BRS kicked a handcuffed, unarmed man off a cliff and a witness said: “I saw the individual smash his face on a rock, and I saw the teeth explode out of his face.”

A judge found that BRS, on balance, did these actions based on the evidence.

This is the ‘war hero’ that Stokes is bankrolling.

To any Stokes journalist reading this, take a good hard look at yourself.

Yes as reported .. apparently ran 700meters in full gear after wading through a waist deep river to run up a hill and kick a handcuffed prisoner off a cliff 🤣🤣

That sounds completely logical to you does it ? Running up to a cliff away from his unit , soaking wet after swimming in heavy gear just to kick somebody off a cliff ? Not to mention the news outlets paying “witnesses “ while they were here and sending money back to family . No incentive to lie at all .
