The Spin

Narrative A

This incident should never have happened. What began as a disagreement between Sanchez and the driver should not have escalated to violence or resulted in anyone being seriously injured. Nonetheless, law enforcement acted with professionalism and followed the facts, resulting in charges being brought against Sanchez.

Narrative B

Immediately after this altercation, numerous Indianapolis politicians described the city as descending into lawlessness, calling for an increase in their powers to tackle crime. But when the facts emerged, they quietly took down their posts. What the city needs is real leadership — not politicians who rush to judgment.
