it's a sign of awful times that mis/disinformation like this spreads exponentially faster than any correction or redaction ever could.
for countless people, the cat is out of the bag regarding the shooter's "trans ideology", left-wing views, etc., and many of them will deny any and all information that disproves it.
and for the same reasons that this malpractice is particularly harmful, these journalists, talking heads, and outlets face little to no repercussion.
the man's behavior was threatening and he did not obey the officers' orders
"comply or die" is such a stupid, barbaric mentality for pigs to apply to a person in crisis
Idk, it feels like they’re achieving all of their material and political goals without - or in spite of - losing public opinion (which remains split to this day)

Bifo wrote about this in his book "Heroes". IIRC, he suggested that these people and their actions are the products of a society where 'survival of the fittest' truisms are the norm; where violence and force are normalized and celebrated; and where people are totally lienated and deprived connection, identity, fulfillment, etc.
These conditions inform a rotten worldview of someone who hates and is hated by society, and these acts can be seen as a reactionary kind of lashing out (i.e., retaliation, taking power back) or a revolutionary 'culling of the weak' (i.e., killing more undesirables, gaining status in their fascist cults)
To them, it’s only violence if it’s against
