We should demand and only post credible/verifiable information or we become purveyors of fake news.
Nothing about this woman's Twitter account seemed legit. It was about 4 years old, but until a few months ago, there were only some random retweets of comical videos and World Star Hip Hop posts. Then, she went pro-Trump (and nothing but pro-Trump posts) for the last few months. She posted a few times about Jacob Blake, but when asked about it she referenced "his ex-girlfriend" and not "my niece." It seemed a little fishy. Perhaps they are one in the same.
There's enough to the video footage to implicate Blake in resisting arrest/reaching for something. There's enough in the warrant and Blake's own testimony (knife on floorboard).
If we start getting caught up in sharing unverifiable information that turns out to be false, others will believe the truths above are also false and our role as guardians of truth disappears.
