Uvalde Schools' Police Chief Resigns From City CouncilThe Uvalde school district’s police chief has stepped down from his position in the City Council just weeks after being sworn in following allegations that he erred in his response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School Cool. Where are the charges? Wait, he was on the City Council and also the Police Chief. That’s very hick town. “Erred in his response” is an interesting way of saying “let children he was supposed to protect die through cowardice and incompetence”

Being a coward and telling his squad to hold back & letting innocent children die B. Thinking this will all pass over and nobody would remember C. Lying to the media and flip-flopping around his stories
