A police chief accused of botching the response to the fatal shooting of 19 school children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, has been put on leave.
Pedro “Pete” Arredondo, head of the school district police force, has been blamed for law enforcement delays in confronting the gunman.
Defending his actions, the 50-year-old has said he did not think he was the official in charge at the time.

Had no radio. Did not know he has uni with rifles and a shield ready to go. Did not know kids and teachers calling in 911 for help. Didnt check the door and wilted under pressure killing victims. He was taught 2 weeks ago that active shooter must be stopped/ highest priority…..not waiting. Needs to resign immediately
Thise event will be forgotten soon… till next occurance…
There is no democracy in USA… democracy is dead waiting to be burried
On the one hand, police are often feckless and terrible at their jobs, and that's when they're not the ones shooting people. On the other hand, gun-loving righties are going to focus the blame on the cops' insufficient training and response to deflect it away from the actual problem. 🙄 Remember old utopian sci-fi movies where there are no weapons and cops spend most of their time getting kittens out of trees like firemen? Gun-nuts don't want that, they'd rather cops have to deal with armed people.
USA is a agressor and international terrorist…it kills people everywhere… Afghanistan Libia Iraq…and USA itself
Amazing how many people here are active shooter scene experts.
the police in Uvalde are all big fat Mexicans who sleep 20 hours a day
Paid leave? So paid vacation? Why hasn't he been fired? Others need to be fired too. COWARDS!!
This is typical of the people in positions of authority that are incompetent. We have this in the military, CIA, Presidents and prime ministers, defense department officials ect..Is there any real wonder why people have an absolute disgust with authoritarian figures. Who on one hand propose their brilliance only to lie to everyone hoping nobody will figure out their stupidity and exorbitant salaries. Look at the US government officials
this is Rome not some fool we do not have a sewing circle in our senate we are men not on a loom we are running a nation
that chief was like " I got to get out of this chicken sh*t outfit!!" lol
in Rome we do not allow the senate to be corrupted by some group of women that with their sewing circle its not good policy they have their area and its just something we have to understand
One hopes the process that led to this Chief being hired comes under scrutiny as well.
America the safest abd best country in the world
we have moral responsibility in Rome our doings are in accordance to the will of GOD and we cannot allow some revolution of women to prevent Rome from necessity they must be fair and consider their mother we know what must be done
The most sickening act of currish cowardice I have ever seen, I suppose arredondo being a staunch biden supporter says it all
its not proper ethics allowing some feminine presence to ruin the senate of Rome its not how things work we have our rights women have their area but we have priorities we do not run our country on a loom were not senators making clothes we conduct the matter of war and the subsequent peace
is trinity reading from a teleprompter?
