It was vital that the media report on the fact that Joe Biden was tested for Parkinson's disease. Here's why the media is right to ignore the fact that a clearly incapacitated Donald Trump disappears for four days each month only to reappear with severe bruising on his hand.

Part of the context here is that Bucks County recently elected an anti-ICE sheriff to replace their pro-ICE sheriff. The actions of Quakertown police (which is separate) are best understood as a gang that sees its power to intimidate slipping and so has initiated a violent suppression campaign.
