Uvalde mayor accuses state of leaking records to make local police look bad

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin spoke during a City Council meeting on Tuesday. McLaughlin accused state authorities of selectively releasing information about their investigation into the Uvalde shooting last month to disparage local law enforcement., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

“McCraw has continued to, whether you want to call it, lie, leak … mislead or misstate information in order to distance his own troopers and rangers from the response,” McLaughlin said Tuesday evening. The special meeting was held in part to discuss whether to grant a leave of absence for Pete Arredondo, the newly elected City Council member who also serves as the chief of police of the city’s school district and has been criticized for his role in the law enforcement response to the shooting. Local leaders unanimously denied giving him the leave of absence from future council meetings.

Scapegoat law enforcement!? There is video. There are 911 calls. There are 21 dead, 19 being children. Scapegoat!! No. Now the mayor and his law enforcement is backpedaling. They don’t know where to hide. And accusing the state is a cop out.

The only way to make pigs look worse is put lipstick on them ! 🖤
