The Spin
Narrative A
While the officers were not convicted of all the charges they faced, they will be jailed for a considerable period of time for the crimes they committed. Due process is unfolding as it should.
Narrative B
Five officers beat a Black man to death. Police brutality and systemic injustice sparks outrage, but this is followed by a lack of real accountability for police. What will it take to break this cycle of violence?
