Now protesters need police

Strange how some things come back to kick you in the rear. Just weeks ago, six Baton Rouge policemen were shot and three died. Then some of the same Baton Rouge protesters were asking for help from first responders.

Taylor Swift has donated more than $1 million as aid to the area. I’m sure that there are protest leaders who would send some of their millions, if they weren’t so busy trying to hide their multimillion-dollar debt to the U.S. Treasury.
