Exactly. The lack of an official explanation in the first press releases is very suspicious. I can’t help but think his skin colour and political leaning have something to do with that. If this was a young Black man, they’d say he reached for a weapon (that was a cellphone but whatevs) and that would be the end of it. They seem to be working harder not to look bad here. They aren’t busting out the usual cop lies (yet), maybe because they know the backlash would be worse because it’s a MAGA white man.
