Tone down the pearl clutching for a second.
I'm asking you honestly, no hostility, just be honest here for a second.
Do you recognize that conservative voters have for forever been putting in power Republican legislatures, governors, city administrators, DAs, judges who ended up creating a massive web of laws, ordinances, regulations, judicial precedents that systematically eliminated almost all police accountability to the point where getting a cop fired for committing a
felony on camera is an uphill battle? Let alone expecting any criminal and civil liability.
This as been discussed and explained repeatedly. The Uvalde cops, all of them, are legally fully protected from any liability civil or criminal.
Like, look...this is mostly unrelated to this specific incident, but just now the conservative SCOTUS effectively gave full exemption to federal agents from the 4th amendment. Like the 4th amendment no longer protects US citizens from search and seizure as long as the search and seizure is being done by a federal agent. It's insane.

And this happened because conservative voters afraid of immigrants and of abortions voted for politicians who created a supreme court that is on a mission to completely dismantle 70 worth years of civil rights protections.
Honestly, tell me with a straight face that conservative voters are not responsible for this complete and total lack of accountability?
The issue people have with the conservative pearl clutching now is that - You guys made this system. You created this.
You could always go - Fuck! We were wrong. Let's get some accountability rolling. But what we get instead is more money thrown at the failed system, then when the next black person gets shot in his own bed by the cops or choked to death in street you guys pass another set of rules and laws and whatnot that further reduces accountability.
Conservatives don't grasp the fact the accountability that protects the people they don't like also protects them when the cops finally fail or target them.
