Another officer of the shield arrived at 1203.
Another with a shield arrived a few minutes later.
30 minutes before they breach it.
The guy in charge is wondering, could he be shot through a window.
Finally at 1246 he told the tactical team members to breach the door when ready.
I mean look, you can see in this picture by the way,
it is possible that I'm misinterpreting this.
But what it looks like for that ballistic shield.
It looks like it's the type that has a firing ports in it and
it looks like that guy has got a rifle or a shotgun pointed through it.
Like this footage is revealing what they had.
They keep saying that they were totally outgunned.
All of the evidence proves that it's not the case and
I'll remind you that they are working as hard as I've ever seen cops work
to stop more of the body cam footage from being revealed.
What must be on that footage for them to be fighting this hard,
what was said, what will they have?
What more is there left for Arredondo to have said that can be proven to be false.
And maybe we'll find out, maybe we'll find out, go to this tweet by by the way you'll
see, its shields and rifles and all of that stuff.
And look, we feel the need because obviously we as a network have for
a very long time been very critical of the cops cuz cops have provided a never ending
supply of reasons to be critical of them.
So when cops fail, we have to talk about that.
When cops lie, we definitely have to talk about that.
But I will say again what I have said, basically, every time that we've
talked about Uvalde, I kind of hate that we need to check all of this stuff Alonso.
Because it makes it seem as if this is the relevant variable and
I don't believe that it is.
And to prove that, consider an experiment.
What if they'd had the key or what if the cops had been braver or
what if the cops had moved in faster?
What if the cops had done right?
All of the things that we've identified that they did wrong.
Would that have solved all the problems?
No, maybe some lives would have been saved, that's good.
I would have loved that.
But a bunch of people would have died, in the first few moments.
Because what let that happen isn't the cops weren't brave enough.
It's that a deranged 18 year old was able to get an assault rifle.
That was the problem.
You might be able to, we could do little tweaks around the edges,
that get cops to rush in the door faster or whatever.
Maybe have more AR-15's waiting to go for them.
That helps in response to the true problem, which is that people can get
these incredibly deadly guns and kill a bunch of people almost instantaneously.
And because we're focusing so much on the cops, you'll notice in Texas,
they're not considering changing anything having to do with assault rifles.
Nationally, we're considering like a little bit around background checks,
a little bit around red flags,
nothing about raising the age to get their AR-15 or anything like that.
And so, this looks really bad for Uvalde.
This has been a terrible PR situation for them.
But for the right, this is basically played out how they would have wished
because nothing fundamentally is gonna change.
It is gonna be just as easy for the next potential mass shooter to go and
get a couple of AR-15's and kill a bunch of people.
And we're gonna be left, like with our fingers crossed,
hoping that the cops Rambo through the door in a couple of minutes, so
that only five or 10 kids die next time.
That's my fear Alonso.
>> Well, I don't blame the right because the right wing stated their position and
they haven't changed that they're okay with these weapons.
And and by the way, there have been many gun experts and
people who know these things who have said a AR-15 and
assault and military style weapons are made to kill people, okay?
They're not made to haunt, they're not made.
I used to do a joke that that these things shoot through bulletproof vests if
you're hunting.
And you see a deer with a bulletproof vest,
you should probably leave him alone, okay?
That'd be one that he knows somebody, right?
It's sad.
I'm not joking about this murder, but
I joke about the ridiculousness of this theory.
No, this is on the democratic party, this is on the democratic leadership.
Who doesn't you talk about being cowards?
They don't have the courage to pass an executive order.
They don't have the courage to stop these weapons.
I happen to be in London when this happened.
If you see the foreign press, they're totally baffled as to how
many school shootings we have and how easy it is to buy the weapons.
They're absolutely baffled.
They're they're like, what are you people doing?
What is wrong with you?
So, I don't blame the right wing, this is on the Democratic Party for
not doing anything.
You talk about weakened laws, New York passed a law against body armor.
Two words were not in the law, body and armor.
The body armor used in the Buffalo shooting,
is still legal after this law has been passed.
So, how many toothless?
It's all just talk, how many toothless laws are you gonna pass?
How many times you gonna suggest?
Listen, Bill Clinton banned assault weapons, okay?
Newt Gingrich was mad about it.
They were all mad about it.
You know what happened?
There were fewer mass shootings.
That's what happened.
That was the result, there were fewer mass shootings.
I'm not anti gun, I'm anti stupid.
We are stupid, okay?
Guns in responsible hands, educated hands, guns are okay.
People hunt, people target, shoot, whatever, all of that's fine.
These weapons have been designed for the military and to kill people.
That is the purpose of these weapons.
When does it stop?
It doesn't, it doesn't.
>> 100% yeah, it is indisputable that some people clearly shouldn't have guns.
This is one of the many indisputable things that they refuse to actually
acknowledge.
Their response will always be well, okay, no, but
like if just if good people also have guns, that's fine.
Okay, well in that case go into jail and give all the prisoners guns.
I mean, what's the difference?
The guards have guns, so it equals out, none of this makes any sense.
It's absolute madness and its fundamental madness because they don't care.
As Alonzo said earlier, we made the decision that kids being gunned down,
their bodies being blown apart, doesn't matter now,
most Americans don't agree with that.
But unfortunately, a critical mass of those in elected office,
do Lauren Barber Greg Abbott, these people don't care, they just don't care or
at least they don't care enough to do literally anything about it.
If it was of no cost to them or the industries that they defend, or
their electoral prospects, or the culture where they engaged in,
then sure, maybe they'd prefer.
In that hypothetical world where it costs them nothing fewer kids
being blown to bits.
But in a world where there is a cost, they just don't care.
It doesn't matter.
