"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
There is no evidence that the officer who shot the woman was injured at ALL, despite Trump’s claim here that he is “recovering in the hospital.”
Immediately after the shooting you can see him walking completely normally, and he stayed on the scene for a while before driving off.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".
It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".
The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.
