Bill Bratton, a former commissioner of the New York City Police Department, on Sunday criticized police officers' response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, this week. Above, a police officer walks past the makeshift memorial for the shooting victims outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Saturday."With the benefit of hindsight, from where I'm sitting now, of course it was not the right decision.
"There were plenty of officers to do what needed to be done, with one exception, is that the incident commander inside believed he needed more equipment and more officers to do a tactical breach at that time," he added. In his interview on Sunday, Bratton said there's"been so much misinformation that was put out as factual that the erosion of public trust, certainly in Texas and its police forces—I've never seen anything like it in all my years of policing."
"I have so much anger at the moment about how mishandled it's been, let alone compounding the grief of those families that lost those young children to be hearing that some of those lives might have been saved, but a wrong decision was made by apparently a police chief with a six-person police force that was put in charge of the response to this horrendous incident," Bratton said."It's mind-boggling and frustrating.
