Cal Thomas: The George Floyd narrative
Watch the video, read the medical examiner’s documents, and see how the original narrative was wrong. Will jurors succumb to political pressure and the threat of more rioting, or will they examine the entire video and make their decision based on evidence?
Froma Harrop: Americans should not have to live in foxholes
A foxhole is a hole in the ground in which soldiers shelter against enemy fire. Americans are now seeking similar protection by avoiding crowds.
