I would like to have been a fly on the wall for some meetings in other police departments after the Uvalde Coward Incident. I wonder if there was a bunch of “I’d better not catch you clowns acting like this, the last thing we need is for people to start thinking we are scared and we can he ignored”.
I wonder what tactics were suggested in those meetings.
“My squad car wouldn’t start, so I couldn’t get there for hours,” or after a school shooting is reported, radio HQ and say, “Sorry, I’m not feeling well, gotta go home early today.”
