The Spin

Narrative A

Peterson’s acquittal is a slap in the face to the still-grieving families who lost people in a massacre that Peterson could’ve stopped. This pitiful inaction and failure to do his job to protect the victims. Even worse, he lied about what he saw and heard and should have been convicted.

Narrative B

No law enforcement officer has ever been considered a legal caregiver of a community’s children, and the charges against Peterson were completely inappropriate. His acquittal is a win for law enforcement. No one deserves nearly 100 years in prison for how Peterson acted at the scene of the crime.
