'You Hate Free Speech' is the go-to Far Right smear every time a targeted group pushes back.
Would be great if headlines like this helped people understand that ugly tactic.

I'm sure there are "deeply conflicting accounts of what happened". However, as we have video of the whole thing those "deeply conflicting accounts" don't matter. One of them is the truth, one of them is a lie and it's not that difficult to figure out which is which.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened."
REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar.
Grow a spine.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.
Scum.
