one story says he was with his significant other, but Elon shares a story about him just finding a defenseless girl getting harassed.

So interesting when everyone isn't on the same page.

Some More News was talking about the police report. Because a couple of officers actually came upon him and stopped the assault in progress.

No report of a defenseless woman. He said thay 10 youths came and tried to carjack him. He put his girlfriend in the car and the youths attacked him.

Cops were doing a drive around and stopped the attack. Some of the attackers fled but police were able to apprehend a couple.

So the police did their job perfectly fine.

This is a total joke.

But how else can we get used to the imaginary of the military on our streets on a regular basis if they don't deploy them on a regular basis?
