Another one,all day everyday it's the same thing.Wait till the majority of us looses a loved one, maybe than we will start to demand something be done.I can't even describe to you the pain I feel for the rest of my life because she was murdered.Democrats have turned the victim into the bad guy and the bad guy is now the hero.Defund the police open borders I don't wish anyone to loose a loved one, but just maybe when there's enough of us out there who has lost a loved one maybe than we will say no more, the people hold the power unfortunately we still have to many drunk people drinking Democrat Kool aid,wake up America
