Cowardice is an assumption. How do we know they weren’t just following orders?
LE wasn’t too cowardly to enforce unconstitutional CoupFlu diktats.
When it came to terrorizing non-compliant local biz and citizens cops were all in on that.
The perception is the citizenry are not like the Minute Men.
The AP is ill in the head, trying to blame this on everything but the way lawyers have hogtied them, leftists defunding them, etc.
Side note: At this point I’m not sticking up for the Uvalde PD - there’s too much stink around their leadership for my liking.
It’s the school police that were “in charge”. That said, there is enough stink to go around to the regular PD.
When the children you have been sworn to protect are being murdered a man with minimal virtue knows what has to be done regardless of risk to his person or subsequent vile behavior by the state, as Mr Rittenhouse found out.
True.
But Law Enforcement looks increasingly like the Redcoats.
Yes, but with much less guts. The people of Massachusetts recognized the courage of King George’s men as they ran the deadly guantlet back to Boston that day. American cops would quickly fold and flee in disorder or simply throw down their arms and cry ‘no mas’. These armed bullies are beneath contempt.
So we need to disarm the citizens and nationalize the police?
Correct.
That’s part of the problem, too. With all varied rules of engagement (who’s in charge, who’s job is to do what, etc.)
Allies in war have had similar problems in the past.
American Prospect is a mush head liberal outfit. It was surprising they printed an essay that was so damning towards the official government hall monitors.
For God’s sake they were children! Ugh!
Exactly. There come times when certain basic truths should conquer all. People who fail that test are not dealt with well by posterity. The joy riding captain of the huge Italian cruise ship he ran into a jetty some years ago fled the scene, Capt. Smith of the Titanic, the Commodore of the White Star Line, faced death calmly on the bridge of his ship after telling his subordinates it was time for them to get on a life vest and go overboard. Who will be remembered favorably by posterity?
“For God’s sake they were children!”
So? Someone else’s lower class children, not their own special class children...
Multiple officers were inside Robb Elementary School with rifles and at least one ballistic shield at 11:52 a.m. the day of the shooting, new video and other evidence shows. They didn’t enter the classroom for another 58 minutes.

That picture tells it all.
“That picture tells it all.”
Sure does...
Too many different LE departments at scene acting in same mannor; School LE, Town PD, Sheriff dept, DPS troopers and Game Wardens (state police),
