After Uvalde, Texas Stuffed Schools Full of Cops. They Brutalized Students.

In the wake of the devastating Uvalde school shooting, the state of Texas made a bold move to increase security measures in schools across the state. The decision to flood schools with police officers was seen as a desperate attempt to prevent future tragedies, but a new investigation has revealed a disturbing pattern of violence and brutality inflicted by these very same officers on students.
