Why does anyone or anything need to “go in”? There are plenty of other ways to deal with these situations instead of pretending to be Seal Team Six.

  Dead bystanders is usually considered poor form.

    Tell that to the Uvalde police department. Police are concerned with their own lives. They have no duty to protect anybody else’s lives

      That's a fixable problem. Police could have a legally mandated ethics code similar to lawyers and fiduciary duty. I do believe, ethically speaking, Uvalde officers should be criminally charged. There's no legal basis of course.

        You're correct, there is no legal basis. In fact, the police have a supreme court ruling which affirms that the police has no legal duty or responsibility to protect anyone. Even when they're given roles that would imply the responsibility (such as serving in a school). Could we hold police more accountable? Potentially. Will we? Based on historical evidence, no. And without that accountability, this is just another deadly weapon, one they can and will (again, based on historical evidence) use with impunity.
