I think they probably actually killed him. They said it was a suicide, but he had 2 gunshot wounds to the head. Thats pretty fucking suspect

That right there, his work on Gary Webb. It’s pretty amazing.

He has a few others in like a “suicide watch” series. Or something like that.

The Oklahoma Bombing had a cop who wouldn’t stop investigating it. He got killed.

He had others. I had them in my head a few seconds ago but forgot.

That web page I linked is pretty amazing.
