Mike Davis, founder of an organization that purports to “fight lawfare” on Trump’s behalf, told Fox News readers they should be outraged by police brutality.

Davis made this call for police accountability as protesters take to the streets in Madison, Wisconsin, where Corey Ruiz was tackled, tased, kicked and fatally shot three times Wednesday.
While police say Ruiz, 38, pulled a knife, protesters who have taken to the streets contend the force was excessive.

“He tried and failed to alter the outcome of the 2024 presidential election by prosecuting President Trump across two jurisdictions on two absurd indictments,” Davis claimed.
“It is inconceivable how holding him legally accountable for that conduct would threaten the Justice Department.”
