Another victim with a different name - Tyre Nichols. The newly released videos of his police beating captured the brutality that his family and authorities had already foreshadowed: He was punched and kicked while being restrained.

Defund stupidity!

While stricter gun control laws may make mass shootings slightly less common, research suggests that the rhetoric of both parties may not tell the full story.
