The Uvalde, Texas mother who, on May 24, defied the cops during the Robb Elementary School shooting by going into the school while police huddled outside in safety, is now saying that she's being targeted by Uvalde police. Obviously they're embarrassed for their cowardice, but they need to stop going after her and pledge to respond bravely to danger, in the future. Due to their failure to go into the room harboring the 18-year-old shooter, 19 young students and 2 teachers died.
But Angeli Rose Gomez didn't wait in the safety of the hallway, instead, she went in to save her children, and she succeeded.
A full 77 minutes passed before the cops grew a pair and went in, killing the shooter and saving nobody.
Now Ms. Gomez says she's being harassed by the cops, who apparently aren't afraid of her.
“The other night we were exercising and we had a cop parked at the corner like, flickering us with his headlights,” she said. according to KABB-TV.
To avoid problems, Gomez put her sons elsewhere, living apart from her “just so my sons don’t feel like they have to watch cops passing by, stopping, parking.”
She said her efforts led to her being handcuffed until an officer she knew freed her.
“As soon as they take me off the cuff I see his arm like, give me a little gateway, because I’m real little so a little gateway where I can just run,” she said, according to KABB.
She said she jumped a fence and hit the window of a door after she spotted her older son’s teacher.
Gomez said she told the teacher, “like you already have a gateway out, so might as well just come out like if I’m going to run out with him, y’all just come on too.”
One down, one to go. Gomez said she walked through the school to find her younger son’s classroom.
“At this moment I’m jiggling the handle and I’m going pretty nuts like trying to get the door open and it’s not gonna open, so I stand back and the cops are already on me and they’re like ‘ma’am calm down!’” she said.
She said she gave police an ultimatum: Evacuate the classroom or she would not leave.
“Immediately they start evacuating that classroom and my son runs out to me and he’s like, ‘mom, mom!” she said. “I just remember when my son saw my other son, one hugged the other one and said ‘I’m so glad you’re OK’, and the other one said, ‘I was so worried you weren’t.'”
“So it was a big thing because in that moment I was like, they’re really happy to see each other, thank god to each other that they’re alive,” she said.

How pathetic can this police force be?
Ms. Gomez sped to the school after hearing about the shooting and was frustrated with the cowardly way the police responded. She told the Wall Street Journal in an interview that she decided to get to the school because she saw police outside the school “doing nothing.”
“They were just standing outside the fence,” she said. “They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”
She said parents were handcuffed and pepper-sprayed when they attempted to rescue their own children.
“They didn’t do that to the shooter, but they did that to us,” Gomez said. “That’s how it felt.”

#AngeliGomez is a hero!! Why haven’t law enforcement been fired yet?? pic.twitter.com/2yOMNClvbYSince the incident, Ms. Gomez has joined protests calling for Uvalde School Police Chief Pete Arredondo to be fired.

I don't believe the Uvalde School Police Chief Pete Arrendondo should be fired--I believe he should be indicted for criminal negligence or something similar. His refusal to send cops into the classroom where the gunman was holed up was cowardly, irresponsible and the cause for lives being lost that should have never been taken.
Mark Di Carlo, Gomez's lawyer, said a lawsuit could be in the works.
“The fact that he wasn’t fired immediately based upon whatever it is, hours of video, from testimonies such as Angeli’s; is an indication that there is some sort of what, corruption or wrong-doing,” he said.
