They have to budget accordingly. Federal grants are grants, and not an annual privilege. The revoking of grants is to punish them. They know it, they have to comply or live with it. Let each officer buy their own body armor.
Doing this was ABSOLUTELY OKEY-DOKEYwhen Carter made states go to a 55mph speed limit and 21/0.8 BAC alcohol limits.
Your comment makes no sense. It is a state program, not a federal program. It has nothing to do with the county budgeting. No grant was “revoked” — the country had the opportunity to APPLY for a grant to obtain the upgraded vests, but county officials decided not to do so because the libtard sheriff would not comply with the terms of the grant.
Why should deputies have to buy their own body armor to be safer on their dangerous jobs when the stoopid county libtards could have provided the armor with a normal, sensible policy as adopted all over Texas? It seems like you are rationalizing the outrageous misbehavior of the Leftards.
