Reply to comment by isthatwhathappened in Woman dead after officer-involved shooting in Pittsburgh’s St. Clair neighborhood by byzvntine

Maybe because the police and an anonymous friend of a bystander are the only sources for the "she shot first" claim, and police sometimes lie after shootings, so they didn't want to present an unconfirmed statement as fact?

"sometimes" is being generous. Remember the initial uvalde reports? Or the initial reports on the Tyre murder?

cops lie ALL THE TIME
