    Hopefully that doesn’t last for long. A LOT of attitudes changed overnight in Uvalde after the shooting happened. I’ve never seen a community turn on their police force with such unity before. I really hope they carry that momentum to the ballot boxes.

      They won’t because voting isn’t done with your head. They’ll just vote for another “tough on crime” Republican and kick out the old police chief.
