After national criticism, and having time to prepare his bs, Uvalde school district police Chief Pete Arredondo, who was in charge during the May 24 mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, defended the actions of his police in waiting an incredible 77 minutes to enter a Robb Elementary classroom to kill a gunman, in a massacre that led to the loss of lives of 19 students and two teachers. It seems that he could not find a key to a locked classroom door!
Now we are not looking at high security bank vaults here, but a door of a classroom, in a rather poor school. Don’t tell me that it could not be broken down by hefty cops, or at worse a sledge hammer, or axe? This smacks of keystone cops. So indeed does the rest of the explanation, since he thought it was a hostage situation, not an active shooter. Well, hostage situations are best dealt with quickly before too many people are taken hostage.
