Words fail me...
What a frikkin’ bastard.
“Words fail me...”
___
This governor is stark,raving mad. Has he no idea what he has just done?
.
The Honorable Guv sort of skipped the investigation stage. And no mention of any need for a defense of the potential accused.
Will Nixon supply the Rope ?
What a flaming load.
How bout No?
The long term consequences of this short term strategy will cost Missouri dearly. What rational person would want to be a police officer in Missouri? Turn in your badges and let the state burn down.
Sacrifice an innocent cop for the pride of militant idiots.
Why is he talking prosecution when there’s been no charges filed as of yet?
He seems pretty sure that the fix is in for the Grand Jury to indict Wilson before it even meets
You have simply got to be kidding. There isn’t even a pretense anymore.
Police being Trained to Ignore Black Crime ,if you see Black drive on
So apparently this schmuck doesn’t believe in Innocent Til Proven guilty..Hey Nixon, since you hate cops so much, let’s see how long you last without those guards guarding your punk ass every second of the day
Nothing good ever comes from electing democRATS.
“You have offended my political sensibilities. For that, you shall be put into the Camps. And your family as well.”
We were going to Missouri later this year, but screw it… with this dangerously addle-minded boob at the helm, it isn't safe.
