things will never change with all the underminded corruption that goes on at the police dept, case in point look at their recent promotions, that says enough in itself especially with a certain new Lt. ask around you will see and hear for yourself. WCSO needs to take over thats for sure
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to the victim and the victim's family but I know this young man and I know for a fact, that he is not guilty. And if the victim is just suffering from a gun shot wound o the right leg, why is Darius being charged with first and second degree attempted murder? That doesn't make any sense.
