Brett Cross, a parent of a victim from the Uvalde school shooting, was arrested at a County Commissioners' meeting after berating a former Uvalde police officer, accusing him of failing to protect the children during the tragedy. Cross's arrest followed his use of expletives while addressing the former police chief, emphasizing the loss of his child in the shooting. Cross responded to being told to stop using expletives by highlighting the death of his child and criticizing the officials' audacity to reprimand him. The incident has sparked further criticism of the Uvalde police, who have been accused of a cover-up and criticized for their response time during the shooting, where over 40 children and teachers were shot, resulting in 21 deaths, and the police stood in the hall for over an hour. The arrest has drawn attention from various media outlets and has led to discussions about the actions of the Uvalde police and the ongoing investigation into the shooting. Commissioner Ronald Garza was contacted regarding Cross's arrest.
