Judge jury executioner
Yet an armed to the teeth cop can *claim* "I wuz soooo scered" of that unarmed black man or child or woman standing 20 feet away from me that I just had to shoot and kill him/her. I guess one person's *claim* of fear holds more weight than another's does. I wonder why?
Kinda better to pretend they are all valid...you know err on the cautious side when dealing w/ life or death situations
Sessions is a goddamn monster
