Reid Agrees: Uvalde Police Would’ve Saved Kids If They Were White

Proving once again how filled with hatred she is, MSNBC’s Joy Reid invited Maria Teresa Kumar the leader of the left-wing Latino voter mobilization organization “Voto Latino” to discuss the delayed police response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and the conversation immediately took an ugly turn when Kumar & Reid both agreed that if the students were white the police wouldn’t have responded so slowly.  

Kumar started off by noting how “since the last election in 2020, Joy, we’ve had over three hundred thousand young Latino and African American youth turn eighteen.” 

Which led her to ask “where do you want to live, and do you want to live in a place that is segregated or in a place that’s inclusive and recognizes you as a human and your rights?” Seemly suggesting that Uvalde is racially segregated by design.  

Referring to the Uvalde Police’s delayed response to 911 calls, Reid decided that Reid would accuse both the Uvalde police and Uvalde Town government of having ulterior motives. 

Reid insists despite not having any law enforcement experience. “it doesn’t take eleven minutes for the police to respond to an active shooter call.” 

Reid added class warfare to the mix. “in wealthy communities, it don’t take eleven minutes.” 

Kumar claimed that she spoke with a Texas senator and said this: “if that had been a different part of town it wouldn’t have taken so long and there wouldn’t have been such a long response rate.” 

She also said that “when you start looking at the statistics and you start looking at the response rate, the utter failure of that police department, you do have to start–take a step back and question what did race play into it.”

In response, Reid predictably replied “absolutely” before wrapping up the segment.

MARIA TERESA KUMAR – Since Joy’s last 2020 election, over 300,000 young Latino/African American teens have reached the age of 18. It is important to consider what the future holds for your country, Texas and yourself. What are your priorities? Do you want to move to a segregated area or one that accepts you and gives you rights? 

JOY REID: And where it doesn’t take eleven minutes for the police to respond to an active shooter call. This was what got me thinking. Because in rich—in wealthy communities, it don’t take eleven minutes. Your sirens are on. It took so long for it to respond. It made me feel very worried.  

KUMAR: What you are echoing is what I shared with him. That this was–If that had been a different part of town it wouldn’t have taken so long and there wouldn’t have been such a long response rate. One likes to feel that is not happening, but sadly when you start looking at the statistics and you start looking at the response rate, the utter failure of that police department, you do have to start–take a step back and question what did race play into it. 

REID: Yeah. 

KUMAR : At the end of it all, these children and their families are suffering. It is our responsibility to first grieve with them and then make Texas a state. 

REID: Absolutely!
