Let's review the (reported) performance of the Uvalde Police and CBP response team on Tuesday:

- Waited 35-60 minutes before entering school while kids bled out, wasting golden hour

- Tazed / arrested parents begging them to go in, and attempting to rescue their kids themselves
- When they did enter the school, they went to rescue their own kids first rather than deal with the shooter

- Proved incapable of opening a locked door to the room where the shooter was, so they had a school employee do it for them with a key
- Armed school resource officer failed to prevent shooter from entering school

- Uvalde SWAT team had done a walkthrough of the school in Feb to prepare for just such a situation

- Outside observers saying Uvalde police ignored every lesson learned since Columbine
- When the police did enter the classroom, they failed to neutralize the shooter first, and as a result another child died due to their incompetence

- Initially lied about the timeline

- Police is 40% of Uvalde's budget

And the best part, because of the Supreme Court decision in Castle Rock v. Gonzales (a 2005 decision delivered by Scalia), no matter how incompetent, cowardly, or negligent police are, they cannot be held accountable.

One more:

- Initial reports by police that they pursued and pinned down the shooter in a classroom were false. In reality, the shooter had plenty of time, and locked himself inside a classroom.
