John,
It has been confirmed in a bombshell report by the Texas House committee that 376 officers from various agencies — from local cops to federal officers — were on the scene during the shooting.
And yet, ONE man with a gun was still able to kill 19 children and 2 teachers.
For 77 minutes, many of them played crowd control while body cam footage saw others fumbling with keys they didn’t need, letting unlocked doors stand in the way.
That’s because they refused to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety. It’s an unforgivable abomination of HORRIBLE policing.
This was a failure at ALL LEVELS and so far the only punishment has been paid leave for the police chief.
The Uvalde DA, Christina Mitchell Busbee, is currently investigating the situation and we need your help to make sure that there are consequences for the police inaction that led to 21 deaths.
The report described officers sent to help taking a "lackadaisical approach" and noted “multiple systemic failures.” They were careless, lazy, and lacked any determination or urgency to help those children.
In this moment, we need the DA to act. She has the power to advance this investigation and make sure every single officer who stood by and failed the people of Uvalde is held fully accountable for their inaction.
But we need to pack on the pressure to be sure she holds them to the highest standards in her investigation.
In solidarity,
Real Justice
