I’d like to know how many cops the town has, and how much or how little training they’ve had. I suspect that the town, like most in the country, has had an exodus of experienced cops thru resignation or retirement, and has had a hard time recruiting anyone to be cops. So far, I haven’t heard anyone on TV ask these questions.

That’s a good question.

Looks like there has been another prophetic movie:

“We’re the police! We’re not trained to handle this kind of violence!”

As more information comes out, it gets worse:

The Uvalde City School District has its own police department — staffed with a chief, five cops, and a security guard

How many cops quit because of vaccine policies?

Texas averages about 2 cops per thousand, so a town of 15M can expect to have 30-35 cops. Maybe a third currently on duty, so about ten running around town. Really makes one wonder where the other 140 cops came from on such short notice...?

If it’s like my area, we have a lot of Barney Fifes....
