    and certainly the worst officer-involved response to a mass shooting in our nation’s history.

    Actually I think the Kent state massacre takes that title, sorry

      Reread the sentence you quoted carefully. The Kent State Massacre was not a response to a mass shooting. So no, it doesn’t take that title.

        Lol the police declared martial law for 10 days after the shooting and justified this with the lie that the national guard was shot at by snipers!

          Police cannot declare martial law. A Governor can, but not police. So, wrong again lmao. Listen, I don’t have the time or inclination to keep correcting you on basic history and civics, so I’m just going to go ahead and block you now.

            Lolol yeah, the police implemented martial law not declared it, but when the police / national guard are lieing about about snipers trying to gun them down, what governor wouldn’t?

            Clearly you have too much time on your hands if you’re going to be this pedantic of an asshole…
