It's important in all these publicized police encounters to remember, in particular at the beginning, the following:

1) You weren't there
2) You don't know all the facts
3) the first reports are always the least accurate
4) your bias affects your interpretation
5) The media have and will frame the story according to their biases, including presenting altered audio or video
