DPS Dodges Transparency in Uvalde—Again

By reinstating Texas Ranger Christopher Ryan Kindell in early August, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director Steve McCraw seems to have once and for all sidestepped a public reckoning over his agency’s role in the botched law enforcement response to the deadly May 24, 2022, shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

McCraw fired Kindell more than a year ago, accusing him of failing to meet department standards in responding to the active shooter who killed 19 students and two teachers in 2022.

But as long as Kindell’s appeal of his termination was ongoing—the ranger has been on paid leave pending the outcome—McCraw faced the specter of a public hearing and potential scrutiny of high-ranking DPS officials, some of whom the U.S. Department of Justice says also violated state policy on the day of the shooting.

On August 2, McCraw suddenly—and without hearing Kindell’s appeal—reversed the firing and sent the ranger back to work.

In doing so, the longtime head of DPS avoided having to explain his original decision in an open meeting before the governor-appointed Public Safety Commission, which oversees the state police.

Meanwhile, DPS is appealing a judge’s order requiring the state police to release records related to the shooting.

“The agonizing experience this blame shifting has been for the victims’ families in Uvalde is unacceptable,” former Rangers Chief Chance Collins, who said he believes Kindell should never have been fired in the first place, wrote in a text message to the Texas Observer.

“Accountability is one of the core values of DPS and it is time the Public Safety Commission held everyone accountable that contributed to this unjustified action and unnecessary anguish.”

DPS didn’t respond to questions for this story.

A department spokesperson shared with reporters a letter McCraw sent Kindell, in which the director cites a Uvalde grand jury’s decision not to indict the ranger as a factor for his reinstatement.

The Robb Elementary memorial in Uvalde in July 2022 (Gus Bova)

“This is very confusing,” former DPS Commander Patrick O’Burke told the Observer.

“We’re going to take responsibility, but we’re not responsible. We’re going to punish a couple people, but we’re not going to punish them. We’re not going to release the information to let others reach that conclusion.”

Ninety-one DPS personnel, including two captains and a major, were among the nearly 400 law enforcement officials who responded to the 2022 shooting in Uvalde. McCraw and Governor Greg Abbott initially praised their response as brave and effective.

As details leaked out in the ensuing days and months, however, state officials scrambled to explain why the shooter was left in a classroom with wounded and dying children and teachers while police officers huddled in the hallway.

A host of reports in the wake of the shooting have described a chaotic scene as law enforcement agents swarmed the school but waited more than an hour to confront the shooter, even as 911 dispatchers relayed urgent pleas from children inside the classrooms.

Just days after the shooting, McCraw falsely accused a teacher of leaving a door propped open, permitting the shooter to enter the school, and placed blame for law enforcement failures on former Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo.

But by August 2022, McCraw promised an internal review, telling CNN: “Every one of our officers will undergo scrutiny by the DA and an internal investigation—just because they didn’t violate the law, doesn’t mean they acted appropriately based on our policy.”

McCraw eventually told DPS’ inspector general to investigate seven officials, according to records the agency provided the Observer in response to requests under the Texas Public Information Act.

Four of them were exonerated, and their names have not been made public.

In August 2022, former Trooper Crimson Elizondo, who had been suspended pending the outcome of her investigation, resigned.

Two months later, McCraw sent a termination letter to former DPS Sergeant Juan Maldonado, who retired rather than fight his firing.

Also in fall 2022, DPS suspended Kindell, the only Ranger assigned to Uvalde, telling him he was under investigation for his response to the shooting.

The Rangers are a division of the state police who primarily serve as major crimes investigators in rural areas of Texas where law enforcement doesn’t have a lot of resources or training.

Kindell’s suspension created problems for criminal cases unrelated to the Robb shooting that he’d investigated for 38th Judicial District Attorney Christina Mitchell, the prosecutor for Uvalde and Real counties.

Mitchell pushed DPS for an explanation, and in September 2022 DPS Inspector General Phillip Ayala wrote Mitchell a letter trying to assuage her concerns.

Ayala wrote that the “investigation does not include any apparent misconduct or matters related to Ranger Kindell’s integrity.”

But one of Ayala’s own investigators seemed to contradict that a month later by filing a complaint against Kindell accusing the Ranger of incompetence, according to records obtained by the Observer.

At the time, Mitchell, who didn’t respond to questions for this story, said she was concerned DPS hadn’t followed its own policies when it suspended Kindell.

McCraw fired Kindell last January based on the recommendation of the same inspector general who’d vouched for the ranger’s integrity a few months prior.

The ranger’s response to the shooting “did not conform to department standards,” McCraw wrote in the termination letter.

“As a Texas Ranger, you are expected to overcome conflicting information and accurately assess the tactical situation. … You took no steps to influence the law enforcement response toward an active shooter posture.”

Under DPS policy, Kindell had 10 days to request a meeting with McCraw to challenge his termination.

If McCraw decided to go through with the firing after that meeting, Kindell was entitled to a hearing before the Public Safety Commission.

The hearing would be open to the public, and the details of DPS’s response to the shooting would likely be put under a microscope in front of reporters.

Kindell requested the meeting, but instead of granting the meeting and hearing his appeal, McCraw essentially kept the ranger on ice for 19 months.

DPS blamed Mitchell, whose grand jury investigation dragged on until this June, for the hearing’s delay.

In January, DPS said McCraw would not hear Kindell’s appeal “until the Uvalde County District Attorney has finished her investigation and the grand jury has made a decision on criminal charges.”

But McCraw had other reasons to be wary of a hearing before the Public Safety Commission.

The Rangers’ top brass ultimately answers to McCraw, but records obtained by the Observer show that last year the division’s leaders objected to Kindell’s firing.

In a public hearing before the commissioners who oversee him—and who just last year gave him a $45,000 annual raise—McCraw was likely to have his decision-making called into question by law enforcement officers who are revered by many state leaders like lawmen in a western novel.

Collins, the former Ranger chief, said he would have testified on Kindell’s behalf.

“Terminating an employee and publicly humiliating them for two years should … be based upon facts of a competent investigation rather than concerns of political optics,” said Collins, who retired in September 2022.

“As a proud DPS retiree, I can say the even deeper concern here is that when times are tough and consistency in leadership is the healing expectation of our citizens and employees, it is missing at DPS.”

A public airing of the events of May 24, 2022, might have also drawn attention to the actions of high-ranking DPS personnel.

The federal Justice Department review of the response to the shooting reported that no law enforcement official, including Kindell—the report only identifies him as “Ranger 1” but the description of his actions makes his identity clear—“effectively questioned the … lack of urgency” by police on the scene.

The Justice Department also criticized other, unnamed DPS “senior leaders” on scene for not setting up a command post to coordinate between the multiple agencies responding to the shooting.

Immediately after police, led by a specialized unit of the federal Border Patrol, finally killed the shooter, top state police officials added to the confusion, according to the report.

“[T]he TXDPS regional director, and some other officers, walked past the law enforcement officers bringing injured and deceased victims out of the classrooms and entered classrooms 111 and 112 with no identifiable purpose or action, therefore compromising the crime scene,” the DOJ report states, adding that the DPS officials who wandered through the crime scene violated agency policy by not filing a report afterward.

“How did you single out the people you singled out for administrative punishment, because wouldn’t others be just as culpable?” asked O’Burke, the former DPS commander.

“For whatever policies they say the ranger violated, wouldn’t others have done the same thing? I don’t know how you thread that needle.”

In June, the Uvalde grand jury handed up felony child endangerment charges against only two officers:

Arredondo and former UCISD Officer Adrian Gonzales.

This gave McCraw an out.

Despite the DPS chief’s statement nearly two years ago that his employees would be held to departmental standards regardless of whether their conduct constituted a criminal violation, McCraw ultimately cited the lack of criminal charges for why he reversed his decision to fire Kindell.

Mitchell had “reviewed all law enforcement officers who responded to the attack on Robb Elementary School, and no action was taken on officers employed by the Texas Department of Public Safety,” McCraw wrote in his letter to Kindell. “Further, she has requested that you be reinstated to your former position as a Texas Ranger in Uvalde County.”

That’s not how internal disciplinary proceedings work, said O’Burke. Kindell “could have done absolutely nothing criminally wrong and still done something wrong administratively,” O’Burke said.

“Kindell, and this is my opinion, was made to be a scapegoat,” former Uvalde mayor Don McLaughlin, who earlier this year co-authored a report tracking McCraw’s contradictory statements and accusing him of trying to escape responsibility, told the Observer.

“[But] I’m not condoning any law enforcement officer that was there, because in my honest opinion, there was a failure of leadership across the board.”

By avoiding a public hearing, which might have examined the decision-making of high-ranking DPS officials, McLaughlin said, McCraw is preventing the type of deep dive that might actually shed light on what went wrong.

“Why not lay your cards on the table?” asked McLaughlin, who’s now running for the Texas House as a Republican. “If you made mistakes—you know, in my opinion, there’s no question mistakes were made that day—own up to them. These families deserve answers. This community deserves answers, and to still withhold information to me is wrong.”

In his letter reversing the firing, McCraw also wrote that he “decided to alter my preliminary decision based on a review of the completed Texas Ranger criminal investigation,” which formed the basis for Mitchell’s criminal cases, and “an internal review of the actions of Texas Department of Public Safety Officers who responded to the attack.”

That leaves the impression that McCraw overrode the DPS inspector general’s conclusion based, at least in part, on an investigation by Kindell’s fellow rangers.

“It doesn’t matter who investigates what,” said Jesse Rizo, whose niece Jackie Cazares was killed in the shooting and who now serves on the Uvalde school board.

“To me, what they don’t want is a tarnished record, a tarnished badge. Not only that, there’s not that much anger and movement anymore. … They know that it’s dying down.”

Rizo said that he hopes the eventual release of additional records by the agencies that responded to the shooting—the City of Uvalde was recently the first to abandon the fight to keep documents secret—as well as public trials of Arredondo and Gonzales will shed more light on what happened more than two years ago.

“Hopefully you’ll be able to hear the story at the trial about why there was such a massive failure,” Rizo said. “I think justice is coming. It just takes a little bit.”

EL ENSAYO COMO INSTRUMENTO DE REGENERACIÓN

Christopher Britt Arredondo

Desde Montaigne y Bacon, el ensayo viene siendo el género literario mejor adaptado a la expresión de los ideales intelectuales, morales, y políticos de la modernidad. En Montaigne, la modernidad toma la forma epistemológica del escepticismo. Psicológicamente propone una subjetividad reflexiva, autónoma, y soberana. En Bacon, este escepticismo auto-reflexivo se vuelve programático. En nombre de la “prudencia intelectual” Bacon lleva a cabo una severa crítica de los llamados “ídolos de la mente” y de las falsedades, equivocaciones y confusiones que generan. A su vez, propone un nuevo método riguroso –un nuevo órgano para pensar y conocer la verdad: la razón inductiva. Gracias a este método inductivo y experimental los hombres modernos habían de librarse de la ignorancia, conocer las leyes de la naturaleza y, por medio de su nueva ciencia y tecnología, convertirse en los amos de la naturaleza y de los demás hombres no modernizados.

Gigantohierax suarezi

By Scott Reid

Etymology: Giant Hawk

First Described By: Arredondo y Arredondo, 2002.

Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Maniraptoromorpha, Maniraptoriformes, Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves, Eumaniraptora, Averaptora, Avialae, Euavialae, Avebrevicauda, Pygostaylia, Ornithothoraces, Euornithes, Ornithuromorpha, Ornithurae, Neornithes, Neognathae, Neoaves, Inopinaves, Telluraves, Accipitrimorphae, Accipitriformes, Accipitridae

Status: Extinct

Time and Place: Within the last 10,000 years, in the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary period. 

Gigantohierax is known entirely from cave deposits in Cuba.

Physical Description: One of the largest species of hawks, Gigantohierax is also notable for its robust body type compared to smaller sized hawks - which would have allowed it to support its own bulk while hunting for prey. It is known primarily from parts of the thighs and rest of the leg. Its thigh bone flared out at the ends, unlike in other closely related hawks; and the bone was twisted to boot, indicating more extensive musculature and potentially more time spent on the ground. It even had more robust toe claws than close relatives at the time. However, given that hawks are aerial predators, it seems unlikely that Gigantohierax would have relied entirely on ground hunting; instead, it was probably more facultative in locomotion than its close relatives - though without wing remains, it’s hard to say either way. It is one of the largest hawks known, about twice as large as the living Great Black Hawk. This would probably have necessitated changes in its habits compared to other hawks, even on the island of Cuba.

Diet: Mainly animals such as lizards, snakes, rodents, rabbits, birds, and other small animals found on the ground; usually caught alive. Also used its large size to catch bigger animals.

Behavior: Probably similar to other hawks, but with more time spent on the ground than its close relatives. Predatory bird, utilizing keen eyesight and extended flight to catch food such as mammals, reptiles, and birds, including other examples of island gigantism in Cuba at the time. Probably diurnal.

Ecosystem: Cuba in the Holocene has essentially remained similar in climate, with tropical weather patterns and generally wet weather due to its position in the Caribbean. Recovering from the recent ice age, animals on Cuba in the early Holocene would have had more variation in temperature; however, the bulk of the epoch would have seen fairly consistent tropical weather patterns. Many animals are known from Cuba today and throughout the Holocene, though there are notable examples of island gigantism in dinosaurs that are worth mentioning - the Cuban Cave Rail, Giant Crab-Hawk, Titan Hawk, the Cuban Giant Owl, and Rivero’s Barn Owl are all known from the island at the time, and in all cases but the first would also have been large predatory birds in the environment.

Other: Gigantohierax, dubbed unofficially as the Cuban Giant-Hawk, is an example of island gigantism in birds during the last Ice Age - many species of birds, when isolated in island environments, were able to grow large in situations when usually they would have stayed small due to mammal competitors. Gigantohierax is an example of this phenomenon; unfortunately, most of these examples of island gigantism went extinct due to the climate change following the last ice age, as well as human activity; this probably also lead to the extinction of this species as well.

The Heritage Foundation and its experts have been tireless in its efforts to fight critical race theory.

It’s not often you get singled out for attack in a resolution by one of the nation’s biggest unions. But in its zeal to shove critical race theory into schools, the National Education Association singled out The Heritage Foundation as “one of the well-funded organizations” that is committing “attacks on anti-racist teachers.”   

The resolution calls on the NEA to conduct “research” into Heritage and other such groups—a polite way of saying it plans to smear critics of CRT. We’re not intimidated and we won’t be backing away from our effective strategy to educate Americans about the dangers of CRT.  

Heritage’s Lindsey Burke, director of the Center for Education Policy, and Mike Gonzalez, the Angeles T. Arredondo E Pluribus Unum senior fellow, responded to the NEA’s attack with a promise to “continue to take on ideas like CRT.” They said in a statement:  

Heritage is proud of its comprehensive work in this field, which has always focused on explaining the facts behind critical race theory and how it is infecting all aspects of our everyday life. We stand with parents, educators, lawmakers, and other Americans who want children to learn about all of America’s history, without indoctrinating them in a toxic narrative that undermines student unity and achievement or implementing CRT’s racially divisive principles in ways that violate the Civil Rights Act and the Constitution. Efforts to treat students or educators differently based upon their skin color not only betray fundamental principles, but they also violate federal civil rights laws and other statutes.    

Only a few days later, the NEA scrubbed this resolution from its website after considerable pushback from conservative organizations, including Heritage. The NEA’s original resolution, along with the fallout, earned major��coverage in multiple news outlets.   

Before it was removed from the NEA’s website, the resolution stated:  

NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked...  

  The attacks on anti-racist teachers are increasing, coordinated by well-funded organizations such as the Heritage Foundation. We need to be better prepared to respond to these attacks so that our members can continue this important work.  

Critical race theory, or CRT, makes race the prism through which its proponents analyze all aspects of American life, categorizing individuals into groups of oppressors and victims. It is a philosophy that is infecting everything from politics and education to the workplace and the military. In the aftermath of the 2020 protests, CRT became the rallying cry of numerous organizations, businesses, and educators.   

  The Heritage Foundation has been tireless in its efforts to fight critical race theory and numerous Heritage experts have appeared in television interviews and published several reports and commentaries on the issue. 

Last year, Gonzalez co-authored a comprehensive Heritage report on the subject with Jonathan Butcher, the Will Skillman fellow in education. The report, “Critical Race Theory, the New Intolerance, and Its Grip on America,” is one of Heritage’s most-read publications. 

Since then, Gonzalez has crisscrossed the country to bring his research on critical race theory and identity politics to audiences eager to counter these left-wing ideas. He has briefed lawmakers in Louisiana, spoken at major conservative conferences, and counseled parents how to fight back against the left’s indoctrination of their kids. In addition, Gonzalez is a go-to resource for media outlets who want sage insight on the dangers of critical race theory. 

Gonzalez has also teamed up with Burke to expose colleges of education as a source of critical theory, an offshoot of CRT. 

Heritage also published a report by Christopher Rufo, one of CRT’s leading critics, warning of its implications. The report, “Critical Race Theory Would Not Solve Racial Inequality: It Would Deepen It,” documented how critical race theory seeks to undermine the foundations of American society and replace the constitutional system with a near-totalitarian “antiracist” bureaucracy. 

Rufo spoke out against the NEA’s latest effort to smear CRT critics, naming Gonzalez as an ally, and promising to counter those who are “ruining American education.” 

Heritage’s work is getting noticed. “The Morning Call” newsletter recently praised Rufo and Gonzalez for their leadership:

Rufo and Gonzales are, almost without question, the leaders of the campaign to push back against CRT, and their efforts are (almost) entirely cultural, not political. … Rufo and Gonzalez are neither ham-handed in their calls for state intervention nor quiet and sneaky. They have the luxury of not only being right on the facts, but also of knowing that what they are exposing is largely unknown but would be rejected by the majority of the American people.

Estotiland.

 Located on the Zeno map drawn sometime in the late 1390s or early 1400 it appeared on later maps such as the Ortelius map in 1570 (shown here) and on other charts as late as 1660. It was believed to be located somewhere around Labrador, Quebec, and Newfoundland as they appear on modern charts. According to the Zeno brothers of Venice who claimed they voyaged there circa 1390, Estotiland was discovered by European fishermen sometime earlier in the century. They found a land named "Estotiland" whose inhabitants traded with "Engroenelandt" which sounds suspiciously like "Greenland". The brothers said "The king of this country possessed books written in Latin, which he did not understand. The language that he spoke and his subjects shared no similarity to that of the Vikings." The Zeno Brothers claim they traveled there with another man they called "Zichnmi" who has been identified by some as Henry Sinclair. The year usually given for Sinclair's voyage to North America is 1396.

 Regarding its etymology, "estotiland" was a fishermen's term used to describe stockfish grounds, also known as baccalaos. In modern Spanish "estocafis" is a commercial term for stockfish. The word could also have something to do with harpooning whales. Note on the Ortelius map at the entrance to what is obviously the Gulf of St. Lawrence a reference to "baccalaos". 

 Considering its location in the far north and its supposed discovery by fishermen, remeber the words of Christopher Columbus when he traveled to a similar place in 1477 and said "Englishmen from Bristol go there to trade."

 Also interesting on the Ortelius map between Estotiland and what is obviously the Gulf of St. Lawrence is a large bay with several rivers emptying into it. One in particular is labeled "R. de Tormenta". I could find no corresponding river on any map. However, I believe the bay is a primitive depiction of Ungava bay, which makes the River of Torment possibly Hudson Strait. Many places on that part of Ortelius map have names that are obviously Spanish or possibly Portuguese names that have been changed or lost, as there is little or no modern reference to them. 

Near the River of Torment is an inscription “TERRA COR TEREALIS”. After some thought I understood its meaning.  It should read “Tera Corte Realis” or the land of the Corte-Reals. The Corte-Reals were a family of Portuguese explorers who made several voyages of discovery in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Gaspar Corte-Real, with his father Joao Vaz and brother Miguel are believed to be some of the first Europeans to explore Newfoundland and other parts of Eastern Canada. The land was named for Joao Fernandes Lavrador, another Portuguese explorer who sailed there in 1498. The area is still known as Labrador. Upon arrival, the Corte-Reals found a land of pine trees, large rivers, and berries. 

 On the Ortelius Map, the River of Torment flows into “Baia de Medaus”. Though the meaning is unclear, that could translate to Bay of Berries. Perhaps Corte-Real saw the same vegetation Leif Erickson mistook for grapes when he named the land Vinland. Near the bay are more likely Portuguese names such as Caravielo (ship?), S. Maria and S. Marco (St. Mary and St. Mark), and S. Ioan (San Joan or St. John). These names merge into the more familiar French place names to the south but farther south two islands stand out, Dobretan and Arredondo.  While the meaning of Dobretan is unclear (it could mean “kind” or “benevolent”), Arredondo is Portuguese for “rounded”. Baia de los Condes, possibly meaning Cape of the Counts (as in the European title for nobility), is farther west and beyond that is C. de Iesus or the Cape of Jesus. These give way to more French names but even farther south near “Apalchen” (a corruption of Appalachia?) are C. de Arenas (Cape of Sand?), C. Doblado (Double Cape?), and C. de S. Ioan (Cape of St. John). 

Is it possible that in addition to the voyage of the Zeno Brothers, the Ortelius Map also records the discoveries of the Corte-Reals which later were lost?
