The request for a special order came after the doj said trumps social media posts could, quote, have a harmful, Chilling Effect on witnesses or adversely affect the Fair Administration of justice.

without being murdered. but also four nypd transit cops caught an alleged killer and a suspected serial slasher in under just 24 hours. [cheers and applause] greg: about time, huh? it wasn t that hard since they were both wearing i heart murder and slashing t-shirts. but, seriously, you won t believe how the police did this. they used this amazing technology, pictures. yep, the cops recognized both the perps from internal department wanted posters. it s may i seeing how the whole thing works. you have a guy s description and then you circulate it. and that helps you catch the guy. it s insane. pretty awesome. except, well, we really don t do that anymore. that s why i bring it up. mug shots, as you know, are now considered racist. just like everything else is racist. now, you ve got to remember, after the george floyd riots, one of the first things to go when we decided policing was evil was the use of mug shots. san francisco police chief william scott announced it early o
they announced they are launching a disinformation reporting team featuring journalists whose expertise apparently is fake news. that must ve been been hard to find. every journalist these days as an expert on fake news. like seeing a french bulldog is a expert on farting. that s all they do. something about their flat faces. good to see mpr realizing the necessity of policing fake news like a drug addict checking himself into rehab admitting you have a problem. npr is the first step, so good for you. the first investigation via themselves this tweet from npr it s self right before the 2020 election. here, mpr asks why you haven t seen stories from them about the new york post story on hunter biden which the paper broke a month or so before the 2020 election. as you know, the story was flushed on a toilet like an ounce of crack when cops kick in hunter s front door.
