Everyone responds differently. You'd use words probably because you've found that effective in the past or have strongly associated events such as this where words have solved problems.
You are speculating the family would run to the media and your son isn't dead so your reaction is all speculative.
If facts actually meant as much to you as you claimed you wouldn't so readily speculate and be so quick to paper over your lack of knowledge with your personal biases.
You do indicate you like to use words and you're currently using those words to create an unsupported narrative while getting upset with others for doing the same.
I'd suggest you try and find some time to work of self reflection but you probably just tell me to get fucked.
I’m not creating any narrative.
People are throwing out the claim that he didn’t have a gun and the cops planted it, I’m saying there’s no proof and the family isn’t saying that either.
I’m not supporting the cops killing this kid at all, I get why the dad did what he did too.
It’s just wild that someone can be like “yo I be he didn’t even have a gun and the cops planted it” and my statement that not even the family who saw the video is saying that is in the wrong.
I don’t really need to self reflect on that, tbh.
