Really hard to overstate the incompetence of the police in the Uvalde shooting

as more and more information about the events roll out it only makes me more disgusted.

According to DPS Director Steve McGraw who said twice that the cops were the ones who barricaded the shooter into a classroom.
In addition to it coming out that the cops rushed into the school to save THEIR OWN kids.

Its hard not to interpret this as the "police barricaded the shooter in a classroom full of kids so they would have time to rescue their own kids"

Why can’t everyone just wait for the investigation to be completed before making assumptions? One Uvalde County Deputy lost his daughter. A Border Patrol Agent lost his granddaughter. They may be police officers but they’re also human beings. And it wouldn’t be the first time the media took a law enforcement official’s comments out of context as well.

@JesseInTX I mean this with complete and total sincerity: I would love to be dissuaded from thinking this is what happened

@JesseInTX Boy I wonder who is going to investigate the behaviour of the police

NoahB · 31-35, M

@CountScrofula yeah, unfortunately this is a real "who watches the watchmen?". And police investigations into themselves are infamously lenient

@CountScrofula @NoahB
The Texas Rangers are leading the investigation. They are routinely brought in to assist smaller departments across Texas who don’t have the funding, manpower or resources to handle something as complex as this. And they also investigate local officers for abuse of authority. I have a few who are very close friends.
