The latest iteration of Halloween is in theaters right now, and billboards advertising the film are spread across cities everywhere—including Los Angeles.
Police “activists” in New Jersey staged a protest outside of the employer of a black healthcare administrator who made a Facebook comment referencing police implicit bias against black people, and they say they will continue to do so until she is “held accountable” for her comments.
