    Just a thing to a massive amount of press there to spend money on rooms and food. The town just needs the money and the press.
    It is unclear if the officers who received court orders to appear are possible witnesses or the subjects of the criminal investigation.

    Texas law requires that a “subpoena or summons relating to a grand jury relating to a proceeding or investigation must be kept secret to the extent and for as long as necessary to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of a matter before the grand jury.”

    This is tragic but it does not require legal proceedings, they were wrong but they were following policy with incomplete information.

    Multiple officers called to bring a scam to get press there to spend money for at least a month.

    The down side about being a cop is you are occasionally called to put your life on the line. Those officers hung back when they should have found a way to engage. Cops can be so stupid sometimes. They were small town cops never even having to understand the big picture. Finally one or two officers told the boss to pound sand, and they went in and took care of business.
    I don't get "cop world".

    Unfortunately, there are people wearing the badge that are ****ing cowards.

    I still think that somehow or other Uvalde was an inside job.

    Investigators say no fault of the police officers.

    Not in this case, they ran towards the sound of gunfire but hesitated and were rent with indecision.

    How?

    No, they were not. They were cowards who couldn't even jump when it was the thin blue line on the line.
    They stood around, mob handed and loaded for bear, doing nothing while children died. They prevented other officers from doing anything.
    They should all suffer legal punishment.

    The small towners didn't breach. A fed did.

    Standing around for 45 minutes stopping other officers from entering, by force, is not "hestiat[ing]".

    I'm not certain. I only read a few accounts when it happened, and something didn't seem right. So many other school (and others) shootings have been inside jobs that I didn't spend the time on that one. Lost interest.

    In leftist society, if you don't get the local verdict you want, then you bring in others to charge.

    It's a decision born out of cowardice.

    The police in that town aren't trained to be expensive with a gung ho mentality. You aren't hired there if you have a past military experience.

    But they aren't insured by the city.

    I'm betting they aren't charged.

    As far as I know nobody that was killed was an adult black man dying from fentanyl overdose. If the police are white that helps.

    They also didn't shoot anybody in self-defense and a BLM rally so they'll probably be completely ignored

    They were a swat team. That scenario is the reason for their existence.

    When the moment of truth came, the truth turned out to be that they were ****ing cowards.

    The town leaders didn't want the children born anyway. You can't see them telling the police to go in and get hurt so that would cost money they couldn't spend on any liberal feel good stuff.
