First, let's get the facts on police shootings

This won’t be fun to write.

It’s no fun, of course, to take the side of letting the facts direct our opinions, even if that makes the most sense. You know what’s fun? It’s fun to let our imaginations take over, to theorize and suppose, to fit every square peg of a news story into our round-hole point of view.

To know what happened - and why, of course - without having to really know.
