>>It’s also biased. If the man was “allegedly” hit with the stick, why wasn’t the other person “allegedly” shot by him?<<

I am constantly on the lookout for just this sort of bias, but missed this one. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

They were busy setting up a perimeter 500 feet away.

"Fresno has a wonderful sheriff. She wants to work with ICE. She sees what is happening to our country."

This was in the city so he probably got it through the police department. We have a police chief that also believes in the right to self-defense.
