Notwithstanding their potestations to contrary, 911 dispatchers relayed the fact that there were kids in the rooms with the shooters at the Uvalde elementary school.
And still they refused to act, a real profile in cowardice there.
As Edmund Blackadder would put it, "It was a viciously sharp slice of mango, wasn't it, sir."
The local cops were lying because usually, their lies are reprinted verbatim by the press. Not so much this time:
Video obtained by ABC News, taken outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, as last week's massacre was unfolding inside, appears to capture a 911 dispatcher alerting officers on scene that they were receiving calls from children who were alive inside the classroom that the gunman had entered -- as law enforcement continued to wait nearly an hour and a half to enter the room.
"Child is advising he is in the room, full of victims," the dispatcher can be heard saying in the video. "Full of victims at this moment."
An ABC News analysis of the video shows that was at approximately 12:13 p.m. -- about 40 minutes after the gunman entered the school.
"Is anybody inside of the building at this...?" the dispatcher asked.
Minutes later, the dispatcher says again: "Eight to nine children."
Clearly the solution is more cops in schools. (Not)
In related news, now that the local police have discovered that no on is buying their lies, they have stopped cooperating with investigators.
I really hope that there is a criminal offense in all of this, because if not, then the law is a fool.
Uvalde spent 40% of its town budget on police. Clearly this is not a wise allocation of resources.
