Goldberg is a HACK and a known LIAR>
HE lied about Iraq and WMD. How anyone can put him forward as a credible journalist is beyond me. He is a lying liar!
"Im At A Loss For Words: The Unraveling Narrative Behind The Atlantics Defund-The-Police Shooting Tale.
A powerful story published by The Atlantic has a serious problem: proof it ever happened.

When social justice activist and lawyer Derecka Purnell was just 12 years old, she and her sister watched a police officer shoot a young boy in a city recreation center because he had ignored the basketball sign-in sheet. This jarring, emotional, and deeply unsettling story was published July 6 at The Atlantic, in the section reserved for ideas, under the bold, attention-grabbing headline, How I Became a Police Abolitionist.
Purnells deeply personal story of shattered innocence and shattered bones at the end of a policemans gun was shared widely among top journalists and activists. I started her article thinking abolition was impossible and ending thinking it must happen, the president of a social justice think tank at Harvard wrote on Twitter, quoting his mother. This is a beautifully written piece, the Atlantics constitutional law editor agreed. Derecka is the future, an activist journalism executive declared.
Theres a major problem with Purnells story, however. Based on a Federalist investigation of newspaper archives and the police department records, and questions to The Atlantic, the police union, and the office of the mayor, it does not appear to have ever happened."
