You know, a decision was made that this is a barricaded subject situation.

There was time to retrieve the keys and wait for a tactical team with the equipment

to go ahead and breach the door and take on the subject at that point.

That was the decision, that was the thought process that particular point in time.

Hey, with the benefit of, hey, with the benefit of hindsight where I'm sitting now,

of course it was about the right decision. It was a wrong decision. Period. There's no,

no excuse for that.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McRaeacring podcast. I'm here here with Nick Houseman. I hope you all had a decent Memorial Day weekend.

Of course, we are still tracking the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas.

And since then, multiple tragedies in the United States of America that have taken place after.

We were talking a little bit last week, Nick.

This story was just developing as we were recording.

The law enforcement response, how do I put this, sucked, and troubling, disturbing.

And we're going to get into that as well as some of the

sort of underdeveloped topics that are going around this, some of the more disturbing parts of it.

But what's your initial reaction on what we've learned so far?

You know, what was strange to me, I think, was that there was federal response somewhat

quickly, and they just fell in line and listened to the police chief. And I would have thought that like those guys would have just been like F you, like he was in the movies. We see, excuse me, sir, we're taking over now, like, you know, in Die Hard. You would have thought they would just been like, you don't know what you're doing. We're going in there. we're going to do, you know, militarize this thing and take the guy out in five minutes.

So that was strange. You would have thought they would just been like, you don't know what you're doing. We're going in there. We're going to do, you know, militarize this thing and take the guy out in five minutes.

So that was strange to me that they decided to fall in line whatever strict code of, you know, what's that thing? Where, you know, hierarchy. Jurisdiction. Yeah. And I guess that's sort of what's going to happen in terms of covering your ass when they pull this whole thing apart.

But very, very strange.

When this whole thing apart.
