Here come all the chuds backing the blue 🤓 cops should have the training and maturity to not always have situations end this way. But that will never happen because all that’s required for the job is a high school education and the pay is atrocious.
Hopefully there is body cam on this incident based on what some users are stating!
@laytonuser67 you don’t know what happened so you probably shouldn’t say that. Your the problem.
