The Spin
Left narrative
These families deserve this settlement, but the city, state, and law enforcement must do more to strengthen gun control policies and safety plans. So much went wrong leading up to and during this tragedy, so everyone's goal should be to make sure a tragedy like this never happens again.
Right narrative
This tragedy was all about the police officers, who should have to face the consequences for failing to do their jobs. But the media wants to look beyond that and make this tragedy a call for stricter gun control. The focus should be on the law enforcement officers who didn't put their arsenals to use when they were needed.
