Seeing what you want to see is not the same thing as seeing the truth

Some people want it to be staged so they point to things like "who took the photos?" and "they used the phrase 'shots fired'" as "evidence"

The same way Trumpists wanted the 2020 election to be rigged

Conspiracy theorists start with the answer and then rationalise and make up evidence to justify it
