@p.j.talavera8106 Thank you. I just saw your reply. I have to admit' 'though - I do describe everyone there (the officers) as cowards: it doesn't matter that they didn't know what to do: they are trained and armed and have the full force of the state behind them and, as a result, have privileges and prerogatives that none of the rest of us have, including the untrained and unarmed people who did run in there to save children. I also have to say that, up until this happened, I honestly didn't think it was in human DNA to just stand there while children were being slaughtered nearby - even less so with an army of heavily armed police men and women. Maybe it comes from the leadership: we had a police chief over here in the UK who actually resembles the Uvalde police chief: overweight and effete - clearly a political appointment. He was notorious for hiding in his armoured car with 2 other senior officers, locking themselves inside, whilst a junior officer was being murdered nearby by a jihadist with a machete. They're clearly being led by a weak and ineffective, probably corrupt, political appointee, but that only explains to a certain degree, not excuses, their (in)actions that day, in my opinion.
