How did reporter @sophiegreenleaf verify the claim that an armed man showed up to Ragina Gray's family home after her booking photo was published? The story says her mother, Lucinda Fisher, immediately called police.

If the police are so trustworthy, how come they haven’t found out who attacked you or who showed up at your house last year?

Ah yes, the police swear the person they were harassing never called in harassment.
