Hey, I just posted a link, not my opinion.
I haven't seen anyone accept it "as gospel truth", just as more possible information and another possibility. There's plenty of other evidence emerging to show this might not be what it was originally reported as. I was leaning towards "bad shoot" the first day. Not so much now.
Oh, not a commentary on you just about the badge sniffing contingent. They whine about people not getting all the evidence or believing eyewitnesses who claim the cops acted badly, but take anything that might tend to justify the cops as obvious truth (even when it's from the same sort of person that they entirely discounted before).
"5 eyewitnesses claim it was a bad shoot."
"Pish, all these ghetto black folks lie about the cops."
"Oh, here's one person that may or may not have actually been there who says something that, if you interpret it right, might make it a justified shoot."
"SEE, I TOLD YOU! PROOF IT WAS A GOOD SHOOT!"
I wish I was exaggerating that.
