“There are good reasons to distrust the information found in social media; incorrect reports, false reports, or outright bullshit can lead to online witch hunts like we saw in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. But official media narratives can be just as sketchy. An AP report filed on Sunday claimed that crowds around the crime scene shouted ‘kill the police’ at dozens of heavily armed officers from more than 15 police departments. Local witnesses dispute that claim. Everyone is watching now. A powerful Twitter topic, #IfTheyGunnedMeDown, went big last night. It asks a simple question: what picture of you will be shown on television when you’re shot by the police?”
