Why would they face charges? They’re under no obligation to protect the public.
Some people still don’t understand that justice is cash flow.

That’s actually a common misconception. Protect and serve was never the police motto, it was a slogan written on the side of los angeles police cruisers back in black-and-white television days. People picked it up through shows like Adam-12 and Dragnet. LAPD (no PD in america that I know of, actually) no longer write that slogan on any of their items, specifically to avoid the impression that they might be supposed to protect and serve if they don’t want to.
Edit: I’m told that some unspecified police departments do keep this “motto” on their vehicles, despite not being beholden to or, generally speaking, acting upon it.
Nope, saw it on black-and-white in my own town just two days ago. It was in quotes. “To Protect And Serve”

Police departments aren’t that smart. They are blatantly and openly willing to lie to the public on a daily basis. Why would they care about how that “slogan” makes them look when they’re willing to publicly shelter murderers and kill over a thousand citizens a year?
For some reference.

It’s unclear whether Uvalde’s District Attorney plans to present evidence to grand jurors that some victims would have survived had medical responders started treatment earlier.
But one year later, Mitchell’s office told Escott it was “moving in a different direction” and no longer wanted the analysis to be performed.
The biggest error, the report stated, was that officers wrongly treated the situation as a barricaded subject incident instead of an active shooter, despite evidence to the contrary.
In that study, researchers reported that 16 of the 49 victims had potentially survivable wounds had they received faster medical care and made it to a hospital within an hour.
Even if the prosecution could prove victims would have survived with a faster police response, they will also have to demonstrate that the officers acted either “recklessly” or “negligently” through their inaction.
