That detective that you interviewed is full of shit. I feel the shit seeping out if the speakers, no lie. Request the body cam from him since he taped it. Should be public record, right?

Don’t want to make it about race, then proceeds to do just that. Her dad sold drugs and was a snitch, not a race issue here.
