The law enforcement response to the horrific school shooting at an Uvalde elementary school has been facing severe criticism after it was revealed that the shooter was alive inside the building for an hour without being taken out by police.

But the cops had no problem tasing and abusing parents who had to guts to try to save their children.
Correct.
Someone who needed this event. The week of the NRA convention.
According to reports a teacher propped it open a minute before shooter entered?
Single point of failure. Schools need light flashing alarms if a door is propped open.
