Austin news outlets release the entire security camera footage from Uvalde shooting

Austin news outlets release the entire security camera footage from Uvalde shooting The Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV obtained the full video from security cameras in Uvalde's Robb Elementary School and made it public. SCOTT SIMON, HOST: Seventy-seven minutes - that's how long it took police in Uvalde, Texas, to act when an armed man entered the Robb Elementary School. As our friend and colleague Adrian Florido said, there's nothing we didn't intellectually know to be the case, but you see what a failure to act looks like - not people cowering in cars miles away, but these beefy, well-armed law enforcement officers assembling, giving fist bumps at times, hand sanitizing. FOLKENFLIK: I think given the way in which local law enforcement and local officials have betrayed the public trust in not only the failure to protect their young children's lives but the failure to be honest about what happened and providing information and accountability and transparency, it's hard not to view this as a public service, as painful as it is.
