Despite it being posted here numerous times - along with the /sarcasm tag - 2 co-workers of mine actually said that any facial injuries the officer received were due to the recoil from his gun. I kid you not! (That's when I realized there was no point in discussing this issue any further with these 2.)

Of course, initially they'd said they were not aware he received any injuries at all. I had to ask them what their "sources" were since reports of these injuries were not a secret.

This country is lost.

It’s a widespread symptom...from sports plays to incidents like this, everybody has their own “truth”. Even in the face of video evidence, people just see what they want to see. Have you seen the footage of the shooting in St. Louis? The robbery suspect is walking towards police with a knife in his hand. He gets refuses to stop and gets about 10 ft. away and the cops shoot him. The CNN reporter’s respsonse? “Well, he wasn’t charging them, only walking, and he didn’t raise the knife”. People are just plain nuts.
