Parents: Save the children!
Uvalde police: Not in my job description. We keep everyone who wants to save the children from doing so.
God: Will you die for Him?
Uvalde police: NO
For 75 or so minutes, the children took bullets to save the lives of the police.
Force the Uvalde police to honor the children as the heros who saved their lives. They'll love that. Child heros.
The Uvalde police didn't want to get shot. Neither did the children, but they ended up taking the shots instead of the police.
Parents of the dead children should honor their children as heros who saved the police.
