  1. Easy: you don’t have a Police Union backing you up in the military.

  2. To serve and protect… themselves. Honestly, I’m reminded of that bank robbery in Los Angeles a few decades ago where the robbers were equipped with semi-auto rifles and head to toe home made body armor. The police with their handguns and shotguns were severely outmatched and had to basically raid a gun shop to grab their own semi-auto rifles and some type of anti-body armor bullets. But in between encountering the robbers and acquiring that new gear, the police were only able to barely contain the robbers and keep the public away. This could have been the issue in Uvalde, they felt they were underpowered against someone with an AR-15.
