The thug that shot Terrence Crutcher lied about many aspects of the killing, and then was acquitted of charges.
Thugs assumed Crutcher was dangerous before they approached him. They didn't bother to notice that he was unarmed and had his hands up. Unconscious racism may have played a role, and surely the assumption did too. That is no excuse for what they did.
Here's an idea: put up posters showing that thug, in uniform, with the caption "Armed, Dangerous Liar." Each word can be proved.
In January, Flynn convinced Obama's national security advisor to put off a plan to arm the Syrian Kurds to capture Raqqa. Flynn had taken pay from Turkey during 2016.
The troll has since reinstated the plan.
Democratic congresscritters wrote to Pence in November to warn him about Flynn's employment by Turkey.
Pence claimed he didn't know about this.
US journalists denounce the practice of imprisoning journalists, which was expanded under Dubya and Obama and is getting worse under the troll.
The Republican governor of Maine has prohibited posting signs to lead people to the Katahdin Woods and Waters national monument, which he wants to eliminate.
He hopes to keep visitors away so he can claim people don't want to go there.
This reminds me of how New Jersey officials (surely directed by the Governor Christy) punished a Democratic mayor by closing lanes on the George Washington Bridge. (The governor says he didn't tell his aides to do this. If you believe that, maybe he will offer to sell you that bridge.)
This shows the scheming and dishonest attitude of today's Republican Party. They will degrade any institutions they get their hands on, and use it to spread lies, merely to deny their rivals a chance to point at any sort of success.
