@Joe… you Pro-Hamas Progressives really crack me up. You couldn’t me any more disconnected from reality if you took a Rubbermaid trash can, cut it in half, and tried to bull rush a LEO brigade using it as a shield… lmao at those Biden Brown Shirt Brats.
Actually, most “normal” people want to live in a safe city, don’t want their cars and homes broken into, don’t want to be assaulted while on a walk, don’t want to listen to gun shots ringing out all through the night, and are tired of the daily body count.
Most “normal” people realize that there are bad apples in every profession… and most “normal” people don’t paint the whole world rotten because of them.
Most “normal” people want Law and Order.
Anti-progressive crowd making a mistake by doubling down on TPD as an election issue. most normal people don’t want to pay $130 million for a police station and have serious questions about record on crime and credibility
@TONY-Exactly!!
Congratulations to All seniors signing letters of intent. Way to Go!
If you REALLY care about your Cause (Protesting against the Israel-Hamas War) and REALLY want your protest to mean something then, take it to GAZA and protest there. Your protests mean nothing here, in the Safe Places of America.
