There will be no consequences for the cops who did nothing. Cops have no duty to protect you. When they don't protect you, they haven't done anything illegal. Even if what they did was wrong, I don't see how they can be called to account. Criminal probe of police actions during Uvalde school shooting will continue into 2024, prosecutor says - CBS News. This story is from December.
Someone might be fired, or retire early. But I don't think you can say they did anything illegal, when they have no duty to protect the public. And they certainly didn't protect anyone that day.
There are investigations, or at least one anyway, still going on.
A Texas prosecutor says a criminal investigation into police failures during the Uvalde school shooting will continue into 2024, pushing back expectations that a grand jury would convene before the end of the year.
Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell said earlier this week that her staff is still examining the halting and haphazard police response to the May 2022 shooting that left 19 students and two teachers dead. Investigators sent Mitchell their preliminary findings in January and she previously said prosecutors would present evidence related on the massacre to a grand jury this year.
The Texas Rangers either concluded their investigation last Janurary or in July, there seems to be some confusion in the article. Now it is up to the DA, and she is dragging her feet. Or that is what the population believes.
The possibility of criminal charges against some of the nearly 400 officers who rushed to Robb Elementary School but waited more than an hour to confront and kill the shooter has hung over Uvalde since state lawmakers faulted law enforcement at every level with failing "to prioritize saving innocent lives over their own safety." The issue has divided the close-knit community of 15,000 and, as the timeline for the criminal investigation has expanded, so has the frustration of some victims' families with the district attorney.
What would you charge them with? Felonly assholishness? Felony stupidity? Cowardice in the face of the enemy? None of those charges work.
The public wants charges because the public (wrongly) believes that the cops have a duty to protect you. That is what the Left says every day. "Rely on the State. The Police Will Protect You." Or maybe not.
This month, [Velma Lisa] Duran, 52, marked what would have been her sister's 50th birthday. She no longer expects to see justice on Earth for the police who failed to protect her sister and the officials she believes are shielding them.
"I take confidence in God's wrath," she said.
