Just like during a wedding: āIf anyone knows something that should keep this man and this prison cell from parting ways, please speak up now or forever hold your peace.ā

The irony is that the video was āleakedā by one of the murdererās co conspirators, thinking that it would clear them since it clearly showed the black man not obeying orders during a citizensā arrest.

Follow-up on White House coronavirus testing:
We were discussing that thereās no way that Trump or his cronies put up with the discomfort of frequent nasal swabbing for the PCR test. Which means they are doing the serological (blood) antibody test. Which can take 10-14 days to show positive after active infection.

That was a well one fight.
