No, A Teacher DIDN’T Prop Open The Uvalde School Door

During a press conference following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the state’s Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw pointedly directed the finger of blame at a teacher for allegedly propping a door open, allowing the shooter to enter the school with ease. Now it turns out that this was not the case, the teacher in question is shown on video kicking away the rock propping open the door and pulling the door shut. So add one more to the list of lies told by police to cover up their incompetence and cowardice in failing to protect those children.

Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this hamfisted attempt by police to redirect responsibility for the shooting onto anyone else but themselves.

Again cops investigate, and again, "we have determined we have done nothing wrong...it was the terrified English teacher making 30k to look after your kids.."

[etherdetroit]

And we're called "conspiracy theorists" for asking questions or don't believe the narrative.

[Phoenix]

And even if the door was left open, how does that excuse waiting 80 minutes to contact and/or confront the lone gunteen?

[MegaMgala]

They either intentionally lied to cover up or they gave a effing press conference not watching the security footage? It’s beyond words. I can’t believe it.

[griffinsmithish]

If the door has to be propped open with a rock, then it's logical to assume it locks when it shuts.

[trevalyan]

Lie to the police = do time
The police lie over and over and over?

Nothing.

[Pryme]

Did they ever answer why some of the cops got their own children out safely, then stopped other parents from doing the same (or instead, go back for the other children themselves)?

[danielmabie]

The media refuse’s to do their job so Jimmy has to. Maybe we need comedians to do police work as well.

“We investigated ourselves & we did nothing wrong” ~ Uvalde Police Department 😡😡😡

[matthewgilfus]

She has to remain anonymous so the Uvalde police don't come and "speak" with her and try to "convince" her that she misremembered.

[AngryReptileKeeper]

The government: "You don't need guns because the police will keep you safe."

The police:

[robertfalse]

Blaming the teacher was astounding, even if she did leave the door open. She is not operating a fort, and she is not hired to be a fighter.

[CoachForsyth]

The failure at all levels for the Uvalde police is staggering...and it is sad that this department is infected with cowards.

[keefbeef]

There are probably 10+ doors and the shooter walks straight to the correct open one.... these stories always stink to high heaven

[peschi]

Wow, seems like the investigation is moving right along. Someone give these heroes a doughnut 🍩

[marqicewalker]

Let’s take the time to appreciate firefighters. Danger or not they’re doing the job they applied for.

[caldepen]

Whenever you have that level of detail, you know it is a bullshit. These despicable supposed lawmen need to resign, not take council jobs.

[Che-e]

"To serve and protect." Please🙄 more like to shirk and blame.

[mikehighteeveedub]

This reminds me when the Ottawa Police trampled protesters during the Trucker Freedom Convoy using Quarter Draft horses. The police claimed a protestor threw a bike under the horses. On video review It was in fact an 80 year old Aboriginal woman on her mobility scooter that they purposely trampled.

That's the police for you - always playing the victim when they're trampling on your rights.

[ThirdDimensionalBeing]

Another blow to the "authorities" of our nation. Drain the US police departments swamp.
