Re: the jailed police officer
“The judicial official said the detainee was working at a car park in April 2007 when he asked Issa to move his car to allow others to enter the lot. The officer considered the request to be an insult and arrested him. “
Just how great an inferiority complex must one have to regard that request as an insult.
It is sad how visiting the PA is one of more important aspects of this visit, yet the flag is missing on the banner of that blog.
Is that not a form of incitement?
