    If you're a believer it can be taken literally. If not a believer it can be taken metaphorically to represent there's something wrong here. Either way it fits.

    During that befuddled~~kill site? hostage site? kill site? hostage site?~~if not cowardly waiting period, there is no telling how many children bled out because no one came to stop the bleeding.

    "When The Children Cry"

    Little child
    Dry your crying eyes
    How can I explain
    The fear you feel inside
    'Cause you were born
    Into this evil world
    Where man is killing man
    And no one knows just why

    What have we become
    Just look what we have done
    All that we destroyed
    You must build again

    When the children cry
    Let them know we tried
    'Cause when the children sing
    Then the new world begins

    Little child
    You must show the way
    To a better day
    For all the young
    'Cause you were born
    For the world to see
    That we all can live
    With love and peace

    No more presidents
    And all the wars will end
    One united world
    Under God

    When the children cry
    Let them know we tried
    'Cause when the children sing
    Then the new world begins

    What have we become
    Just look what we have done
    All that we destroyed
    You must build again

    No more presidents
    And all the wars will end
    One united world
    Under God

    When the children cry
    Let them know we tried
    'Cause when the children fight
    Let them know it ain't right
    When the children pray
    Let them know the way
    'Cause when the children sing
    Then the new world begins

    Questions over the Uvalde Police Department’s response to a school shooting carried out on Tuesday continue to rage. Multiple reports have painted a disturbing picture of both incompetence and egregious decision-making, with over a dozen officers standing by while the shooter killed 19 children. Perhaps even worse, after a tactical team from the Border Patrol arrived, they were also told to stand down before eventually disobeying the order and neutralizing the threat.
    The training is clear.
    The instructions to officers aren’t vague. They directly say that the first priority is to confront the killer immediately, neutralize them, and then render aid. Nowhere does it say to hang back for an hour waiting on a tactical team before then preventing said tactical team from entering. Further, it notes that while not waiting for backup, even a single officer is expected to do his duty. This backs up what I’ve said in my prior critiques. Namely, in an active shooter situation, especially at a school with children, you play until the whistle and let the chips fall. If that results in an officer being killed, so be it. That’s the job, and that’s the expectation, from the Uvalde PD’s own stated protocols.
