wtf he has EVERY reason to lie, his friend just got killed by a cop. no one likes that at all no matter who it is

Not saying he IS lieing, but both sides have reasons to lie. Either the officer had justification, or he didnt.

maybe lieing is the wrong word. Embelishing? confused? unsure? those are better words. We dont know what was said or done before he was shot, until we know that the rest is all speculation.
