The inaction and criminal negligence of the law enforcement officers responding the Robb Elementary shooting should be investigated and prosecute.

On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice released its comprehensive review of the deadly mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, 2022. Just as those elementary students were looking ahead to their summer break, 19 of them and two teachers were slaughtered. Thursday, more than 19 months later, the DOJ has concluded, in 600 pages of gut-wrenching detail, what many of us already knew. There was a “cascade of failures” before, during and after the tragedy.....
As summarized by NBC News, the DOJ report included disturbing findings that:
Poor coordination, training and execution of active shooter protocol contributed to a failure in law enforcement response.
Police officers were erroneously taught that “an active shooter event can easily morph into a hostage crisis.”
A lack of leadership led to a failure to recognize an active shooter situation and waiting too long to engage the gunman.
At least six separate instances of gunfire, as well as officer injuries and the presence of victims, should have prompted officers to take steps to “immediately stop the killing.”
Some families received incorrect information about whether their loved ones had survived, and others were notified of deaths by personnel not trained to deliver such traumatic news.
.....I don’t need any more information now. I can say with certainty that, if all the facts in the DOJ report are true, then, no, the shooter was not the only criminal there. Gupta said that “ … a lack of action by adults failed to protect children and their teachers.” Those who failed to protect those children and their teachers should be held accountable.
