Uvalde Police Response Deemed 'Abject Failure'
Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, gave testimony today on live video. His blunt assessment listing multiple failures is disturbing. Every parent should WATCH:

This is why I think everybody needs to train in self protection. You can't depend on another group to save you, whether it is the police, government or even family in some cases. You have to be able to protect yourself.
