Armored vehicles are utilized to protect those that protect us. They are not weaponized for war. Rather than put our protector's lives in jeopardy by cutting their much needed and under funding, why not just allocate funding for school supplies. Perhaps utilize the state lottery like other states supposedly do for education?
