To every fake “news” outlet that rushed to condemn and then quietly reversed course once the facts came out; your credibility is gone.You don’t get to scream “justice” while ignoring evidence. You don’t get to fuel outrage, protests, and division with half-truths, then pretend you were “just reporting” when the narrative collapses.This incident is tragic! A life was lost, a family is grieving, and a community is hurting. That matters. Always.But so does truth.Here’s the part many of you conveniently ignored until it no longer fit your agenda:Officers REACT to what suspects DO.Not hindsight. Not headlines. Not social-media outrage.Split-second decisions are forced by THE SUSPECTS actions in real time.If the suspect had stayed home, or complied with lawful orders and commands, she would be alive today; able to speak for herself. Instead, terrible and misinformed decisions led to irreversible consequences. Now a family mourns, a city protests, ANDThis officer will carry post-incident stress and trauma that he never asked for and should never have had to endure.You rushed to judgment.You abandoned context.You traded facts for clicks.That’s not journalism! That’s activism disguised as news.Do better.Report facts before outrage.Truth before narrative.Because real lives; on all sides pay the price when you don’t.
