Americans' perceptions of police drop significantly in one week

Yes, but the case is officially in national spotlight. There will be careers made on the way it is handled one way or another. Right now the pendulum is not on the cops'side so average politician's choice is obvious.

It will be hard to sweep it under the rug. Not impossible. Just hard.

The public is weary and between Epstein hitting Netflix and current waves of protests with all the surrounding circumstances ( brick pallets come to mind ), I would not be sure what the result would be.

The "brick pallet" rumor has been thoroughly debunked. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/investig...

I won't respond to the debunked claim as I did not read enough on it.

That said, the fact that bricks may have always been there does not take anything from my argument. The perception of the existence of spontaneous bricks appearing is already part of today's audience.

Lie can go around the world faster than truth can put its shoes on.

Thoroughly? Really?

International spotlight. There's protests on most continents.

Also, since you brought it up, has anyone seen the Epstein film? ...any mention of the Clinton Foundation /Global Initiative? Other political figures?
