He was doing the best he could, and nobody could be more shocked and less prepared between the moments of gunfire sounding out and the gunman being in the same room. Please, have some dignity, have some sympathy- just be a human being and pay your respects, the damage is done and the blame rests with the police, the shooter, and the people who refuse to listen to the story that’s been escalating since Columbine.

Every child and teacher dead, family shattered, parent and staff member detained and threatened with a taser when they tried to go in because the cops refused to do something, and the survivor, Mr. Reyes, shouldering this grief that will follow him for the rest of his life-that's on their heads. The shooter is dead, so the only ones left to blame at this point are the police.

I cried when he said all 11 of his students were killed.. my heart is with him and everyone else who was a victim in this horrifying event

This is just a big example of how officer safety is more important than anyone else’s safety including our children. I’m 50 years old and this is the worst case of cowardice I’ve ever seen by law-enforcement

This never should have happened. This teacher is so brave and I'm glad he's speaking out

Sobbing and having a hard time just watching this. my heart is beating so fast and just hurts for these families. I hear the tremor in his voice yet is still worried about people hating him. Crazy and hope someone can help him get through that guilt. It wasn't his fault! something needs to change!

I would imagine that the parents knew him well. That is normal when you entrust a teacher with your child. However grief shows up in many ways. The loss of a child can cause some major mental anguish, including anger at the inappropriate time and at the wrong person. Just so many victims, in so many ways. Peace to them all.

Two weeks later I’m still at a lose for the right words. My heart feels completely broken for the innocent children, your teachers that stood by their students. I’ll never understand why law enforcement waiting so long? They had their weapons and bulletproof vest. The parents were willing to putting their lives on the line to Save the children. The students and teachers didn’t have any protection. They didn’t stand a chance. I can’t begin to comprehend what the parents and families are going through. Not to mention the surviving children. All their lives are changing for every. Everyday I say my prayers I say a prayer for the Community of Uvalde.

This poor, poor man. I’m so sorry…

Guy needs a pension and retirement immediately. He saw 11 kids get shot in front of him. If he wants to be done with work, that's totally reasonable.

My heart aches for Arnulfo, the parents, everyone else close to those who died or were wounded... Prayers for you all. Please be loving and gentle with one another while you grieve.

@Tiny Princess wow that’s interesting because when you google that the first things that come up is exactly what it means lol. “The first “police badges” were the coat of arms worn by knights. The coat of arms identified the knight and his allegiance to justice, chivalry, and his royal leaders by on his shield. Police Officers swear to protect and serve, the same as knights from the medieval era were often sworn in and asked to “Protect the weak, defenseless, helpless, and fight for the general welfare of all.” Before any officer takes the Law Enforcement Oath of Honor, it is important he or she understands what it means. An oath is a solemn pledge someone makes when they sincerely intend to do what they say: Honor... means that one's word is given as a guarantee. Betray... is defined as breaking faith with the public trust. Badge... is the symbol of your office. Integrity... is being the same person in both private and public life. Character... means the qualities that distinguish an individual. Public Trust... is a charge of duty imposed in faith toward those you serve. Courage... is having the strength to withstand unethical pressure, fear or danger. Accountability... means that you are answerable and responsible to your oath of office. Community... is the jurisdiction and citizens served.” By the way that’s from a police website it’s the first one on google to show up when you look up that phrase. That took me less than five seconds so do you mind explaining to me what you think it means? With sources please

@@conceptcs from the sounds of it, I did more (being out of state and blissfully unaware) than the police. At one point they called for the kids to shout for help BEFORE they killed the shooter. At least 1 girl died because of police intervention. Plus with them changing the story and suspicious audio being released, I wouldn't be surprised if they shot a student. Regardless I put 0 kids in danger. The cops put everyone in danger with their incompetence and idiotic natuer.

i simply cannot imagine the pain… of losing all of the children present in your class. anyone who blames this teacher is clearly either not thinking straight or just plain evil. this man did everything he could’ve to keep his kids safe aside from getting himself killed too, which clearly wouldn’t have accomplished anything. we should be thanking him for being brave enough to step forward and share his story.

He's hurting physically & mentally they were his entire class he spent everyday with them. My heartfelt condolences &my prayers.

This boils my blood...my heart hurts so much for them all.

It’s not his fault, hopefully he can come to terms with himself that he did everything he could; risking his own life. I’m hoping the parents aren’t upset at him, they must be going through the stages of grief and it’s possible for them to blame the teacher; but I’m sure they’d understand, with time, he didn’t have the resources to protect all 11 angels.

Law Enforcement to protect and serve, and know full well you might have to give your own life one day to do so. This is a bunch of cowards who did not uphold their oath. Who did not put that oath before their own personal safety. Soldiers gave their lives to protect people of the USA that weren't in immediate danger. Think about it, these police won't do the same for people who are in immediate danger. And Children for God's sakes. And at the most innocent ages! Grown men scared to do the job they signed up to do to save children. Its sad, disgusting, disgrace to anyone who has ever served either military or law enforcement.
