a forrest gump figure he was tasered to death he was tasered nineteen times by. you know there were probes in his flesh to prove it there's a civil case going on the officers were all excused all he is accused of apparently and the police reports are so opaque that it's been very hard to figure it out but apparently all he did was honk at a sheriff who may or may not have cut him off in traffic having violent offenders afraid of them is fine i don't know that all of the population should necessarily be afraid of the police i still have for this hour here in our t.v. ongoing struggle for acceptance we talk to a community who return to the land of the earth and sisters in israel only to find our spiritual home was one of discrimination and social injustice. and we match the russian family so big they can all fit into one picture and say the main problem they come across is remember everyone's birthday. now more than twenty

the blast authorities had no doubt this was a terrorist attack. this is the only it's another challenge for us for zero country so we're going to think of a proper response to it which will find a way to tackle it. we'll have the best investigators working this case ukraine is not known to have any terrorist organizations operating on its soil and all explosions in the past were treated as acts of hooliganism by authorities and the timing of this attack just could not be warse not only the country is going through difficult political times with some already using the bloss to gain points but is also about to welcome many guests from a brokered the attacks on people are still being investigated but they already have very serious implications we are only forty days away from the start of the euro twenty two well football championship in ukraine and poland and the authorities are
