The resignation announcement comes less than a week after the Uvalde City Council released the findings of the independent report it commissioned to investigate the actions of Uvalde police officers who responded to the May 24, 2022, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The investigation determined none of the initial five Uvalde police officers who responded to the shooting violated policy or committed serious acts of misconduct, which devastated and outraged victims’ families who attended the hearing.
Wouldn’t that encourage them to still be cops (so they have extra protections), which we wouldn’t want them to be?
since they can now simply retire/quit to escape consequences, it would deter that behavior. the expected result would be to remain in their post in order to face accountability.
