Police fabricated corroborating details in the Myers shooting account

Evidence

When we arrived in Shaw a crowd was beginning to gather near the convenience store where Myers had been killed. In one of the police accounts, the officer said Myers jumped out of the bushes and struggled with him. There were no bushes anywhere in the area. — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black, 600

• XREF: Connects to the Kajieme Powell killing earlier in the same passage where police claimed a knife lunge that cell footage contradicted — a recurring pattern of fabricated police narratives.
• SHARE: The detail that police claimed Myers jumped out of bushes where no bushes existed is a stark, citable example of fabricated police accounts — worth sending to anyone following Ferguson-era police narratives.
