One of the most heartbreaking details we learned from Uvadle is that the kids were being quiet because that’s what they’d been trained to do. You hear the earliest cops to arrive repeatedly telling each other there must not be kids in those classrooms because they didn’t hear any crying.
Active shooter training at work was mostly about how there’s nothing much you can do so just don’t scare any cops who might arrive by screaming or crying.
Re: the cops from uvalde, the uniform code of military justice — military law — classifies cowardice in the face of the enemy (a species of “misbehavior before the enemy”) as a capital crime.
If the cops were in the real military instead of kosplay kommandos they’d be pleading down the charges
