Cops lie. In paperwork. Under oath in court. To media. To public. To coverup misconduct & murder. To scare us. Confuse. Mislead. We all know this. So why do journalists & show writers rely on cops as sources? Why do we believe them when they tell us freedom doesn’t work?

Only U.S. and the Philippines allow for-profit cash bail. Every other society has decided that for-profit corporations shouldn't decide who is jailed and who is separated from their children. Think about what it says about cops, prosecutors, and judges that they still do it here.
We’re very sorry to hear about Brett Kavanaugh's current troubles. We offer our thoughts and prayers for the entire Kavanaugh family during this difficult period. Now is not the right time to have a policy debate, so let’s not politicize the issue.
@greg16676935420@DeezeFi Deeze I voted for coffee but I’d like to change my vote to nuts as well. Could you please reflect that in the final tally. Thanks.
