To try a different tack on this, lots of people have recently reposted the original police report describing George Floyd's death. It's technically accurate in the sense that it contains facts, but it's intentionally written in such a way so as to deceive the reader. It was a lie. Fortunately, we had a video recording of that police encounter, so we can see with our own two eyes how Floyd was murdered, and we can see that the police were just lying about what happened. I for one will never, ever take a police report at face value ever again. I'm thankful for the person who recorded that event, because it made me realize that I was placing too much trust in LEOs. Not all police officers are lying miscreants, of course, but we know with certainty that some of them are, so a certain degree of skepticism is warranted.
I don't quite understand why people can't hold the media to that same standard. How many times do you have to be lied to before you conclude that maybe you should update your priors?
