It’s not just Texas. It seems like every time there are lives on the line the cops wait outside for the killing to stop. It happened in the Cheshire CT murders. The police waited outside the house while the mother was raped and murdered. They did nothing while the young girl was raped and then burned alive with her sister. Every American should know that the cops won’t save them. They only come in to clean up what’s left.
Agreed, my remark was aimed at the Uvalde police, not Texans per se.
Friends and I of a satiric bent have making up parodies since high school, such as Men of Harlech, while watching the movie Zulu:
Men of Harlem,
stop your stealing,
we can see your white teeth gleaming... etc.
or of Gilbert & Sullivan:
I am the very model
of a modern urban criminal,
with convictions civil,
juvenile and criminal...
Do I recall one or two stories about people drowning and the local Leo or fire teams would not go in because they hadn’t passed that certification? In both cases bystanders jumped in and rescue the victim.
