No law enforcement officer took an oath to enforce mandates. We took an oath to enforce law and the Constitution of the US. Maybe some officers need to go back and read their oath! Just a thought.

These three men, with criminal records, were out burning and looting property. Then they chose to chase a kid down the road and begin assaulting him. Whether you like it or not, Kyle had every right to defend himself! If you have a problem with that you need to brush up on laws
