Schiff said, “Well, I was struck by a few things. First of all, it’s horrifying to watch. And to think about this 37-year-old woman, drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything, seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school,

Who's smokin' who? Re Philadelphia law enforcement, "by their fruits ye shall know them:" in 2024 (the latest yearly figures available) Philadelphia had the tenth highest murder rate in the United States. Since Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner (America's OG Soros prosecutor) is notorious for his refusal to prosecute actual criminals, Sheriff Bilal is correct that there is plenty of room for whomever in Philadelphia's jails.
