Hey my opinion...yup to all ya pecked.
Our lady justice uses political correctness, and a few tons of depleted Uranium on the other end of the beam.
This decay cannot and should not all be dumped on M division.
I’d say more on our civic nobility, our queens instructions from city hall, the feds hug a thug approach.
Remember folks we are shooting, looting and stabbing practice dummies for all the poor misunderstood free ranging felonious scumbags.
...kit up and act accordingly, head on a swivel...personal safety is personal.
State actors just mop up the mess, before the courts kick the bucket over.
Like perpetual motion!

Does anyone else notice how bad it is getting here? Our homicides per 100,000 people are higher than almost anywhere. The chance of ending up getting accidentally involved in a small community like ours is huge.
Come on Judges, let's have some true Justice. Don't let them just walk, that is why they are here. no consequences.
