Enjoy scratching your brain’s curiosity itch the first of every month here on Steemit for free!

West Valley police shooting of Elijah James Smith
- Police tell the guy to put his hands up. Guy follows police’s orders & puts his hands up. Is immediately shot multiple times and killed. Officers said they feared for their life, and the killing was justified. This is the world we live in. The 6th amendment is no longer valid in the US. Judge, Jury, & Executioner are now part of law enforcement’s main objective.
