There is a war being waged against police. When will we stand up and hold the terrorist groups who encourage this violence accountable?
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) July 17, 2016
So when is the JustUs Department going to investigate radical groups like BLM and prosecute those who incite this violence?
I guess they’re too busy dredging up imaginary charges of racism against law enforcement.
God help us all.
The pace of these terrible events is increasing and neither the current President or the two candidates are morally or temperamentally fitted to lead us. Prepare for chaos. God help us all indeed.
I spoke with the Louisiana Governor about the tragic police shooting. We agreed that as a nation we must unite to end these heinous crimes.
