they find out he thought this was a hostage negotiation but he didn t know how to negotiate because there was no trained negotiator present, well, they ll make recommendations ....
