Ex-WV police chief violently attacked a woman over an expired registration. Though innocent, she spent five days in jail before the charge was dismissed. He resigned and was decertified.

JD Vance should ask himself why he works directly under and supports a man who is a convicted rapist and is accused of raping children and writes to a convicted child trafficker "may every day be another wonderful secret." NO secret, Trump is a pedophile.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.
