Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) raised furore Saturday by defending the various law enforcement agencies involved in responding to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

The director of the Texas Department of Public Safety admitted Friday that it was the “wrong decision” to wait. And in an unusual move, the Justice Department has said it will investigate the law enforcement response.

But according to Cornyn, people are being too harsh on the decision makers whose inaction almost certainly resulted in more deaths.

“The second guessing and finger pointing among state and local law enforcement is destructive, distracting, and unfair,” he tweeted Saturday. “Complex scenarios require split second decisions. Easy to criticize with 20-20 hindsight.”

1. Isn't that why you have those training sessions like the one in March?

So you don't have to think everything through, so you are ready with responses, so everyone knows most of what they need to know before any incident? Isn't that what training sessions are for?

2. Good. Give him hell. It took 78 minutes before someone made that 'split second' decision.

And it was Border Patrol who ignored the locals and finally got the job done. In the meantime, at least one child who might have lived bled to death. There's nothing too harsh or unfair about pointing that out and questioning why.

3. People didn't wait until after with that grand 20/20 hindsight, they saw the messed up of it

in actual real time. That clear and evident.

Children facing AR15s, screaming, bullets shooting. Cops standing their weaponed and armored afraid of being shot.

4. Why would anybody expect any better of Cornyn?
