@TomCottonAR Thanks Tom! I didn’t realize this. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the secessionist Democrats were all southern conservatives and that all southern conservatives, like you, are now Republicans

Cops are not on our side. They never will be. They do not belong in the labor movement. https://t.co/SL1smpx9ji
