    It’s not “hard to believe” per se,

    Then maybe we should hold of on pushing conspiracies as facts then.

    it’s just uncharacteristic for how law enforcement in this country tends to work.

    Not really. Several mass shooters have been taken alive, include the CO moviee theater psycho.

      Who’s pushing facts? People are expressing doubt at the narrative pushed by an openly mendacious administration.

      And what’s the percentage of non-white shooters captured alive? US law enforcement doesn’t expend much effort in bringing non-white suspects in warm. In fact, they seem to prefer it cold.

        Who’s pushing facts?

        Several people in this very thread.

        People are expressing doubt at the narrative pushed by an openly mendacious administration.

        People think that their rightful opposition to Trump makes it ok for them to lie. It’s unsubstantiated conspiracy and every bit as mendacious as the Trump administration.

        And what’s the percentage of non-white shooters captured alive?

        I don’t know, probably depends on the police force involved and conditions like whether or not the shooter was still holding the gun and such. This can’t possibly be basis to purport that this was some false flag. There’re just way too many other more reasonable possibilities. What purpose would that even serve?

        US law enforcement doesn’t expend much effort in bringing non-white suspects in warm. In fact, they seem to prefer it cold.

        I have plenty of criticisms of US police using excessive or unnecessary deadly force and I think there should be a much higher level of accountability. That said, the fact remains, most criminals are taken alive.
