Yesterday at the Kenosha press conference, when the police chef was speaking the Kenosha

Sheriff had a smirk on his face

I had a very bad feeling about him.

This is the person who is suppossed to be conducting an independent investigation

Reading this article from Huffington Post, confirms my feeling when a video from from 2018 surfaced with him saying the following:

"“I’m to the point where I think society has to come to a threshold where there are some people that aren’t worth saving,” Beth said at the time. “We need to build warehouses to put these people into it and lock them away for the rest of their lives.”

“Let’s put them in jail,” he added. “Let’s stop them from, truly, at least some of these males, going out and getting 10 other women pregnant and having small children. Let’s put them away. At some point, we have to stop being politically correct. I don’t care what race, I don’t care how old they are. If there’s a threshold that they cross. These people have to be warehoused, no recreational time in jails. We put them away for the rest of their lives so the rest of us can be better.”

They need to bring people from outside the state to do an independent investigation. The law enforcement authorities in Kenosha cannot be trusted

Anyone who thinks their law enforcement won’t reflect who they’re beholden to for their election is seriously mistaken. And in the wrong communities, you end up with nuts like this guy, and there will be trouble.

I also sent boycott letters to the Fux Ruse advertisers on Fucker Carlson's show. I doubt it will do any good but if I can't march I can still complain and boycott....makes me feel better for 10 whole minutes.

of the people, he's using his dog whistles about. I've heard black people only described by racist whites in just the manner he's coding his words in this rant. And he's some kind of sheriff

It is out of the county sheriff's hands. But his words indicate he is a racist.

After Biden gets in he needs to be investigated by the Justice Dept.
