An armed police officer saw the perpetrator outside of #RobbElementary. Ready to fire, he asked for permission to take the shot and was not given the go by his supervisor before the perpetrator entered the building.
This is a catastrophic failure. #Uvalde

Since Columbine, officers have been trained that you stop the killing (neutralize the threat) and then stop the dying (render medical aid), regardless of how many are on scene. They also need to be trained / empowered to neutralize the threat before lives are taken.

🧵 My oncology colleagues know how often I say: #WordsMatter. So I’m thinking about words we use to talk about #RobbElementary & every other incident of #GunViolence in 🇺🇸. Part of why people can scroll past these things, why they may not even register as news to us... /1
Is that somewhere along the way, we had words like “school shooter” & “gunman” drilled into our consciousness as the usual terms. These things oddly sound more like jobs—‘school shooter’ sounds like school principal or school secretary & ‘gunman’ like fireman or repairman… /2
And hear me out on this because the same sentence lands very differently if you substitute, for example, mass murderer or elem school killer. Try it. Grab any article. Listen to any news story. Swap all the words. #Uvalde school shooting m becomes #RobbElemementaryMassacre. /3
Below is an approximate timeline of what is known so far about the #RobbElementary mass shooting, including details about the events surrounding the massacre and conflicting reports. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/timeline-of-te…

Full video of police inhumanity and brutality in #Uvalde at #RobbElementary School.
“Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to,” said Javier Cazares, whose daughter was killed in the 40-minute #RobbElementary school massacre in #Uvalde

The @nytimes reports that the gunman who killed 19 children & 2 teachers at #RobbElementary was rptdly inside the school for “ROUGHLY AN HOUR” hour before police shot him
The real outrage though, is the failure of successive US govts to introduce #GunReform.

N.B. - I chose to post this video only after careful deliberation
Posting videos of families in such horrific circumstances should be avoided wherever possible
However, since no faces are clearly visible & since what the footage reveals is important, I took the decision to post
