A Missouri Friday news drop is mostly intended to evade scrutiny and discussion from the public BUT deserves to be highlighted nevertheless . . . 

Like it or not . . .

FORMER KCPD DETECTIVE FREED AFTER CONVICTION FOR KILLING OF CAMERON LAMB!!!

Objectively . . . 

Local social justice advocates have denounced this expected move in a case that has always been racially charged . . . Meanwhile, pro-police pundits and supporters seemed frustrated that the clemency took so long.
