Demonstration of communication and decision making in a command structure:
Decision to stand down goes out and the officers comply, that decision was communicated.
Decision to stand down is withheld and the officers proceed on previous orders, the decision was not communicated.
Pertinent authorities botch information relay to higher-ups, including Governor Abbott, communication of information and decision making was not communicated properly, leading to Governor Abbott relaying incorrect or false information to the public, leading to a collapse in communication.
Communication and decision-making go hand in hand regardless of how funny you think that sounds.
This isn't or wasn't Naval Maritime protocol during the
sinking of the Titanic.Or Women and Children FIRST.
It is much more dire.The human condition put to the only
test that matters.Making Sure Children { and woman teachers } are
spared needless slaughter.There is only one sure fire way to
accomplish that.Bum rush at all costs this Lone Gunman.
This even exceeds War protocol.Where Grown men either sign-up
or get drafted to Fight.Sometimes managing to hide in Fox Holes
of what pissed-off Hitler.When he witnessed fist hand numerous
times german Officers { many Jewish } who strut around barking out
and demanding orders.Then when the Bullets started flying {skirmishes }
these same German Officers could be found Hiding alongside large trees
or on the ground besides huge stumps.
Then after a skirmish { small battle } ended these same cocky,bossy
German Officers went right back to giving marching orders.
Pretty much how Senator Chuck Schumer acts.
