"I'm just a patrol officer. I couldn't [take charge]"

I dunno. Have you seen "The Rookie" because that show teaches me that beat patrol cops are capable of taking on serial killers. Beat cops can take on organized crime. Beat cops can take down criminal conspiracies on their vacations. Heck patrol cops take down the cartel.

Mostly solid documentary that is if anything too passive. Too clinical. And even with that if you can watch this and come away with anything but utter disgust for the law enforcement. You're a psychopath. It's called "Inside the Uvalde Response" but it should be "Inside the Uvalde Police Response" because it really is only focused on what the police did. There's a whole other hour long documentary missing about what was happening at the time. And that's not even going to the post incident response which is barely hinted at here. From Abbott gladhanding the police response to how many of them escape with zero jail time for utterly failing these children. It doesn't touch of the kids the police got killed by asking them to shout out their status. About the only really interesting points in this doc are that a) the school shooter training is WILD. I went to high school in a post columbine world but a pre-9/11 one. We didn't have shooter drills. Though school shootings were a reality. Heck my high school ended up becoming a national story because of a school shooting. But the takeaway is that the kids were so quiet the police just assumed the school was empty. I mean that say something about these kids. b) the documentary ends with a police response that is most intriguing. I really wanted to hear from that dude what he thought went wrong in the immediate aftermath when he wasn't aware he was being recorded.
