Everything I know about police, criminals, etc does not come from Law and Order -- which is actually a good thing, as it turns out. One thing I know from experience: most murders have a personal component. And it seems...
I speculate that this point in history will be looked back on as the time when every idiot with an ego and a strange political bent could get a podcast, or some platform, and start polluting the public narrative. Or,...
