You're overthinking it, Uvalde is basically northern Mexico and the police act like your average Mexican cops. They operate by bribes and there is no incentive for them to risk dying without appropriate compensation.
That doesn't invalidate my post. If all the cops on the force are selfish and take bribes, then it was an equally cynical calculation that caused them to stand by while the shooter murdered the teaching staff.
To storm the building gained them nothing. To stand by and wait was safe.
The only difference is that all the good cops (if there ever were any) left long before Saint George met his end.
