It just felt that this was something we really wanted to look into.

You know, how often are people being called deranged leftists, as Goode was called, or a person who tried to murder federal law enforcement like Preddy was called?

And what is the impact of these kinds of public labels on everyday U.S.

DHS considers a vehicle when weaponized to be a deadly weapon.

It justifies the use of force.

And we saw again and again in videos and in these claims that...

The government was alleging that people were trying to ram them.

When Reed is being arrested, she drops her phone, but the phone is still recording.
