man. I was reading about Albuquerque yesterday. There is a big google sheet of police violence videos. In there there was one of a posse of Albuquerque cops roll up to an old guy lazing in a bus stop and then waste him with an AR. The police department there has been so bad for so many years.. Hiring people that other departments wouldn't take. Killing scores of mentally ill people each year, with no statergy to deal with these people, and then politically freezing out their own district attorney in retaliation for prosecuting some cops where there was clear video of them killing an other homeless guy

One of the people arrested in Albuquerque had been a candidate for office (finishing 5th of 6 for a city council spot). So, that arrest might hinder future failed bids.

"Champions" by the former Ron Artest could be plausibly good. There's also an Artest tribute song to Michael Jackson with was weird even then.

Also on checking Wikipedia, they're formatted the list of former Oak Ridge Boys members across 4 columns and there's a "This section does not cite any sources" notice. The Oak Ridge Boys will do their best to make a run at having a 100 year anniversary
