There are some very fine officers here, but far to many &#8220;serve and protect&#8221; only criminal Fuhrer Trump* and the Republican Reich, including Republican terrorists. I have now seen video of the shooting. The victim, or someone near him, popped a can of mace and the shots came from within the cloud.
