Fun fact: 91 of these DPS riot cops stood outside the Uvalde Texas elementary school shooting.

DPS was one of various local and state law enforcement agencies that responded to the Robb Elementary shooting on May 24, 2022. Ninety-one DPS personnel were at the school when law enforcement waited over an hour before breaching the classroom where the gunman was.

Ah so if anyone with a gun showed up, they'd all run away.
