I just heard that Alex's parents learned of his death when a reporter called. Then they saw the disgusting lies being

being spewed about him.
I just can't imagine the pain of learning of your child's death that way then turning on tv and seeing the govt slander him.
Tell me again how both sides are the same?
MAGA will be MAGA - At this point, I am not surprised by their cruelty and hate. It wasn't too long ago that people went into a public square and watched people being hanged and cheered it on.
Its the people who continue to insist that both sides are the same that really piss me off.

But the videos don't lie. An officer had already taken his firearm before they started firing. He was disarmed and they shot him 11 times while he laid on the street.
I think its easier for people who don't have this happening repeatedly in their neighborhood, but we are NOT okay here. We need our elected officials to do more than say angry words.
