a Uvalde Police Officer on scene at the crash site observed the suspect carrying a rifle outside the west hall entry. The officer, armed with a rifle, asked his supervisor for permission to shoot the suspect. However, the supervisor either did not hear or responded too late.
A product of the risk adversion in the police culture from todays defund narrative.
I can honestly understand if someone develops that aversion. When they do, it's time to move into a different profession.
