A police officer who was hired by the Uvalde school district
despite being under investigation for her conduct during the
school massacre while with the Texas Department of Public Safety
has now been fired.

The school district said in a letter Thursday that Crimson
Elizondo had been fired effective immediately. The decision to
hire Elizondo drew outrage from parents' of victims of the May
24 school shooting that killed 21 people, including 19
elementary school students.

"We are deeply distressed by the information that was disclosed
yesterday evening concerning one of our recently hired
employees, Crimson Elizondo," the school district wrote in the
letter. "We sincerely apologize to the victim's families and the
greater Uvalde community for the pain that this revelation has
caused."

Kimberly Rubio, whose daughter, Lexi, was killed at Robb
Elementary, said the district was right to fire Elizondo, but
said she shouldn't have been hired in the first place.

"As the school district that I send my children off to, I expect
them to be vetted," Rubio told ABC News.

"I applied at Whataburger and had [a] more thorough interview,"
she added. "I don't understand why she herself would apply for
this job. And I also don't understand why the school district
would hire her."

INCOMPETENT BITCH ALERT

CUNTS DO NOT MAKE GOOD COPS

ABC News confirmed Wednesday that Elizondo, a former Texas state
trooper now under investigation for her conduct in responding to
the Uvalde school shooting rampage, was among the new officers
hired for the Uvalde school district police department -- the
same force that has come under fire for the bungled response to
the massacre.

The news was first reported by CNN.

Elizondo was the first member of the Texas Department of Public
Safety to enter the hallway at Robb Elementary School after the
shooter gained entry. The trooper did not bring her rifle or
vest into the school, according to the results of an internal
review by DPS that was detailed to ABC News.

As a result of potential failure to follow standard procedures,
the trooper was among seven DPS personnel whose conduct is now
being investigated by the agency's inspector general. The seven
have been suspended, however, by Elizondo resigning from DPS to
work for the Uvalde schools she is no longer subject to any
internal discipline or penalties. Her conduct -- if found to be
in violation of law or policy -- would be included in the final
report from the DPS IG.

This image from video released by the City of Uvalde, Texas
shows Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Crimson Elizondo
responding to a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde,
Texas, May 24, 2022. The former Texas state trooper under
investigation for the law enforcement response to the deadly
school shooting in Uvalde has been hired by the school district
as a campus police officer.

CUNTS DO NOT MAKE GOOD COPS

Texas DPS said Thursday it sent a memo to the Uvalde school
district on July 28, which was transmitted on a secure law
enforcement network on Aug. 1, saying that Elizondo was under
investigation by the DPS inspector general.

On that day, Lt. Miguel Hernandez of the Uvalde Consolidated
Independent School District Police Department confirmed in
writing: "Got it, thank you so much, MRH." Hernandez took over
control of the department after maligned former Police Chief
Pete Arredondo was fired.

The Uvalde school district did not say when Elizondo was hired,
but they said at a school board meeting on Aug. 8 that "four
officers have been recommended for hire." It's unclear if
Elizondo was one of them.

Neither Hernandez nor the district spokeswoman have responded to
requests for comment.

About two dozen family members of victims had gathered outside
the school district administration building before sunrise
Thursday with signs to protest Elizondo's hiring.

Some families of the victims have joined to form a group called
Lives Robbed. In a statement Wednesday, the group said: "We are
disgusted and angry at Uvalde Consolidated Independent School
District's (UCISD) decision to hire Officer Crimson Elizondo.
Her hiring puts into question the credibility and thoroughness
of UCISD's HR and vetting practices. And it confirms what we
have been saying all along: UCISD has not and is not in the
business of ensuring the safety of our children at school."

The statement continues: "We cannot trust the decisions that
have been made in regard to the safety of our schools.
Therefore, we are calling for all UCISD officers to be
suspended, pending the conclusion of the investigation by JPPI
Investigations LLC. The results of this investigation must be
released to the families of the victims of the Robb Elementary
shooting, as well as to the public. Our families have been
calling for accountability, and we deserve transparency and
justice at the state, local and federal levels. Our children
have been taken from us. We will not stop fighting until we have
answers and we ensure the safety of the children in our
community is the top priority."

Kimberly Rubio told ABC News Thursday, "I think that the first
step is investigating these officers. Putting them on suspension
while you do so. Making sure that you're hiring the right
people. Making sure your doors are locked, making sure the gates
are up."

Despite Elizondo's firing, Rubio said, "I'm very frustrated.
It's never-ending. We'll never move on, but we still deserve
transparency -- accountability, justice. Nobody's helping us."

Questions were also raised about the district's pre-hiring
vetting of Arredondo, who has been blamed for much of the
bungled shooting response. He had been demoted in a previous
job, and critics contend that work history was not taken into
account when the district hired him to run its police force.

The practice of police officers switching jobs and jurisdictions
despite concerns raised in prior posts has become a concern
nationally. Some have called for the creation of national
standards and databases that would enable prospective employers
to learn quickly whether a cop has anything potentially
disqualifying in their employment history.
