Uvalde Texas – A Texas prosecutor filed a federal lawsuit seeking to force three U.S. Border Patrol agents who responded to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting to testify in the prosecution of the former school police chief, who is facing criminal charges over the slow law enforcement action at the massacre.
The lawsuit from Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell filed on May 9 claims the testimony from the three officers, two of whom were part of the tactical team that eventually broke into a classroom and killed the gunman, is vital to the case against former school district Police Chief Pete Arredondo, who faces multiple counts of child endangerment and abandonment.
According to the lawsuit, the agents gave written statements early in the state investigation into the shooting and the response from nearly 400 local, state and federal officers who waited more than an hour to breach the classroom where the gunman was located. Nineteen fourth-grade students and two teachers were killed, and 18 more people were injured, in one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.

In February 2024, Francis and his colleague, Deputy Charles Rivette, were transporting a prisoner from Oklahoma to Montgomery County when the crash happened. A crash report indicates Francis “failed to control speed” when he crashed into an 18-wheeler.
The impact caused Francis’ county-issued SUV to roll over. Rivette, who worked for the sheriff’s office for 18 years, was flung from the passenger’s seat and run over by another vehicle. The initial collision sparked a chain reaction that eventually involved a total of five vehicles.

* I would think that an 18 year veteran would have told his partner to slow down or pay attention to the road?
* There’s doubt that the deputy was not wearing a seat belt. Buckle up!

13 North Texas police officers disciplined for misconduct in prostitution investigation
Lewisville Texas – The Lewisville Police Department released the details of the internal affairs investigation in an announcement Friday. The statement by Police Chief Brook Rollins explained that the case involving the department’s street crimes unit was opened in June.
In October 2022, the unit had been assigned to look into allegations of prostitution at nine of Lewisville’s massage parlors and another in Flower Mound. The operation led to 32 criminal charges against 28 suspects across 23 cases.
The Denton County district attorney’s office dropped the charges after it was found that the undercover officers had “inappropriate contact” with the suspected prostitutes. The department’s internal investigation also confirmed that 13 of its members had “violated one or more Department directives or protocols.”
Though the police chief stated there was no evidence of sex between the officers and prostitution suspects, the extent of the “inappropriate contact” was unclear. Rollins also noted that after probable cause for arrest has been established, any continuing physical contact “is deemed inappropriate.”

Names of the Texas DPS Cowards That Allowed Children Be Murdered in Uvlade

So what does Texas Governor Greg Abbott do? He sends in 100 Texas DPS troopers in full riot gear and military fatigues to break up the protest.
When it comes to children the Texas DPS troopers are cowards when it comes to saving children. Put them in riot gear and they are ready to rush in and bust some heads open. Cowards!
“But what do you expect…. one AR-15 keeps 376 coward officers at bay.”

Uvalde police officers ‘exonerated’ for being cowards
UVALDE Texas – Families of children killed at Robb Elementary School walked out of a Uvalde City Council meeting Thursday as the city unveiled a report that recommended all Uvalde police officers be exonerated of wrongdoing in their response to the shooting.
The independent investigation commissioned by the City of Uvalde left families demanding accountability for officers who waited over an hour to intervene as a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers.
Former Austin Police Department detective Jesse Prado examined the actions of each Uvalde police officer as they responded to the deadliest school shooting in Texas history on May 24, 2022.
The report recommends that each police officer should be “exonerated,” stating in most of their cases: “No evidence of serious acts of misconduct in direct violation of Uvalde Police Department’s policies was found in his behavior in response to the incident. I find that (this officer) acted in good faith.”
The meeting often erupted into frustrated screaming, the crowd chanting “coward” directed toward Prado as he left the room shortly after his remarks. Pressure from the crowd brought him back, in which he spent about an hour listening to families lambast his report.
