The facts, as they currently stand do not look great for MPD. BUT PLEASE I am once again asking for people to wait for more details to come out before jumping to conclusions about who was at fault and what happened.

We should definitely wait until the police investigate themselves

Always safe to assume the police were jumpy, acted irrationally, escalated the situation, and were at fault. You're not gonna go broke making that bet.

No one is saying people can not share their experiences. What we collectively can’t do, is allow our experience to obscure the facts. We need a thorough investigation of the incident. Do police forces have an OIG?

When public safety, human lives, and larger institutional narratives are at play, we should follow the facts, and not our assumptions/feelings.
