Termination hearing for Uvalde school police chief Pete Arredondo is delayed again
I just don't understand.
ONCE AGAIN the elected officials are deflecting and obfuscating not only...

But they are closing that location (school) and redistributing the children throughout the other campuses - so why would they need a principal for Robb anyway?
JMHO
I didn't take it that way. He knows he is in a position that "can't be retaliated against" because he has tenure at the college. He could possibly take some heat though. He's been there long enough to see some things first hand. What I took from it was that the majority of working class...

This just reinforces what I've been saying. These people are angry and rightfully so!

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> ... this happened in a small town. One that reported zero murders in 2021 - which tells you that LE in that town are not used to confronting violent felons.
Response time is critical in any emergency situation - every second counts. The majority of these...
No, its not "burnout".
And this is JMHO
I believe he shimmied his way up the ladder in his "career". They say "its not what you know but who you know (I use a different word but can't say it on here ;) ). He kept his head down, did what he needed to do to get by, and "buddied" his way...

Ok next section - Robb Elementary Facilities & Management & Policies for Locking Doors & Maintenance of Doors & Keys
Robb Elementary had a new principal beginning with the 2021–22 school year. (So it was her first year as a principal. She had been an asst principal for 3 yrs previous.)

OMG
The press conference as a whole was just "eeehh". I do realize that they were only tasked with putting out the verifiable facts.
There were a couple of questions about PA but those last 2 minutes. That woman was hot and the room seemed to agree with her. They want PA's head on a stick...
I'm going to pull things from the report that are new to me (us) - that I haven't seen before. I'll do it in sections - according to the report section.
First- the background of the shooter.

The FBI interviewed a former girlfriend of the attacker who believed one of A.R.’s...
Here's one:
"SIR! Mr. PA if you can hear me - please turn yourself in to the nearest police station for insubordination, gross negligence, dereliction of duty, and willful breech of policy (that you wrote!)"
I still can't get over this fact - that he called this guy on the phone. That is...

I have only read through half the report so far.
What is blatantly obvious and totally infuriating so far is this:

I go back to the "good ole days" when we were told to keep a can of wasp spray in our desks. That stuff can shoot (pretty accurately) a good 10-15 feet. And you can hit an intruder in the eyes from a distance. But, on the flip side - you hit an intruder with an AR in the eyes - he's just...
Yep! A lot of revisions came from the Parkland shooting. The arming of teachers, and even the guardian law "Aron Feis" was enacted in Florida because of Parkland.
I saw something very interesting the other day on SM. A young, newly graduated teacher had been talking with her parents and...
After everyone had run the obstacles - we collected as a group. The guys started talking about how we all reacted and we were just trying to "save ourselves" and what would you do if you have 15-20 little kids that you have to save as well? By then, most of the teachers were in a state of...
Ok - but this is gonna be long.
Yes, there is one particular training that really "stuck" with me. It was in either 2014 or 2015. It was held on a teacher planning day - so no students in the school.
The school had hired a private consulting firm to conduct it. It was 3 or 4 (I think there...
And that is the problem. These shootings have gone on long enough (and the shooters are always between 17-18 & 21-22) so they have been "students" at one time or another and participated in the drills - so they know what the school is going to do. I keep saying this - THEY ARE LEARNING...
No - there is no hiding under desks.
Active shooter drills have evolved over the years. It usually depends on the district - with smaller rural districts not really doing them at all. At first - we were instructed to get kids into storage closets (if your room had one) - but that went out the...
