re: Jury Acquits Uvalde police officer who refused to engage with school shooter

duty to act and requirement to act are two entirely different things
I don't know or recall what difference there is in the two, but there is still the issue I see where if there is no duty/ requirement to act, fine. Move so someone else can. The problem is government monopolizing action of individuals, such as FEMA disallowing individuals to render aids or supplies in the Carolina hurricane flooding but then not helping people their own selves.
What society will we have when individuals have given up their ability and expectation to protect themselves and provide for their communities, and they have given that role to government, and then that government refuses to act?
I cannot, legally or as a parent or as an American, reconcile a non obligation by law enforcement to go in there but prevent parents from going in, then not be held accountable. Thoughts.

Police aren’t military under the law. They can’t be ordered on a suicide mission. They also have no duty under the law to protect specific people. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this
Scalia wrote the majority opinion. I remember covering it in law school. Clarify, was that only protection from civil liability, though? If it were to extend to criminal liability, would not a motion have not been filed before trial to prevent the attempt to charhe the officer, or perhaps just appeal a conviction of he were convicted?
What doesn't make sense is that there is no criminal or civil liability for inaction by officers when they can ALSO prevent parents from going in to do their natural duty. Either officers have no affirmative duty to go into such a situation and thus cannot prevent parents from going OR they fricking go in.

actually it was huge through all of acadiana until late 70s. and pretty much only french was spoken at the fights. so not culcha. Cockfighting goes way way back in LA history, spaniards also made it grown here.
jays cockpit in cankton had international visitors back in the day.
For sure. Cock fighting has been a thing in numerous cultures, like in Mexico. Certainly not just black folks did it in Louisiana. But I do take this to be an extension of dog fighting at this point in history. After all, maybe unless they've got it to where the chickens don't kill each other, that's a little messed up.

4.
We also had a couple miscarriages preceding, so 4 isn't entirely accurate.

well heilheil, you riding the wrong horse. the guy on trial was one person out of the 350 cops attending that day. His sin, he was one of the first, did not know what was going on, hesitated for 3 whole minutes, trying to understand if there was one shooter, or 3 or 4. Did not know where the person/persons were. The 2 week trial was appropriately settled by the jury in 1 hour .
The specific facts always matter. I cannot accept, however, that at least ONE officer should not face criminal liability consequences. Which one? On exactly what charge? That is for the prosecutor to get right.
But if we are to say from the SCOTUS case years ago that officers are not affirmatively obligated to come to any specific call and thus are not civilly liable for crimes that happen to individuals, and if we cannot get criminal liability in this case, then NEVER again can an officer prevent a citizen from attempting to stop a crime again.
To be held back outside a school while knowing my baby is crying inside and wondering where her hero daddy is to come save her while she bleeds out alone with her dead teacher because some robo cops want to prep some more is an unimaginable horror, an unforgivable sin.
Officers either have an obligation or not. Do the duty or let the parents do their job.

I understand white flight and red lining.
I am not saying it was appropriate, at least not in the 50s and 60s before culcha as we know it developed. I am saying I understand the process.
