Propaganda Misinformation

2020-08-29 19:32:13.816204+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Did you see photos of officers supposedly injured last weekend in NW cities? The facts don’t check out

The Associated Press checks out some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. This one is bogus, even though it was shared widely on social media. Here are the facts:

CLAIM: Photos show four police officers who were injured by Democrats and Black Lives Matter rioters over the weekend in Portland, Seattle and nearby cities.

THE FACTS: The officers in the photos weren’t injured at U.S. protests — in fact, they were on the other side of the world
