The only facts we will get on this will be the CCTV footage and the eyewitness accounts from bystanders and cops. After that, we have to make our own best judgment. If you want immutable facts, you will never get them, therefore you can never make a decision, so why comment at all?
If I wanted to “win friends and influence people,” I’d tailor my comments to comport with the popularly held view but that would be dishonest!
