Read veteran police and responders on the active shooter training failure -> @ZeekArkham @Dakota_Meyer @Sal_LaBarbera @sgtbetsysmith @bigricanman @sidblair emilypostnews.com/p/law-enforcem… #EmilyPosts

“Personally, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if it was an active shooter, and I didn't engage. And to say I was afraid, or I was waiting for backup. I couldn’t fathom that.”

- @ZeekArkham on #UvaldePolice

“It should be more acceptable to go to 40 first responder funerals before 1 child’s funeral because that’s what WE signed up for when we took our oath.”

- @Dakota_Meyer - Medal of Honor Marine and firefighter on #UvaldePolice

“How do you get that many people at one time and in one place and all of them are eunuchs?

“I’ve been in a number of gun fights … If you don't have what it takes to do that you’re not in the right line of work.”

Dept Sheriff @sidblair on #UvaldePolice

“I was just shocked that not a single officer ran back down that hallway. Three officers that ran away from the gunfire.  They were listening to their bosses on radio instead of doing what they may have thought was right.”

- @Sal_LaBarbera LAPD detective on #UvaldePolice

“It’s not police cowardice, it’s a lack of leadership. And after what has happened the last two years – what happens to cops who use deadly force? They go to jail. They get fired. They get indicted. They lose their pensions.”

@sgtbetsysmith spox for @NatPoliceAssoc #UvaldePolice

“The climate in this country has made incidents like this a no-win situation for law enforcement. I will never excuse inaction with a fear of persecution. I’m saying the anti-police vitriol in this country is endangering everyone.”
@bigricanman on #Uvalde police response

“He’s a coward – Arredondo. He was put there as a political plant. You know how hard it is to get a $100,000 a year job in Uvalde, Texas? He’s a straight up politician.”

Retired Secret Service and Air Marshal and @sidblair on #UvaldePolice
