Uvalde Police Department received a grant from Abbott to purchase Level 4 Body Armor.

Just more to add on to the horror and disgust and urgency for change.

"Abbott", "I was misinformed". Bull crap. Spinning the narrative from the start.

Uvalde Police Department

August 1, 2018 ·

The Uvalde Police Department is pleased to announce that we have completed the process, and been awarded grant funds through the Office of the Governor to outfit EVERY Uvalde Police Officer with Level 4 body armor. This important piece of legislation provided funding to equip police officers with body armor rated to stop rifle rounds. In 2017, Senate Bill 12 was passed into law. The $23 million Rifle-Resistant Body Armor Grants were awarded to 453 jurisdictions around the state. Thanks goes out to those who supported Senate Bill 12 and everyone who supports those who work to keep us safe. #BlueLivesMatter 🚔

How about the training the school officers went through a few months ago for attacks?
