Situation Report
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A local Fox News viewer and self-proclaimed patriot has been gripped by panic and indecision upon hearing that a white police officer recently shot and killed an unarmed black soldier, sources confirmed today.
Harvey McClintock — whose pickup truck window stickers feature the Confederate Flag and slogans like "Support the Troops," "Back the Blue," and "From my cold, dead hands" — heard the tragic story just yesterday evening.
According to reports, Fayetteville Police Officer Murphy Ingram fired multiple rounds at African-American soldier Staff Sgt. Antoine LeClair outside of Fort Bragg, killing him instantly.
"I usually know which side to take right away," said a visibly-distraught McClintock this morning. "But I never thought I'd have to face a dilemma like this."
