UCISD just put Arredondo on admin leave. Earlier this week he was voted not to get an extended leave of absence by the city council cause he missed 3 consecutive meetings. So he’s considered to have vacated his seat. They are slowly throwing him under the bus and he’s gonna be the fall guy for everyone.

Now TX DPS is in the hot seat....
Correction necessary. Arredondo hasn’t vacated his city seat.
“Though he is a recently elected council member, Arredondo was not present at the meeting. Relatives of the victims asked that the City Council not approve Arredondo’s requested leave of absence from council meetings.
City leaders unanimously denied the leave of absence, which will result in Arredondo losing his District 3 seat if he misses three consecutive meetings.”
Uvalde schools police chief placed on leave amid fierce criticism of school shooting response
The move comes weeks after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary. Uvalde CISD police Chief Pete Arredondo, one of the first to respond, and state officials have provided differing stories about what happened inside the school.www.texastribune.org
At this point, I will be. I’ve seen enough weird shît go down in complex incidents to know that once you’ve burned your version of events in your mind, there’s no hard evidence in the world that can change your mind.Won't be surprised if we learn the soon-to-be-former chief eats his own gun over this…
Does anyone know why ISDs have their own police departments?
Why isn’t this the responsibility of the local sheriff or PD?
Is this the case in any states other than Texas?
Is this just so cop wannabes can wear spiffy uniforms?
Naw. If he was going to do that now, he would have gone in.Won't be surprised if we learn the soon-to-be-former chief eats his own gun over this. I don't think there'll be a lot of citizens shedding big tears if that happens, though I don't advocate for it. Seems pretty clear he's incompetent, and his honesty is questionable at this point. TCOLE needs to investigate and strip his certifications if he's found to have violated the law or ethics policies. Never be a cop again. Take away his damn pension. Dude can try making a go of it in the private sector, maybe move to some jerk water town in Arkansas or Wyoming where no one will have ever heard of him.

If he felt responsible I’d probably agree, but he doesn’t seem to believe he’s the reason this all went bad.Won't be surprised if we learn the soon-to-be-former chief eats his own gun over this.

“McLaughlin lambasted McCraw for what he described as a selective release of information about the investigation, focusing on blaming local law enforcement and leaving out the role of McCraw’s agency during the shooting.
McLaughlin said none of the entities with information about the investigation into the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School — DPS, the Texas Legislature, the Uvalde County District Attorney’s office and the FBI — have briefed Uvalde city officials about their findings.”

The only thing I haven't heard, but wouldn't be surprised. It's Putin's fault!Yeah, the city mayor is pretty hot under the collar. Emphasis added below is mine.

“McCraw has continued to, whether you want to call it, lie, leak … mislead or misstate information in order to distance his own troopers and rangers from the response,” McLaughlin said Tuesday evening.
