In the 77 minutes that a Texas gunman was alone in two connected classrooms with Robb Elementary students and teachers, police didn’t try to open the door, a law enforcement source said. Police later claimed they couldn’t get into the rooms and were hunting for a key or a tool that would open the door. But surveillance video shows officers didn’t try the door, the San Antonio Express-News reports. During that time, the gunman shot to death 19 children and two teachers. Investigators reportedly don’t think the killer could have locked the door from the inside.
Classroom doors at the Uvalde school are supposed to lock automatically when they close, the source said, so that a key is needed to enter the room. It’s possible officers didn’t check the door because they assumed it was locked. A malfunction could have caused the door to be unlocked. Investigators have not concluded it was already open, but that’s what the evidence suggests, the source said; video shows the gunman opening the door when he arrived. He entered the building through a door that state police originally said had been propped open by a teacher. Video showed that the teacher did close the door.
They didn’t try to open the door because they were instructed not to.
That’s my belief and I’m sticking with it.
Part of their so called training was, “Stop the killing – solo response to active shooter events” .
There are pictures, one with 12 officers and another with 16 officers, standing around with their hands in the pocket, holding a bottle of water.
So, I would guess they all failed the course????
“Regardless, officers had access to, but didn’t use, a crowbar-like tool called a halligan…”

This is a Halligan tool, sometimes called a “Hooligan” tool. It comes in many sizes and lengths. Pretty standard even 30 years ago both on rescue vehicles and in police car trunks.

This, especially when combined with an axe or maul, can breach just about any door or window in seconds. And if you do it right, whatever is inside the door is at the wrong angle to come at you when it opens.
This is a battering ram. This is more a LEO piece althoght can be used by both (ours had a piercing nozzle too), but the same thing applies. The door opens faster than the person inside can react, and you’re in their face right behind it. Also a police staple for decades.

And if the place had a Maglock, you simply cut the power.
Keys are only important if you want to minimize property damage. No cop I ever knew would have needed or worried about keys when there’s an obvious life hazard at stake.
Whatever their reluctance was, it had nothing to do with
Keys.

I think you are right on target. It’s beyond disgusting when the government engineers that sort of incident and gets all the idiots to blame peaceful gun owners.
This is evil. Pure evil. Those in charge wanted dead children to advance the goal of eliminating the 2nd amendment. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you must.
Nothing about the way the Uvalde incident was handled makes sense. You can damn sure bet if the freaking government wanted through your front door, it would only take them seconds. Our lying government sucks cock!
Things that protect you better than the Uvalde PD:
1. Wet tissue paper
2. A sick, starving kitten
3. A quadriplegic pacifist
4. A used Chinese made condom
5. A military comprised of faggots and trannies.
Uvalde cops.
Useless as tits on a boar hog.
This is what you get when you not only emasculate and feminize the police, but the entire society as well.
There were governmental actions and nefarious designs behind the “facts” and those actions and designs will not be released.
AND, fortunately, the MSM will insure such info will remain unknown to the masses.
^^^^^ All true. However if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a false flag.
How did that mom get in then?
The entire sorrowful and tragic event was engineered by members of the democrat party which led to the obviously schemed-in-advance excuse they offered about bogus “keys”. Since this was a hostage-killing matter why didn’t police call in their emergency SWAT unit, or whatever special forces they have there to blast down doors? Add the fact police handcuffed a mother who attempted to rescue her children, then later telephoned her with a threat warning her not to expose them to the public. Hopefully she and her kids are still alive and not murdered by killers hired by the democrat party. smh
I always use a piece of tape over the latch to keep a door from locking behind me.
OK, let’s all just stop trying to point blame at the Uvaled police officers, and try to focus on the root of the problem: law-abiding gun owners and the 2nd Amendment.
