Looking like cowards in law enforcement allowed Uvalde to get worse than it would o/w have been.
Testimony on the Texas Senate floor today: 1 hour, 14 minutes and 8 seconds...the length of time the students and teachers waited to be rescued...while law enforcement waited for radios and a key they didn't need. How many would be alive today if they had just gone in immediately. How many bled out in that time?
Meanwhile they arrested a parent on the scene for trying to go in?...WTF?
This is totally impossible to justify.
I haven't heard that any charges are being considered for dereliction of duty. In fact, I think the courts have always decided in favor of the police, that they in fact have no duty to protect citizens from harm.
It is very clear: Our law enforcement is obviously not there to protect us. They are only there to arrest perps (sometimes), and clean up afterward.
