(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Waukegan police officer who shot and killed a 19-year-old Black man and wounded his girlfriend has been terminated from the department, police officials announced in a Friday night press release that came hours after Lake County’s chief prosecutor said the FBI would be joining the investigation into the incident. In a brief press release, Police Chief Wayne Walles said the officer had been fired for “multiple policy and procedure violations” related to the death of Marcellis Stinnette and the wounding of Tafara Williams. The release did not offer further details, other than to say the decision had been made Friday night. Rumors of the impending termination had spread Friday evening, according to a community source who said a city official had called to share the news.)

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/10/with_all_the_nazi_talk_in_this_election_who_were_the_nazis.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Nazis were a self-proclaimed socialist movement that called for the end of capitalism, abolishment of non-labor income (interest and finance), and proposed an all-powerful central authority to regulate the market. Racial identity politics was used to identify an oppressor class (Jews), that embodied both the evil nature of capitalism and the anti-German nature of communism. Strong nationalistic pride was a core pitch to the people to justify a stronger central authority. The party used militant radical socialist activists to harass businesses and political enemies with acts of violence.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Liam Donovan, a lobbyist and former Republican operative, said the remarks “strike me less as panic and more as resignation setting in.” “Even then only Sasse has been critical of the president.
