it’s quite perplexing and suggests there are rogue elements at high levels of police departments. Consider the Jiminez “staged” event - folks in the Minnesota State Police would know if/whether that “State Patrol” was legit or not but the governor + other “authorities” told #FakeNews that the reporter had been released, etc., not that it wasn’t a real unit - so either a real “State Patrol” was involved in the staging of #FakeNews or deep state stooges worked with CNN to literally create and numerous people up the chain of command were in on it. Similarly now here in Buffalo depending on what actually happened (or didn’t) there.
