‘Revolting’ Video of Uvalde Cops Fist-Bumping and Using Hand Sanitizer as Children Were Murdered Enrages All of Twitter
The Austin American-Statesman released four minutes of video from the May 24 school shooting in Uvalde on Tuesday. The images show some officers did less than nothing during the killing spree.
An ominous clip shows the gunman enter Robb Elementary School. Three minutes later, armed officers arrived and protected themselves. Sounds of screaming children were edited out.
Over a period of 77 minutes, dozens of cops inside the building refused to breach what we now know was an unlocked door to kill the gunman.
Officers did find time to check their phones and share a fist bump. Another cop on scene utilized a hand-sanitizing station.

Two officers fist-bumped each other and another stopped to get hand sanitizer while 19 children and two teachers begged for help and bled to death for over an hour. That’s an actual thing I just watched unfold.

so let me get this straight. Uvalde officers were inside within 5 minutes, stood around for over an hour, made sure to get HAND SANITIZER… while still hearing rounds being fired & the kids screaming?
What the FUCK are we doing here?? This is revolting.

Like many educators across this country, I would, without hesitation, risk my life to protect your children you left in my care.
So, to see this officer casually getting a squirt of hand sanitizer while dozens of students and teachers are being killed.
