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"

Easy to sit on your arse and make judgement

Then let's just take stock what is known:

Police respond to a mutha fukn report of shots being fired in an elementary school.

They don't breach the classroom where the shooter is.

19 babies and two teachers are gone. Slaughtered with bullets.

So what should be discerned from those facts despite what position you're sitting in?

@nedkelly No judgement from me. I don't expect cops to throw themselves in front of bullets.

But it is a prime demonstration of the role police play in protecting people in danger. Which is: Almost zero.
