Right? They’re not upset that someone died, they’re upset that others noticed.
“Extraordinary times”?! People are exercising their constitutional rights of assembly and petition for redress of grievances! Of course, I guess ordinary citizens expecting TPTB to respect those constitutional rights, let alone inalienable rights like life and liberty, let alone pursuit of happiness, is pretty fucking extraordinary. And they wonder why respect for rule of law is waning?
Note the phrasing. Not “we regret that our officers murdered a man.” Not “we regret the pain we caused another family.” No, it’s “we regret people are talking about it.” Assholes.
