Read the Sheriff’s response then ponder this…
McCurtain County officials, including the Sheriff, were just caught on tape, discussing a murder plot of journalist & hanging Black people. The same Black people that are subject to the Sheriff’s authority. What could go wrong?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
