Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief of Police speaks, giving\u00a0 a completely different take on Uvalde<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So maybe our new School Security Plan – in addition to keeping outside doors locked and having an armed resource officer on the scene – includes changing the locks?\u00a0 There ought to be one master key to open every door and the cops ought to have access to it (how about storing it in a lock-box on scene, like the fire department does). <\/p>\n

I have trouble understanding why it was possible to bust windows in neighboring classrooms to evacuate those children, but not to bust the window in this classroom to shoot the gunman. <\/p>\n

I have trouble understanding why firemen couldn’t use the jaws of life to open the classroom door.<\/p>\n

I have trouble understanding why everybody stood around outside waiting for an hour as the Chief waited in the classroom corridor until the Border Patrol eventually stormed the shooter. <\/p>\n

I have trouble understanding why it took the Chief so many days to tell his side of the story.<\/p>\n

Unless . . . <\/p>\n

. . . he lawyered up and this is the best story they could concoct.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Yes, I am that cynical. <\/p>\n

Joe Doakes<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

By this point, if you’re not cynical, you’re not paying attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, yeah – what if the door wasn’t locked at all<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
