Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Seems to me that allowing law enforcement officers to wear masks covering their faces….encourages an environment where law enforcement officers aren’t as concerned about being caught on camera doing something illegal. 🤷🏻♂️

Would Russia benefit from Trump muscling in on Greenland?
Russia benefits anytime there's tension within NATO or between the U.S. and its allies. If Trump took it unilaterally or by force... it could strain U.S.-Europe relations even further.
So...yeah.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Walked through the Tinker Nature Park here in Rochester. Little bit of hard packed snow on the trails, but it's melting. Had to wait for traffic on the bridge. At least 8 deer were just hanging out. I really liked the two that hung out to watch me walk by and checked to see if I was followed.
