Ummm, or a set up. All of what you listed is classic setup and distraction. They get you thinking “it’s so messed up, it had to be incompetence”...
Ask yourself why this cop didn’t fight to get to his wife to save her? I’m not saying he’s part of it, but how did they detain him?

Because despite all those talking about what they woulda done, he was probably highly emotional, and the people detaining him were coworkers. They were swarming around him and physically holding him back, telling him he was going to get her and him both killed, etc etc. They were doing it with sincere concern, not reading him his rights etc. It’s a powerful dynamic.
It happens everyday at house fires, car wrecks, ER waiting rooms, etc.
The bottom line is that a small town police department, eyeballs deep in political patronage leadership and Nueces Strip mentality was a failure. They didn’t measure up. That’s the whole story.
Another question would be who were these “local police” that disarmed him? Has anyone tried to find a correlation between the pictures from the security cam in the hallway and known photographs from the local police department or school police department? Not to say that they weren’t legitimate local officers, but that should be checked at least.
