Gov. Greg Abbott says he was misled about poor police response to Uvalde shooting
“I am livid about what happened,” the governor said at a tense press conference in Uvalde. “The information I was given turned out, in part, to be inaccurate, and I am absolutely livid about that.”

he's a good 'ol boy and he was out to protect his good ol' boy buddies. no one was supposed to find out, but the parents got the video and info out there of the police response. this needs a massive Jan. 6th type investigation into every move all the LEOs made that day
