   Police officers responding to the Uvalde massacre of 19 children   
   and two teachers whine about their fears of getting shot in   
   newly leaked bodycam footage from the day of the tragedy.   
      
   Nearly 400 law enforcement officers from different agencies   
   responded to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in May, but   
   waited outside the building for over an hour while 18-year-old   
   gunman Salvador Ramos slaughtered his way through two classrooms   
   of children.   
      
   In the footage, heavily armed officers with bullet proof vests   
   from the Texas Department of Public Safety [DPS] linger outside.   
      
   “Want to jump the f—–g gate or what?” asks one officer in the   
   video obtained by a San Antonio, Texas TV station.   
      
   “What is the safest way to do this? I’m not trying to get   
   clapped out,” responded the second DPS trooper.   
      
   “Me neither,” said the first officer.   
      
   “I also don’t like standing right by the windows where we can   
   get shot, bro,” add the second officer.   
      
   The video also showed confusion and chaos, with officers unsure   
   about basic facts, such as who had been shot and who was in the   
   classroom with the shooter, and a continued hesitation to take   
   action.   
      
   “You’re going to put yourself in danger,” one officer can be   
   heard asking another officer.   
      
   Eventually a classroom door was breached and Ramos was shot, but   
   a scathing report by Texas lawmakers released in July blasted   
   the law enforcement response to the tragedy.   
      
   The video surfaced hours before the Texas Department of Public   
   Safety held a public meeting where elected officials and parents   
   of the murdered Uvalde children were able to address DPS brass,   
   including the head of the investigation, DPS Director Steven   
   McCraw.   
      
   In previous public statements to the families of the victims,   
   McCraw said he would resign if his troopers had “any   
   culpability” in the botched police response.   
      
   “Are you a man of your word?” asked Brett Cross, whose 10-year-   
   old nephew Uziyah Garcia was killed, as he confronted McCraw   
   Thursday morning.   
      
   “Absolutely,” McCraw responded.   
      
   “Then resign,” Cross said.   
      
   Before the meeting ended, McCraw maintained his stance that DPS   
   officers did their job.   
      
   “I can tell you this right now: DPS as an institution, right   
   now, did not fail the community — plain and simple,” McCraw said.   
      
   Following the massacre, various officials have been fired   
   including DPS Sgt. Juan Maldonado, who was at the scene during   
   the shooting.   
      
   Uvalde schools police chief Pete Arredondo was fired in August   
   and the entire school district police force was suspended   
   earlier this month.
