    I also hate to say or ask this but … can you attribute this image … where did it come from and who provided it.

    In this day in age of misinformation, crediting and attributing photos is even more important.

    If this photo is mis-attributed or at worst even faked … then posts and comments like this just serve to discredit any legitimacy anyone has to these discussions.

    On the other side of it … once you provide verifiable proof of where images and information comes from … then it only strengthens your advocacy for events such as this.

      @ininewcrow it is shared on siclal media and telegram channels. I am going to find the name of the photographer and share it here.

        It is fear … fear that if I question things I see online, I’ll be labelled as supporting one side or another.

        The only side I support is in saving people’s lives … all lives no matter the race, religion, history or background.

        And I also support truth … truth to expose those who do the killing … as well as from those who are being prosecuted and killed.

        If any untruths are allowed to take hold, then it will only delegitimize any actual opposition to these terrible events. I’m Indigenous in Canada I know full well what it means to have your message muddled, misrepresented and manipulated to control your people who are being prosecuted and dismiss the responsibilities of those in power who are doing terrible things.
