Hmm, what might they hide when they already look fucking terrible? Inquisitive minds would like to know.

News organizations, including the Tribune and ProPublica, sued several local and state governmental bodies more than two years ago for access to records related to the shooting. The city settled with the new organizations, agreeing to provide records that had been requested under the state’s Public Information Act, including body camera footage from all responding officers. Three other government agencies — the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District and the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office — continue fighting not to release any records.

Uhhhh…so what do those last three have that they don’t want anyone to see?

Probably racism

I wouldn't be surprised.

Remember when that police officer was speeding and killed a Indian woman, and said her life had limited value.

Maybe joking about the situation.

In the case that it was "just a joke", the fact that his reaction to killing an innocent person was a callous, racist, joke still makes me want him to never be allowed to be a cop. That is the very minimum he should be removed from.
