This is also a field test.
If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with.

When cops kill, police agencies often mislead, exonerate too quickly, smear the deceased, use the exonerative tense, etc.
But there's at least usually some solemnity -- acknowledgement that the loss of life is regrettable.
It's the absolute glee in these responses that I can't shake.
