Not to be a dick,but what would the purpose be of faking this incident?
Be specific, because it's really not an important part of any discussion happening outside of this board.
But no one is talking about this much in any forums designed to manipulate the public emotionally.
Even as a distraction, it holds little value.
The only purpose I can see is that the media can point to protests being "violent".
That narrative should be completely debunked, as this lady was unarmed and no threat to do harm to anyone, as she is surrounded by armed swat.
As a shot heard around the world, it had a very short lifespan.
Not discrediting your theory,but the entire incident was short lived.
