The investigation into the shooting of an 18-year-old black male by an off-duty police officer that sparked protest last night hasn’t been completed, but Sally Kohn wants to know why “smaller government” conservatives aren’t already more skeptical of the police account of this shooting and others:
Don’t understand how conservatives otherwise so skeptical of govt suddenly TRUST govt when it comes to police accounts of killing black kids

Conversely, given her skepticism, why does Kohn’s political allegiance remain with the side that wants the government to be even bigger and more powerful than it already is?

Don't understand how liberals, otherwise so supportive of govt, are suddenly so skeptical of it when it comes to police accounts @sallykohn

@sallykohn Wrong! Conservatives believe in letting police & courts determine guilt or innocence, not loot, try in media before facts are in.
