While a number of police officers in Uvalde were too gutless to face down a shooter that was killing young kids at Robb Elementary, the cops are quick to get in the way of news crews working the story.

The San Antonio Express-News says that police from departments across Texas converge on Uvalde, officers have continued to intimidate, harass and impede journalists covering the aftermath of the second-deadliest K-12 school shooting ever in the United States.

Citing the privacy of victims’ families, some officers have ordered reporters off public sidewalks and used public safety vehicles to block journalists from taking photographs of funerals and burials. In some cases, police have threatened to arrest journalists for walking on public streets.

So, while the cops were too scared to do their job, they seem to have no problem trying to stop Journalists from doing theirs.
