Ignorant and dum fr
Slowww ehhuhh
So no we do not have a TOP TOP TOP cop. We have a COP who is under investigation after slipping up and has the fire under his backside to get up and do his job.
Otherwise good job to the other officers.
Every striking thing you talking about locked up the parents! It’s the parents let the children go and commit crimes and do other bad stuff. Just shut the % up and come again. Some of these children the parents hardly can manage them. These are the generation of vipers. So don’t blame the parents some of them try their best but it’s not enough at all.
