I'm sure they'll "solve" this case 10,000,000 times faster than they did with John Wiley Price, scumbag black racist Dallas County Commissioner.

Largely peaceful?

Does that include looting?

Every time I hear John Lewis, my upbringing forces me to limit my comment about him to, “Bless his heart.” I was taught to deal kindly with those we now call “challenged.”

The called in the military to quell the Detoilet riots in the 60’s, didn’t work out too well for the rioters.
