Death Squad Nation: How Trump/Pence Militarization of Cops Ends Forever Any Real Hope of “Liberty and Justice For All”

(The research for the following investigative report required seven consecutive workdays, each day of at least 14 hours duration, instead of the three or four 10-hour workdays I originally estimated.
