No doubt, it’s compelling to form an opinion and take sides early. But if we have learned anything in these days, it is that the media and even law enforcement can heavily skew initial impressions away from the actual events.
“But if we have learned anything in these days, it is that the media and even law enforcement can heavily skew initial impressions away from the actual events.”
Fine, and if we had any evidence of that, or even a single person who was a witness telling us that, it might be reasonable to think that may have happened. That’s just not the case.
Also, law enforcement in the U.S. has never charged into a crowd of hundreds of peaceful people shooting with automatic weapons either. The closest I can think to that is Kent State, decades ago, and that was the National Guard, and the crowd still wasn’t peaceable. So we don’t even have any comparable past incidents that match the crazy stories people are trying to pass around. You have to basically suspend all logic and common sense to believe those theories are going to turn out to be true.
