The Spin

Left narrative

Despite playing an active role in Floyd's death, Lane is getting away largely unscathed: this sentencing is nothing more than a slap on the wrist and is a step back in the fight against the police violence that has fueled racial unrest.

Right narrative

While Lane certainly played a role on that tragic day, he's not the monster some accuse him of being. He was a rookie who tried to take charge in a crisis but was dismissed by his superior, Chauvin. Now he's paying the price for someone else's actions.
