https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2024/03/07/takeaways-from-independent-expert-investigative-report-on-robb-elementary-shooting/UVALDE, Texas During a special meeting on Thursday, Austin-area investigator Jesse Prado presented his Independent Expert Investigative Report into the Uvalde Police Departments response to the Robb Elementary shooting on May 24, 2022.
Then-mayor Don McLaughlin announced the investigation in July 2022. The investigation was supposed to take 60 to 90 days to complete. Nineteen months later, it finally is.
The report cost the city more than $100,000.
The council asked Prado, among other things, if there was any specific wrongdoing by any Uvalde police officers. Prado said the department did not commit any wrongdoing or violate any policy in its response to the elementary school.
Instead, Prado placed the blame on communication issues, crowds outside the school and officers not having the correct keys on hand.

But the enforcers have been exonerated yea for them I guess. Their conscience has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
I wish everyone one of those slaughtered individuals collectively haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Chicken Shits every last one of them including the yaw hoo who blamed everything but the enforcers.

(1,676 posts)Just like the Uvalde cops.
He hasn't come up with a suitable lie yet to justify exonerating all those cowards cops that let those innocent kids die.
The excuses given are just the expected scapegoating and victim blaming.

He has a history of these types of reports backing cops.
Plus, the sonofabitch sat through the entire meeting with his hat on. In case you dont know what that means, it is total disrespect for a man to keep his hat on during a legal proceeding in which he is involved. Total asshole covering for total cowards.
