theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/24/uvalde-shooting-police-chief-pete-arredondo-fired >The Uvalde school district fired police chief Pete Arrendondo on Wednesday, making him the first officer to lose his job over the hesitant and fumbled response by law enforcement at a Texas elementary school as a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers in a fourth-grade classroom. In a unanimous vote held after months of angry calls for his ouster, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District’s board of trustees fired Arredondo in an auditorium of parents and survivors of the 24 May massacre. His firing came three months to the day after one of the deadliest classroom shootings in US history.
>Arredondo, who has been on leave from the district since 22 June, has come under the most intense scrutiny of the nearly 400 officers who rushed to the school but waited more than an hour to confront the 18-year-old gunman in a fourth-grade classroom, even as parents outside reportedly begged them to take action.
State police and a damning investigative report in July criticized the police chief of the roughly 4,000-student school district for failing to take charge of the scene, not breaching the classroom sooner and wasting time by looking for a key to a likely unlocked door.
>Arredondo was not in attendance at the school board meeting but through his attorney released a blistering and defiant 17-page letter that lashed out at state officials, defended the police response to the 24 May massacre and accused the school board of putting his safety at risk by not allowing him to carry a weapon to the meeting, noting that he has received death threats. “Chief Arredondo will not participate in his own illegal and unconstitutional public lynching,” his attorney, George Hyde, wrote in the statement.
>When news broke that Arredondo would not be attending the meeting, some in the auditorium, including parents of victims, screamed, “Coward!” and “What about our children?”
ACAB. They are either lazy cowards under no legal obligation to protect and serve or corrupt powetripping thugs that plant evidence, lie at trials/on warrants to cover unlawful searches and arrests, and beat/rape/rob/kill innocent people with legal and civil impunity.

Sounds good to me. Everyone here Carrie’s a gun with them at all times, right?

The Freemason Darwin award in the process. He thought if he went with this false flag psyops he would get a cushy job in politics with Dominion rigging in his favor. Ha!
>the school board of putting his safety at risk by not allowing him to carry a weapon to the meeting
Sure sign he's a piece of shit if he feels he NEEDS to be armed while people hold him accountable. Really tells you about his state of mind.

In real life that’s exactly what always happens.

Will this guy be under any sort of protection now that he's been fired? He didn't show up to the meeting because he didn't feel like it would be safe. Imagine how many folks are waiting to run into him in a dark alley.

If the Uvalde police have anything similar to a military disability program, then this tactishart already claimed PTSD and will get $100,000/yr in workman's comp the rest of his life over "pain, grief, and suffering" over the incident. And it cannot be taken away nor even questioned due to health privacy laws.

You only get that if you yourself shot someone or you personally witnessed someone get shot. You'd have a hard time articulating how you not even being there, or you being outside when it happened, caused you so much grief. He's just getting public outcry, that doesn't count as PTSD inducing or else Chauvin would be getting bennies while in prison.
The two guys that got there first should've went in, that was the only time there were shots going off when police were present is when there were only two guys and they were afraid to go in by themselves. Those are the cowards. Proper protocol for a barricade is indeed to attempt negotiations. The public gets mad when you just run in and shoot people when there's no immediate threat. The chief's boggling of the situation only lied in the fact that there were 911 calls stating there were injured teachers and students bleeding out. At that point you break the barricade and handle the gunman immediately, as his remained presence as a threat is causing the loss of life. At that point you can immediately end the threat, and he still waited like a dumb incompetent spic.

Why would so many officers kill themselves? I can understand one doing it because of PTSD, but dozens of them committing suicide with 2 gunshots to the head? :/

They were attacked by the people they thought they were fighting to protect, and were ridiculed for years after it. A lot of cops also think there's no other jobs for them if they were to quit which is BS. There's like 6 good high paying fields where ex-officers excel.

Remember how none of this happened over sandy hook? Remember how all the focus was on the families of the kids? Where are these families? Why are we talking about the police?

It is more like Russian roulette of going along with Masonic corruption depending on where the wind blows, and if things go unhitched. That is assuming of course they didn't intend to use you as a patsy from the start. The warden of the prison Jeffry Epstein was murdered in "won" a small jackpot in the lottery and used it to buy a new car she bragged about a year later on facebook with the triangle hand pose.

>ACAB >all cops are beaners Yeah beaners are pretty shitty at everything.
Read between the line, burgers. The cops are cowards and the only thing they are loyal to is their paycheck. Your government fully expects you to flip out soon and can't have thousands of personnel sitting back with their thumbs up their asses while you wreak havoc nation wide. This is setting a precedent.

Kids died, and the guy just gets fired? Thats it? Gets a nice compensation and finds another job to do evil instantly? Fuck this, he must hang
