reports from the police. This is what it has come to. Everyone else gets vetted, why not them?

If you go back and read earlier reports of Breonna Taylor's shooting, you would think she was involved in something nefarious. The headlines read something like Woman killed in police raid. - It would be days before the true narrative was written. It is time to start vetting what is reported by police.
