I hate those coward cops as much as anyone.

quote:

According to Prokupecz, the school district had petitioned the police to tell reporters to leave the area.



If the school wants them off the property, they should leave or face criminal trespassing. The school is telling them to GTF, correct?

I 'm not on either side here.

Jurnos can claim 1st amendment protections and such,
but small town cops and rural county Sheriff's departments can phuck your day.

BTW, those officers do not appear to be wearing body cameras.

Simple solutions is for journalist just move to the police dept. parking lot.

After reviewing the twatt video I see one policeman wearing a body camera.

The Uvalde school police's reaction to the shooting itself and their behavior in the aftermath has been absolutely bizarre. I think there's a lot more to this than what has come out so far.

This is just more click bait headlines.

Editor: Do we have anything sensational today about Uvalde?
Reporter: Not really. They just asked us to leave their parking lot.
Editor: RUN WITH IT!!

I totally get the anger. The officers totally fricked up beyond any measure. They then looked totally incompetent by changing their interpretation of the order of events. When they decide to finally slow down and do a proper investigation like they shouldve done in the first place, they are accused of avoiding the press.

They deserve every bit of the criticism they have earned. The press propping up a straw man about how they are not allowed to camp out in a parking lot is just petty.

Just call it a peaceful protest by BLM sympathizers and there shouldn’t be a problem
