      Georgia opened up a massive military-compound like police training facility in a forest. Protesters were camped out nearby.

      Cops came and cleared out the camp and executed this man. They claim he shot at them and they returned fire. Forensics showed the victim had no gunshot residue on his hands. There is also apparently body camera footage but cops of course won’t release it.

        Georgia opened up a massive military-compound like police training facility in a forest. Protesters were camped out nearby.

        It’s not built yet, and hopefully never will be. The cops were attacking the protestors because they wanted, among other things, to clear the way for construction.

        Maybe a strange question but are there bad-cop murders in the US?

        I mean you could find out quite easily who the shooter was and considering the quite tense situation with police brutality it doesn’t seem far fetched that family or friends might want to get revenge.

        Are there cases where people try to take justice into their own hands?

      Our ruling

      Biden promised to expand the use of the Justice Department’s power to address systemic misconduct. During his administration, the Justice Department has conducted multiple in-depth investigations into police departments across the country, including a two-year investigation in Minneapolis that will likely lead to the city and police department entering a consent decree.

      We rate this Promise Kept.

      The problem is ongoing and definitely not something that will be corrected immediately. Your disingenuous comments aside, yes… vote blue. Biden might not be everyone’s most ideal candidate but the alternative is to either to elect criminals or to risk electing criminals.
