Well that only took about two years too long.

Daniel Rodriguez, the police chief of Uvalde, Texas, announced his resignation on Tuesday and said it will take effect on April 6.

"The City of Uvalde is grateful to Chief Rodriguez for his 26 years of service to our community and we wish him the best as he pursues new career opportunities," Uvalde Mayor Cody Smith said in a statement.

Assistant Chief of Police Homer Delgado will serve as interim chief of police while Uvalde's mayor and city manager "search for a full-time replacement in consultation with the City Council," Smith said.

We used to live in a time when officers would fall on their own swords rather than face dishonor.

We now live in a time where you keep your taxpayer job even when your men sat around listening to a psycho shoot kids.

The news comes less than a week after the Uvalde City Council released the findings of the independent report it commissioned to investigate the actions of Uvalde police officers who responded to the May 24, 2022, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The investigation determined none of the initial five Uvalde police officers who responded to the shooting violated policy or committed serious acts of misconduct, which devastated and outraged victims' families who attended the hearing.

Outrage is an understatement.

"Acting in good faith" is the new "I was just following orders."

Just a reminder of how bad the leadership of Daniel Rodriguez leadership was, even if he wasn't on site that day:

Nineteen students and two teachers were killed in the massacre. Responders waited some 77 minutes at the scene before breaching a classroom and killing the gunman.

Another reaction from a local community member that underlines the anger in the city:

[STRONG LANGUAGE WARNING]

Maybe the most shameful thing I've ever seen from law enforcement in America in my entire life.

Excuses don't cut it.
