The resignation announcement comes less than a week after the Uvalde City Council released the findings of the independent report it commissioned to investigate the actions of Uvalde police officers who responded to the May 24, 2022, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The investigation determined none of the initial five Uvalde police officers who responded to the shooting violated policy or committed serious acts of misconduct, which devastated and outraged victims' families who attended the hearing.

One of the parents said the chief took the easy way out by resigning. “Veronica Mata, whose 10-year-old daughter, Tess, was killed at Robb Elementary, said of the chief's resignation, ‘He would rather resign than fire his friends. It was an easy way out.’ “ Absolutely sickening all around. My heart goes out to these families. They deserve better.

He does it now because the independent review came out and basically exonerated them, so now he can get a position elsewhere with a 'clean' record. Plenty of places hire shady police leaders because they are easier to use for fascist purposes with their heads that far up their own asses
