In what world is it strange that a middle-aged man died of a stroke? It's a leading cause of death.
A better question is how the New York Times got this story so wrong. A fire extinguisher, and then bear spray, at what point do you need to correct a journalist who is obviously relying on untrustworthy sources?
Is it really hard to believe that people would make that mistake based on video evidence? It's like being upset that people believed that Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck and he died of asphyxiation. It really isn't unreasonable for people to believe their eyes and once that's baked in, it's almost impossible to convince people otherwise.

I'm just not sure why it has to be all or nothing. You could acknowledge the violence without treating this like some biblical event and use hyperbolic strong verbs spamming them headline after headline for weeks to paint some narrative to sway the masses.
Yea but you guys seem to struggle to even do that...
