And those going out publicly (which the media is spreading) to say things that may not be true (shots to the back, hands up, kneeling on the ground) have stoked the fires already? What about them? Don’t they need to be called out?
Of course, they need to be called out. People (on all sides) need to understand that investigations like this take some time. And that early leaks of investigation in these kinds of investigations are often inaccurate (whether unintentionally, or purposefully to stoke the fires).
This may have been a justifiable shoot. It may have been a borderline shoot. It may have been a criminal act. At this point in the investigation, no one really knows, and people who may know a little bit—particularly those in positions of authority or other high-profile positions (::ahem::benjamincrump::ahem::)—should really learn when to shut the hell up.
