UVALDE, TexasResidents here expressed anger and frustration Thursday about the time it took for law enforcement to end an elementary-school shooting in which 19 children and two teachers died, as videos circulated on social media showing parents confronting police outside the building.
The police were doing nothing, said Angeli Rose Gomez, who after learning about the shooting drove 40 miles to Robb Elementary School, where her children are in second and third grade. They were just standing outside the fence. They werent going in there or running anywhere.
State officials have said that local police were at the school within a few minutes of the gunman entering the building and exchanged gunfire with him, but they were unable to gain access to a classroom where he barricaded himself, firing on officers.
Ms. Gomez, a farm supervisor, said that she was one of numerous parents who began encouragingfirst politely, and then with more urgencypolice and other law enforcement to enter the school. After a few minutes, she said, federal marshals approached her and put her in handcuffs, telling her she was being arrested for intervening in an active investigation.

Yep. It was enforcement theater, with no intention of protecting anyone but themselves.

They'd rather arrest parents trying to protect their children than mass shooters.
