The current week's arraignment preliminary is uncovering what Black individuals have said for quite a long time: The "Blue Lives Matter" mobilizing cry is a flagrant, misleading untruth. On Wednesday, House denunciation directors presented chilling new film of the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Legislative hall. On one side of the dainty blue line were Capitol and D.C. cops exhibiting significant boldness.
