Does that make the actual story any less disturbing?

The question is what they're leaving out of the story. Maybe this is a full accounting and law enforcement needs to chill the fuck out. Maybe it's not the whole story and law enforcement are doing their job correctly. Maybe it's still an overreaction, but more justifiable. In any case, there is no reason to take Reason at their word.
