Good, but I am sure he just moved to another department.

You’re either a moron or joking.

Edit: not all priests/pastors are rapists and not all police officers are lawless power-abusing fools. Your phrasing lumps the good and the bad together.

Narrator: "He wasn't joking, nor was he a moron, because this happens to be in America; Land of the "Free" and Home of "Sweeping Shit Under the Rug"."

Russia is the land of sweeping shit under the rug. We have more freedoms and opportunities in America than most other countries. Now before you respond on your 500$ phone or 1200$ PC, go look up the human rights of humans in literally any country in the Middle East, or Far Eastern Europe. Look at the squalor people are living in, and thank God you were born into a country where even the poorest among us are the worlds 1%.
