I found this very disturbing local story while looking for updates on the cop who hit and killed a pedestrian, dragged his body under the police cruiser for over half a mile, then claimed he didn’t know he had hit anyone.
Apparently a lot of young soldiers are making it through the war, and coming home [...]
