The Uvalde shooting: Facts, lies & narratives

Jeff & Will are two Uvaldeans who are disturbed by the lies & distortions from the media and also from DPS Director McCraw. So we set out to investigate.

[The Uvalde shooting: Facts, lies & narratives @UvaldeShooting]

DPS Director McCraw spun his “one bad cop” narrative to the Senate – that one cop was stopping all these other cops from entering, and that DPS had no culpability. Then the bodycam footage came out and exposed McCraw’s lie.

It’s fascinating stuff. Absurdities are often fascinating.

As the Department of Justice COPS organization advises: Frame the narrative, then Control the narrative.

At the 2016 Pulse shooting, @SheriffMina's officers waited outside the building for 8 minutes and 189 rounds.¹....

@DOJ /COPS³ may be dishonest, but they're not wrong – at least from a public-relations scandal-management perspective. Image is everything. Perception is reality. Control the narrative, even if it has to be a false narrative.

That was one of the first questions the SWAT/BORTAC Commander asked: Where inside the room is the gunman? Where inside the room are the children?

The discussion was the mass murder of children. And two grown men were not taking the discussion seriously. They were acting.

Inside our Texas Capitol building, two grown men were discussing the mass murder of children. Instead of having a serious conversation, DPS Director McCraw and Senator @electCharles Perry performed theater. . . .

First, not every officer had on a bulletproof vest. And those who did had vests that would stop a pistol, but not an AR15…

Second, shooting into a dark room filled with children is not like shooting at a gun range. No thinking person believes that....

In the Interim Report, Representative Dustin @Burrows4TX promised a Final Report. When will that report be published?

@TexasObserver McCraw's greatest since is not that DPS officers didn't act. His greatest sin was that the subject was the mass murder of children and for four hours in front of the Senate he lied and deceived and spun a concocted story.

@SanAntoGuera @RolandForTexas @TxDPS This is not the worst sin of DPS Director McCraw. His worst sin is that, for four hours, he stood in front of the Texas Senate and lied and deceived about what happened when 19 children were murdered. We have documented his lies here: https://t.co/EiyxbJCGCt. Please take a look.

@James_Barragan @TexasTribune @jaspscherer Best news today. Maybe call one last press conference to answer all the questions about Uvalde! Then turn in your cowboy hat and your badge! Adios mofo!

Page 112 of the report. Senators @TeamBettencourt and @SenBryanHughes buy into McCraw's fabricated narrative.

Who will pay the price? The people at the next shooting.

At 12:13 p.m., two officers entered the building and told the Tactical Commander, the SWAT/BORTAC Commander, about the 911 calls and the victims inside the classroom. He then confirmed the information.

In his four-hour Senate testimony about the mass-murder of children, @TxDPS Director Steve McCraw lied directly to Senator @CreightonForTX. What McCraw told Creighton never happened is exactly what happened. It's on the bodycamera....
