Imagine releasing a letter after 19 children were killed and saying "our guys were shot at but thank God they weren't killed"
Yikes

LINK uvalde training manual says that if you are not willing to put your life on the line, you should seek other employment.

The ISD police chief was in control at the school.

He is trying to throw the ISD under the bus. No mention of the sheriff officers or any other agency the responded, including the Border Patrol agents responsible for ending it.
There was a single ISD officer who we know responded. He was working at another school:
So not only insensitive to the victim's families, but fully knowing that the single ISD officer responding was held back by his officers from going in.

Mireles’s husband, Ruben Ruiz, is a school police officer, and her mother-in-law works in the district’s central office, according to Lydia Martinez Delgado, who is the mother-in-law’s sister. Martinez Delgado said her sister relayed to her that Ruiz rushed to the elementary school when he heard reports of the shooting and entered the building, then he saw it was his wife’s classroom.
He tried to enter but had to be held back by other officers, Martinez Delgado said she was told. Eventually, Ruiz returned to his mother’s office, where they got the news that Mireles was dead.
So not only insensitive to the victim's families, but fully knowing that the single ISD officer responding was held back by his officers from going in.

Jeez did the cops just go there to block? You can't hold people back if you have no plan to do anything.

There's something really wrong with this man. The honorable thing at this point would be to resign and kill himself. He made a drastically bad decision to prioritize his officers over children.
You do realize this is from the city police chief and not the ISD police chief who was in charge, right? However, this guy should have just ordered his own men in when he saw the ISD police chief wasn’t upholding his duties.

Multiple law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas that part of the delay in stopping the barricaded elementary school shooter hinged on a deadly mix of the shooter’s defensive tactics and the lack of needed gear. Specifically, officers lacked the ballistic shield needed to enter the classroom with the barricaded shooter. Attempting to breach the door without a ballistic shield would have resulted in certain death for the officers which could have provided the shooter with the officers’ weapons and ammunition.
Police initially lacked ballistic Shield
It appears as if any blanket statements about any cop or LEO not getting it right. Will be because they lacked the fortitude and training to bypass needing a ballistic shield.
Myself and any mother or father I have known would not hesitate to go in after their child, even unarmed and ill prepared. Another school shooting in a small town in Ohio had a mother go in armed and she was arrested on the spot.
So it get's down to the don't go in a burning house unless you are trained; because you will die trying to save someone. And what good does a child losing their mother do if the fireman get them out?
I think once the investigation is over we will find that initially----the training tactics ruled by them lacking equipment. The school police chief should have overruled protocol of tactics; and garnered enough manpower to ambush & or rush the crazy kid.
Also, even in the school shooting in a tiny Ohio town of 1500. They always have a Law enforcement person on duty at the school. This school didn't, why?

Officers were told, under Chief Arredondo’s direction, that the situation had evolved from one with an active shooter — which would call for immediately attacking the gunman, even before rescuing other children — to one with a barricaded subject, which would call for a slower approach, officials said.
That appeared to be an incorrect assessment,

That is policespeak for "I will answer all the questions I want to."
Yeah, but most of them at least phrase it a bit more eloquently. “I will be able to answer all the questions that we can” is so thoroughly uninformative and so poorly written that it doesn’t even serve as useful filler.
The only reason it’s even a true statement is because there’s no way to make it false: The questions you’re able to answer are ALWAYS the questions you *can* answer, whether there’s been a full investigation or not. Either way, though, I agree that it doesn’t offer much hope that the Uvalde Chief of Police will be more forthcoming than the school district police force (or whoever it was that was nominally in charge) when all is said and done.

Thread back from the dead
Recent photo shows that they had a shield. 19 counts negligent homicide per each.

Everyone should be demanding to see the body-cam footage. At least someone outside the circle of those in the town with (potentially) something to hide. Are any of the cops responsible for accidentally shooting children?
