    Uvalde School District has only about 4000 students, K-12. 2500 or more of these students are going to be below the age of 12. There are 8 distinct schools, probably 300 or so teachers all told. Yet, somehow there are 5 "police officers", including a "detective" and a Chief of Police

    What would an average day look like for these guys? I bet on AVERAGE absolutely nothing happens. On AVERAGE they all hang out and fuck around and play browser games. Occasionally they may go arrest a student for vandalism or marijuana possession, but that's probably about it.

    My point is they're security guards making 8x the salary. This guy was "Chief of Police" like the custodian who orders supplies is "Head Custodian".

    I believe him when he says he didn't know he was in charge. Who the fuck in the same situation, would assume they'd be the person to order regular PD, Border Patrol, and FBI around during a crisis like that? It's a cop out from the other agencies.

      Arredondo has tried to defend his actions, telling the Texas Tribune that he didn’t consider himself the commander in charge of operations and that he assumed someone else had taken control of the law enforcement response.

      'I didn't know I was in charge' might be the dumbest fucking lie you could tell, holy shit.

          No doubt, I guess being seen as criminally fucking stupid and inept isn't as bad as 'child murderer'.

            You all really underestimate how dumb your average :thumb-cop: is. 20% of LE are true believer:frothingfash: the other 80% are people who were too dumb to end up in worthwhile occupations, so they became cops.

        "I was just following orders"

        You were the one giving the orders

        "I didn't know I was the one giving orders"
