Interesting who Newsweek considers trustworthy. The DailyMail never conducted an interview with the officer’s mother. Julia may be unprofessional & deceitful, but collins_ink is a flat out LIAR.

YOU know it's NO. Yet you still write this as if it were true. SUCM!

I guess getting hit on the head with a fire extinguisher during the riot doesn't count as being killed by rioters by some people.

Utterly irresponsible headline, Newsweek. Have you learned nothing over the past four years?

would he have died if they aren't there? nope.
