as a scientist, yes! I always thought it was super weird that outside paid lab work, the only time I ever got a chance to design a research project and carry it out from conception to funding to execution to write-up, was my PhD...and the high school science fair?? How does that make sense?

because I'm not seeing anything in the article that says they've either ID'd the shooter or established alibis for every cop in the vicinity
they looked like a cop, smelled like a cop, acted like a cop, and drove a car that looked "exactly like a police vehicle"...maybe it was a cop

And whether the people do or not, the state violence we are seeing right now is a direct consequence of almost nobody in the media telling the fucking truth about what is happening.
