The police response in Uvalde, Texas has become a major scandal due to the slow response of the officers. The actor is back in his hometown, where he met with families and children who were affected by the massacre. Looks like he is with U.S. Congressman Tony Gonzalez, who posted some pics of their time together. Shortly after the news broke, Matt posted a lengthy message online calling for action and change on gun laws in the country. There are doggos being trotted around town that are specifically aimed at making people feel better. The K-9 Comfort Dogs are making their rounds in Uvalde. The community desperately needs calm and healing, but there are more important matters at hand, like figuring out why Uvalde-area cops who were on the scene quickly waited so long to engage the shooter. The director of the Texas Dept. of Public Safety said that the commanding officer made the wrong decision that day and ordered everyone to not approach. Pedro Arredondo, the police chief of the Uvalde School District, thought there was nobody left in the room the man had locked himself in. Kids were calling for help. Border Patrol agents eventually showed up and were told to stand down, but they went in anyway and killed the man. It was too late. There are reports of parents trying to run into the school to get their children, only to be cuffed and held by the cops. There are going to be several lawsuits filed against the City and/or County in the coming months in light of the clearly bungled approach.
