I'm pretty sure that's NOT how you do a redemption arc, Uvalde PD

Angeli Gomez, a farmworker from Uvalde, Texas, was handcuffed by police officers as she tried to run into Robb Elementary School during the May 24 shooting, which resulted in the deaths of 19 students and two teachers.

Gomez persuaded Uvalde law enforcement officers to release her, then jumped over the school fence, sprinted inside the school, and safely pulled both of her children from their classrooms.

Since then, Gomez has been critical of law enforcement officials and their delayed response time to the shooting in multiple media interviews.

She told News 4 that she's been noticing local police cars outside her home since she spoke out about what happened. (And reading on further in the article is a description of a threat over the telephone)

Miss Gomez doesn't have an AR15, does that explain the sudden jump in Uvalde cop confidence?
