I feel like that's probably the one thing a vehicle marketed as bullet-proof needs to be... like, actually bullet-proof.

Read the article again. It says they were donated by UP.FIT.

Where? All I see is,

The founder of UP FIT, the company that modified the Las Vegas police Cybertrucks, posted a hype video on Twitter showing off the work

That doesn't mean that they're the source of the money that paid for the trucks.

And you still have not addressed the fact that 👏I 👏did 👏not 👏say 👏it 👏was 👏muskrat.

ETA: The company is only mentioned three times in the article. The quote above, plus

According to the UP FIT Founder, the Las Vegas PD Cybertruck Doors Are Factory Stock

and

If the Las Vegas Sheriff and even the UP FIT founder thinks that Cybertrucks can stop bullets by default, there’s a reason for that.

So, no, it absolutely does NOT say

they were donated by UP.FIT.

You need to calm down. At no time did I attack you or anything, but clearly you're really worked up about it. It's really not worth arguing with someone so emotional. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

I'm perfectly calm. I'm not the one caught spreading misinformation.

You however seem to have serious reading comprehension skills and an inability to admit when you're wrong. I've given you multiple opportunities to simply say something like,

Whoops. I thought I was replying to a different comment. My bad.

with regard to you bringing muskrat into the conversation. You took none of them, presumably because admitting you made a mistake is outside your skill set.

Then I gave you the opportunity to show me exactly where in the article it backs up your claim of who the source of the donation was. I was, and still am, perfectly willing to accept that I overlooked that part. You can still point it out and I'll happily accept it.

But instead of simply copyingdand pasting the sentence from the article that backs up your claim, and being done with it, or simply acting like an adult and admitting you misunderstood the article, and being done with it, you sidestep the whole thing and childishly tell me to calm down.

I don't care who donated the money. That was never my point.

What I do care about is people spreading misinformation, and right now, that's you.
