Yesterday, the Atlanta Black Star<\/a> had a story which horrified me – not that that is unusual – but this one is a bit out of the ordinary. Stories of abusive cops assaulting people of color are, sadly, still a dime a dozen. But when the abusive cop is running for Congress – that puts it into a different category. The ABS doesn’t mention the District number, but it is the one currently served by Democrat Pat Ryan, so it’s the 18th, in the Hudson Valley. This is his official site. If you can spare anything for an election other than the Presidential one<\/a>, this would be one to consider.<\/p>\n

I have alluded to this before – and I don’t want anyone to forget it. As Joyce Vance<\/a> says, “History is full of failed coups that were preludes to successful ones.” So we must take it seriously and use every means at our disposal.<\/p>\n

Posted without comment<\/a>. I’m sorry. But I just can’t.<\/p>\n

Seems like absolutely no one except Mary Trump<\/a> wants to talk about this. I saw somewhere that the statute of limitations had expired, since the incident occurred in 2015.I don’t know what the Federal statute of limitations is on taking a bribe. But I’m pretty sure that there’s no statute of limitations in a Federal RICO case.<\/p>\n
