Everyone owes it themselves to watch the PBS Frontline documentary on the Uvalde response.

Cowardice, gross negligence, and outrageous incompetence.

The only people I had respect for was the BORTAC team that showed up and got the shit going and actually made entry into the room.

Don't forget about the parents who tried to enter the school but were stopped by said cowards.

Pretty sure one parent actually did enter the school and get their kid.

That parent was one of the coward police officers.

One of the cops' spouse worked in the school and they had to physically restrain him from going in

Has he come out to say anything or is he sticking to the blue line?

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Seems he resigned from that department but I can't find anything about him other than a piece talking about his wife since then. Nothing about his stance on policing, his job, etc.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Resigning from the department tells me enough, thanks.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

No idea actually. Haven't heard much about him since the story came out. I will have to look up what came of this, if anything is out there to know.
