Families of the children and teachers killed in the Uvalde, Texas, school massacre are renewing demands for criminal charges after a scathing Justice Department report again laid bare numerous failures by police during one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.
“I’m very surprised that no one has ended up in prison,” said Velma Lisa Duran, whose sister Irma Garcia was one of the two teachers killed in the May 24, 2002, shooting. “It’s sort of a slap in the face that all we get is a review … we deserve justice.”
The release of the nearly 600-page report Thursday — roughly 20 months after the shooting — leaves a criminal investigation by Uvalde County prosecutors as one the last unfinished reviews by authorities into the attack at Robb Elementary School. Nineteen students and two teachers were killed inside two fourth-grade classrooms, while highly armed police officers waited in the hallways for more than hour before going inside to confront the gunman.
How will they get around the fact SCotUS has already ruled that the police have no duty to protect you.
They will get it on “didn’t follow departmental procedures” or “didn’t follow normal policing guidelines” and not on “didn’t save my children”.
“Nothing says ban assault rifles like 5 school officers, 8 federal DEA officers, 13 U.S. Marshals, 16 sheriff’s deputies, 25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers plus 149 U.S. Border Patrol agents being scared of 1 shooter with an AR-15.”

How the fuck can someone get that so wrong, and nobody catch it before release? Cmon.
E: also
hallways for more than an hour
Huh? That is when the shooting happened…
In the little blurb under the title it says 2002 instead of 2022 for when this happened
Ah, gotcha.
They just fixed the typo in the article in the last hour or so after it was posted here
I think I just misread.

Unfortunately the other citizens of Uvalde don’t give a flying fuck about them, their families, the children, or the known utter failure of these perfect examples of ACAB.
