Given that they prevented others from going in as well, their actions are pretty much consistent with someone wanting to increase casualties as much as possible.
Hmm.
Or- the FedGov ordered them to stand down, in the interest of not interfering with a Federal operation.
Not sure exactly at this point, which is more likely, or which is more heinous.
A Uvalde mother says she was handcuffed while urging law enforcement officials to enter Robb Elementary School during Tuesday’s shooting, according to the Wall Street Journal. Angeli Rose Gomez, who has a second- and third-grader at the school, says that she was one of several parents begging police to breach the building. After a few minutes of increasingly urgent goading, Gomez alleges that federal marshals handcuffed her because she was intervening in an active investigation. Gomez said she tried to convince Uvalde police officers that she knew to convince the marshals to take the cuffs off, all while the scene around her grew increasingly hectic. She claims she even saw one desperate father get pepper-sprayed. When her cuffs were finally removed, Gomez claims that she jumped the school fence and dashed inside to get her children. Videos are circulating on social media that show family members, some of whom can be heard yelling at law enforcement officials, trying to enter Robb Elementary School, where 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos spent nearly an hour before eventually being shot dead by a Border Patrol agent.

The performance of law enforcement during the mass school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday appears to have been even worse than previously known.
Early reporting that a school resource officer confronted alleged killer Salvador Ramos and engaged him in a gunfight was erroneous. At a press conference on Thursday, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Chris Olivarez clarified that no such confrontation took place and became increasingly irritated as journalists pressed him to explain the source of the misinformation.
Ramos entered through an unlocked door and faced no opposition until the police arrived several minutes later. He then became barricaded in a classroom, and the police failed to gain access and neutralize him for the next hour. It is likely that most of his victims—perhaps all of them—died in that classroom.
As that hour elapsed, desperately frightened parents arrived outside the school and were prevented from entering by law enforcement. Video footage obtained by The New York Times shows parents frantically begging the police to either enter the school and intervene or get out of the way so that they could rescue their kids themselves. Their pleas were in vain.
In fact, it took the police so long to get the situation under control that one mother who was 40 miles away when she learned about the shooting had enough time to drive to the school. According to The Wall Street Journal, police arrested and handcuffed her to prevent her from trying to save her children:

Cops Handcuffed, Arrested a Uvalde Mom for Trying To Rescue Her Kids
Why did it take an hour for the police to stop alleged killer Salvador Ramos?
ROBBY SOAVE | 5.26.2022
Counter-point: Why do the proven liars in the US MSMBS want us to believe the local police "stood down" for an hour?
Because they can't deny it because it happened in public with people around recording it on their cell phones?
Remember folks, most mass shootings are false flags in an effort to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
What is the "it"? Has anyone confirmed that this is not just Sandy Hook 2.0?
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
But has anyone confirmed that the cops stood down for an hour? Yes. Lots of eye witnesses.
Are the Officers OK ?
