Matthew McConaughey and some friendly pooches have touched down in Uvalde, TX -- but their presence alone won't fix what's become a major scandal on the slow police response.
-- representing Texas' 23rd district, encompassing Uvalde -- who posted some pics of their time together and thanked MMC.on gun laws in the country, saying this phenomenon is"an epidemic we can control."BTW, Matt's not the only one in town offering support ... there are some doggos being trotted around town that are specifically aimed at making people feel better. The LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs are also making the rounds in Uvalde ... letting folks pet 'em to calm their nerves.
Not to knock any of these efforts to bring about calm and healing -- which this community desperately needs -- 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. "It was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision, period," Texas DPS says of the police's decision to wait to breach the classroom in Uvalde.
