They did this in ‘92 with the beating of Rodney King and went to an all white county in search of “an impartial jury”. All four officers were acquitted.
A judge says he may move the trial of

He says their comments about the case may make it hard to find an impartial jury. A trial is currently set for March 8.

I was on a panel with T.I in January where I said gender is a construct. He said that wasn’t true and then went on to explain how masculinity is varied, complicated and not easily defined. Which would make it a construct....😒
