But a wrong decision was made apparently by a police chief with a six-person police force that was put in charge of the response to this horrendous incident,\u201d he told radio host John Catsimatidis. \u201cIt\u2019s mind-boggling and frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bratton, who also headed the Los Angeles and Boston police departments, said Texas authorities failed to adopt active-shooter guidelines that came about after the\u00a01999 Columbine High School mass shooting in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe learned a lot \u2026 from the Columbine tragedy many years ago,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cApparently, unfortunately, with how it seems to be shaping up, the officer in charge, the incident commander in this incident\u00a0in Texas effectively after all the things we learned about this type of incident, he basically didn\u2019t implement them,\u201d Bratton went on. \u201cHe opted to keep those 19 officers outside the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, \u201cthe misinformation that\u2019s been put out by government officials in Texas is mind-blowing,\u201d too, Bratton said. <\/p>\n<p>Uvalde authorities have come under intense scrutiny for their handling of the massacre. Police did not enter Robb Elementary School for more than 90 minutes after arriving at the campus, where a deranged teenager fatally shot his innocent victims\u00a0with an AR-15 assault rifle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/bratton-response-getty-02.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"New York Police Department (N.Y.P.D.)
