The Spin

Left narrative

Activists and the public won't be deterred, and the police officers responsible for this heinous crime must face accountability. More broadly, there also needs to be drastic changes made to policing and public safety across the nation, or else the cycle of violence will continue as police become increasingly militarized, more prisons are built, and more Black people are incarcerated or murdered.

ABC news

Right narrative

While tragic, the officers who fired on Walker were legally justified in their actions as he posed a deadly threat, as seen by the evidence. Lethal force is sometimes used as a last resort — as was the case here — but it's not the epidemic many claim it to be. In fact, a large majority of officers will begin and end their careers without ever having fired their service weapons.
