Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says that he was “misled” about the police response to the shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and that he’s “livid.” In earlier statements, the governor praised the police for their “quick response.”

Throughout the attack, teachers and children repeatedly called 911 asking for help, including a girl who pleaded: “Please send the police now,” McCraw said.

What happened in those 90 minutes, in a working-class neighborhood near the edge of the town of Uvalde, has fueled mounting public anger and scrutiny over law enforcement’s response to Tuesday’s rampage. At 11:33 p.m., Ramos entered the school through a rear door that had been propped open and fired more than 100 rounds into a pair of classrooms, McCraw said. He did not address why the door was propped open.Two minutes later, three local police officers arrived and entered the building through the same door, followed soon after by four others, McCraw said.

Arredondo couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Friday. No one answered the door at his home and he didn’t reply to a phone message left at the district’s police headquarters.Gov. Greg Abbott, who at a Wednesday news conference lauded the police response, said Friday that he was “misled,” and he’s “livid.”

The motive for the massacre — the nation’s deadliest school shooting since Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago — remained under investigation, with authorities saying Ramos had no known criminal or mental health history.

MAYBE the news should stop glorifying or vilifying the shooters & STOP making them so famous/infamous. THIS is obviously what they want. Report the incident. Not the shooter. For starters.

No difference between the GOP & Nazi Party. Intense nationalism, mass appeal, extreme ideas, anti-intellectual. It emphasize the will of a charismatic leader as the source of inspiration of a people & nation. It’s vision is the annihilation of all perceived enemies of the party.

And in the next episode of “Who Throws Who Under the Bus…”

It’s not gonna bring closure or help healing. But the parents should file a lawsuit against the state, the police, and the commander in charge.

New lie every day, whatever will get the pressure off

So what! He ate it and the regurgitated it out. That’s what they do! BanAssaultWeaponsNow

Reason 1,376,482 why I’m not religious. Those children are gone forever and this piece of shit gets to wake up everyday.

No one cares about his feelings and obvious excuse! Every officer at the scene should be charged with aiding the killer! Every city official should be removed! There was absolutely no reason officers needed to wait while children were slaughtered!!

Benghazi anyone?

Again … America’s obsession with metal murder dicks is killing all of us by inches

I'm livid that the children and teachers were killed. Why isn't GovAbbott ?

Time to defund the Texas police!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He's upset that all those good guys with guns completely destroyed a well-worn republican talking point.

Yea this really sucks that it happened in Mexico. My prayers go out for that country

This doesn't make sense. Help didn't exist.

Everytime one of these mass shootings occur it still shocks but a little less each. What shocks more each time it happens is the absolute failure to act by politicians to stop it happening again. America you are broken.

I am reluctant to believe he actually cares about anyone but himself. Texas leadership is blatantly uninspiring and deeply incompetent.

He said it *could have been worse*.

How does it feel like to be lied too, I mean misled?

ReflectingMan It’s not my fault. Ever.

Nah he’s a liar…

Abbott was in such a hurry to get in front of a camera, he failed to grasp that Uvalde is a small, economically disadvantaged town. Obviously unprepared for this tragedy, a school cop was given tactical command. That alone should have stopped him from addressing the press.

🙄🤦

Abbott fucked around regurgitating copaganda, and now he's finding out.

Greg Abbott got exactly what he worked for - an 18 year old was able to buy a weapon of war and use it as he pleased. He has no possible reason to be 'livid.' AbbottCruzMassacre AbbottHasBloodOnHisHands

BS . You got caught covering up for the LACK of response instead of criticism of the precious ACCOUNTABILITY POLICE FORCE .

Here’s the BADASS DUDE THAT TOOK HIM OUT.. an off duty Border Patrol Office👊💪👍😎

He's livid

Huhhhh Man what is going on...

I wish someone would mislead Abbott towards a lake

He’s so steamed you guys

You don't need guns. Just call the cops. They won't get there in time and won't do anything anyway. You'll probably die, but trust us, you don't need guns.

Instead of going to a fundraiser he should of been at the homes of the victims or on-site getting answers that what a public official does

That’s what happens when you get all your info from faux news. I’m

Too late.

Hey Gov. Abbot! It does no good to be livid with your subordinates and deflect responsibility from your own responsibilities. Don’t take the job if you can’t step up to the plate. Pure cowardice. Set a better example for the kids who weren’t killed.

Abbott does not care about the kids. He is NOT pro-life, he is pro-power and continues to take blood money from the NRA to keep himself in power. AbbottFailedTexas

PLEASE

People of Texas should forget about who is to blame and start asking questions, start pushing for answers

You all keep talking about no gun control will stop a max man but there are max man’s in Europe and Canada how many mass shootings did they have compared to America.

Now you’re livid not Tuesday night or Wednesday or during your presser now you’re livid you’re police waited to help these kids and teachers
