Worth Reading – This Isn’t Law and Order. It’s Narrative Control.
I don’t particularly care what side of the political aisle you’re on. If we can’t all agree that using fake images and videos in situations like this is beyond the pale, we are sunk. If law enforcement can create evidence and get away with it, no one is free.
