I don’t believe anything the government says. I read about half the article, and stopped. It was so full of bull shit, I couldn’t read any more.

More fear porn, overreaction and sensationalism, IMHO.

Beeler's wife Noelle told the Post that the officers' actions were 'understandable during these times,' adding that it 'does sounds suspicious.'
