But just because I feel that way doesn't mean I'm the kind of person who says fuck the circumstances, cops are always the guilty ones in every single case. I honestly don't know if that's who you are, but it definitely isn't who am nor who I would ever want to be. Sorry. If you want to label me a cop lover because of that, well I guess whatever floats your boat. Shrug.
But what happens when you reach the point that you cannot trust anything they say? How many lies does it take to make a liar?

Quote: When I announced earlier this morning that I was writing a piece on her story, I received a reply asking, "Will it help me understand the outrage over this? She had a shotgun aimed at police, white or black you are going to get shot."
First off, I don't know if she pointed a shotgun at police or not. Baltimore County police claim to have body cameras on their officers, but we continue to see case after case where they aren't turned on or "aren't working." I'd prefer to see the video before accepting this narrative. Maybe she did point the gun at officers. What I know is this — the Twitter user who said "white or black you are going to get shot" if you aim a gun at police is woefully misinformed.
In the past month alone, white men all over the country have aimed guns at police and lived to talk about it.
As the old adage goes: When one lie is detected a thousand are suspected.
