It vacillates wildly.

I made comments in the thread on the cop convicted of killing Karon Hylton-Brown saying that statements made by cops about the people they shoot should not be taken as fact that was well received, but when I said essentially the same thing about MPD shooting someone this week, it was downvoted into oblivion.

I think people just really have a hard time maintaining a coherent understanding of what policing is, because it's so much easier to believe the comforting lie that is hammered into our brains about it.

Reminder that several people on this sub thought it was good actually that the PB had MPD on speed dial when the first details of this collaboration broke.

> Leaving out the key detail of the story to push a certain narrative. Yes, let us ignore facts because it gives more evidence towards my worldview, that will surely convince people

That's not a fact. That is the account of what happened given by the police. Police lie all the time.
