I agree with the sentiment in the headline, however, I don’t like the fact that Paul just accepts the witness’ story without any confirmation, and then goes and writes a story for Time magazine about it.
It smacks of pandering for “moderate” votes in his unannounced presidential campaign.
Actually, it's the "moderates" and the non-ACLU left along with a few ancient conservatives (O'Reilly watchers) who aren't aware of this issue. The badge worshippers are still the majority. I think it took a lot of guts for him to come out like this.
Now, watch the left and Peter Kings come after him.
Now that it’s been 5 days with no dirt dug up on the victim and verified that he had no criminal record, I find it increasingly difficult to believe that a young man who successfully avoided trouble his entire life and with plans to start college the following Monday suddenly became an aggressor and attacked the officer when told to get off the street.
Maybe he’s thinking along the same lines I am, that something is fishy in Ferguson.
