The Washington Post reported today that Jeff Blake was unarmed when shot.

We know it’s not true. Then investigation showed he had a knife, he admitted he had a knife. But a mainstream newspaper reports the contrary, even though that lie makes it more likely that people will riot, and that innocent cops could be hurt.

Is “enemy of the people” that far off? Deliberately lying, in a way that incites violence?

There’s video of the knife. There’s audio of people yelling at him to drop the knife. There’s Blake’s admission that he had a knife. But the washington post says he was unarmed.
