New footage of police inaction during Uvalde, Texas school shooting sparks outrage

Newly released footage of the police inaction during Texas’ Uvalde school shooting has caused global outrage.

The footage of the police inaction during the school shooting at Uvalde, Texas, shows dozens of police officers stationed in corridors, taking 77 minutes to intervene.

The killer, Salvador Ramos, can be seen entering the school before barricading himself in classrooms.

The new video was captured by surveillance cameras from inside the school which show how the events unfolded.

The video was published by local media and was edited to remove the screams of the terrified children as well as the violent scenes.

What the footage did show was the inaction of the police, who took 77 minutes to intervene. The slow police response has provoked the indignation of parents as well as people across the globe.

Many took to twitter to express their outrage:

“WATCH: An officer wearing a ballistic vest found ample time during the Uvalde school shooting to squirt hand sanitizer from a dispenser and rub his hands together (12:30 PM timestamp, well before the gunman was killed).”

To which another user responded: “And he pulled out his phone. Unbelievable smdh I’m disgusted.”

“The footage from Uvalde is absolutely gut-wrenching. How is anyone supposed to trust cops at this point? The US policing system needs a complete reboot & anyone who doesn’t see that is willfully ignorant.”
