Shouldn't law enforcement in Uvalde be held legally liable for their inaction, incompetence and cowardice?

The video tells it all... the lies that have been told have all been exposed now!

Yeap but that won't happen.

Who will arrest them, their friends and coworkers?

Who will prosecute them, the lawyers who they work with every day?

Who would convict them, the judges they work with daily to screw people over?

Who would pass the legislation to stop this stupid shit of theirs, the politicians who protect them and make them harder to hold to account?

I think dereliction of duty is a thing. Such a terrible situation that seems like it was preventable.

100%. The mayor, police chief, and all police that stood around should be fired.

However, the supreme court ruled that police do not have a legal obligation to protect you.

Another reason to keep the 2A

There will be a complete investigation but I expect people will just be allowed ot resign and there will be no additional punishment. It is a more complicated situation than you think.

Thanks for the MHO😎

They should be. This is a great reason to get rid of qualified immunity.

[jshm2]

Nope as it's their training and chain of command that has let them down.

Supreme Court has already ruled that the police do not have a legal duty to act to save your life.

[SmokinAces2000]

But they can take your life whenever they choose

[animesenpai]

Also not true

[SmokinAces2000]

They can shoot you for running away but then turn around and say that they have no legal obligation to save your life

[animesenpai]

Well police are nowhere near perfect of vast majority of police interactions do not end with people getting shot. Being an extremist on police behavior and tactics is just as bad as being a trump tard or extreme liberal like most things there is a middle ground

[SmokinAces2000]

I’ll agree to disagree but nice to have a thoughtful conversation

[Asker]

Don't see a middle ground in this specific situation.

[In_Trance]

good luck with that
