16. Looks like they're trying to pull a 'Ferguson' on us

Like in Ferguson, Mo. in 2014, the Prosecutor, Cops and City Hall are preparing the standard 'he's no angel' background information on the victim, which they will start deliberately leaking to the local Fox News affiliate over the upcoming days.

Meanwhile, they'll use their police "investigative" power to seize and suppress any citizen photographic or eye witness evidence which might portray Jacob as a victim, while hiding (with the complicity of the Kenosha FOP) any evidence of prior discipline or brutality on the part of the Cop. Eventually, the public loses interest, the satellite trucks leave town, and the Good'ol Boy network down at the Courthouse kicks in.

That's their formula. Its worked so well in the past... but that was before George Floyd, the Milwaukee Bucks, and one big Woke Nation!
