No story here. Just move along. Political correctness trumps lives lost. Why do we have these agencies if the information they find is ignored, on purpose? Who’s side are the feds on? Ours, or theirs?

I vaguely remember some Cu— err lady headed that meeting.
Can’t remember the —errrr ladies name.
They had an unarmed, scared, wounded teenage boy totally surrounded by the top crack paramilitary police.
The FBI, DHS, ATF, Local Police, State Troopers and even University Police had their weapons trained on the punk.
Then he just got into a car and drove away and they could not find him...
A CITIZEN found him. Outside of their perimeter.
"Which way did he go, which way did he go?"
