O'Hara couldn't resist another dig at Moriarty during an interview when asked why his cops did nothing when a stolen car sped by a parked squad, driving recklessly, saying "even if arrested the "juveniles" would be back on the street that night" (so what's the point). kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

Marisa said she is eft with nothing BUt questions.
"What if I would have been armed," she 2 said. "You're breaking in. What am 1 supposed to think? My initial thought was we were being robbed-that my daughters, being females, were being kidnapped. You have guns pointed in our faces. Can you just reprogram yourself and see us as humans, as women? A little bit of mercy. Care a little bit about your fellow human, about your fellow citizen, fellow resident. We bleed too. We vork. We pleed justlike anybody else bleeds. We're scared. You could see our faces that we were terrified. What makes you so much more worthier of your peace? What makes you so much more worthier of protecting your children? What makes you so much more worthy of your citizenship? What makes you more worthy of safety? Of being given
the ight t that they took from me to protect my daughters?"
