Uvalde was not what most think. It was an absolute clusterfuck of communication, not so much cowardice. Several people in charge at once, conflicting orders, no one in charge, wait, you're not in charge?!
If someone, anyone, would have said, "Fuck this, fuck you, fuck you, fuck all y'all, I'm in command! ON ME!", and charged, it would have been over in 1 minute flat. Many of those cops were champing at the bit to get in there, but comms and leadership was a fucking mess.
If your heart can take it, this PBS documentary is excellent.
I can never watch it again, bit I wish anyone with an opinion on the event would give it a spin.
