If local authorities were going to investigate the CBP agent’s shooting of Bautista, the case would probably fall to the Oakland Police Department.
…
Asked whether OPD is investigating the shooting, the department said it “has no authority to oppose or prevent federal investigations” and referred further questions to DHS.
Is it any different if it was a pastor?
It is if you’re spinning it to win the religious constituency away from fascism.
depends if this pastor is evangelical/televangelical, otherwise magats dont care.
Conservatives tend to see them as moral paragons. Theres much less room for whataboutism or bothsidesism when its a pastor/priest.
when they aren’t molesting kids.
I’m glad you had better experiences with Christians, but mine shows them supporting pedophiles. Repeatedly.
Presumably it’s a “women and children” kind of thing. The victim being a (presumably) respectable member of the local community adds some emotional oomph to something that is already bad, though Lemmy is way to anticlerical for this sort of thing to be effective.
If he was a pedo pastor, Trump might actually start to care
Grifter on grifter hate. lol
