So you are okay with ten year old girls getting raped and molested and police officers being shot dead for serving a lawful warrant?

And again with more dumb bullshit....
There was an entire newspaper series on the child molestation charges, and they were going to serve a warrant on a compound that had over a hundred well armed men. Of course they had publicity officer there.
This is stunning Brett. If there is a newspaper series - multiple articles - written in the local newspaper about a house down the street from you molesting ten year old girls, wouldn't you DEMAND the police investigate?
