01:48 "'Chris died a hero, rushing in without regard to his own safety to protect members of his community. His courageous actions serve as an example to us all,' Williams said in a statement."
06:38 "The NPA advocates the use of force by police when public safety is jeopardized by anti-police organizations such as Antifa and their sympathizers."
08:03 "Apparently cutting off the taxpayer-funded gravy train pissed off a lot of insiders. They soon conspired with the help of newly elected St Louis circuit attorney Kim Gardner, to bring Greitens down."
13:14 "The irony of course, is that Ms. Gardner, in weaponizing government power against her political adversaries and bringing false charges that resulted in bringing down a duly elected governor, may have committed the very violations that the law was designed to prevent."
