By LEO’s I mean in this case. One would think with all the bad press and resulting lawsuits, word would come down from above to cool it with some bright boys not needing to be told, but...

IDK the answer but I think these incidents are being looked for and reported more and that more of a stink is being made by the press instead of just the victims now if nothing else.

not solving the gun control problem, but came close. That he could do something right now but doesn't. That mass shootings have increased since he's been president. Now I'm paranoid that's going to be a thing. Blaming Democrats for not stopping something.

The news is getting back to the way it was before the pandemic. It used to be whatever extreme weather was going on, the latest mass shooting, news on police shooting black people or the trial of a police officer shooting a black person, then something the president did.
