This is a question I have puzzled over for years, brought to the fore amidst all the ongoing insanity, by Leonard Peltier's sentence commutation. wray and other leo's over these last five decades, screaming about this apparent monster, as if he had been personally using hot irons on the two fbi agents for weeks. The funeral of one of the three dead victims in the Planned Parenthood killings here, an officer. Nothing for the two civilians killed. And on, and on.
