"An investigation [...] by outside lawyers spent 81 days interviewing 27 witnesses...

"The 1,052-page investigation report found none of the nine allegations against Patterson could be substantiated."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
