“Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that the Uvalde school shooter had a ‘mental health challenge’ and the state needed to “do a better job with mental health” — yet in April he slashed $211 million from the department that oversees mental health programs,” NBC News reports.
“In addition, Texas ranked last out of all 50 states and the District of Columbia for overall access to mental health care.”
Governor Abbott then put that money into law enforcement and better training for those along the border and in the nearby towns to help minimize illegal immigrants coming into the U.S. because he fear those illegals are criminals.
- Uvalde got a portion of that money for better training. Now it seems like it wasn't enough considering most in that police departments are cowards...to scare to push to fight.
Also, he ignores the fact that Texas is #1 in gun-related deaths and continues comparing Texas to cities like LA, Chicago, and NYC...forgetting he should be comparing Texas to other states for an apple to apple comparison.
