I think having that many dead cops on your lawn is a disaster. What are the consequences for that going to be?

In 2017 she recounted the statement saying, “That part wasn’t true.”

The car horn thing is real, regardless. In fact this terrorism tactic was used as recently as... 2 months ago during the height of the NYC protesting. The police drove their cars through Harlem all night with the sirens blaring as a sleep deprivation tactic.

I'd definitely go more in the B range for this one, but still pretty good.

I’m actually genuinely shocked that it’s taken this long for these kinds of stories to arise.

I commend your post but I would lump Obama in there as well, he has literally disappeared. There is zero black leadership at this time; nationwide or NYC wise. Also same with the Clintons, and last I checked, still lived in Chappaqua. Doing nothing for the state of NY.

you really went to bat for them.

Even introverts have their limits. This situation is about to test that. 

I feel no guilt. Just frustration. Frustration that an intelligent man thinks it’s acceptable behaviour. Frustration that my siblings - who were raised by the same mother - give him a pass.
