"Someone tell me what to do": what the kids know and the cops don't

On this day when we mourn yet two more shootings in Texas and in Nevada, and Senate Republicans again blocked an effort to reinstate an assault weapons ban, I would urge you to take time to read "Someone tell me what to do" which is the work of ProPublica, the Texas Tribune, and PBS Frontline on the police response to the Uvalde shootings. As the article opens:

When confronted with a mass shooter, the children and teachers of Uvalde knew what to do.
Many officers did not.

The part that was most heartbreaking to me: because the students were quiet, as they have been trained to be, the officers didn't think that anyone was in the classrooms.

Frontline has also a documentary that they've put together. You can read about the reporting here.
