She staged the event. She wanted to create an image that would drive a narrative that was different, and better to her cause, than what would otherwise be available for public consumption.
I’m not letting the cops off the hook. This is just a swipe at the media which IS supposed to be able to identfy staged events and either ignore them, or accurately report them as such.
Like earlier posters said, there doesn’t seem to be any good sides here.
She wanted the attention all right. I wonder how she’d have felt if a rubber bullet or Molotov hit her kid? To take a child to something that you knew had been violent is abusive and Selfish.
