Active shooter reported at Texas elementary school

from PBS:

Jailah Nicole Silguero, 10, didn't want to go to school on Tuesday, her mother told Univision.

Silguero was one of the 19 children and two teachers killed by a gunman that day at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Her cousin, Jayce Luevanos, was among those killed, according to her mother.

On Facebook, her mother called Jailah her "beautiful angel," adding "mommy&daddy love u so much baby."
 
CNN posted photos of the children running away from the shooting on their instagram....sickos!
 
Interesting.

You overestimate their abilities. The police responding to the incident waited 1 hour and 15 minutes to breach the classroom where the killer was because they believed he was barricading himself. The decision to wait came directly from the commander. Nineteen children and two teachers died because of that indecision and an unbelievable display of cowardice. How could they assume there were no occupants in the classroom? How could they make the determination that the killer wouldn't shoot up the classroom he was in?

And you think they would have carried out your method in an efficient fashion?
Most likely PC paranoid about possibly killing a minority murderer. That’s what Floyd , BLM and Defund has brought us to.
Children dead in bunches to avoid a cherished minority criminal getting his just desserts.
 
Was he shouting "I wanna be a woman!: as he gunned down innocent children. My word, you are as dumb as a rock. I have never heard such a crazy excuse for a mass shooting. If you are not on meds, you need to be. I took you off ignore a few days ago. That was a mistake. Now you go back on....

It gets fucking worse every time a new detail emerges. Now Chief of Police is saying cops could have been killed if they entered. Fundamental lack of understanding as to what their job is.
Yeah, and to add insult to injury, the gun lobby always state more guns and armed people, yet as it goes to show, utterly ineffective. Dreadful state of affairs.
 
Demonstration of communication and decision making in a command structure:

Decision to stand down goes out and the officers comply, that decision was communicated.

Decision to stand down is withheld and the officers proceed on previous orders, the decision was not communicated.

Pertinent authorities botch information relay to higher-ups, including Governor Abbott, communication of information and decision making was not communicated properly, leading to Governor Abbott relaying incorrect or false information to the public, leading to a collapse in communication.

Communication and decision-making go hand in hand regardless of how funny you think that sounds.

"Communication and decision making are dynamic processes essential for an organization's functioning. Communication involves transmission of information among individuals and subunits. Decision making uses information to set direction and solve problems."


 
"Communication plays a central role in group decision making. Group decisions primarily result from the opinions that group members have about an issue or course of action. Individual opinions can and do change as a result of group communication. Communication affects group decision making in at least two important ways.

First, group members influence each other through the messages they exchange. When one member opposes the idea of another member, for example, then the group must reconcile the difference in some way. If a low-status person in the group raises a good idea, it is likely to be rejected publicly by the group members. It is interesting to note, however, that the opinion of low-status members will slowly influence each member's private beliefs. The consequence, in the long run, is that the low-status group member's willingness to express a contradictory opinion can have a real effect on the decisions of a group. The low-status member, however, is less likely to get credit for the good idea than the more high-status members of the group.

Second, group communication is typically patterned, and these patterns influence the course of decision making. For example, some groups develop communication patterns that are extremely polite and formal. These habits can make it difficult to raise a difference of opinion and the speaker often has to "water down" his or her disagreement to the degree that the opposition seems pointless. Other groups embrace open conflict. In these groups, the simple act of agreeing or supporting another person's comments can easily be taken by that person as a challenge. Thus, group communication has a variety of effects on decision making, in particular in the role communication plays in the formation of decisions and in decision-making outcomes."

 
Yeah, I thought as much. If you think there is no relationship between communication and decision-making, you're naive.

Now, Unkotare, please tell me how such a poorly understaffed and poorly trained organizational apparatus in a backwater town in Texas could have effectively carried out your method for preventing mass murder when there was poor communication that led to poor decision-making and ultimately the deaths of 21 people.
