LAPD expects people to buy that during a training exercise they “accidentally” beat a cop (who was investigating 4 other cops for sexual assault) to death so brutally that his spine was broken in 3 places. It has “suicide by 6 shots to the back of head” energy.

People who keep saying Puerto Rico should become a state to receive more help from the federal government must be forgetting about Jackson, Mississippi and the Navy poisoning the water in Hawai’i and the federal response to Katrina. The states have been abandoned, too.
