“Go in there! Go in there!” nearby women shouted at the officers soon after the attack began, said Juan Carranza, 24, who saw the scene from outside his house, across the street from Robb Elementary School in the close-knit town of Uvalde. Carranza said the officers did not go in.

Javier Cazares, whose fourth grade daughter, Jacklyn Cazares, was killed in the attack, said he raced to the school when he heard about the shooting, arriving while police were still gathered outside the building.
Upset that police were not moving in, he raised the idea of charging into the school with several other bystanders.
“Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to,” he said. “More could have been done.”
“They were unprepared,” he added.

Carranza said the officers should have entered the school sooner.
“There were more of them. There was just one of him,” he said.

The Uvalde police

were doing crowd control on anguished parents instead of storming the damn school. https://t.co/iUHhWizU9R
Also note: 40% of the municipal budget is spent on the Police Department in Uvalde.
What is the purpose of police again? Oh yeah to enforce property law and a decayed class/caste system. That was their purpose when the first public police departments were created in the 19th century and always will be their purpose.
