This is journalism of this era: report before verifying that way you can push your narrative.
Yes, instead of verifying with multiple sources, NPR says the hell with it and admits what they report “may later turn out to be wrong”.
Bodycam footage released Tuesday night showed a police officer in Columbus, Ohio shooting Makiyah Bryant armed with a knife and attacking two other girls.
NPR was among media outlets immediately running with the desired “unarmed” narrative before all the facts were known, but they seem to think the media malpractice can be covered by a disclaimer.
“This is a developing story. Some facts reported by the media may later turn out to be wrong. We will focus on reports from police officials and other authorities, credible news outlets and reporters who are at the scene, and we will update as the situation develops.”

Rutgers University associate professor Brittney Cooper said Ma’Khia Bryant, a black teenager whom a police officer fatally shot after the 16-year-old appeared to attack another with a knife, has been “adultified” because “she was a big girl,” making the remarks during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC.
Cooper discussed the fatal police-involved shooting of Bryant, who is seen on camera wielding a knife, lunging at another girl.
“Look, the arguments for our movement have never been that black people have to be perfect in order for them to deserve dignity, for us to have good policing, for us to be viewed with humanity, for cops to take a breath before they literally get out of the car, guns blazing,” Cooper (pictured) told host Joy Reid, later contending that some do not “understand black girls as girls.”
