‘A first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider another career’: Rule book shows how Texas cops IGNORED their own guidelines to let active shooter kill 19 children

The police department in Uvalde, Texas – who have been continuously under fire in the wake of the gun massacre that killed 21 at Robb Elementary School – did not follow their own guidelines in their handling of the shooting. 

The standard operating procedure – which had been gone over just two months earlier in training for a situation like this – says that Uvalde officers needed to prioritize the students and teachers. 

‘A first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider another career field,’ the Uvalde PD guidelines say, as obtained by the New York Times.

Since 2020, schools in the Texas town of about 16,000 have held at least two ‘active-shooter training days.’ The most recent occurred just two months ago, but mass-murder Salvador Ramos, 18, was still able to kill 19 children and two teachers Tuesday after police officers at the scene refused to engage him for 90 minutes.

Those training sessions include classroom instruction as well as role-playing in the hallways of the school.
