This will piss off the folks that define freedom as obeisance and submission to authority. If America was what he boats it is this kind of investigation would be supported by all. The Cops are around to do a job for us not on us and should welcome investigations that would help them improve doing that.

But that shit ain’t going to happen.

Because there is evidence of a particular problem.

There will be further investigations elsewhere as relevant evidence is gathered or collated or reviewed.

The DOJ is back.

Absolutely fan-fucking-tastic must watch smackdown.

This country doesn’t need reconciliation or a second “Reconstruction”. IT NEEDS A RECKONING.

Again what those type of people don’t get, or refuse to admit, that once everyone submits, then the power invested in authority will ratchet up another level. It may be POC this decade, then they’ll test out women, or the mentally ill, and the more they submit the more groups get the knee on their necks.

There’s a thin line between governing and ruling, as with policing. Policing other is great, when it’s not you they have their sight on.
