Multiple sources have spoken to mainstream reporters, people who are fired whenever shown to have made stuff up. Persons like James Mattis, who could contradict the reporting if it was false, are saying nothing. Trump badmouthing McCain is of course on video.

It comes from Olivia Troye. She says it on video. Here is the reporting from the Chicago Tribune, a right-leaning newspaper. Story has link to the video.

The tRumpkin way is to throw every negative thing that comes out about the Mango Messia into a bottomless pit of denial then treat every new thing as if it's the only thing that ever happened. They've been doing it for four years now. They have it down to an art. Bunker-Boy knows this and that's why he constantly pivots to a new "event". He's trying to treat Covid-19 like that but people keep dying.

You have to admit both sides fear monger.

tRump LIED about the effects of Covid. The evidence is on tape coming out of his own mouth. He neglected to advise caution that could have saved lives. He intentionally put lives in danger and you're OK with that?

Both sides?!? Really? Nobody fearmongers like Donny fearmongers. It ain't even close.

To paraphrase an the old Bart Simpson denial line: "Didn't do it/nobody saw him do it/can't prove a thing".

$20M settlement reached in police killing of handcuffed man

https://news.yahoo.com/20m-settlemen...162348449.html

A Maryland county has agreed to a $20 million settlement with the family of a man who was handcuffed in a patrol car when a police officer shot and killed him, a county official said Monday.

The Prince George's County police officer who killed William Green in January was arrested on charges including second-degree murder and has a trial scheduled for next year. Michael Owen Jr., who was a 10-year veteran of the police department, has been jailed since his arrest.

Green, 43, of Washington, D.C., was unarmed with his hands cuffed behind his back when Owen shot him six times, County Executive Angela Alsobrooks said during a news conference Monday. She noted that Owen was the first police officer in the county's history to be charged with murder for a killing while on duty.

It goes without saying, Green, the victim, was black.

Texas sheriff who starred on 'Live PD' charged with evidence tampering in Black man's death

Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody is accused of destroying or concealing audio and video footage that showed his deputies pursuing and using force on Javier Ambler, 40, in March 2019, according to an indictment.

The footage was captured by Live PD cameras on the night that Ambler, a former postal worker and the father of two, died following a 22-minute car chase by Williamson County deputies.

Ambler’s death – and the questions over the destroyed "Live PD" footage – ignited a controversy that led to the cancellation of the hit A&E show in June.

Murder as "entertainment"...
