He Was a Great Guy, Right Up Until He Opened Fire on Cops

So yeah, I'm thinking not so great, or at least not great at risk management. Friends remember man who was shot, killed by deputies as kind, loving, funny at vigil Saturday | The Spokesman-Review

And of course this being Washington State Media, you don't find out anything about the circumstances of the shooting until the 17th paragraph. Before that, everything is about how he was a choir boy.

Katie Purvis said Manycolors was a “really solid” person.

“He was just awesome,” Purvis said. “He was one of my best friends.”

Roseanna Muñoz said she had only met Manycolors twice, but everyone that knew him spoke highly of him.

So not only do we get opinion ahead of facts, we get Second Hand Opinion ahead of facts. Un-freaking-believable!

Then in paragraph 17 we get some facts.

As they tried to gain physical control of the man, Manycolors produced a concealed handgun and fired multiple times at the deputies from close range, the release said.

Manycolors broke free of the deputies’ grasp and started to run while firing additional rounds toward the deputies, according to investigators. Both deputies returned fire, striking and killing Manycolors.

He died at the scene.

What could have happened to change the outcome? Not shooting at cops would have been a good start.

But like I said, Washington State Media. You don't think they even pretend to be unbiased when it comes to a police shooting, now do you?
