Former police chief and SWAT team member Brian Higgins shares his analysis of the video footage from Robb Elementary School's mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
Newsy"Morning Rush" hosts Rob Nelson and Alex Livingston talk to Brian Higgins, a lecturer at New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice, about video footage from the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
NEWSY'S ALEX LIVINGSTON: So, at that point, do you believe that those officers should have been closer so they could have a better vantage point? A better idea of what was going on? Because like Rob said and we saw in the video, they were pretty far back. LIVINGSTON: Does that pose more of a threat? If someone who does not have any protection in a situation like this, does that do more harm than good if they do run directly into it?
LIVINGSTON: And a reminder: That's 53 minutes into this entire thing. So, close to an hour into the video, you can see officers walking up and down the hallway, with one even looking at his watch. What is the protocol for officers standing by in an active shooter situation? We also saw a video of an officer getting hand sanitizer ... which I assume is not easy to watch as we're hearing bullets ring out.
LIVINGSTON: As you're watching this video, given your background, your career, what is going through your mind? At what point was there just absolute failure in this video?
