It turns out that police have no obligation to protect the public. This has been ruled in numerous court cases, from state courts to the Supreme Court. The latest was in the Parkland School shooting. The court ruled that the police had no obligation to attempt to save the lives of the students.
The police have no legal liability for the dead students and teachers at Uvalde.
