Texas Sheriff Makes Asinine Suggestion that More Guns Could’ve Stopped Manchester Bombing

Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree took to his social media page to express his political outrage concerning the...

In yet another blow to the family of Terence Crutcher, the officer who killed the innocent man will be allowed to remain in her field and will be paid back-pay for the period she was suspended.
