[@Hate_Untamed]

Unfortunately he is a Democrat, that is a pretty bad start

[@GamersBay]

He is! He's been St Louis county prosecutor for years. He handled the Michael Brown case, and despite pushback from the woke mob, he upheld the law and basically told Brown's mother to go pound sand! She wanted the cop convicted for her son's death, but Bell stood by his conclusion officer Darren Wilson acted in self defense; which is what the evidence and eyewitness testimony showed. There is so much corruption in this country, but I can assure you Bell is not part of it. He's always defended our rights and upheld the law.
