If there’s one person who’s emerged from the Robb Elementary School shooting as the most incompetent, it’s Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Chief of Police Pete Arredondo. Arredondo has finally been put on administrative leave — the superintendent had said he’d wait until the investigation was complete before taking action, but decided to act due to the “lack of clarity” and the “unknown timing” of when he’d receive the results of the investigation.

It’s pretty concerning that the school superintendent hasn’t been briefed by the DPS on the investigation. McCraw spent a lot of time yesterday before the committee raising serious issues with the schools doors, windows, just security overall.

Just looks at this door to get inside the school. McCraw making a point you can shoot these windows out or break it and then simply turn the door handle to get inside. It would seem security at all the schools in Uvalde would need to be reevaluated. pic.twitter.com/s9YjTWBvtI

And just like the Uvalde police, this comes way too late.

With pay or without?

If he's getting paid then it's just a vacation. He's still going to receive benefits and lifetime pension.

Finally.

SWEET JESUS, that took forever.

That took almost as long as the cops who responded to the school.

Good start.

Don't mind the cover-up. Keep moving along.

I think he's looking at this as a paid vacation, unfortunately. That whole state and this whole "investigation" is such a slanted mess; he'll get his job back and probably some form of award for the incident.

He needs to resign ASAP.

It’s hard to believe he hasn’t resigned already from the shame.
