I like that moniker.

She sure got the job done in this case. That was kind of scary just to watch...glad no one was hurt.

Orwell occurred to me first, but then I recalled the much less-well-known short story from an anthology I read a few years back.

Synchronicity!

They were to document the abuses by IDF forces.

They called the program "Shooting Back".

She on meth or just likes hitting cops?
