Yes, being uncertain or waiting for back-up when you’re out-gunned and alone is one thing, but Uvalde was unforgivable (which I assume you’re alluding to).
These Lone Star, Thin Blue Line dipshits with Punisher patches and stuff cowering in a corner while an unarmed mom wriggles out of handcuffs, hops the fence into the school and saves her kid.

People: “We have to do something about shool shootings!”
Conservatives: “It’s not a gun issue it’s a mental health issue”.
People: “Ok let’s do something about mental health!”.
Conservatives: “It’s not a mental health issue, it’s an office training issue.”
People: “Ok lets train officers better!”
Conservatives: “… no …”
Ad infinitum.
Of course the officer’s mistake here was being the only office on site doing nothing, rather than having 400 officers on site doing nothing.
