The pro-mass immigration Koch brothers’ network of billionaire, donor-class organizations is readying to financially back Democrats, so long as they promise to support amnesty for illegal aliens and vote to advance free trade at all costs.

The disturbing video below shows just how ridiculous police interactions in the ostensible land of the free have become as eight cops surrounded a black man and nearly shot him—for picking up trash in his own front yard. Now, the cop who unlawfully detained the innocent man has resigned to avoid accountability. Continue reading “Body Cam Shows 8 Cops Nearly Kill Innocent Student—For Picking Up Trash in His Own Yard”
