ABC News is reporting Tuesday that the Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Independent School District police force are no longer cooperating with an investigation into the Robb Elementary School shooting and the police department’s response. The investigation is being conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety. We didn’t even know the school district had its own police force, which makes the absence of a school resource officer even more maddening.
The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde ISD police force are no longer cooperating with the @TxDPS investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary and the state’s review of police response, multiple law enforcement sources told @ABC

The decision to stop cooperating occurred soon after Col. Steven McCraw held a news conference Friday during which he said the delayed police entry into the classroom was “the wrong decision” and contrary to protocol

Are their feelings hurt?
"Refusing to cooperate". Stunning really.

How many times did the Uvalde police tell people "If you don't cooperate, you'll look guilty and charges will be worse."

Just comply.

How do they even have this option?

They get to choose? How?

I'm kind of astounded that at least the Uvalde ISD chief (the commander on the scene & responsible for police security of the schools in town) hasn't just tendered his resignation and left the state. How does he think he has a future job there?

If they can cooperate with the killer, they can cooperate with investigators.

Ouch … brutal.
They lawyered up for sure. I guess they didn't believe that the investigators would do them a favor if they talk.

So, law enforcement is no longer cooperating with law enforcement.
It would be laughable if it wasn't so incredibly tragic.

That makes sense, they've made it more than clear that they don't consider it their job to participate meaningfully in law enforcement matters.

They really couldn’t look worse.
