YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLarry Bushart is a retired police officer who shared a Facebook meme quoting Donald Trump's own words — "We have to get over it" — in reference to a school shooting that happened 500 miles away in Iowa. Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems knew the meme referenced the Iowa shooting. He admitted it on camera. But he omitted that detail from the arrest warrant, set Bushart's bond at $2 million, and left him in jail for 37 days. Bushart lost his job. He missed the birth of his grandchild. Now Perry County taxpayers are paying $835,000 to settle the lawsuit. Here's the full breakdown.
