Twitter Response 8/11/2022
August 11, 2022 From Mike Mancuso via Twitter: What do Baltimore and New Orleans have in common? PC Harrison was police commissioner in both cities and both have crushing consent decrees which have led to the violent crime chaos in both cities. Read this article. FOP3 predicted all of this!!
